Rockets
Our class has been learning about rockets this term we have been doing lots of testing. My group was Summer,Zoe,Chloe,Tara,Danielle and Nevaeh. Today we did our rocket launching, we have been doing rockets for a while. Today we did our final rocket testing. Our rockets were made out of plastic bottles, ice cream containers and many other things. Our testing one was alright which had 100 ml and 60 psi. That worked alright but we ended up doing 200 ml and 60 psi which worked great and we did it today but miss wasn’t recording it went so high but she didn’t record. Our next one we saw another group do 50 psi and 200 ml we tried it but it didn’t go high at all. I was very happy with out rocket turnout.
Maybe you could do rockets at your school, What would you use for your rocket?

Maths Times Tables Challenge
Whaea Alison said we needed to practice times table but in a really fun way. It would be boring writing it in our book. We needed to be creative and fun but learn at the same time. After doing this I feel more confident with my 8 times tables. What times tables do you need to learn?

Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are a large rotating storm with high speed winds that form over warm waters in tropical areas. Hurricanes have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and an area of low air pressure in the centre called the eye.
Here are some facts about Hurricanes. Hurricanes are giant tropical storms that produce heavy rainfall and super strong winds. Most hurricanes occur harmlessly out at sea. However, when they move towards land they can be incredibly dangerous and cause serious damage. The strong spiraling winds of a hurricane can reach up to speeds of up to 320 km per hour , strong enough to rip up entire trees and buildings. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air above the ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air above the ocean surfaces rises, causing air from surrounding areas to be “sucked” in. This “new” air then becomes warm and moist and rises, too, beginning a continuous cycle that forms clouds. The clouds then rotate with the spin of the earth. If there is enough warm water to feed the storm, a hurricane forms.
Hurricane Wilma is the strongest known hurricane at the moment,in the atlantic. Reaching an intensity of 882 m bar in October 2005. These are the top five deadliest hurricanes ever recorded. 1 Cheniere caminada, 2 Sea islands Hurricane, 3 Hurricane Katrina, 4 Okeechobee hurricane and 5 Hurricane Maria. Hurricane Katrina caused the most damage in 2005 which cost 160 billion dollars to replace things that were wrecked. Not in the top 5 but equally devastating was Hurricane Mitch, It caused 11,374 deaths which is the most deaths any Hurricane has recorded. The weirdest hurricane names are Isaias,Beulah,Flora,FiFi,Hilda,Hortense,Zhorzh,Cristobal,Bertha and Gonzalo.
The worst Hurricane recorded was Galveston on which lasted from the 27th of August 1900 to 15th of September 1900!! The Hurricane that was recorded least harmful was tropical storm Marco which lasted from 20th of August 2020 to 26th of August 2020.
How can you survive a Hurricane ?
Stay inside and keep away from all windows,skylights and glass doors. Go to a safe area such as a interior room, closet or downstairs bathroom. Never go to outside the protection of your home or shelter before there is a confirmation that the storm has passed you area.
How is a Hurricane Created?
Hurricanes only form over really warm ocean water of 80f/26d or warmer. The atmosphere (the air) must cool off very quickly the higher you go. Also, the wind must be blowing in the same direction and at the same speed to force air upward from the ocean surface. Winds flow outward above the storm allowing the air below to rise. Hurricanes typically form between 5 to 15 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. The Coriolis force is needed to create the spin in the hurricane and it becomes too weak near the equator so Hurricanes can never form there.
I hope you learnt something. If you have any questions comment them below.

Writing
The sun shone brightly on my jacket. We walked all the way out to the front of the school. We lounged down on gravel which hurt my buttox and I was squished between Pōtiki and Beatrice. Miss Jago told us to write down everything that we saw, heard, felt, Smelt and thought.
Minutes after a car pulled up by the crossing and a guy with the policeman outfit walked out of his car and knocked on a door with no response. He left and then I could hear a stampede of feet coming through which gave me a big fright. The ran round the corner and I almost died because of how scared I got 😂
Many cars passed, bikers and lots of chirping birds. I could hear cars going past. Lots of people chatting and 2 quiet dogs barking. Weirdly I could smell salt and lynx very weird isn’t it? The air was changing humidity from hot to cold. After we had brainstormed we went back inside.

Royal Flush
Whaea told ATN to take our jackets and jerseys off. She told us to go line up outside, when she came outside she was holding a deck off cards in her hand. We walked to the courts, we were all clueless on what we were doing. We were playing a game called Royal Flush. Whaea split us up in to four teams. I was with Potiki, Tara, Andrew and Turongo. Whaea told each group what suit they were, my group was Diamonds. Whaea said go and we had to run to the middle and line up, wait for our card then we would be given a card and if it was our suit we would take it till we got the whole set but if it wasn’t then we would give it back and another team member would run. It was really fun and I definitely want to play it again!
