Treehouse

Over the last two weeks in math we've been making tree houses. 
I worked with Sherry.
Our tree house has a relaxation room, an entrance, a trampoline room and a main room.
I enjoyed it because it tested my steady hands and colouring skills. I learned how to make different shaped 'nets' for our furniture.

My goals

I am going to commit to writing my stories faster.

I am going to commit to Effective communication.

why schools should have more interesting subjects

Why schools should have more interesting subjects

Maths, Writing,Reading,Swimming. You should know all these subjects off by heart. Do you know why? Well, I do. This is because the school timetable is far too predictable. Today I will persuade you that schools need more interesting subjects. These are my 3 points:1st, you’ll have a better imagination, 2nd, you’ll be more excited about homework and 3rd, you won’t get B-O-R-E-D, bored.

The topic of my first paragraph may seem crazy, and all the same baffle you. But it’s really quite simple. Some subjects really DO increase your imagination. Like Astronomy. Haven’t you heard about the tale of Princess Andromeda who was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a monster by her parents and rescued in the nick of time by the warrior Perseus? The two characters I have named both have constellations. But listen to this: the two groups of stars lie next to each other in the sky.

Next, I’m going to tell you another point of mine. The main topic is homework. You know why? Because interesting subjects mean interesting homework. If one of your subjects is nature your homework would be stating the parts of a flower.

All right, you might not be entirely convinced yet, but I’ll seal off my argument with the main problem. I can explain it with 1 word: boredom. We need more interesting subjects because the others are boring. Probably one exciting subject is chemistry cos it’s full of surprises. Another reason is because the school timetable is too predictable.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that it is necessary to have more interesting subjects. 1st, you’ll have a better imagination. 2nd, you’ll be more excited about homework and 3rd, you won't end up getting B-O-R-E-D, bored.

Marigolds

Marigolds, also known as Tagetes, are one of the prettiest flowers, with colours as bright as the Sun. I am going to tell you the benefits of Marigolds in your garden, their habitat,and companion planting.

Benefits

Marigolds are really helpful as their smell drives away pests such as Aphids,Caterpillars, and white butterflies. Marigolds work like knights for your garden because they drive away pests from your other plants, too.

Habitat

Marsh marigold is a plant of marshy meadows, wet flushes and ditches, from the lowlands to the uplands. Marigolds grow where the air is moist and it rains a lot.

Companion Planting

Marigolds enhance the growth of basil, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, gourds, kale, potatoes, squash and tomatoes. Marigolds also help watermelon as it deters beetles. Beans are bad companions for Marigolds.

Conclusion

Marigolds are very helpful flowers to your garden and I hope you have learned a lot.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

E=mc2. What does that mean? Who invented it? Albert Einstein, of course!

Biography

Einstein came to the world on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. He spent most of his time in Munich. His father owned an electronics company and Albert learned a lot about sci+ol. He did not finish school in Germany, but ended it in Switzerland. Einstein would later move back to Bern, Germany and work in a patent office. Albert immigrated to the US in 1933. He was fleeing from the Nazis in Germany who didn’t like Jewish people. If he had stayed in Germany, he would not have been able to hold a teaching position at the university as a Jewish person. At one point the Nazis had a bounty on his head. In 1940 Einstein became a US citizen. Sadly, on 18 April,1955, he died from Abdominal aortic aneurysm.

E=mc2 and Einstein’s Theory Of Relativity

Albert Einstein had many discoveries as a scientist, but was most known for his Theory Of Relativity. This theory changed much in the way scientists looked at the world and set the foundation of many modern inventions such as the nuclear bomb and nuclear energy. One equation from the theory is E=mc2. In this formula, "c" is the speed of light and is a constant. It is assumed to be the fastest speed possible in the universe. This formula explains how energy (E) is related to mass (m). The Theory of Relativity explained a lot of how time and distance may change due to the "relative" or different speed of the object and the observer.

Passion Projects

At Kohimarama School, We do something called passion projects. It's a learning space that we do every Friday for 2 blocks(2 hours). This term the theme is art. I have decided to do wearable arts. The dress I'm designing is themed from a taniwha, a maori sea monster.The main part is some of those clear files covered with sands from different beaches in New Zealand. Under those is some sparkly gold fabric for that extra sparkle. The sleeves are pale blue with sparkles and the headdress  is colourful. The finished dress will be shown at the art gallery on the 20 September 2017.
