the wailing world of wonder pobble 360

0nce upon a time, when magic still inhabited the land that we now call earth, there lived a man with immense power.  Peter Pan Parker had great responsibility because with power comes responsibility. The man with never ending knowledge had one ambitious, crucial and painful job and that was to… get rid of all negative and evil forces in the wailing world of wonder.

The soul had no intention of getting, just giving, giving future generations the relief of not having to deal with any evil forces or spirits. So he worked. He worked day and night, morning, evening, dusk. It would be a miracle to see the man of wonder stop fighting for justice even for a millisecond!  Not that there would be anyone to experience that, if that ever happens in eternity. The only living creatures in that time were of course, Peter himself and some brainless zombies who actually are dead because they're the walking dead! Anyway, the reason for this is because when the first humans, or rather gods, appeared in the wailing world of wonder or earth, an evil force spirit called Ultron also joined them.

ULTRON was a force created by the two original gods, Notch and Hades.  These two gods wanted something to make their job easier so they put their mind and soul into creating a force that can help the earth for eternity. They coded the artificial soul as shown (SAVE THE EARTH FROM ANY THREATS) . This however was a very bad mistake as Ultron saw the human god  race as a threat to earth! Now the biggest threat to earth had been released. 

Ultron did whatever he could to eliminate the human race.  That included turning the new human race that Zeus (one of the first gods who created everything) created, into zombies so that they couldn't manipulate.  This act of Ultron angered Zeus and triggered the gods.

 Everyone was  furious, especially  the now raging Zeus but he couldn't destroy the mighty ultron himself, and no one was quite powerful enough in that time to defeat the dominant mortal. So the first thing Zeus did was ask all the weaknesses and advantages that Ultron had from Hades and Notch.  They of course were super happy to reveal everything because they were much suffering from the unintended disaster.

Any way this was how Peter Pan Parker was created! Oh and by the way I forgot to tell you something quite important. I kind of made all of this up while I was speaking…  now that I told you that, I kind of don't think there is any point in lying to you so, THE END!

Christmas poem

Carols charming my ears.

Happy children rejoicing after getting their beloved presents.
Reindeer racing through the night sky.
I am waiting for the day to come.
Santa's sleigh soaring through the moonlit night.
Trees decorated in beautiful, shiny ornaments
“Merry Christmas!” everyone yells.
A day to remember….
Santa watches all...

this is my paper bag experiment

Inquiry experiment  

Aim/Purpose : To pop the bag.

Prediction - What do we think is going to happen: I think the paper bag is going to explode.

Steps:     

1.  Open up a paper towel on a flat surface
2. Put 4 levelled teaspoons of baking soda in the centre of the paper towel
3. Wrap up the baking soda in the paper towel like a package - Keep the baking soda concentrated in the middle of the paper towel
4. Tape down your package of baking soda with a piece of masking tape so that everything stays in place
5. Open the vinegar and pour it into a cup - until the cup is half full
6. Then open a zip lock bag and pour the vinegar into it
7. Hold the package inside the zip lock bag, making sure it doesn’t yet make contact with the vinegar - then zip up the bag - making sure that it is completely closed
8. Let the package of baking soda drop into the vinegar and the bag up a little so that they start to mix
9. Observe what happens

Materials/equipment:

• Baking Soda  (4 x tablespoons) 
• Vinegar (half a cup)
• Ziploc sandwich bags 
• Plastic spoon
• Paper towel 
• Masking tape

Roles within the group:

1. Presenter - conducts the experiment 
2. Assistant - collects all the materials 
3. Videographer - takes a video of the experiment 
4. Recorder - writes out the steps to follow to correctly conduct the experiment 

After students have prepared they can present the experiment in front of the class who will be the audience. The videographer can record the experiment and the recording can be shared at a later stage.  

The Result - What did we see happen?

The reason for why the paper bag exploded is because as soon as the vinegar met the baking soda it created a gas which created air pressure inside the bag which popped the bag. Surprisingly they both are different reactions. This act can be performed in different ways 

Variables - How could we change the variables?

Predict what might happen if we change the variables 

Experiment - Were our predictions accurate?

The Science - Why did it happen?  Here are some websites to look at…. You may be able to find other websites too!

my experiment

Plants Absorbing Water 

Aim:

To colour celery or cabbage leaves - Try and see how plants absorb water

Materials 

Glass jars x4 

Celery

Cabbage leaves 

4 different colours of food colouring 

Water 

Scissors/knife/chopping board to cut the celery

Method 

FIll up 4 glass jars up to around half way 

Put approximately 10 drops of different coloured food colouring into each jar

Place a celery stick or a cabbage leaf into each jar

Explanation 

Part 1 - Explain why plants need water 

Plants need water for food, to grow, to shape, and finally to spread nutrients throughout its body.

Part 2 - How they absorb water

Plants absorb water through their entire body including roots, stems and leaves. Then their hair creates a pressure which brings the water up its body.

WALT: Write an information report on a bird of our choice

A Hoiho is a yellow eyed penguin exclusive to NZ.  It is endangered and is one of the world’s rarest species of penguin. It is also the bird in the five dollar note, and the bird of the year for 2019.

Looks like 

The Hoiho penguin is covered in feathers.  It has a big white patch on its stomach but its head, back and the top of its flippers are black. It has small yellow eyes as its name suggests. Its bill is red, long and slender. It is also a very tall and heavy creature. 

Habitat

The Hoiho birds habitat includes four main breeding areas in Banks Peninsula, North Otago, Otago Peninsula and the Catlins.  They live in coastal areas, in coastal scrubland and forested areas nearby.

Food/Diet

Hoiho penguins are piscivores, meaning that they only feed on fish.  Some types of fish that they eat are: opal fish, silverside, sprat, aruhu and red cod. Feeding is usually done near the bottom, at depths of up to 160m and as far as 50km offshore.

Breeding

Mating happens about,  Mid-September/October. Two greenish-white eggs, about 75×55 mm in size, are laid. Both parents take turns to sit on the eggs, which takes about 43 days. November/December: The eggs hatch and the guard stage begins.

Predators

On the mainland, stoats and ferrets are the main predators of chicks, and can completely eliminate a breeding area in a single season! Cats are also seen killing hoiho chicks.

Conclusion 

Overall the hoiho penguin is a beautiful unique penguin exclusive to new zealand. Unfortunately though, the hoiho is one of the most endangered animals, with its population being only 1,700.  Humans will need to work hard to assist this bird and help it survive in the wild.

                                                                (Excitement) 

   Excitement is as yellow as the vibrant, bright sun.

It looks like sunflowers in bloom, lambs skipping through a paddock or people riding on a roller coaster.

It reminds me of birthday parties, Christmas, going on holiday or receiving gifts.

It smells like warm mince pie, hot chocolate fudge pudding and a new scent of perfume.

It feels like winning lotto, coming first in a competition or conquering a fear. 

Excitement tastes like cutting a brand new birthday cake and tasting it

Excitement lives in the circus 

It is fun, entertaining and thrilling.
