WHEN POPCORN POPS!!!

When popcorn pops 

This simple text will answer all your questions about popping corn, and more!!!

There are many types of corn species. To be precise, SIX. and out of those six the corn which you pop, and the corn which you eat in a barbecue and sweet corn you taste are completely different. The corn which pops, that we all know and love, has a harder shell than the others. This is called THE HULL. When you heat the seed of a popcorn, the water inside the hull, all turns into steam. When this happens, the hull acts much like a pressure cooker. The steem slowly piles up inside the hull. until, pop!!! The strong hull can't take the preure anymore and lets out all the steam. This is when the popcorn we all know and love pops out of the hull ready for us yummy eaters to eat.

Now, you might be thinking, what exactly IS the white thing that pops out of the hull? The white substance is called THE GERM. The germ is the part of the popcorn which would develop if it were planted. This is also where the food of the plant would go if it were to grow.

I sincerely hope that you learned a major part about popcorn, and that I answered all the many of your questions.

Why you have to multiply the base and length and divide it by two.

When you multiply the base and length of a triangle you get either the  area of a square or a rectangle, (depending on the shape of the triangle). But if you want to get the area of the triangle you divide it by two. This is because when you half the rectangle or square you get the triangle.

The formula:

Multiply the base and length, then half it/divide by two

The shoe makers Rival

The shoe makers rival 


“THE DEVIL”, as other shoe makers often call him, is a Machiavellian villain who thrives and gains power from other people's sorrow. He uses his cunning intellect to sabotage and trait other people. He hides his intent and depravity with his consumers and deprives them of the truth. Thus is defined as a poor wimp. His vocabulary is limited and cant discern the words, help, give, honest and compassion. The one thing that he values is money.

How to do a push up

How to do a push up 

 First, you stand up straight. So you stand up, and then you lower your knees. You put your palms facing the ground and your legs like a plank at the back of your body. Now that you know the position that you have to be in when you perform a push up, I will tell you what you have to do when you are in this position. You have to bend your elbows down and do the same thing up. So, bend down and bend up your elbows. The good thing about this simple exercise is that it's SO SIMPLE! That's why I call it LEGENDARY and epic. Just because it's SIMPLE. But just don't make the mistake that all the beginners make. DON'T PUSH YOUR BOTTOM UP! 





 

Missing Cat!!!

MISSING CAT!!! CALL 0224657781 IF FOUND
Tom has been missing 2 whole days!!! 
So if found
Please call. 


This cat is a very special cat. He, Tom as I call him has a “friend” called Jerry who is a mouse. Tom is very well known to get into trouble in the process of trying to catch and eat his “friend” Jerry. Tom is a rather tall cat who has a dark grey skin, and a light blue stomach. He has a white patch at the end of his tail, has dark black eyebrows and  pink ears.

You are very likely to find My lovely cat in the bin trying to find, at the least, some fish. Or you might also have a glimpse of him on a beach trying to get some tan into his skin. You might find the mischievous cat in a kitchen with a slice of meat. Or a house full of mice having a feast. Or at the very least, you might find Tom running away from a dog in need.


If you approach the jumpy cat, he would mostly be fit in case you were hiding a tit of a rat like Jerry himself who would show him his big brown fist. Then he would ask you who youve got there. Inside that big bag which could hold a big grown fish.

So, try grab his fist before he tries to scratch you. I also think that he went away in his own choice and was not kidnaped but PLEASE BRING BACK MY LITTLE SWEETIE PIE.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT  
PAGE NUMBER;13

Sentence; plasma is also artificially created inside nuclear power plants

Prediction: kind of like a factory, which creates something artificially. Most likely something nuclear.

Dictionary meaning; A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. As is typical of thermal power stations, heat is used to generate steam that drives a steam turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.


Own sentence; A Nuclear Power plant fumes out steam in the attempt of creating electricity as powerful as a lightning bolt crashing to the ground.

A little, compact but modern and well secured house stands in the middle of an again small but well maintained garden. This miniature figure of what seems to very well be a house, is covered to the brim with technology of what a normal person cannot take in, manage and definitely not afford. For instance, the house has a brain of its own. As soon as an entity comes 12.72 kilometres or less towards the house and has even the slightest thought of stealing from any house in that range, it will immediately inform the police and raise the protection of the house. There is a chance that you might be thinking, what sought defences go off when the radio signal(the mind detecting signal) goes off. Well you're definitely in luck because I am about to tell you. Well I guess it's not much. It's only a metal fence which goes half the height of the Burj Khalifa and stings you really hard when you touch it. Oh and also a huge ditch appears around my house which is the height of the bridge khalifa and did I mention a warning comes straight to my mind and gives me different defence options to choose from and also… yes I don't think I should exactly explain everything.

 Back to the other descriptions about the house. The building is astonishingly 1 storey and also surprisingly only has a kitchen and a bedroom! now that I think of it I honestly don't know why the defences were there. just to protect some food and a bed? Wait, maybe just maybe, I wasn't honest when I said ‘honestly’ because, around the kitchen and into the bedroom under my bed, there are a few books and under those books is… A TRAP DOOR! I slowly opened the door and it squealed as though it was a mouse in pain(if you didn't notice by now I was actually there I got the house for a very low price. they probably didn't know about the trapdoor.) an Iron ladder appeared into my sight and I slowly climbed down. It was getting darker and darker until it was pitch black. Click! I stepped on something without my knowledge and then suddenly all the lights turned on and an elevator popped up out of nowhere and this last thing would make your brain shatter. It had 16 floors in it...THE END

 With a solid state, the particles are put together in an organised and definite shape. But with a liquid state, the particles are separated and are free to move. And lastly with a gaseous state, the particles are separated; they look as though they are dancing and are further away than the last two.
Monkey symphony 


Once upon a time, when monkeys were the dominant species and humans did not exist, a janitor was playing the piano. He was rather good at playing the instrument. At that time the other janitor who was a gorilla, also stopped moping and was dancing to the wonderful modern beat of the piano.


A few seconds later, the janitors heard someone coming so they quickly stopped playing and dancing and quietly started mopping. curiosity bit the little janitor and he went to look at who was coming towards the piano he was playing before he started moping. It only took one glance at the young monkey professional and the snappy  old teacher to bring back a serious flashback..


When the little janitor was young, as young as Eleven, he was having piano practices with the same grumpy old teacher that he just saw with his own eyes. And it just so happened that the young professional artist was... was his twin!!! His twin indeed. But anyhow, when they both were taking piano lessons, the monkey who went on to become a professional, was playing as his teacher was directing him to. and was quite not interested in playing the ancient way people, rather monkeys did in the olden days, but still did as he was told. But when it came for the other twin, the one who went on to become a janitor, boredom killed him and he started playing modern day music. Now, the teacher got enraged. And she threw a huge bit of potential out of the window. The enraged small monkey stomped out of the room to later become a janitor. 


So now the professional twin was practising the piano on a big stage. And the janitor was watching from backstage. He was playing a boring old tune which only impressed the teacher out of the two twins and the other janitor gorilla. And then suddenly out of nowhere courage filled up the lungs of the professional as he started playing modern rad tunes. Now it was the other way around, the brothers and the janitor were rocking it while the teacher was getting stressed out. In fact the professional’s twin was getting so rocked out that he started playing on the piano next to him. 


The two twins were playing in harmony and the janitor was dancing it out but the teacher was furious she kept going to each twin and was trying to stop them but… NOPE no one was going to stop the rocking twins and the dancing janitor. NO ONE!!! All four of them kept doing their thing the whole afternoon until the evil teacher got tired of them and left.

THE TWO TWIN BROTHERS UNITED!!!

Compare and contrast between chemical and physical change

With physical change the object changes form but Does not change identity.  But on the other hand, with chemical change the product changes completely and becomes something new. The similarity between chemical and physical change is that both of them undergo change. 

Studied on The Islamic festival RAMADAN.

RAMADAN

Ramadan is a festival celebrated by people who follow Islam all over the world. Ramadan is celebrated for a time span of one month each year. The festival is celebrated to improve their overall self  and enhance their devotion and faith. It is also celebrated to give empathy to those who are less fortunate. Ramzan (as it is called in some countries) is celebrated practising fasting. No one is required to fast for an entire month. The practice of fasting during Ramadan means that Muslims may not eat or drink anything including water while the sun is shining. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal called Iftar.

LEST WE FORGET


LEST WE FORGET. Lest we forget the souls, dearest to our heart who sacrificed themselves and perished in one of the greatest wars on earth. Blood shattered, hearts scattered. Let all the newest souls born on this burdenouse earth hear and celebrate the tragedious event. Not with happiness but with the greatest of honour and respect. In late April 1916, Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. fought in the fierce battle of Gallipoli. 2,779 New Zealand soldiers sadly died. Teach and pass on the value of the battle of Gallipoli fought by the Anzacs to all the newest generations. At this time of year in this unintentional and unfortunate lockdown, we can still remember and rejoice the victory of Anzac with honour by hanging a poppy by your window. And if you still want to give a bit more honour to those who lost their lives for the sake of their beloved country, you can stand for a small 1 hour this saturday 25th of april 2020. We remember this day not to celebrate the victory of Anzac but to celebrate the noble souls who were willing to die in the hands of war. NOHO ORA MAI.

definition of physical change

Physical change is when something changes the shape, size or colour And may be used to do
something different. For example if you crush a tissue box it goes through physical change.   

After watching the video I learned that some changes are not physical. Instead of changing and still
being the same things they change completely.

Why we shouldn't wear uniforms.


Intro 

Many kids completely dislike wearing uniforms. Don’t you agree with them. As a Principal it's your duty to make YOUR students happy - right? We shouldn’t wear uniforms because kids don't find them comfortable, it can be expensive for some people and they don’t let kids express themselves in a way they like to. I’m here to persuade you that kids shouldn't wear uniforms whatever their parents say.

FIRST paragraph 

Firstly kids will want to have a feel of comfortable clothing. Uniforms can sometimes be hot and muggy while they can also be cold. Jackets don’t provide nearly as much warmth as they should. I’ve seen children wearing jackets on top of jumpers. This can only mean thatEspecially after a freezing swim in the school swimming pool. Uniforms make people want to take it off and change into something way more comfortable. Don't think that this valid reason is the only reason, I’ve still got some more.

SECOND paragraph

Secondly kids should feel unique of what they're wearing to school. Kids should feel comfortable wearing what they're wearing to school,  and be free to wear their choice of clothing and show their pride. Several people say that as kids we should be able to express ourselves because it gives us a feel of different types of clothes. I personally feel that uniforms take away the colourful self of a kid. When we all grow up, we will be wondering what to wear because we care more about our appearance then. All of us children don’t care how we look because - well because we're kids. This is another crucial reason why uniforms should be thrown away.

Third Paragraph

Thirdly school uniforms are expensive to buy. They also waste your parents money. School uniforms are really hard to buy because education is really expensive. Plus the uniforms can be a big sum of money disappearing just like that. Imagine what would happen if you have siblings.  But if you wear your own clothes your parents don’t even need to waste any money. And your parents can even save up so much money that they can buy you things that you want.But if you have a uniform it is not possible to get what you want. School uniforms sometimes even torch children. But if you wear your own clothes you feel more comfortable. This is yet another very important reason.


Conclusion

In conclusion, in NZ public schools, students should not be forced to wear uniforms. This is because they take away a student's feel of individuality, they do not allow for self- expression, and they do not save some families any money... 
I hope I changed your minds and that you will make hundreds of kids smile by letting them be wild and free and most importantly unique. 

A memorable moment of making a cake in lock down.


My Beyblade FLASH(descriptive writing)

Descriptive writing 
(my beyblade toy)

My beyblade setup, f.l.a.s.his UNBEATABLE. Whenever you launch it into the arena it falls to the floor, like a pearl dropping onto a puddle of water with delicacy. Completely demolishing everything in its sight. “ZOOM!” “BING!” “VSHOOO!” The scene of when the FLASH is in battle is similar to the one where a Peregrine falcon trying to catch up to a cheetah. FLASH being the cheetah and the Peregrine falcon being its RIVAL. FLASH never ever loses an opportunity to add another win in its grip. When launched, the blade bounces in the arena planning its attack. Then it zooms round the ring with ease scraping out bits of colour. After warming up the unbeatable beast HITS the side of the arena for two reasons, one being to showcase or BOAST its stamina and two being to pounce on its RIVAL just like its hero slash inspiration; THE CHEETAH. Whenever FLASH is engraved in battle it always rains fresh spring water. Even if the arena is inside, SUCH is the GREATNESS of Flash. The energy layer of FLASH is its pride and soul. Gleaming with brightness the blade contains a scarlet red base with a BOLT and three stripes of gold engraved in the middle. No one can be prouder with this SPECTACLE of a beyblade.
