Wind Racers

Research: We searched up different types of Wind racers. I chose the design as I thought it would work being a pirate ship design.

Design: The Design was a square with curves

Build: Our sail was made of newsprint and taped onto a metal pole. the topsail was made of a curved paper and cardboard.

Test: We raced them with a leaf blower.

Redesign/Make changes: We changed the Bottom sail as it was stiff and didn't help.

Test: We made 10 cm more than the first try

Evaluate: The second one was better

Textiles

In Textiles we have been creating designs to decorate the final product we create. 

Rome and Egypt

In social studies, we have been studying the Rome and Egyptian timeline. In the exhibition we created I made a poster on the Rosetta Stone. But before anyone could see anything in the exhibition, our Principal Mr. R Sutton opened the exhibition by saying a few words and cutting a ribbon. My group consisted of me, myself, and I. My favorite Fact was the whole Mummification process. But my favorite Stall was the Suppli.

This is what our class and 10Hh got up to during this process.

Ancient Egyptian Inventions

Ancient Egyptian times started in 3200 BC. 
During this time they invented multiple items. 
such as:

Pyramids

Mathematics











The police

Glassmaking 











Surgical instruments
















Pyramids. 
The ancient Egyptians built pyramids
as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The
pharaohs were concealed in pyramids of many different
shapes and sizes from before the beginning of The Old 
Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. 
There are about eighty pyramids known today from 
ancient Egypt.

Mathematics.
Ancient Egyptian mathematics is unique mathematics
that was developed and used in Ancient Egypt
c. 3000 to c. 300 BC, from the Old Kingdom of Egypt
until roughly the beginning of Hellenistic Egypt. ... 
Evidence for Egyptian mathematics is limited to the
scarce amount of surviving sources written on
papyri. (papers P.L)

Police.
Most policemen and guards were armed with
staffs, though some would also have police dogs, 
and even types of trained monkeys (though that
was quite rare). Around the time the ancient 
Egyptian police were organized into a more coherent
force in the New Kingdom, a hierarchy was structured. 
At the head was the Chief of the Medjay, meaning
the Chief of Police, and under him were his
deputies. Then each region would have police captains. 
In the more remote areas, such as on the borders, 
the military would take care of the policing duties.

Glassmaking.
It is believed that the Egyptians were among the
first to use glass in their art and culture. As far back
as 2500 BC, amulets and solid glass beads were
made in Mesopotamia. ... Glass is produced from
a mixture of silica-sand, lime and soda.

Surgical instruments.
Ancient Egyptian engraving depicting medical 
instruments, including bone saws, suction cups, 
knives and scalpels, retractors, scales, lances, 
chisels and dental tools.



We are learning about our history and the change in
tools and technology. we have learned about the stone
age and now we have moved onto ancient Egypt. the biggest 
change I have come across is how they treated 
others and the laws they enforced and how they acted.

Stone age // SOCIAL STUDIES

Humans have created art for thousands of years. Some of the earliest
examples of art were made during the Stone Age. ... Early humans used
natural materials like stone, ivory and bone for small Venus figurines. 
And they made paints from natural pigments like iron oxide to create 
scenes of animals on walls deep in caves.

The Stone Age lasted from 30,000 BCE to about 3,000 BCE and is
named after the main technological tool developed at that time: stone. 
It ended with the advent of the Bronze Age and Iron Age . ... The art 
of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human 
creativity, preceding the invention of writing.

This is an example of stone-age artwork we have 
done in our class.

This is not my Artwork. Mine was a story that 
was told like this:
Man Hunts food in the day. He catches wild animals
with a bow and arrow, during nighttime
man and woman gather around fire and dance. 

For my story I used my hands and a stick.

Social studies

Social studies we have been looking at the history of cell phones. We have learnt how technology has changed with time.  Here is my example

Art- Using Textures

We are learning to use textures in Art. This blog is not finished my teacher made me post this lol. 😂😂
