Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been doing door signs with Mr Reizinger and we finished all of our work so we had to do some reaserch on a famous scientest I chose to do Albert Einstein. And this is what I found. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Hello readers today we got our writing assesment from term one and four and we were looking at our scores and seeing what score we got over al for term one I got a four B the topic was is sports better than music. Then the next one was is the refferee always right. And then we need to use the rubric.
I am trying to use other punctuation like commas, question marks and exclamation marks , ? !
I have used speech marks to show someone is talking but I have a few mistakes.
Use commas to show clauses (different parts of a sentence).
I am trying to use organisation words and phrases that grab the reader’s attention and interest.
I am trying to do my strucure ideas are organised in basic paragraphs.
I am trying to organise my sentances by linking together sentences that match what is happening in my writing.
Most of my sentences tell the reader what I want them to know
I hook the reader in by thinking carefully about the way I use my sentences.
Some of my ideas show complexity (have extra information, detail or facts that explain my thinking).

WW1
Hello readers for the last couple of days we have been working on ww1 I have learned heaps about ww1 first off I didn't even know anything about no man's land. After I joined this class I knew what it was it is where everone started and then one team rushed the other team and then half of them dies some of the people had to stay back and get shot because they didn't want to run onto the feild because the were scared of dying. If they stayed back then they still would have died because there is a person that kills people if they do not go. Everyone in WW1 was 13 or 14 so they were still young.

100 Word Challenge
This is my 100 word please leave a comment on my blog on what I could do better next time.
There once was a water park where there were kids playing in the water. They were splashing and you could see a water slide in the back where there were kids going down the slide. It was a very sunny day, enough to get sunburn. There were lanes for people to swim in; there were fast lanes and slow lanes. In the back people were eating food with their family’s. They looked happy. Some of their friends were there so then they got to be with their family and friends. It started to get late and everyone left.

Voltage
Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been doing house plans I chose to do house plan a and we had to do heaps of questions there were normal questions and then we had to do some bonus ones. My favourite part was drawing the house because I like drawing when I had to do the questions I thought it was boring but in the end I just done it and it was easy. Please leave a comment on my blog on what I could do better next time.
The aim is to put some of the ideas that we have learned and to learn OHM’s law
I chose to use 7 lights because that is how many rooms I had. There was one light in the bathroom and laundry, 3 in both bedrooms and 3 in the kitchen and living room.
200÷25=18A
20050=9A
200\100=7A
Current: 14
6x4=24
Calculations told me about how my circuit was working and created energy for lights and it made sense to me.
The project was a bit boring but once we got to start drawing it started to get fun. If I was to do it again I would choose a harder house.
Voltage
What are fuses? A fuse is an electrical safety device built around a conductive strip that is designed to melt and separate in the event of excessive current. Fuses are always connected in series with the component to be protected from over current, so that when the fuse blows it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the component.

Vaping Game
In Health we were set a task that required us to create a game we chose to create monopoly. The topic we chose was vape monopoly we had fake money and we got our vape pieces from the 3d printer. First we had to complete a sheet and then we got to create the game. Once we had done our 6 strategies we started deciding what game we were going to do. From there we started working on the game. It was challenging when people in my group were loud. I coped with this challenge by working with my friends. I worked well but the people in my group were very loud and we lost points. Next time I will work with some new people instead of the people I was working with. I am really proud of our game and it was really fun working with my friends. Our game was to try and help people to stop vaping.

This is what we done today please leave a comment on my blog n what I could do better next time.
The battery on my circuit generates power into the circuit. The wire links to every so the electricity can go all around. And the light bulb just generates light around the circuit. Current is how quickly electrons move and voltage means how much the electrons have.

Science
The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.
Insulators are materials such as glass, rubber, wood and most plastics where the electrons are held quite tightly and are not free to move easily from place to place. A place to get a static electricity is on a tramp.

I was surprised to see people doing the dissection because it was yuck. I learned how to cut inside of a cows eye.

Cay
Would it be hard to live on a small island? I think it would because then you would have to make your own tools to go hunting and get food and water. But there are people who are good at that but all you can hear is the waves and the small island with trees. You might even try and walk around and find creatures.
