Story behind diwali

Diwali is the festival of lights, usually lasting

5 days and celebrated by millions of people

around the world for New Years. It is also a

festival of a new beginning and the triumph

of good over evil and light over darkness.

Diwali originated in India and is strongly

linked to the Hindu religion.

Day 1: Card games, gambling and purchasing gold and metals are

common for the first day.

Day 2: Known as Naraka Chaturdasi or Chhoti Diwali/ demon effigies

are burned in Goa.

Day 3: New Moon day; the most significant day of the festival in

North and West India.

Day 4: Meaning varies across India including the start of

a new year victory over Demon King Bali.

Day 5: Known as Bhai Duj; celebrates Sisterhood.

The festival is mainly about the renewal of life, and bringing

light to replace darkness. Like the chinese new year and diwali

there are similarities. In the Chinese New Year they exchange

gifts, light candles and use firecrackers and fireworks. This

also happens in the Diwali festival. Diwali cultures also celebrate

by making rangoli patterns like these.

Week 5 of reading the story of the race to the south pole

The Story Of The Race To

South Pole

I read an autobiography or a biography book

this week about Robert Falcon Scott.

He was an Antarctic explorer. Ms Kemp

my teacher helped me pick a book for

this week if you don’t know what autobiography or

biography it means a real life story. I don't have a

bit that I like the most about this book.

Simple Machines

 

My class has been learning about magnets and
gravity this term.Here is some of my work that
I have done this term. I have done more activities
like readings and study leader tasks on magnet,gravity
and more. I have learnt a lot of magnets and gravity
to be honest I knew nothing about magnet or gravity
but That they can connect your fridge. One thing that
I learnt in this term is that simple machines are Related
to gravity and something I learnt about magnets is that
they can Attach to black sand or well I never thought of it.

Wild Things Magazine Stop Throwing Food Scraps Into Nature 

I read from the magazine section this week.

I picked this book because it was the only magazine the classroom had.

The three of the stories in the magazine were called The answer can

be brain boggling, Mouthparts beaks and teeth and stop throwing food

scraps into nature. This is the book that i am going to tell you about, my

favoutive bit in the story is. Stops throwing food scraps into nature,

takes scraps home with you and disposes of them in your home or school

bin comset bin. Why this is my favourite bit is because I think that this

can help people realize  that throwing scraps and food into nature can kill

animals. This story can stop people from litter is bad for nature.

story.  There  were  horses, wolves and more.

This is one of my favourite bits in the story.

He’s the smart colt on the whole range that

The Blind Colt Written  By Glen Rounds 

exploring magnetism

Today Emma and I made a game to demonstrate how a magnet can work..I shared the game with the junior class and they all wanted to have a turn. it was easy because all you have to do is bend the pipe cleaners and tie a magnet to  some yarn and a wooden stick... this was a fun game to make.

Week One Reading Old Blue.

Old Blue by Mary Taylor 

Why I picked this book is because I like Nature stories  and the sound of the book Standard
out to me because the Title stood out. The Rarest Bird in the World in 1994 and now it is
one of the most popular birds in New zealand .

Laviona The failed Balloon Bottle Car

Lavonia The Failed Balloon Bottle
Car

               2020-2020 

                   Rest in peace 

This is the bottle car prototype. She was going to look better but we had  no time to         accessorize and this is why she looks like a piece of  recycling.

Things that went well: We got a bottle,
and managed to prepare something in the
limited timeframe we had. She participated in the two races.

Things that didn’t go well: Laviona’s
wheels didn’t move. She moved three inches
away from the ramp where we let her go.
Gravity pulled her down the ramp and air
resistance forced her to stop. The force of
the air resistance combined with the  non
working wheels and stopped her three
inches from the ramp. Her balloon
failed to push her even a millimeter.
The wheels were not aligned and were
working against each other. 

Matariki Stars

Today my class teacher told us to make a Matariki star  for the maori new year.

Questions Worksheet

Fact Card#1: How does water move on the surface of ocean? The water is constantly moving on the top the water moves in the shape of the wave. Fact Card#2: How does water move below the surface of ocean? The water moves in it the currents. Fact Card #3: What are the two types of ocean currents The two types of currents Surface currents and deep currents.

Fact Card #4: Define ocean currents. The sea is moving steams. Fact Card #5: Define the ‘surface current'. currents that move on or near the surface of the ocean i called surface currents Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface currents. There factors that control the surface currents are air currents earth rotation and location of continents

Fact Card#7: Which factors affect the flow of ocean surface water? Global wind belts are a major factor affecting the flow of the sea surface water. Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in ocean? Difference in the water defeatist due to the temperature gradient moves the water and crates in the deep currents Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and warm water. Cold water is more dense and it moves warm water is less dense it rhythm up.

Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel more faster? Surface currents travel much faster than deep ocean currents Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep currents. Deep oceans current caused by change in the temperate. Card #12: How do the Sun and the Moon cause the ocean The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun is also an import factor.

Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave to cause ocean currents. Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? A wave is a rhythm. Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave. Characteristic wave.

Fact Card#16: Write the parameters on which the wave height is dependent. of Wind blows how the distance of time the wind blows. Fact Card #17: What happens during tide? The tide is a pert Lodic rise and fall of the sea level gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? The high tide water is at its highest.

Fact Card #19: What do you mean by low tide? The water is at its lowest. Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pull ocean water? The Moon's gravity pulls the water on the earth towards it. The water moves up into a slight bulge the earth that face the moon.

Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide? Generally one low tide? Low tide cycle take at every 12 hrs and 25 hrs. Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. High tide and low tide is called trident range.

Fact Card#23: When does spring tide occur? Spring tides occur when the earth the sun and the moon are in a line.

Fact Card #24: Which tides occur during full/new moon? Spring tides occur during the moon the full the on and the new moon. Fact Card #25: When does neap tide occur? Neap tides occur when and sun.

#26: Which tides occur during quarter moon? Neap tides occur during quarter moons. Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why? Neap tides are weak tides as the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun counteract each other, creating wacker tidal forces. Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why? Spring tides are a strong tide because the moon and the sun gravitational force combine to crate tides.
