New Learning

Week 5
This week I have learned a lot about Healthy bodies strong minds and stuff like that. We are doing speeches about healthy bodies strong minds. I'm doing mine on gaming so I need to persuade people to think that gaming is good for you. We are also doing passion projects and I'm doing mine with William and Louie about Clash Royale. We are doing fractions at extension maths and next week we are doing decimals. We had the cross country on Tuesday I came 3rd for year 7 boys. I also had netball finals and our team won out of division 2. For healthy bodies, we are learning about kilojoules and how many are in each type of foods.

New Learning

This week I learnt about coordinates at extension maths, The main things were that the Y axis is vertical and the X is horizontal. At science tech, we learnt how heat rises and that when you put a cold coloured ice block it goes down and then in 5 minutes it spreads around the whole thing. We have been doing lots of cross country training so I think that I have been getting fitter. We learnt how to greet people and countries in Mandarin.

Why is the sky blue

The sky is blue because molecules in the air spread blue light from the sun more than they spread red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been spread out and away from the line of sight. Here is a video explaining it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0996ts017U
