YESTERDAY TRIP AT KPMG

 

Yesterday, a group of 30 students went to KPMG. 

One of my highlights was the food because they have amazing chefs, the food we had was mini burgers, garlic bread, Jam and fruit bread, sausage rolls, etc. 

Another highlight was when we made oobleck which was part of science challenge for my group, its was very fun to play with because when pressure is applied its hard and when you leave it alone it will turn into liquid.

My last highlight was when my group won the quiz by half a point, Water came 4th, fire came 3rd, Air came 2nd and Earth came 1st obviously that was my group, in my group was Zoe, Oalii, Sauma, Bradley, Norah and Jane. 

Also Christine did an awesome presentation, and thanks to Jake, Josh, John, Elliot, Alex, etc.

Thanks to Ms West, Mr J and Rima for coming to look after us. It was an amazing opportunity. 

This is just a couple photos from the day:)

Why does matter matter

WHY DOES MATTER MATTER !!

The three basic properties of matter are : Volume, mass and shape 

All matter is made up of tiny particles called : Atoms 

Volume is amount of space that matter takes up

Mass is the amount of matter in an object 

Liquid take the shape of their container. 

Gases do not have a definite shape of volume 

Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.

Solids  have a definite shape and volume. 

A shape and chair are example of solids 

Juice and Milk are examples of liquids

Helium and Oxygen are examples of gas

Solid ice is melting when it is changing into liquid

The Colosseum was used to entertain people, they did events such as Gladiators contests, animal hunts, and re-enactments. There are even mock sea battles as they flooded the Colosseum with water. Also, the gladiators' shows took place at the colosseum as well. The Colosseum is even big enough to fit/seat 50,000 people. The colosseum is over 1,900 years old. They built the colosseum and it looks like an elliptical shape with a short axis. Emperor Vespasian built the colosseum. The colosseum was named after the Flavian Amphitheater. It was also like a gift to the Roman people. Now that you have finished reading my information report, you called maybe make one of your information report too.

Information Report - Pyramids in Egypt.

 

Did you know that there are pyramids in Egypt? Well, I think you have because it is one of the most visited places in the world! This is also my information report about pyramids in Egypt.

People from Egypt usually build pyramids to make tombs for people who are very special to them and bury them inside the Pyramids. They also bury them with stuff they think that they would need because they believe they can join them in the afterlife.

They buried them in Pyramids because wild animals buried the sand and thieves stole the loot, so they thought that Pyramids would be a good place to bury the dead bodies. 

The Great Pyramids of Giza is the tallest pyramid in the world. It is 146.5 meters (481) feet. Giza is located in Egypt. The Great Pyramids of Giza were built more than 1,200 years ago. 

According to google The Great Pyramids of Giza is 4,500 years old. Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu is also known as Cheops. Giza was found by King Khufu. 

The Red Pyramid was built for Pharaoh Snefru, the father of Khufu. The Red Pyramid is also the second biggest pyramid. It took ten years and 7 months to build The Red Pyramids.

This is my short information report about Pyramids in Egypt and if you enjoy reading this I will do a Part 2.
