Energy

This term we have been learning about energy these are the different forms of energy sound heat, light, electricity, kinetic potential and magnesium. the speed of sound is 332m/s, an interesting thing about the speed of sound is that actual travels faster through solids and liquids than gases. if an object breaks the speed of sound it is called a sonic boom. a sonic looks like a cone of cloud coming from the point of the object to the tail. what helped to understand this is watching videos of a sonic boom. In class we did a experiment when Mr marquand stood about 100m away and he clapped to pieces of wood together when he clapped them it took a while for sound to get to us so it was like him clapping then a second later you would here the sound. one of the that still confuses me is a light year many people have explained it to me but i still don't understand it. one of the things i learnt about energy is that energy cant be destroyed or created it can only be transferred. how does sound travel? i used to wonder about this until i learnt its a vibration sent through the which squeezes the molecules which vibrate and push the sound waves this is how sound waves are formed.

Athletics

In week 2 2013 term 4 te pahu school held an athletics day inviting paterangi school this was a series of 6 events shot put discus sprints hurdles long jump and high jump. My favourite event was discus in this I threw 13:57m 12:32m 14:67m I came 2nd by 10 cm Benc came 1st. The challenge of discus is keeping straight when it's flying without it wobbling. In sprints my rival is Ashton we are the same speed when we lined up I was nervous because I wanted to beat Ashton. It is time, take your marks, set clap we were off unfortunately he came out in the lead and stayed in the lead. He won by 10m this was disappointing knowing that my rival bet me. In my day that was about the only down thing other wise the day was great.

Ag day

On wednesday 16 october tepahu school had there ag day it was a time when the students got to show leadership, responseibility and inovation. the students got to show off there pets or there alternitive challenge all the people i asked said one of the most challenging thing was to get there pet moving. and the most challenging event was leading because the lamb would get spooked or start eating grass. in rearing i think the hardest thing was to remember the poinsnus plants and the 5in1 diseases i only remembered five they were polpykidney, black leg, blackdisease, teatnus.as proven the hardest event was leading but there was a lamb kid or calf that would stand out the alternitive challenge was a home challenge and a school challenge this was when the students had to show inovaation to create something new and exciting. all the fun on ag day was in the classes were they were creating clay models, cupcake decarations or they could decarate thre own shirt. the pta put on a great with organising the food and the rings. the food they put on delicious. with out the pta there would have been no agday so i would like to thank the pta of tepahu school.

Market Day

preparing for market day was the hardest thing you think your got everything sorted.But when the day came day it was a big rush and no one was as ready as they thought. Like me for instinct me and tyreece were only just set up. If you were wondering what mine was you try throwing a dart at the ballon and in the ballon there was a peice of paper and if there was a 9 on it you would get 9 lollies. the challenges of this was losing darts and keeping track of how many darts they paied for and how many lollies they had. m favourite store was the hacky sack. if your school is doing one of these just remember you can never be completly prepared.

Room 7 Whakapapa Snow Trip 2013

I woke up at 5.00 i was ready we arrived at school we headed off straight away after about 2 hours we arrived when we got there we got our rental tickets then we went down to the rental place we got our equipment then we all headed off i was boarding. on my first try i got up. it was finally my lesson the teacher was pretty harsh we did something wrong he would throw a snow ball at us. it kinda helped me learn faster. near the end of the day we went on sleds we were all trying to go over the edge.the funniest moment for me was when me and Daniel when down the track on the sleds one time we went down we went up the side and we jumped like 35cm off the ground and about 50 cm long it was very accelerating photo time before we all put our rentals back when were getting our photo token we all threw our snowballs at him. Now we returned or hire gear then we were sent on our way. it was the best day EVER.
