Badge of honour

Title:Badge of Honour
Theme:Honesty

A strong theme in the text is badge of honour is honesty.This is highlighted when Tomasi said “Hey isaac me up You need to say. I was at your place Miss latu Will have to believe us. Were school captains right ?”
But isaac had to choose if he was gonna be honest or lie to miss latu for Tomasi. The way it connects with the theme is that Tomasi lies and ain't being honest and is trying to get isaac to lie to miss latu.But my thought is that isaac won't lie and tell miss latu what actually happened and be honest.

Egg and coke writing

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put a boiled egg in a cup of coke?

Egg and coke

We did an experiment with coke and a boiled egg to see what would happen would it grow? would it dissolve? or would it just be the same? Our main observation we were looking at was the cause and effect on a boiled egg. I wondered for a second what if the coke bites through the egg and dissolves inside? Because of the carbon dioxide it might actually disappear but i think it might grow bigger than it’s normal size. My group thought of some ideas on what would happen and we all said it might grow or change colour.

How did we do it?

The first thing we did was we got into groups and sorted out where we were going to sit. We then put our egg in carefully in the beaker and left it till we got our drink there were other drinks to like (Water,Milk,Coke Zero, and mix of all) we then sat patiently and waited for our drink. Our teacher poured the drink in carefully well we waited we sat on the mat and took notes. We 

                               

   What happened?

  When we took the egg out of the beaker it went brown and it looked darker than its original colour. The spot on the egg had blended in with the egg and with the coke on the surface  there was a film (Photo at the bottom).After taking the egg out and putting it on the plate we got toothpaste and a toothbrush and we went around in circles brushing the egg.When we were brushing the egg with toothpaste it was going back to its original colour.

Drawing conclusions

When we brushed the egg and it went back to its original our teacher said it was the citric acid and phosphoric acid in coke that erodes your teeth and made the egg change colour so i suggest after having a drink of coke or coke zero you brush your teeth and keep them clean

WALT-Recraft our writing to add more descriptive language 

Long ago in a mysterious land called pandora.People could roam through the land. The trees always waved at me as I ran past.I was always hunting my prey like a mother watching her kids.The water always lifted my hair while swimming  .The water is like a baby blue crystal sliding down your back giving you shivers with a hint of evil. Our people are like Crystal  blue oceans running through nature hunting you down. Our Moon is a bright block of cheese.Our Floating islands are just like you lifting a glass of water.The Birds lift up your hair while sitting on the grass. Our creatures hunt you down with their sharp teeth and leathery skin. Our flowers are just the same as a totara tree. At night the animals creeped and would pounce up at anytime. The animals are your worst enemies. The sun is a dark soul trying to break free. When you touch our flaming hot fire you’ll feel a spark in your hand. Our fog is a mysterious piece of art because you never know if  a creature cold pounce up at you.Our island is like no other the rocks swing around your head. the ruler is as tall as a giant.the princess is cold hearted dark free spirited. The rocks surrounded our land. We call ourselves avatars.Our island is mysterious not visited by much but kept top secret.Mysterious to all.

Mars writing

I believe that we should move to mars because it’s the only other planet that we can live on, we can build a colony and finally we need to move to mars to save the human race from global warming. 

I firmly believe that we should go to mars because it’s the only other planet we can live on other than earth. It may have a lot of dust storms that last up to four months and volcanoes . But we can survive those little dust storms. 

We could create a new world on mars and plant trees. Build colony stations and also bring oxygen tanks. Secondly it is true that mars used to have water and a bit of oxygen until the water froze and co2 took over mars.There is 95.32% of co2 on mars.We could solve the co2 problem by planting more trees to make oxygen and the problem with the frozen water we can’t solve that problem because of the co2 it made the water toxic which means we can’t drink it 

So I strongly believe that we should move to mars because if earth gives up on us, well, we're dead! Maybe if we send half of us on earth to mars the human race might actually survive. We have up to 7.6 billion people on earth!  Which causes global warming, talking about global warming also known as Climate change it is known for the world heating up and causing more rain, floods,tsunamis,volcanoes and rising water levels. Which causes deaths and  towns and countries getting destroyed.Our earth is not the same that’s why we want to move to mars and create a new world world because on earth

Why do squid have big eyes?

Reasons why Giant squid has humongous eyes is because it helps them see in the deep were its dark.So when predator comes Dashing up to them they can use there  ink sacks to escape that sea creature.It also helps them escape their mortal enemy that's attacking them.Here's a cool fact.Giant squids have eyes as big as a human head Crazy right?.

 Different body parts of a squid?

The different body parts of a squid are amazing. There like no other animals “Well except octopuses” they have extraordinary things inside them. Like a gladuris {Also called a pen} .you can use the pen to draw with the ink from its ink sack. Ink sack is something they use to get away from their predator .Squid protect themselves with their water jet to swim away from their predator. The water jet prepals them up and helps them swim away faster. Squid have eight tentacles the have suckers on all eight tentacles to help them catch prey to survive and then eat it.

Banning plastic bags

Have you ever stumbled upon a dead turtle spewing out plastic from its mouth? 

Well if you haven’t i’m here to tell you how to stop this cause trust me it ain’t pretty it’s horrendous .

 Here's a damaging fact; Some turtles have up to 224 pieces of plastic in them. Also about 100 million marine animals die because of our plastic. Plastic bags kill animals. Our plastic kills birds because when they get trapped in out plastic, they starve to death. 

Our plastics also cause pollution. They can cause pollution from polymer chains and is it good how they end up in our landfill? No it’s DISGUSTING.Did you know when you burn plastic it causes co2 which breaks down our ozone layer.Which causes floods,tsunamis and death to all.

This is bad for our environment.

Cause it turns into micro plastics  and overflows our landfill.

Which means when we build houses, it causes  it to smell and  rot in the ground. Which also means  there going to have to knock down houses. It gets stuck on turtle shells and causes death to them. Which is really sad it turns into coal bleaching  in the ocean. that's bad isn’t it?

Ants Ants Ants

Title: Ants, Ants, Ants, 

1.Introduction 

When a queen ant dies usually the whole colony dies in a few months. Did you know ants can carry 20x there own body weight its like you lifting a car that's how strong ants are. Also bullet ants have the most painfullest sting it's even worse than fire ants sting. And carpenter ants live in houses it's also a safe space 

2.How do ants remember where they live 

Ants remember where they live by leaving a scent trail so they can find their way home but for desert ants it's different they can’t leave scent trail or it will blow away  so they count there steps who ever knew ants could count their steps. So there was these scientist they tested out an experiment what they did was left one ant normal for the next one they cut of his legs and the last one they put stick on to its legs so when the ants tried to get home the one with long legs went past the house the one with its legs cut off got half way home and the normal ant go home perfectly so now the short ant had to count o higher numbers the one with long legs had to count the lowest number and normal one was just perfect.

3.

Where do ants live

Ants like to live underground because it can protect them the usual place you can find Ants is in a underground hole Also houses and logs they live in  cause it keeps them safe so the don’t get wet blown away and also so there prae can’t find them so they hind in those kind of spots it keeps them from getting cold because they only have a little bit of hair on them so they won’t stay very warm if they live in the outside world 

4 Why do ants have antennas

Ants have antennas because it helps them smell things and communicate with other ants

They can also use their antennae to see if a ant is from its own colonies or another ant from a different colonies. Ants use their antennae  to smell things and eat it before they take it back to the queen ant . They can also use their antennae to pick up scents that they left So they could get food for the queen
