research project: pencils

                 PENCILS


Pencil, an object that is used for writing and drawing. Have you ever known how pencils were made? Well let me tell you, The core of a pencil is made of graphite, clay and water, during the 17th century the graphite and clay were grounded down by hand, put into a cylindrical mold, and fired in a kiln. Musgrave pencil company, newell brands and palomino are some companies that also make pencils. Fegol | Graphite Pencil vs Mechanical Pencil: which is the best?

Get creative minecraft world

For get creative I made a minecraft world. I hope you enjoy. So first is the mini pool I made to swim in. As we enter into the house there is the kitchen and the living room then we enter upstairs (sorry the house is empty ) We have a bedroom and some lighting not really much stuff upstairs. Then we go back outside to walk on the walkway on the roof of the house to look at the view. I made this house because I thought it would be fun to make, Hope you enjoyed! 



Making Pinwheels

Making pinwheels

We have been learning about wind in class so we have made a pinwheel because it's like a smaller version of a wind turbine.  What is a wind turbine? A wind turbine is a large veined wheel rotated by the wind to make electricity that can power a city. and I learnt how similar the pin wheels and the wind turbine are and that wind turbines are important. Have you made a pinwheel before, did you enjoy making it? And why?

Waiting at the front of the school

   Waiting at the front of the school


It was a warm sunny day but i couldnt feel the heat, sitting down on the hard concrete floor as i stare out onto the road watching the cars drive past easily able to smell the fuel from the cars. I peer upward as i hear somebody walking past i glare across the road as a policeman walks past grabbing keys from a house door as he strolls back to his car. “What is he doing?” i wonder to myself as he drives off. I start to overhear some dogs in the distance which takes my mind off the policeman i glance up and down the street hoping i could see the dogs, unable to see them i sit back down. Trying to focus on my thinking i hear kids talking about how boring it was, i kinda agreed but i kept my words to myself. “Back to class!” the teacher blurts out as she walks inside of the school, i follow behind her as we walk back to class

Athletics Day

                                       Athletics Day


I wake up to the bright sun shining into my room, I sit up as i watch my mum and my sister racing up and down the hallway. I lay back down as i then realise that today was Athletics day, but i wasn’t going still tired i go back to sleep. A while later I wake up to my sister shaking me to wake me up. I get mad as i yell at her to get out of my room. She walks out and tells me to eat breakfast. I then get up to get breakfast, After breakfast I started to do some jobs for my mother because i felt bad that she was unwell. I did the dishes, cleaned the house and the bathrooms, I fed the animals, hanged out the washing and unpacked the shopping. After all the jobs I sat down and laid in bed since im not aloud on technology because i took the day off. I laid in bed I played music and drawed for a few hours i then got yelled at to come and have dinner. I get up quickly since i was starving and I rush to the table to have dinner.
