Literacy Writing Prompt

The explosion was enormous. We all heard the deafening sound. In seconds Hiroshima was demolished 63% of it was destroyed by the nuke that the USA had dropped. We had never seen that kind of destruction I was lucky to even escape but the bomb made basically everyone including me sick from the emitted radioactive from the bomb.

After that attack I moved to Nagasaki but unluckily Nagasaki got bombed by USA I survived that to but now Japan wasn’t safe unless Hirohito surrendered, and after seeing that Hirohito had surrendered. After that incident Japan also remembered that the USA had almost destroyed Japan.

Then the Americans made the hydrogen bomb which was 1000x more powerful than atomic bombs because atomic bombs use nuclear fission but hydrogen bombs use nuclear fusion which makes them several times more powerful. The bomb had 10 megatons of TNT and the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima only had 10 kilotons (0.01 megatons) that’s how powerful the hydrogen bomb was.

After some years from the first bomb by USA the Soviet Union had made a bomb so destructive that even though the pilot dropped a bomb from 9000 meters and the bomb had a parachute to make the bomb slow down so the pilots had enough time to get out of the test zone it still hit the plane 35 kilometers away. The bomb (Tsar Bomba) had 57 megatons of TNT in it and the explosion made a really big fireball that was 8km wide and about 10.5 km high about the altitude of where the bombers deployed the bomb. The 1 bomb had affected people from 700 kms (400 miles).

 

 

 

 

 

Matariki Pixel Art

Today we should have gone to winter sport but since it was cancelled we made Matariki pixel art. For the pixel art we first started off with watching a video about how pixel art works in the feature they gave. We used google sheets to do pixel art instead of any other fancy site. Since this pixel art was Matariki themed I chose to make a star here’s my star using pixel art:

I first thought of making the outline black but then I also thought what colour I would use for the night sky  background so I had to use black for the background then I chose the closest colour representing black which is grey. Have you ever done a Matariki themed art? If you have what does it look like?

Spelling Prefixes (Literacy)

Today for our spelling we learned about the prefixes ‘inter’- and ‘over’-. For the handwriting task we wrote about the use of the two prefixes with examples. For the task we wrote a story with at least 3 words consisting of the prefix ‘inter’- and ‘over’-. Here’s my story:

 

Today on Saturday I overslept but luckily it was a weekend and it was raining which made it feel cold but I like whenever it rains because the atmosphere feels pleasant whenever it rains. The weather was overcasting even after several hours of rain it seemed like it was never going to end. My friend asked me if I want to come over but since this rain doesn’t look like it’s gonna stop I couldn’t come which was a sad part of the day but the day still looked like it would get better. I was staying at my home without interacting with anyone expect my family I really wanted to go to my friend’s house but it looks like it will be next week.

Nano Girl Assembly

Yesterday we had the whole school assembly and the reason we had the whole school assembly was because of  Nano girl (a science YouTuber). Nano girl came to our school and showed us some cool experiments and the first one was putting her hand on fire by dipping her hand in a liquid that had resistance to fire. For the second experiment she showed us that when blowing into a big tube if she blows really quick then it fills the tube really quick.

She did more experiments which included: blowing beach balls with leaf blowers, using a vortex cannon, using the leaf blower with toilet paper. For the 3rd experiment blowing beach balls with leaf blowers she used high wind then controlled the beach ball movement with the positioning of the leaf blower.

When she used the vortex cannon she named the experiment “using telekinesis”. She first tried using the vortex cannon without anything inside but the air wasn’t really that visible because it didn’t have much pressure so then she put smoke inside the vortex cannon so you could actually see the air. The air came in the shape of a ring. For people who don’t know what vortex cannons are they are circular tubes that release visible air.

For the last experiment she used a leaf blower to blow toilet paper off which looked really cool when done correctly  (they did it wrong the first time). Have you ever seen anything like this? If you have who did it?
