The five boxing zebras jumped over the queen quickly while
fighting wizards.

The quiet white fox jumps around the bush while the lazy
dog eats very tasty candy kittens.

The quiet dainty cute pandas were in a van outside the zoo
and were eating bamboos while jumping and boxing with
their siblings who were like foxes.

wings out in the sky flying like a plane. He
saw a bird flying too, the eagle got his yellow
eyes on him and he seemed like he wanted
to eat that bird. So he followed him, the
eagle was ready to strike him so there he
went… BITE!! He finally got the bird.

How popcorn pops

How popcorn pops

This informative text is all about how and why delectable
popcorn pops. 

The kernel which is basically the small seed has a very
hard shell which is called a hull. The hull traps the steam
and protects the seed. When the heat creates a lot of
steam inside the kernel,the steam rushes out and pops the
popcorn. So then there you have your delicious popcorn
ready to be eaten. But the question is, what's inside the
kernel and what's the white fluffy stuff that came out of
the kernel? Well, inside the kernel we have the endosperm,
the endosperm is the seeds fuel. The kernel also has a
germ inside it which would develop into a plant if you were
going to plant the seed. The white fluffy stuff is just the
starch.

Now you know that inside the kernel there is an endosperm
which is the seeds fuel. You also know that the kernel’s
hard shell is called the hull.

Taking Flight

Taking Flight

I was riding on my radio flyer when suddenly
I appeared in an airplane flying like a bird in
the blue sky. I was having so much fun in there
so then Nonno twirled the plane around in a circle
like as if I was twirling around in a roller coaster,
WHOOSH!!.
My blue teddy was acting like a scaredy-cat, he
probably didn’t like flying in a plane. Suddenly, the
aeroplane ran out of fuel.  We jumped out of the
plane like we were diving in a swimming pool. I
pressed the button and then, came out the
parachute like as if a balloon popped out of the sky.  THE END

Area

Why finding the area of a right-angled triangle is base multiplied by height, divided by 2.    

The area of the square is 30cm².

As you can see that the area of the triangle is half of this

6cm x 5cm = 30cm ÷ 2 = 15cm² 

Finding the area of the triangular shapes

Change

What is Change?

The definition of change is that when you
change something to something else. Like
for example, when you put hard chocolate
in a microwave it melts and is not hard
anymore, that is change it used to be hard
but then it melted.  Even if you put water
in a freezer the water hardens and then it
turns into an ice cube. So these are
examples of change.

Chemical Change

Physical Change

What is a Physical Change?

I have learned the following things
from this video. A physical change
is when you change its size and
shape but not what it is. Like for
example, when you get a piece of
paper and make it into a plane
you just changed its shape but
you didn’t change what it is.
Even if you chop some vegetables
they are still vegetables but you
just changed its size and shape.
Such as paper scrunching, tearing
paper, making different things out
of paper are not chemical changes,
but physical change.

Why we should all wear mufti to school

Why we should all wear mufti to
school

In my opinion, we should all wear mufti
to school and here are some reasons why.

We should all wear mufti to school because we always have to wear the same uniform every day. It’s because sometimes you may even forget where you put your uniform which is something very annoying.

Well, when you wake up in the morning
and see your uniform still wet cause
it has been in the washing machine
the whole time. But When you get
to wear mufti you don’t have to worry
about your clothes still in the machine
you can go to your closet and pick
out another outfit.

When you get to wear mufti then you get
to wear different clothes every day.
The other reason you should wear mufti
it’s because you don’t have to look in
the same outfit every day.

Conclusion - Hopefully you should now
know why we should all wear mufti to school.

Fun Things to do in Auckland City

The Blueberry Farm

The Blueberry Farm

“Quick! Wake up you two come downstairs!
my mum said in a loud voice to me and Rayan
( My brother ).

“What happened?” I said in a sleepy voice.

“We are going to the blueberry farm,” said my mum.

As soon as I heard the word blueberry
I leaped out of my bed and ate breakfast
as soon as possible. My little brother was
so excited, he even started slapping me.

“Hey stop slapping me Maaz” I shouted at him.

 If you didn't know, whenever my little brother
is too excited he starts to hit me or slap me
and I hate when he does that.

When I and my family got dressed we all went
outside and sat in the car. Waqar
( My eldest brother ) sat in the very front seat.
My mum and Rayan sat in the back seat
and me and Maaz sat at the very back seat and
my Dad was driving the car. This drive
was 2hrs long, it was taking ages but I never
slept in the car. I was getting sick of sitting in the car.
Outside the car window, all I saw were lush tall green
trees and houses. Soon we arrived there and
I gently stepped out of the car.

I and my family went to the ice - cream side first.
I chose to eat the blueberry cone ice - cream.
When I licked the fresh cold ice - cream it
was delicious and creamy. I loved the ice - cream
and so did little brother. As soon as I finished
my delectable ice - cream we decided to go to
the blueberry picking side.

When we were at the picking side this lady gave
each of us a bucket to put the blueberries inside.
As we walked into the lush blueberry bushes
we started picking the blueberries.  My mum
said to pick the fat ones because they are
sweeter and juicy, so I mostly picked the fat ones.
It was extremely boiling hot there, that's why
I was wearing a hat. 

After we had picked the blueberries we sat in
the car and went straight to this little shop.
We all sat in the car waiting while my dad
told that man in the shop to pack our
blueberries in a green plastic bag. When my
dad brought the blueberries in the bag he sat
back in the car with us.

My dad drove the car back home and as usual,
it took us 2hrs to get there. I loved going to the
blueberry farm. It was my best weekend ever! :)
