My Book Review

Title:	Zac Power: Shock Music
Author:	H.I. Larry
Illustrator:	Cal Bennet
Storyline [summary]	Zac is called by the most famous rock band ever and they asked him if he could play the guitar with them and he said yes.  Was he serious or was this a set up?.
What I liked best	I liked the part when Zac figured out the master minds true identity even though he was disguised as a rock band director.  But little did Zac know Dr drastics plan was to take over the world by hypnotizing every person in the world with his new “hipno song”.
What I didn’t like	The part when Zac nearly died by Dr Drastics wrath. But Zac always finds a way out of his trap
Favourite character	My favourite character is Zac power the main character.  He’s my favourite character because he will never fail a mission, Even in tough times when you think he’ll fail he’ll turn the table and come out as the winner.
Would I recommend this book?	I would recommend this book to those who are interested in action books/movies.

Olympic Artwork

Olympic art work

Here is a unique piece of artwork that I created along with support from Miss Hills and my classmates.

The first step that we had to make was to go on google and find an olympic athlete, after we found our athlete we had to print the picture off.  Then step two was to take a photo of yourself [and we needed our teacher Miss Hills to help us], Ms Hills asked us to look up to the roof like we had just won a gold medal.  Step three was to get an A3 paper and rule 4 cm in on the side and the same thing on the top.  We had to join these to make the border.  Step four was to come up with 2 similes and 2 metaphors for our poster and some speech bubbles and thought bubbles to put the similes and metaphors in.  

On the border of my artwork we had to have the olympic values and they are…

• Excellence
• Friendship
• Respect    

To make the tessellation we needed to measured a triangle with sides that had to be 3.8 cms, I even made hexagons!.  If you don’t know what a tessellation is it’s a repetitive pattern that can’t overlap or have gaps. Did you know that the only polygons that can tessellate by themselves are the hexagon, triangle and square, while the other polygons can’t really tesselate.  A polygon is the posh name for a shape,  a regular polygon is a shape with all equal sides well a irregular polygon is a shape with all unequal sides.

My challenge for you is:  

Can you find the triangles hidden in the hexagons?

Hong Kong STEM challenge

Hong Kong STEM Challenge

           

These are the materials we used:

6 x long sticks

1 x  wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks
4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

Challenge 1 was really hard because our structure fell a couple of times.  The hard thing about this  challenge is that there was a time limit and if it kept falling we would have to start over again.  I think we did well for our first structure, but now  I think we can do better for the next one.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge 2 was really hard because we had to build the tallest structure but the problem was it kept tumbling down.  We ended up being disqualified because we had to many of one material.  But at least we participated and tried, we thought we could complete the next challenge and we did. We think it was because the weight was not equal on both sides.  But then we decided to put two blocks on both sides so it would be an equilateral structure..and that was not allowed and we got disqualified.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

                

Challenge 3 was really easy because the block/stick were sitting on the big flat bored.  The hard thing about it was making the little pieces on top balance.  We could have done better, just by sticking it out more, but at least we tried.
