Did you know that the tallest Dam in the world is 300 meters high it's called Nurek Dam in Tajikistan. 

Did you know that the Ancient Egyptian Sadd-el-Kafara Dam at Wadi Al-Garawi, located about 25 km (16 mi) south of Cairo, was 102 m (335 ft) long at its base and 87 m (285 ft) wide. The structure was built around 2800 or 2600 BC. 

Did you know that the first dam for which reliable records exist was built on the Nile River sometime before 4000 BC. near the ancient city of Memphis.

 

3D Paper Star

For today's activity we had to make a 3D paper star.

 

Maui me te Rā

 Maui is sad, confused and annoyed because the day was going fast . He then found out that it was the sun so he decided to catch the sun before it rises and teach it to travel slowly across the sky!" The next day Māui and his whānau collected a huge amount of flax. Māui then taught them how to make flax ropes, they made square shaped ropes, tuamaka, flat ropes, paharahara, and twisted the flax to make round ropes. When the ropes were completed and ready for use Māui and his brothers travelled towards the east to where the sun first rises. They waited for the sun to come out of its hole, once the sun came out they threw the ropes on it.  Maui told the sun "From now on you will travel slowly across the sky, never again will the length of our day be dictated by you”.  He had succeeded in taming the sun. From that day until this, Tamanuiterā has always travelled slowly across the sky.

The Treasure Code

 How to solve this type of coding:

Before I explain how it works I'm going to give you a little hint and that is that the first letter is T. If you are wondering "How is it T" Well.. By looking at the huge X where the T is you can see that its little section makes a triangle pointing to the right. So what your doing is using the letter and looking at the graph where the letters  is. After that you look at the lines around the letter. For example: E, in the graph makes a square because the lines around it make a square. Because there are two graphs from A to R the second graph has to have a dot in the centre so than it doesn't confuse the person solving it. The reason why is because the graph is the same but the letters in it is different. Just so you could understand more , E on the first graph makes a square. And on the second graph N has a square as well representing the letter. People will get confuse which is why you have to use the dot so they know N is the second graph. And all I said with the top graphs is the same with the bottom ones ( X ) . I hope you understand this well. 

Paper Xylophone

 I'm going to show you how to make a Paper Xylophone by using any type of paper tube like foil tubes, cling wrap tubes, toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes.

Step 1: Tools & Supplies

Cardboard tubes (paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, wrapping paper rolls) / Rubber bands / Yarn, ribbon, or embroidery floss

Step 1: Cut your tubes so that you have 5 different lengths

Step 2: Start with your two smallest tubes and use a rubber band to fasten them together.  

Step 3: Put the rubber band around one tube, twist it (so it makes a figure 8) and put the other loop around the next tube.  Hold them in place and put another rubber band around the two tubes the same way.

Step 4: Then, add the next biggest tube using the same method with the rubber bands.  Keep going until you’ve added all of your tubes.

Step 5: Next, use your yarn, ribbon, or embroidery floss to weave in and out of your xylophone tubes for decoration.

today room 9 did 3D shapes. And it was about counting the edges the faces and the vertices and we had to

take pictures of the 3D shapes from the schools environment and this was our maths for today.

How Animal's Protect Themselves

 1.Where do some animals hide to protect themselves? in tree hollows under rocks and logs and in burrows in the ground.

2. Why does an echidna roll itself into a ball? To protect itself from predators with its spiky shell.

Because it has overlapping scales.

7. What creature would prey on the Owl Butterfly? A larger animal like grasshoppers.

8. Why does the Tawny Frogmouth bird freeze, rather than just sit on a branch, when it is threatened?so it protects itself from getting eaten by its predator and makes the predator think it a broken branch.

9. Why does the end part of a skink’s tail continue to wriggle violently after it has broken off? To distract the predator from killing the skink

10. How do grazing animals protect themselves when they spot a predator?they warn others and then they get in a big group.

The Lost bear

 Once upon a time there was a teddy bear named Fred and his owner was named Jack. Fred was a nice fluffy teddy bear, he was also Jack’s favourite toy.

Jack Loved Fred so much, one day they went on a road trip. When they reached to the motel Jack lost Fred and he was looking everywhere for him but he couldn't find him.

He was so sad because when Jack opened the window he didn't notice that Fred fell out the window. Jack was a bit asleep and he dropped Fred without noticing at that time.

The next day he went back with his dad, the dad parked near the forest where they were passing by the previous day. Jack found Fred so they went back home. Jack and Fred were so happy.

Chocolate Weetbix Slice

Today Room 9 made Chocolate Weetbix Slice, it was really fun making it. We were divided into teams, the number of people that could be in a team is 4 or 5. My team had only 4 people including me. We took turns mixing the ingredients. Each team had a tin and when it was baked each team had their our own slice. When it was in the oven I could smell it, it was very tasty and delicious that I couldn't wait to taste it. I just wanted to eat it straight out of the oven as it smelt quite chocolatey. We added chocolate chips to the weetbix slice which made it more yummy. That was the best day ever.😀
