Kiwi Can - Week 1

Topic: Respect for our school - Theme: Respect

Today at kiwi can we got to learn how to use our values. We were talking about how to respect our school. To respect our school we need to respect their property like their tables, Chairs ,books and playground. So we played our energizer and it was called heads up. In that game you first start by pointing your head down then as you lift your head up you have to look at a person if that person is looking at you. It was fun. Next we started talking about our values and what our values are. Our Values are Caring, Respect, Integrity and more. Our activity was fun. I forgot what the name was but this is how it goes. So there's a leader she or he has to turn around and do a move like ducking down hands in the air, our hands beside. If the people that are behind the leader do the same thing as the leader loses and has to sit down. Next we got to play GKQ. We got into 4 lines and each line got a buzzer to do. We got some general knowledge questions.

Build a Super Seesaw!

 

Today I got to make a super seesaw. What you will need is a toilet paper tube, Blue tack, String, Long wooden spoon . You first start by grabbing your spoon and your toilet paper tube. After you got the both of them grab your string and then put your spoon on top of the toilet paper tube. Then tie them together and their you have a super seesaw you can put anything on it. I enjoyed learning how to make different types of stuff this holiday. The one I mostly liked was the super column. 

Build a Sundial!

Today I built a sundial, it was hard because I didn't have enough cardboard cause I used it on the super column. I had to make the sundial a lot smaller. You start by cutting a 11 centimeter string then you grab some blue tac and roll it up as a small ball. Then stick your string on to the bluetac then stick the blue tack onto the cardboard then grab a pencil and hold the string and make a circle. I struggled with why it looks like a really bad circle. Then you cut out the circle with a pair of scissors and also draw a 11 centimeter triangle then cut it out. Once that's finished you grab your rolled up blue tack and glue it to the middle of the cardboard circle then grab your tringle and stick it on. After that you mark where the shadow of the triangle is on the cardboard circle. I learned that in ancient times that's how they tracked the time of the day by using the sun.

Build a Super Column!

Today I got to build a super column which was very cool.  For this experiment you will need Pencil, Ruler, Cardboard, Scissors, 3 sheets of paper, Tape and heavy and light objects. You first cut out two cardboard rectangles it doesn't matter what size they are as long as they are identical. After that you grab one piece of paper and fold it verticaly and then cut the middle part of the folded area. Once you have your 2 cut pieces of paper put it on the rectangle and then the top of the paper should be taller then it after that you fold the top of the piece of paper by using the cardboard. Do that twice with your two cut pieces of paper. Then grab your second sheet of paper and fold them 2 by 3. After that you cut it out in the middle once you have unfolded it. After that use one of the folded sheets  and fold them together to make a tringle shape 3D. After that do the same on the other sheet and don't forget to tape it. After that grab the last piece of paper and cut out the middle of the paper and with the both of them roll them up into a circle and tape it. You try your walls first so grab your first piece of paper you expermented on and test out how good it is when presure is applied to it but first put the two cardboard rectangle at the top and the bottom. Then put anything light or heavy on it and see what it can hold after that test it out on your other pieces of paper. 

 

Build an Anti Gravity Glass!

 

Well to make an Anti Gravity Glass you need to have a glass of water obviously, A squared shape cardbord that can cover the glass of water and a jar thats empty that you need just incase you failed your experiment like I did. Cover your cup with the cardboard then flip it over, just try to keep the water inside of it. then once your ready take off the cardboard and It should be able to not spill out but I failed. Next I cut up a water bottle and put a small hole in each side of it, then I put a string into each side of the bottle then double knot it. After that I put some water into it and started spinning it around as you can see in the video the point was to try to balance the water in it.

How to build a Xylophone

Today I did my first experiment and it was quite fun even though I forgot to record but when I do the next experiment I will be sure to record. What we needed for this experiment was some glasses of water that has water in them and don't have water in them. I started tapping my pencil on the glasses and it sounded like and Xylophone. What you do is have different lengths of water in each cup so when you tap each cup it would sound different. After I did that we grabbed 5 pieces of paper and rolled them up then taped them to stay in that rolled up shape. After that I started cutting them to different lengths so when I tap it with my pencil it would sound different.

Gone Wrong

 It was a nice Monday morning coming back from the weekend. I was excited to come back to school because Mark Robert, a former Nasa scientist, is coming to school and testing out an experiment with us. As I got to school, I saw Mark Robert get out of his car and walk into the hall. 

He asked me if I could help him out by setting up his experiment. I was excited but didn’t wanna act like it so I just said “Ok”. As soon as he turned around to walk towards the hall I started jumping up and down in excitement. My best friend Levi looked at me while I was jumping and said “Nerd”. After Mark told me where to put his stuff, He then asked me to go to his car and get some of the other  equipment. I went to his car to get the equipment as I carried it into the hall. Half of the project was already set up by him. 

We finished setting up the project and he asked me if I could help him test it out. He asked me if there was anything in this hall you won’t need I said “ Umm that chair was already broken try that”. He grabbed the chair and he said “watch this”. As soon as he said watch this Levi came running into the hall and Mark got distracted and pointed the machine at him as the machine shot Levi got hit and after 20 long seconds he somehow started shrinking. I was looking at Mark and I said “ HOLY MOLY!!!!” I could hear Levi saying “ Huh what's happening? Why are you guys so tall?”. Mark said “His organs and everything in his body is now gone small but his voice volume and strength was still the same. As I walked up to Levi I picked him up and he said “ DON’T YOU TRY TO EAT ME ZORO” I giggled a little. I asked Mark “ How are we going to fix this ?“ He said “ The only way to fix this is if I could recreate the machine and blast him again but I am only able to do that in my Lab. I said “ Then we should get going” As Mark made up an excuse and told the office lady that someone was attacking his lab he hopped in his car and we were ready to get going. 

As we were  trying to get to the other side of town we were getting chased down by police officers because they thought I was getting kidnaped I put my window down and said “This is all a misunderstanding” but I doubt they could have heard me because of this Thunder. Mark decided to Pull Over so said “ What are you doing you will get arrested” but Mark said “ It’s better off telling them they will think that I am kidnapping you and eventually helicopters would come” I agreed as a entire swat team came to his window pointing their guns at him I put my Window down and I said “ THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING WE FAILED OUR SCIENCES PROJECT AND ACCIDENTALLY SHRUNK  MY FRIEND!!”. The Captain of the swat replied with “ I know he's telling you to say this kid it’s ok we caught him before he used you as a LABRAT!!!!”. 

As Mark got arrested my parents came to pick me up with Zoro but no one knew that and took me home. I was complaining the whole way home but that just wouldn’t listen. I lost hope but 2 hours later Mark's Japanese assistant Nisinoya came and made up an excuse “ Oh I am the school principal I need to take your son to school for his next test”, My parents agreed I actually thought he was the principal but when we both hopped in the car he said “ I’m Mark's assistant he asked me to come fix his mistake. As we reached the lab we got ready to fire the Machine I asked him “ Umm am I supposed to put Zoro somewhere” he said “ In front of the Machine” but as he fired the machine a  huge energy wave got out because Nishinoya didn’t know how to power the machine. But Zoro still turned back to his original size. As everyone had eyes on the lab I went outside and surprisingly there was a news crew they wanted to ask me questions about me getting kidnapped but I said “ Listen Mark didn’t kidnap me he was taking me to his lab because he failed his sciences experiment thats how” The news reporter just turned around and reported what I said. As I watched Mark get released  from prison he told me that I am a good kid and I might become a good scientist myself.

Meeting Andrew

Today we got to meet Andrew the author of the book and the main character of the book were reading. Meeting him was very funny we just finished taking our class photo and we were running back to class to get ready to meet him. As I grabbed my milk carten I saw him walk across the windows to get to our doors and I screamed ANDREWS COMING!!! but in a voice where only the people inside can hear me. One of my friends Kue'a said " So hes the surprise guest. But I only acted suprised so people thought I didn't know because my teacher told me and one of my good friends Richie that hes coming. When he came in I was so hyped to hear him talk. As he was talking he said that when he went to a university and started talking about his story but then he said that a boy their once ran out of the class so he can get a bark from the tree to write about his story and some tips in life. When he was about to go I got the honor to say a thank you to him from our class. He was so nice and funny.

Thank you Andrew Fiu for coming to our school it was an honor.

Rookie of the Year- Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies

If Zion Williamson was healthy the entire year this race would have been closer. Morant is putting up 17.6 PPG and 6.9 APG and currently has Memphis sitting at 32-33 with the 8th seed in the Western Conference.

What is Pauline doing to help animals that are endangered?

The Maori Scientist Harris Pauline is working hard to help animals that are endangered, she is simplifying Maori  traditional knowledge with western knowledge. She managed to gather information from the Maori people who live in Alaska and they say that their lakes are melting faster, their lakes usually melt around summer. When she got the information from Alaska she was wondering if something like that is affecting animals in New Zealand. She found out that Mosquitoes are hatching earlier and animals along with insects are growing faster.

How is the Maori knowledge helping her?

She is also checking out areas around New Zealand and to see if anything weird is happening. Many Maori communities have a great understanding of the plants,animals and insects cycle also Harris Pauline is a part of 3 Maori tribes so she probably understands how the plant,animal, and insects cycle go’s so she knows when climate change is affecting the plants,animals and insects. She is also creating a map that combines the Maori knowledge with our knowledge now and seeing what’s the differences between what happened back then and now.

Should Heat sign Cousins for playoff run?

The Miami Heat possibly might be wanting to sign Cousins for a playoff run, but if the Miami Heat want to sign him then they would have to cut a player off their team. If the Miami Heat sign Cousins then they could possibly dominate the playoffs. Cousins is a good scorer and defender. He's amazing. He has some real talent.

Jameis Winston was a Heisman winner, National Champion, Top draft pick and stat giant. Now he's on the bench.

Jameis Winston was the youngest player to ever win the Heisman. The star player doesn't plan to stay at New Oreland Saints any longer. Jameis has a look at his plan to return to NFL stardom. The past few months should have been impossible to have been able to process for a proud man like Jameis Winston. He has a right arm that can throw 5,109 yards. His name is now in legenary record books with Manning, Brees, Brady, Roethlisberger, Mahomes and Marino along with other legends. The last time we saw Winston, he sure seemed angry. Moments after becoming the NFL's first 30 interception QB since 1988.

Toronto Raptors Will Go After Giannis Antetokounmpo in Free Agency Reports

Giannis Antekokounmpo has been wanted by so many teams. The Toronto Raptors have been wanting Giannis Antekokounmpo ever since they lost their star player Kwahi. Giannis Antekokounmpo is also nicknamed "The Greek Freak" and also he has great talent but I'm saying once Giannis brother gets drafted he gonna surpass Giannis because Giannis brother is basically like him but he has a good Jumpshot, so imagine the brother as a great dunker and he has a good jumpshot.

Pelican's might just be able to win their first ever Championship for the Franchise

Zion Willamson, Lonzo Ball, Jrue Holiday, Brandon Ingram and Derrick Favors this is the new Pelicans lineup and I think it's pretty good because Lonzo Ball is a pretty good Shooting Guard as long as he's with teammates that suits his playmaking he would play amazingly. Jrue Holiday he's real good I've seen his highlights and he was amazing his vision is pretty good he can create space for himself and his teammates.This new lineup can probably win the franchise a championship.

Pelicans road to NBA playoffs just got a little tougher thanks to new tiebreaker rules

This Season the Pelicans OWNED the Portland Trailblazers. Portland Trailblazers point guard wasn't in both of the games but even if he played it wouldn't make any differences because before the All Star break the Pelicans beat the Trailblazers 138-117 even with their star player Damian Lillard playing. The Pelicans dominated the Trailblazers head to head so they got an inside track of a spot in the play-offs. The NBA has decided to play out the remainder of the season, the Trail Blazers are favored in Las Vegas to get the eighth seed. Why? The NBA has determined that winning percentage. not head to head tiebreakers will determine who will be the higher seed if teams are tied in the number of games back.

I'm actually proud that people are protesting for racial equality because when people get mocked because of their skin tone it racially effects them for the rest of their life.

Vince Carter also known as "Vinsanity" he earned that nickname in the 2000 All Star dunk with a 360 degree windmill dunk and it was ranked as the top dunk out of any other dunk in the history of the dunk contest. Vince Carter's 22 year career has now come to an end as they had a farewell game for him. Vince Carter had such an amazing career. It was depressing hearing the News that he's retiring. He was such a fan favorite and he was always respected due to his talent and his passion for the sport.

Warriors first pick on 2020 NBA DRAFT

The Warriors get the first pick on the 2020 NBA draft. They are picking LaMelo Ball.
