Hello bloggers! I've been working on a comic style book depicting what has happened in 2020, in our school. we've done tons of things, like camp, surfing, and a big day out that was super fun. It's all on the comic, so take a look! I hope you enjoy it!
I was a pupil at Marshland School and this blog is where I shared my learning. This blog has been archived, no further content will be uploaded or added. You are welcome to continue viewing posts, however commenting has been disabled.

Terrific Term 4 Inquiry!
Hello bloggers! for our term 4 inquiry, we are doing New Zealand culture. we were asked to describe some cultural Maori things, and what they were used for in the past, and what they are used for in the present. I wrote some things about the Haka, Kakahu, and ta moko. all are very traditional and good to describe and research. here's my slide on these things, with their past and present uses, designs, and materials, why it's done, or the presentation.
I hope you like my descriptions! and see you next time!

Horrifyingly Heedful Holidays!
Akaroa
After driving to Akaroa we went to the giant's house. it's an old house on a hill, but the twist is that there is a garden full of mosaics! it's super big, and the owner of the house spent 24 years working on it. We also went to barry's bay cheese. it's a cheese factory, and you can see the process!

Hello bloggers! today after tech, we played a game about New Zealand Sign Language called 'Sign Ninja.' the aim is to get as many points as possible, and then get a belt on your amount of points. you get points by completing sign language. I learned colors, food, and letters! I know how to say my name in sign language! i'd like to show you!
What i said in the video was, My Name Is, H, A, M, I, S, H.
i hope you enjoyed!

The International Space Station's new Module...
Hello bloggers! last week for literacy, we were looking at the ISS. we were asked to make a timeline of the ISS and the introduction of modules and to create a module ourselves to add to the ISS. here's mine!
My Module is a telescope, to observe galaxies light-years away. it can also zoom in to earth!
My Science Experiment!
Hello bloggers! Over the last few weeks, I have been reporting and documenting my science experiment I have done. my experiment is on capillary action, and the possibilities and boundaries of it. I'm experimenting with flowers and the things they can live on, in my case, fizzy drink. I had 3 bunches. one in blue food coloured water, one in the sprite, and one in coca-cola. they would be in there in the same conditions for 4 days. would the plants survive? or would they die? would they even drink the fizzy drinks?
I documented my experiment on Minecraft education edition. here are some pictures or the IRL experiment, and some observation by me. (In no order)
On Day 1 we put the three daffodil bunches in the liquids, Coke, Sprite, and food coloured water. We took a picture of the measurements and the flowers before anything had happened. After this, the flowers barely changed after a few hours of being put in the glasses. Overnight the change started. The main change was that the flowers in the blue food coloured water had changed to hints of blue on the rims of the white flowers. Apart from that, not much else happened.
Day 2
On day 2 some changes on all started to happen. The coca-cola flower was slowly starting to get smaller, though no apparent colour change had happened. The water flower was getting bluer and when touched, it felt sandpapery and rough.
Day 3
On day 3 the first apparent changes had happened on coca-cola. The flower was smaller and withered, and the coca-cola had barely been consumed although it had changed. The sprite looked alright actually, and it felt as it was at the start. The blue flower continued to get very blue and sandpapery and had drunk a lot of the water.
On day 4 the final results were recorded. The blue food coloured water flower is extremely blue, and nearly an inch of water down the side has been drunk. The sprite flower is best off, being able to live off the sugar and other ingredients. At the start of the experiment, I was curious to see the sprite flower at the end since I knew that a little bit of lemonade would lengthen the life, but the sheer amount of sprite would overload it and kill it I did not know.
In the end, it was a very fun and interesting experiment.

Our Amazing maps!
Hello bloggers! Over the past few Fridays, Mr. G's Friday maths group have been making maps! The maps Are our own made-up countries and cities, and it has been really fun and interesting to make! I made a country called Obeliskos, and it has lots of different cities and things! Obeliskos has four landmarks: Basalt valleys, which is a deep canyon entirely made of basalt, but shrubs still manage to live there. Industrialis, which is a hulking city that smells of smoke and has millions of residents. Artemis Volcano, with a massive lava lake inside. And Crater City, with a small wild west town inside. with all these landmarks, we needed to make bearings for all of them, figuring how far away from each other they were, and the location on the grid map. I hope you like it (And can understand it!)

Making a PSA in Python!
Hello Bloogers! (intended) today we blogged our PSA's in python! yes, we coded our own PSAs. it was really fun! I focused mine on littering since it's a big problem everywhere. I see so much plastic and wrappers around Prestons. but I got some pictures of my work!

Rocket flight results!
Hello bloggers! on Monday we got to test our rockets out and send them on a test flight. we flew our rocket... and it was a bit disappointing. one of the fins fell off, and the rocket itself tumbled to the floor. here are our results we gathered and overall score.
The fins were uneven and unstable. We used 3 fins, and we think 4 would be good next time.
The nose cone was surprisingly sturdy for not being glued or taped onto the rocket.
The weight may have been too much. Next time we could add 2 hex nuts to go higher.
The water was fine. We used 260. We might add more to get more thrust.
The psi was as much as we could go, 60. I think we should lower it but by a small amount
I would give it a 4/10. It went poorly and it definitely needs improvements.
But next time, me and my rocket team will make sure to make it excellent.
See you next time!

Global Issues Art!
My art is based on pollution. Pollution is a terrible thing caused by humans, and it’s a big problem in our society today. Pollution is caused by things like throwing trash away or using your car too much.
I’m focusing on air pollution, which is where the air is most damaged by fossil fuels, smoke, and greenhouse gases. This is a big problem in places like India - with big factories pumping out fossil fuels, destroying the air.
I hope my art helps you understand the effect that is happening to our earth. I hope you can be cleaner and kinder to the planet.

WHAT IS THAT BIRD DOING?
Awesome Binary Name!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Then, you need to get all the letters in your first name. for me, it was h, a, m, i, s, and h. then you need to find all the alternative numbers for those letters. eg: a =1, b=2, c=3 and so on. then, with those numbers, you need to make them in the sheet. so the letter I was 9, so I had to add 8 and 1 together. on the 64, you need to add a 1 to top it off. so in the end, we have 1001001. there's a 1 for every number we used. then you just need to do that to all the letters of your alphabet, then you put them all together!

Wonderful week mashup!
on Monday for literacy, we researched some cool mystical cities, after reading about magrathea, a mysterious planet in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy that was considered folklore. a bit like Atlantis. talking about cities in water, I wrote about the legendary city called Kitezh. here's my piece on it.

Fri - yay activities!
they were a bit of a failure. but we'll try again. secondly, I did some art on the 90 seconds colour push website. it's really cool, check it out!
they are really fun to make and look at afterwards. well, that concludes what I've done today. I think I could have cooked the pizza longer and made more 90-second art pieces, but apart from that, see you next time!

On Wednesday, we were assigned to make an argument about the most important thing humanity has ever achieved or created. I thought that language was quite important, so I wrote an argument about that and I also drew a piece of art about it. enjoy!
