SEND IT CHALLENGE

 Today in science we made a catapult out of rubber bands, a cup, ice block sticks, a lot of tape and a spoon, it was kind of difficult at the beginning because we didn't really know what to do but we ended up getting it at the end. We done this so we could try and solve problems involving motion. Unfortunately our one did not get very far but it was fun to make and funny to watch when we had a competition within our class to see which contraption could go the furthest  

here is a photo of me and my group trying to create our catapult, it took many trial and errors to make lol :)

Leadership & Goverment

 Over the past few weeks we have been learning about the government and leadership. Leadership is when someone is a leader of something and they are willing to do things for their people. Democracy is when not only certain people get to say what happens because you have your own voice. Government is a group filled with people to govern a certain place. Every single topic we have learnt about they all have a connection to leadership and government, such as leadership within my school, we have many leaders in our school and it goes from the board of trustees ( BOT ) to the head girl and boy and the prefects. You need democracy to have leadership because you will need to have a voice of your own, you need leadership to be in the government because you will have to lead and make good decisions for that area you are governing. This topic made me open my eyes because i didn't know the history and the backstory about all this leadership and government around the world. One massive issue we have in our community is the street lights, we need to get more because it is getting very dark and it's unsafe.
