Friends

A good friend or even your best friend will always be there for you, caring, kind and trustworthy. They will never lie to you or even back stab give you thing that you haven't got. Invite you to there house and they will always have your back like if you're in trouble they will help you,

At some point  your best friend will betray you  they will  lie maybe they will even  tell your deepest secrets to your worst enemy. Maybe they will start being critical about everything you do. Plus never rely on only one person they can also let you down sometimes. Sure you'll  probably make up but will it ever be the same.

Not likely of course some friendship will last forever if you're in one of those precious friendship. Hold on to your friendship forever and ever.She or he is definitely one worth keeping. Never in life trust or depend on only 1 friend

Rip Current Explanation

Have you ever been to a beach that has a rip current? If you're not sure what  a rip current is pay attention to this as it may save you or your family’s life.

If you discover discoloured water ( never go towards it if you're scared of going out to the deep blue ocean, when discovered the discoloured water you will see that the waves are not crashing in the area where the rip is formed. The ocean will be rushing out towards the ocean.

A rip current is a movement of water or surface current moving directly away  from the shore. It forms because waves pushes water towards the land and it will find a way back out in the sea. Rip currents can be dangerous to people who are swimming in the water but surfers likes to use the rips so they don't have to paddle over the wave.

A rip current can be identified by noticing water is different coloured or when water is calmed amongst the waves . If you're caught in a rip don't panic try to stand if not lay flat like an starfish  and put your hand up don't wave it. go with it let the rip take you out, it only goes as far as the last wave, swim away from the rip and catch the wave back into shore.

I hoped that I was going to enjoy team 4 or 5 performance Welcome onto the stage, give it up for  team five.  As they were walking onto the stage they knew that they had to entertained the students. They Pulled out the noticed board and started painting as fast as they could. As I saw them painting they were steady strokes  blobs and dabbed.

When they finished painting i did not know what they had painted because it was up side down. Then they turn the pitcher around and it was a pitcher of Mr Jacobson, Mrs Jarlman and Mr Burt. They even drew the pitcher upside down I thought that was cool and the art work.  

Watching team 5s performance was really fun. My favourite painting was Mrs Jarlman because it looked skillfully painted and really effective.As team 5s performance came to an end. Mr Burt wanted to say a prayer.

COLD WINDY DAY

WALKING TO SCHOOL ON A COLD WINDY DAY

What makes sound

A world without sound would be very strange and silent.We wouldn't be able to enjoy music and people will find it difficult to communicate it would  be boring.Sound helps us in many different ways. But what is sound?

Hitting an object makes an echoing sound which will ricochet off the object. This vibration is what makes the sound. It vibrates the air  molecule in all directions then travels into the ear. Once it reaches the eardrum it vibrates and changes into electric signal. Then sends the electric signal to the brain.

When sound is a low pitch sound how does it changes to an high pitch sound. So when the sound wave vibrates slow that is an pitch low sound and when it vibrates fast it is an high pitch sound. Frequency to measure sound herz sound wave second.

Sound is an important thing to our body and it will be sad to live without sound
