Reading

Today I read a chapter of Conspiracy 365 September by Gabrielle Lord. In this chapter, Callum (the main character) is upset about his sister Gabrielle because she fell in a river and he couldn’t catch her in time so he thinks she is dead. But during the middle of the night on September 1st he sees a black figure leaning over him as he tries to sleep. He overloads with thoughts about who it is until, he heard his name. Callum realizes that he recolonizes the voice…Its Gabrielle. Shes alive, he cannot believe it. He jumps up and gives her a massive hug. They started talking then heard a noise, Callum didn’t want to lose Gabrielle again, so he grabbed his little sister and ran to the top of a hill and put her down behind a big rock. He stands in front of the rock and notices that the figure has there head down and is about a meter shorter then him. He starts to worry about what to do.

Today I read a section of Guinness world records 2012. The part I found interesting is that the longest monster truck ramp jump was 61.57 meters over a Boeing 727 passenger jet at Smyrna airport, Tennessee, USA, on 11 September 1999, During the run-up, Dan also set the record for the fastest speed for a monster truck, which is 111.5 km/h (69.3 mi/h).

Today I read another chapter of Conspiracy 365 by Gabrielle Lord. In this chapter Callum and his little sister talk about what happened when they were apart. Callum was saying about how he jumped in the river after his little sister to try and get her but the current was to strong for him to swim in. Gabbi (little sister) said that when she fell in she said that there was a sleeping bag over her head and she couldn’t breath, then she got stopped by a log and pulled the sleeping bag off her head and used the branches to pull her self onto the bank out of the river.

My Active Lifestyle

In P.E we are learning about winter sports. In winter sports we are gonna be doing basketball, hockey and football. So far we have been learning hockey skills. This meant we had to control the ball with the stick and score a goal without letting the other players get the ball of me. One thing I would like to do is hit the ball as hard a I can.

Science

NET FORCE: Net force occurs when the opposing forces are different sizes.

If the forces are the same  they cancel out so there is zero net force.

If the forces are different they do not cancel out.

There will be a Net force in the direction of the larger force.

Films

My favourite film is Cars, Cars is an animated film series and Disney media franchise set in a world populated by anthropomorphic vehicles created by John Lasseter, Joe Ranft and Jorgen Klubien. The franchise began with the 2006 film, Cars, produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film was followed by Cars 2 in 2011.
