My Egg Drop

How it works

The experiment worked because the gravity pushed the egg in the cupful of water. We put it on a toilet paper roll, plate then a cup full of water. You have to put the toilet paper roll on the the absolute right spot otherwise it will not work but you have to pull it quick because the motion will go good and if you do it slow it will lose its balance and hit the cup or ground.

Rugby

RUGBY

I chose rugby over pizza because rugby is fun and anyone can play it. People will give me questions and I will respond to them in a small paragraph saying what I would like to be and what else I would rather do in the great game of rugby.

1. What sport  would you do instead of rugby ?-Crystal.

2. What rugby team do you wish to play for-John.

3. Where are you hoping your rugby career will go?- Rhys.

4. When you are older will you become a rugby player? Charlotte.

5. Do you wish to take a career? and be an All Black?-Georgia.

Rugby is my favourite sport because it is really active and a bit dangerous but my second option would be Cricket because it can be really fun when you get people out.  It feels really great and you also get to have a bat.

Maybe if I get to chose a super 15 team it would probably be the Crusaders because they are a good team with a lot of team spirit and they play to the rules without arguing if they don't think thats illegal they just carry on.

Some time in my life if I do get a rugby career like being a Magpie or an All Black player I would like to travel around New Zealand and the rest of the world because you get quite a lot of fans and they always cheer you on.

I would like to be a professional rugby player because you would make very good mates and you get a great atmosphere as all players do.

Yes I would because it would be really cool representing my country in a game of rugby. My family will be very proud as they always are and it would be really cool.

Alaska!

This report will explain why you should go to Alaska for your holiday and instead of New Zealand because Alaska has more amazing things. I am going to try and persuade you by the history, animals and scenery.

Alaska was found on 15th of July by Aleksa Chirikov. On March 30th. In 1876 the U.S purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire for 7.2 Million! dollars.

The Alaska flag was made by a 13 year old boy named Benny Benson and it is blue with 8 stars. Alaska can go below -78 degrees.

Alaska state song!  Here is a link to Alaska's state song. Heres the link.

The king Salmon has been the state fish of Alaska since 1955 and is 1000 years old which is pretty long. Willow ptarmigan has been the state bird of Alaska since 1955. Sometimes it changes light brown to a light snowy white at certain times of the year.  Kodiak Bear way 1,400 and are 11 feet tall. Polar Bear way 1,400 pounds and are 12 feet tall. Grizzly Bears, (Brown bears) weigh 1,800 pounds and are 11 feet tall. Mosse way 1,350 are 11 feet tall and their antlers are 72 inches high.

There are over 130 volcanoes in Alaska and 80 percent of them can erupt any time. Alaska is one of the biggest states in America.  I think you should go to Alaska because you can see all of the Amazing animals like the Moose bears Willow ptarmigan and more like the lovely view. Alaska is 134 years old.

I think you should go to Alaska because of all the amazing views and sites it has also got thing their that no one has found.
