Electronics 2017 Tech

In Electronics we had to make an emergency light for our survival kit. We had 8 LED lights to make it bright so we can see if the power goes out. We each got to choose a Disney Character to put on the front of our light. Her is my fianl presentation.

Ovenless Awesomeness.Rocky-Road,25 August 2017.

In Ovenless awesomeness this week, we made Rocky road.
I worked with Grace, and together we melted chocolate, butter and golden syrup,
Cut marshmallows really small, crushed up biscuits and put all the ingredients together.
Then we had to put it in the fridge to chill for a while.

Here is the finished result!

HMT. USB, 13A. 2017

In Hard Materials Tech we had to make USB covers, I made a USB to cover a USB. The Stakeholder for my USB is My Dad. Here is the photo of my plastic USB. We also had to fill out a google drawing to show the process and the making of the USB here is the link to mine. This process also included making a Key Tag, a wood model of the USB's and finally making the real plastic version.

"The Get Ready Get Thru" website tells us that we need a portable torch in our survival kit.  I am going to design an emergency light/torch and batteries that is portable for my survival kit. The Website also says we need a liter of water per each person in the family, for at least 3 days.   My family will need   36 liters of water to last us 3 days.

In Hard materials we had to make USB stick covers. First we had to make a 2D design on the computer, then we had to get it printed on wood then fit all the pieces together to see if it works.
 Here is my wood model!

I am me writing 2017 room 13

I am..

I am a human, standing on earth with all others

I wonder, why here? Why not on another planet?

I see clouds in the sky,moving slowly like a snail   

I want to be something special in the world

I am Holly Evans

I pretend to a the president, fixing problems and stopping fights

I feel my family's arms around me

I touch the sky in my dreams and sometimes I belive I can fly

I worry about what will happen next, will I be safe or not?

I am a dreamer, a believer

I understand I am only one in twenty billion people here on earth but everyone has a purpose even me

I say go for it, do whatever you want to do, don’t give up

I dream that I’m a horse running wild and free

I try to have as much fun as possible, wherever I am

I hope I can make a difference in the world, not just being a child dreaming about being president,

I am Me.

My writing comp Beyond the backyard 2017

 

In class I have been working on a writing competition called beyond the backyard. Here is mine.

What is out there? Now I know                              

A shadow glides over the chipped stained glass window. Looking outside I hear my Mum shouting ‘from her bedroom, “ Holly don’t forget to pick those feijoas.”

Letting out a big sigh I put on my dressing gown, and head toward the door. As I take a step, I hear a creak in the floorboards. I slowly turn the handle as the wind blows cold in my face. The cold morning air makes me shiver and the sopping wet grass makes my socks drip from the night's rain. Moving slowly, I make my way to the feijoa tree. I quicken my pace, who knew how many griffins could be in the trees.

The breeze sways the fruit trees, making it hard to pick the feijoas. I still manage. “ That’s enough,” I say to myself, while I’m tying up the bag.

“Roar kakor,” I look around,

“ Who said that? Come out, I’m not afraid of you!” It was the big, scary, hungry griffins from beyond the backyard. Like lions they get as high as they can getting ready to attack. I feel like i’m in a horror movie, it was just me and the griffins.... They attack. Moving as a pack they try to rip me to shreds. I put up a good fight until I just black out. The pounding in my head got worse and worse. Until, I wake up. I check myself for any major injuries, nothing, phew!

The sun rose higher and higher in the sky and I look back to the forbidden territory. I think it’s the place where the griffins live. But it is beyond the backyard…  Mum always says it is dangerous beyond the fence.  A chill creeps up my spine. If I went out there I would be killed. The griffins would show me no mercy.  They hate humans, and that's why they attack, and why Mum never lets me go beyond the backyard. The thought of a war starting between griffins and humans would get my heart beating extra fast, boom boom boom boom no pause.

Then it is silent.  The clouds covering the golden sun. It all falls to darkness. “Roar kakor,”  

“Oh no the griffins. They only come out when it’s dark, why are they out now? I have to get back to the house, fast. Before the griffins get to me.” I run. The disgusting sound of wet mud follows me back to the house. I turn the handle and open the door. The griffins are right behind me. The door won't open, they are about to get me until…

I wake up. Safe and sound I am lying in bed with my night gown on. I get up brush my teeth and get ready for school. Sitting down by the chipped stained glass window, I relax.  While I am looking outside, I hear my Mum shouting ‘from her bedroom, “ Holly don’t forget to pick those feijoas.”

I am Holly Evans

 I am a flaming red convertible ready to lift the roof and feel the road under my wheels,
I am a church tower ready to hear the beautiful song of my bells,
I am a carefully stitched jean jacket sharp and clean.
