This week for literacy we learnt about nursery rhymes, this is all my work from the week. I used Google slides that my teachers had created. I enjoyed it because I hadn’t heard of some of them and I liked learning them. What’s your favorite nursery rhyme? Hope you enjoy!

This week for our create task in literacy we made a whiri rope out of harekeke. I enjoyed weaving the harekeke because it was hard but the end result looked really cool and was surprisingly strong! I think you should try weaving if you get a chance to. By Ted

This week I made a fake magazine as part of cybersmart Maiakalni I liked it because you could make anything this is a link to the magazine cover that I made.

Have you ever seen a football game, and seen a shot swerve and dip? I will explain how it moves like that.

Firstly a football curves because of a phenomenon called the magnus effect,the magnus effect happens when a spinning  object moves through a fluid, a lift force acts on a spinning object and its path might be changed in a way that doesn’t occur when it’s flying straight.

Secondly the air flow makes a spinning ball curve because the spin changes the speed of the air flowing around it. If you kick the side of the ball with the side of your foot it will create a pressure difference which makes it curl.

Lastly if you want to learn how to curve like a pro then you can try swiping the side of the ball with the inside of your foot on the side of the ball. You can also just watch some YouTube videos, but the best advice I could give you is: PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

In conclusion a football curves because of the magnus effect so there you go that is how a football curls.

This is my Diorama of the book Kensuke’s Kingdom we had a group of four to make it, in our group was  Rory, Charlie, Easton and Me. It took around a week to make. We used polymer clay and paint. We used a shoe box for the outside and paper to make the trees. Have you ever made a diorama? If so tell me in the comments
