Report- Mine Craft

Mine craft, another universe, and a game where people get addicted to building houses, and building another planet.

Mine craft is an addictive game, instead of kids outside and having social games there inside playing on mine craft. People are also grieving other people’s houses, setting them on fire and most of all destroying other student’s property. 

This game involves maths and looking after other people’s property, therefore you do learn something, but I still agree that mine craft isn't a good program.

There is a lot of things you could do on mine craft eg. Building houses, digging underground and a whole lot more, in some cases kids think it is really fun and exciting, but in my case it is boring.

Over all mine craft is a addictive game where people grieve other peoples creations, courses anger and frustration and shouldn't be in a students curriculum.

Procedural Writing

Procedural writing is a type of writing that P4 is learning this year, But to be more precise we are learning directional writing - What makes good Instructional writing ? ...

Detail - 90 degrees left and take a large step forward.
1 instruction per step - step 1, turn around step 2, take 3 steps forward
Appropriate verbs - run, jump, slide.
Descriptive words - big, little.
Consider audience that you are writing instruction to - kids, adults.
precise language -  numbers

P4 went outside and discovered how hard an precise you actually have to be.

Paper plane

Sorry for the view but here is the airplane results. 

Paper plane day :)

On the 9 of May 2013, p4 had a paper plane day, this day had to incorporate the normal day subjects we do at school, E.g. Maths, reading, writing, science. 

For reading/writing we had to do back round research on what makes a paper plane fly. I found out that the paper plane needs to balance out 4 forces in order to make it fly. Those forces are Drag, Gravity, thrust and lift.

• Thrust is what makes the plane go forward (The controllers throw )
• Lift comes when the air below the plane wing is pushing up harder then the air above it is pushing down, the difference in pressure is what enables the plane to fly.
•  Drag, planes have a lot of drag and resistance.
• Gravity, If u keep the weight of the plane to a minimum the gravity of the plane lasts longer.

 What you will need: a4 piece of paper.

Instructions on how to make a plane:

1. Fold the A4 piece of paper in half long ways.
2. open the A4 piece of paper and on one end fold the corners towards the middle where the cress was from step 1.
3. Fold down the point triangle that you have made have made through the middle of your cress line 
4. Fold the corners down similar to what we did in step 2 but leaving a start line about 2 inches long. the corners have to meet in the middle.
5. Where the corners meet in the middle of the paper fold the small triangle up towards the 2 inches long line at the top of the paper.
6. Turn the paper over and fold in half long ways.
7. fold the wing in half and the straiten out again.
8. Fold the second wing and follow step seven.

 Congratulations you have made a paper plane
