iPod o'clock.

Ring, ring, ring! “iPod o’clock,” I said to myself, walking down the hallway,  peeking through a gap in Mum's and Dad’s door. Of course they weren't in there. They were downstairs numbing their brains on TV (and they told me it was bad to watch too much!). It was my 4 year old sister Olivia I was concerned about. Her mouth may look little but immensely loud words come out. Luckily she was asleep. I snuck past her, opening the cupboard I had stashed my iPod in. Sprinting back to my bedroom, I made sure everyone else was asleep.

Finally I would be able to play on my iPod without interruption. That is, unless mum or dad decided to come up to check on me. That’s why you need to be prepared people, like I am whenever I do this sort of thing! I'm always listening for creaks on the stairs because that means dad or mum are coming, so if you're thinking of fixing your stairs for that sort of reason, I would recommend you don’t!

So back to the iPod, after winning the first match on Clash Royale I heard a creak in the stairs. Off course that meant to chuck my iPod somewhere but just as it was flying through the air, dad walked in.  Luckily the light was of and the case on the iPod was black so he couldn't see it. But he might be able to hear it thudding on the ground so just as it hit the ground I said “Hi dad,” in hopefully an innocent voice.  Dad walked off with a puzzled expression on his face. Now I had to go get my iPod.

After I did 5or6 battles (winning them all) it was about 10:00pm, the normal time I go to bed. I put my iPod in a place I'll remember for tomorrow night.


Reflection
I reckon this writing is multi-structural because i gave my punctuation a good go and I may or may not have got it correct.
I also didn't use any from my bright sparks, so my goal for next time is to use at least on word from it.

Science experiment .

Week 1: Starting to think about science: Gathering and Interpreting Data.
Today I rated myself at multi-structural for making slime and then tipping it on Mr Anderson because I was thinking about the slime and I reckon the slime was sticky, messy and cold.


Week 2: Balloon Rocket experiment
Jonty and I got put in a group to do an rocket balloon experiment. We failed in many ways: first of all the balloon popped. For seconds the string snapped and third of all the string snapped again.  Then finally we got it set up but then it was pack up time. So we did nothing. ☹️


Week three: balloon rocket experiment
Jonty, Kingston, Brent, Tom and set up all our stuff for another week of the balloon rocket experiment but this time. We were using fishing wire and we put a piece of paper on the front of the balloon we recon it span and then went like 2 centimeters.
When we set It up again because the fishing line is see through a biker biked through it and broke it.


Week four: trebuchet
On a Thursday afternoon a few people and I were playing with the trebuchet. For the first test we put in six weights and our projectile was a tennis ball. We fired it, after we measured it went 19m. Then we did it again, this time with 8 weights with the same projectile. For some reason it went 16m less than the first one even though we put more weights in hmmmmmmm. So we did that a few more
times our highest meters was 30 with 12 weights. But when we changed the object  it wasn't working and we ended up doing two misfires, I think that was because we didn't use enough weight so there wasn't enough centrifugal force. I reckon my over all reflection in collecting data was multi-structural because I collected lots of information and it may or may not been correct.
