Indentifying Variables
Identifying Variables
A science experiment has three kinds of variables.
• Independent variable – The factor that changes in an experiment
• Dependent variable – What is being measured in an experiment
• Control variable – The factor that remains constant in an experiment
Identify the three variables in the following scenarios
Two groups of fifth graders were tested to compare their speed solving long
division problems. One group had calculators, the other didn’t.

Pets Report
Pets Writing
Intro: If you have always wanted to have a pet, some of these tips will tell you to look after it properly.
Paragraph 1: Feeding.
Pets need food to live. Pets need to eat so that they can stay healthy. If pets eat, they would be able to gain the protein they need. Feeding pets is a big part it owning them. If you feed pets the wrong type of food, they could get sick so you want to find the right food for them. For example, Dogs and cats should eat biscuits and meat. Pets should be feed 2, or 3 times a day. Pets can live up to 3 weeks without food but you shouldn’t try that. Some pets can pass away from starvation earlier. One thing you should be careful with dogs is chocolate. Milk chocolate can make them sick and lots can sometimes make them die, but dark chocolate just kills them. Food with caffeine is bad for animals. This is because dark chocolate has more caffeine in it. If you have a baby pet, you want to make sure you give them smaller bits than adult pets because they can choke on the bigger bits. Once you buy the animal, a cat and a dog would need bowls to be fed in them. You could also get treats to train your pets to do awesome tricks.
Paragraph 2: Giving Attention.
You should give pets the right amount of attention they need. Pets need attention to be able to trust you. If they don’t trust you, they could run away. They should also get attention so that they know that they are always loved by you. They should always be happy, so giving them the right attention should boost their mood up. If you come home from a long day, they would be excited to see you so it’s good to give them enough attention. The most common places to pat a dog would be stomach rubs, head scratches and a nice stroke down the back, the tail and legs aren’t really a good idea. Cat’s would like scratches behind the ears and strokes down the back, the stomach rubs sometimes work but some cats would bite you. Pets love attention so why not give them some?
Paragraph 3: Exercising Them.
Pets need to exercise to stay healthy. You can exercise you pet by walking it, walking it enough could make your pet strong and healthy. Not exercising your pet could lead to them being weak. If you exercise your pet, they can use up all their energy outside and be happy. Dogs would love to run outside so it would be good to let them run around for a little bit. Some pet’s can be like humans, exercising them can gives them stronger muscles. Cats don’t really like walking but some cats walk with a harness around their chest. Dogs just walk with it attached to their collar. As your pet grown you would need to adjust the collar to make sure they don’t choke. Sometimes people get harnesses for their dogs so that the lead just attaches to the back of their harness. They get the harness because if they attach the lead to the collar if you tug it it could tug on their neck and hurt them. Once you get the pet you have to make sure you have the right equipment. For example a cat and a dog would need a collar and a dog would need a lead as well. You should also let the pet get used to the area so they know where home is. Like I said in paragraph one, the treats can be used to train your pet. Some of the things you can train them to do is, beg, speak, roll over, sit, lay down jump and a lot more cool things.
Conclusion: those were some tips on how to look after a pet. Make sure you look after your pet well.
Watching My Variety Show Act
Watching My Variety Show Act
Purpose: To entertain the reader about me watching my variety show act.
Characters: Anna, Brianna Jessica, Sophie, Shyla, Me, And Willow.
Setting: Auditorium.
Feels like: The seats shaking from the loud music.
Sounds like: The big booming music.
Looks like: We are having fun, We are doing cool tricks, We are doing different things, We are working hard, We are in time to the music,
I sat down at my seat ready to watch the show. Act after act i finally see the dance battle group. The gymnastics group comes on the stage and performs. At the start they do some stretching and then they go into some funny dances. Almost at the end they hold hands and do a worm in their arms. \At the very end they do a pyramid. I was worried that they were going to fall! The whole dance was awesome so I clapped and cheered through the whole performance. I was so happy that I bought tickets to the variety show. I really want to buy tickets for the next one!

Life In The Hub Poem
Life in our awesome new hub is super nice,
We come in here to hide from weather that feels like ice.
We all feel happy coming here almost every day,
Life in the hub is unique in it’s own way.
The hub doesn’t have many wires or cables,
In the hub we have new whiteboard tables.
With the whiteboard table we have a spray,
The carpet colours are orange white and grey.
The colours of the tables and chairs come in grey orange and green,
Some of the chairs are awesome because they can swing and lean.
When we first came here we were excited,
When the teachers first came here they were delighted.
In the hub we have cupboards to put our bags and containers for our drinks and lunch box,
In the hub we are not allowed shoes but we are allowed bare feet and socks.
Life in the hub is awesome!

STORMS
STORMS
Intro: Storms are all around the world
And you never know when one
Will start, so if you see a deadly
Storm coming your way, find
Somewhere safe to stay Until
You get advice ir if it has stopped
And make sure not to go outside
When it is moving.
Para 1: Different Types Of Storms
There are many types of storms in the world and they can be deadly. These are some storms, there are Tornadoes, Cyclones, Sinkholes, Thunderstorms Hailstorms and there are lightning showers. There are many more than just Tornadoes and Cyclones but I can’t name them all. Storms can cause people to go missing or pass away if the storm is really deadly.
Para 2: How A Tornado Starts
It depends on the heat, if it is hot and very windy, a tornado can come your way but it is very unlikely. Next the tornado starts by forming a funnel in the sky and makes a slobe coming to the ground and it will start to suck up things. If it is weak, it will only suck up things like trash cans, little bits of rubbish lying around, bikes, metal lying around, leaves and twigs. If it is strong it will suck up things like cars, car motors, motorbikes and maybe bits of your house.
Para 3: Storm Damage
Storms can cause a lot of damage, some people get sucked up and never seen again. It is very sad when people get hurt or pass away from storms. If they are badly injured from the storm damage, they will most likely go to hospital. Storms cause buildings to fall and break and maybe even fall on people. Some bad storms cause towns to lose their homes and family and buildings can fall on roads so cars can't get to where they need to be.
Para 4: How To Survive A Storm
This is how you survive a big storm, first you should wait for an alert to see if you can leave or if it has stopped or stopped coming your way. You should be careful because storms can kill you if they are deadly. In a deadly storm you should quickly find place to stay and make sure your inside not outside so remember if you see a deadly storm stay inside and stay safe.

Going to Christchurch
Going To Christchurch
On Friday, I was Very excited to go to Christchurch because we were going to see my brother who broke his back, four ribs and he has a hole in both of his lungs. When we hopped off the plane, I felt the cold breezy air touch my face and i was happy to be in Christchurch.
When we hopped into our rental car, i could barely hold in my excitement. We drove to his hospital and opened the big shiny door. We walked into his room and I gave him a big hug. Later we needed to leave and we got some food.
When we got home I jumped into my bed and fell asleep immediately. The next day i had some toast for breakfast and we went back to see him again. When we left, liam's other sister came with us to feed some ducks.
The next day we flew back home to the house.
