I woke up wondering where I was then I remembered, I was at my Grandma and Grandpa's house, that was the start of the holiday at the farm (yes my Grandma and Grandpa live on a farm). I was the first up (as usual)so I played Rummyo, here are some of the rules:
you have to try and lose all your cards before the other person/people
you can not pick up and put down in the same turn.
Two days later my cousins Zakh, Ben, Mae and Jean arrived and we watched my favorite movie:Star Wars the Clone Wars we watched these episodes: Libitry on Ryloth and Mystery of a Thousand Moons. The next day farmer Ein(one of my grandpas friends) brought Stanley(a horse) and we went on rides in this order:
Ben, Mae, Zakh, Cam, Jean then me. I really liked my holiday

My passion protect is about science. These are my links.
physics This one is about density. The materials you need are salt (you will need a lot of salt), water, bowls/glasses and eggs. Watch the video to find out the steps and the science behind it.
baking soda vs vinegar This one is a great chemical reaction. The materials you need are baking soda, a bowl/glass and vinegar. Watch the video to find out the steps. Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate and when you add the vinegar it releases the gas called carbon dioxide and that creates the bubbling affect.
I chose to do science as my passion project because at the start of the project I only knew a few science experiments and I really like science. I did intend to do more but I did not like them that much. My favorite is the baking soda experiment.This is my reflection.

Once upon a time a person called Nowon lived in Wonkyland. He had never been to Wonkyland. He was excited.
The first thing he did was go on the trampoline . He jumped on to fresh air? "Be careful, do not stand on the clouds you might land on the sky scraper up there" said a little man pointing up. Nowan looked up and saw an upside down sky scraper. He was so shocked he ran into an elevator and got teleported to his house. "This is weird "said Nowon.
We have been doing a technology project. My idea is to improve the predator proof fence. We first had to come up with a main question. Mine was what native animals reproduce native plants in New Zealand? Then we had to research our question. Then we had to display on a slideshow or a poster. I chose a poster. Then we had to make a small model. I used a cardboard box to make my model but I did not finish mine. I was in the save group.
This week as homework we had to write a story. This is my story. It is a Minecraft story.
Aah! why did I go on this mining trip oh that is right, to get diamond and red stone. So how did this happen you ask after the scary night I opened my inventory, put on a full set of iron armor and put an enchanted diamond pickax in my hot bar as well as all the food in the village then set off to the mine. Still no sign of even single piece of red stone but I saw allot of iron ore eventually I fond on uncross-able and gigantic body of lava so I went back out of the mine and I saw two creepers and one exploded in my face and before the other exploded a skeleton wearing a pumpkin on it's face shot me with a bow and arrow and I died. When I re-spawned I almost fell into lava again.
If you want to see more of the posts I created I will be doing one almost every week
