Safe Cycling

    Safe Cycling...

How do I stay safe on my bike? I can tell you that in my 4 paragraphs.  The first paragraph will be a description about if you your bike got stolen .  The next paragraph will be what clothing you will need, the 3rd paragraph will be the safety check  and the last paragraph will be the safety rules.           

If your bike ever gets lost you call the police and tell them your bike ID number, the colour and the bike type. To find the ID number you turn the bike over and inline with the seat, where the metal is,  you will find the ID number,   It could be on a sticker or carved into the bike.

If you want to go cycling you have to have good shoes like sneakers and you have to a helmet that is comfortable to wear.  It needs to be tight when you are going cycling so it doesn’t slip off and and gets hooked up in the pedals when you are bike. If you outside on your bike when it is a sunny day you need to put sun block on.

There are 13 places to check on your bike but most important things to

check is the front and back brakes, steering, seat height, tyres pumped up and the gears are work smooth. You can not forget to check your helmet then you will be safe to go on you bike.    

The safety rule are the most important thing in safe cycling. You have to listen to the safety rule so you don’t hurt anyone or you hurt yourself. The safety rules should all be easy to remember, One of the rules are to know how to ride on the road and know how to turn with one hand.

I hope you learnt a lot in my 4 paragraph and to be safe on your bike is to do a safety check.

The force

Today for our experiment we found out how the hair dryer could hold up a ping pong ball and I will show you how to do it and what you will need to do this experiment.

What we needed was a hair dryer and a ping pong ball and if you want you can make an obstacle course but we didn't make one.

Once you have a hair dryer and a ping pong ball you must plug the hair dryer. Then you grab the ping pong ball and turn the hair dryer on and put the ping pong ball on top then the ping pong ball will look like it is flying.

Science

           ~science~

What happens if trapped air gets hot?  Well I can tell you that in my four paragraphs.  I will also talk about other things to do with this air science and how to do it and what you will need to do it

If you want to try this experiment out then you will need 2x bottles, 2x balloons and you will need two contains one with cold water and one with hot water.  Once you have all the stuff you put one of the balloons on the top of the bottle then do it to the other bottle.  Next you grab the hot and cold water and put one bottle in the cold water and one in the hot water and see what happens to the balloons.

When it is in the water it has to be immersed in the water or the experiment will not work also when you put one bottle in hot water you could burn your hand when you are holding the bottle down  so that is why to have some tongs when doing this experiment.

When the bottles are in the water you can see how one of the balloons has expanded and one has not expand. How it expanded? Well the air got heated and that caused the air to move up to the the balloon until it couldn't go up any more.

If you want to try this out then try it out and if trapped air hot it will expand  until it can’t expand any more.

Here is a diagram:

Yachting Reflection

Something I was pleased with...

The thing that I was pleased was that me and my buddy worked together and I was happy how it went, I was scared but I still did it with my buddy and I was pleased with how he cheered me on to do it.

Something that I improved on.....

The thing that I improved with was steering the boat because I haven’t done it before and also doing the mane sheet rope because it was confusing to do and I improved in all of those things.

Something that made me think...   

The thing that I had to think the most was doing the centreboard because it was hard and confusing and I have not done it before in my life.

Something that I thought was scary.....

The scary thing was when I went for my first time and the boat was tipping and I was freaking out. I asked if we could go back to shore and he said, “aaa yeah!” but now I’m not scared at all.   

The thing I could've done better.......

The thing that I could get better at is doing the mane sheet rope because Kharn didn’t tell me how to use the main sheet rope.  Now I know how to use it and  now I know next time.

Sailing story

                         Sailing

My family and I  went off for a sailing adventure for the holidays. We were in Wellington but then we sailed to Christchurch. I wondered how long that is.  I sailed for about three hours and I ended up in a strong current and it blew me to Dunedin.  That took two and a half hours and after all that I ended up spewing in the water before I got to land. It looks like we have to stay here because of that catastrophe.   Well theres some cool places to go with my family.  We could go and see the whales and thats all I know that is in Dunedin.

It ended up that we stayed in Dunedin for one year till our yacht is finished getting bolt so we could sail back to Hastings.  The bit that  got broken is of the starboard side so that was boring but at least we got back nice this time.  That is the main thing. That was a big catastrophe because I went from Wellington to Dunedin that is long for a little yacht it teaches you to sail safe and make sure you sail where it is not too windy and not small and be confident and sail safe so this doesn't happen to you.

Horse riding

I started to like horses when I was 5 because I want to follow my mum's footsteps. When I was 5, I went to a place where I learn how to ride and my favourite horse that is there is Iven because he is a good learner pony to ride.  I want to keep doing horse riding because I want to go to the horse of the year to compete in their horse shows and I am waiting for  for that day to come.

I love horses because they are fun to ride on and I train on my little pony Carlos.  In the future I hope that my horse riding will take me to a whole new level for me to go to.  Horses are big animals to ride that is why they made hamlets and cross-country vests and also riding boots so when a big horse stands on your foot it will not break your foot you can also wear gumboots and you wear jodhpurs. Horses wear saddles and bridles.

A horses life cycle goes like this: newborn foal next a yearling female-filly male-colt then an adult horse female-mare male-colt. The stuff that you mainly use on horses is a carry comb, body brush, hoof pick, water brush and the hose to wash the pony when you are using the hose you have to be gentle so you horse doesn’t get a fright and take off and also you have to tie your horse up tight so that doesn’t happen.
