Hospital Recount

Today I have been in the Hospital looking after my sister.I have been staying here for more than 5 hours.It kind of boring,if you stay here for long.But when you get use to it,you will enjoy it (I THINK).I had a very good time and I enjoyed it.

M.O.T.A.T Recount

M.O.T.A.T RecountWe went to MOTAT to learn about Simple Machines and Mechanisms. We first went to the car engine. There was a video playing about how the engine worked. The car engine had gears, cogs and wheels. On the video when the engine worked, the long metal cylinder in the middle spun very, very fast.Then we went to a hall full of different cars and a train that was built to be used in the future. We saw a plane engine placed in front of the train to the right. It was big and we saw gears and cogs again.After that, we had a turn spinning the engine in the big hall of cars. It showed us how it works when a car starts. It also had cogs and gears.During the class lessons, we learnt what gears, cogs, pulleys, levers and wheels do. After that we had twenty minutes to build something which had cogs, pulleys, gears, levers, wheels, wedges, screws and inclined planes. I felt excited trying to build something.Alex and I built a biplane. It was awesome.
There were new exhibits in MOTAT. It was Military Month so MOTAT displayed AA Guns,FV 432 Tanks, Military transport like bikes. It was so fascinating and interesting. The most fascinating for me was the AA Gun because that is the first time in my life seeing a real AA Gun. It was tall and caught my eyes in a SNAP!!.It was an interesting trip because I have learned so much about Simple Machines and Mechanisms. I enjoyed it and I hope I go there again soon with my parents because the time was too short.

Maths Whizz

Today I learned my adding and borrowing from big numbers.If the equation was 23 - 14.First,I do 3 - 4,but I can't minus 4 from 3.I borrow 1 from the 2 and it makes the 3 to 13 and makes the 2 to 1.So I minus 4 from 13 which equals 9 and 1 - 1 = 2 and the answer is 29.I had fun on Maths Whizz today.I hope you use this method on your maths work.
