I think dogs are better than cats because they are more playful than cats, will cuddle you, and dogs also respond when you call them, unlike cats who just ignore you. Also, dogs save lives.

One of my favorite things about a dog is hoe playful they are. Dogs love to have fun ie: casing balls, fetching sticks, and they also love car rides. Unlike lazy cats who hate all contact with humans and just sleep all day.

Dogs can also save lives because of their senses being way more sensitive than mine and yours, studies have shown that dogs can sense little changes in your body letting them know when you are sick. Also police dogs, fire dogs, and search and rescue dogs save millions of lives yearly. Your own dog could even protect you from a home intruder.

In conclusion, dogs are better than cats because they are more playful, give you attention, cuddle you and maybe even save lives


I am aiming to improve my writing in the following 3 areas: spelling, sentence structure, and Vocabulary. I will use words I know to improve my spelling. I will focus on my paragraph writing for better sentence structure.

Next time I will slow down my writing, focus more, and plan ahead of time.

Easy Planing

1. What is the relationship in the book( 2 or more people)?
2. How did this help us understand someone in the book?
3. What are your 3 body paragraphs?

Egyptian Pyramids

How and Why were Egyptian Pyramids built?



Why were the Egyptian Pyramids Built?
The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens so they could travel safely to the afterlife with all the things they would need gold, food, blankets and even pets. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and size most pyramids were built the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdon.


The techniques used to build the Giza pyramids were developed over a period of centuries, though they didn’t have the wheel as we think of it today, they might have made use of cylindrical tree trunks laid side to side along the ground. If they lifted their blocks onto those tree trunks, they could effectively roll them across the desert, but it is hard to believe it would work with the massive stones maybe they used this method to move the smaller limestone. There is no drawings or recording of how they moved the blocks of stone. I think the main challenge they would have faced was lifting the blocks up to the top. Ancient Greek historians born after the pyramids’ construction believed the Egyptians built ramps like scaffolding along the side.

Wind Powered Car School Project

Aim: To make the fastest wind power land boat and WIN!!!

Equipment List: 

- 1 meter paper roll

- 2 meter tape

- Cardboard square

-Metal Rod

- Frame/Trolly

Method: Use the given frame/trolly and attach a normal shaped sail to the metal rod using the tape to tie it down, we will use a high-level leaf blower aiming it at the centre of the sail to push it the full ten meters.

Results:
We had a time of 14.7secs with a distance of 16.3, making a velocity of 1.14

Conclusion:
In conclusion, I notice that the bigger the sail the more wind it caught, in theory creating more speed increasing the distance. I think that if I had centred my sail and made it bigger I could have increased my distance to at least 20 meters.

  I think the weather had a big part of my land boat did so well.

Essay Planning

The incident of when Zelie found Amari in Lagos and helped her

 escape helped me to understand the idea of the importance
between friends and family because it shows me that even if you don't know someone helping them is the right thing to do because it might really help them in the future. We can link this to the text when the admiral plunges her sword through Lekan's heart. Lekan saves Zelie from falling putting his life in danger.

1. What is going the be my key event? My key event is when Zeile turned into a maji.
2. Who is going to be my important character? My important character is going to be Zeile  
3. What are 3 character changes as a result of this event 

• 1: When she first gained her magic back she felt a strange sensation buzzing beneath her skin, it filled a hole she did know was there.
• 2: Overtime her few white hairs turned into a full head of white hair   
• 3: She went from only using blood magic to growing stronger and using her own magic.

Caveman drawing

1. What is it? It is a pic of me and the bros
2. Why is it important to me? It is important to me because I value friendship very highly

Chapter 79 – Zélie
Inan’s amber eyes trap me in the truth of his betrayal, but it isn’t the gaze I
know. He’s a stranger. A soldier. The shell of the little prince.

I can fell Zelie building her walls back towards Inan. She sees a different person to the one she met at the maji camp, she sees a man without a soul, a soldier. Just a shell of the man she once knew.

Note: It is interesting to think about how Zélie became an empty “shell” after Saran
tortured her. After talking with Saran, Inan became a shell, also.
Thinking back to when Inan said they had no choice but to kill the maji.
Zélie said, “There’s always a choice.”

What problems did our early ancestors face and what technology did they develop to solve them

What problems did our early ancestors face and what technology did they develop to solve them?

Our ancestors did not have power or water running out of taps or tools to help them with daily task.
How did they solve these problems? As our ancestor's brains started to develop more and more, they started using stone tools for hunting and building shelter, They did not have heat pumps to heat their homes up they used fire to keep them self warm during the winter. Also, they faced the problem of growing food, they spent years breeding crop to make them stronger.
We have an easy life.
We have supermarkets and power for heat. 

Chapter 74 – Inan

Chapter 74 – Inan
Note: This time you have not been provided with a quote from the story. This is an
explanation.
King Saran firmly believes in duty over self. Peace between maji and kosidán
failed in the past, so he does not want to try again.
Inan believes he must make a similar choice between his country and his
heart. He makes the same choice as his father, even though the majacite
sword blisters his own skin (this is symbolism). Inan gives up everything to be
everything his Father wants.

I think that you should do what feels right to you, just because you have been told your whole life that you will be king one day does not you mean you have to listen.

Are cellphones a drug

Are students addicted to their, If so, is that a problem?

I think students are not addicted to their cellphones but the apps they have on them e.x. snap chat,
Facebook or Instagram. People say that kids now days are anti-social but really the most of the time we
are chatting with our friends via social media. Some kids may feel the need to be on their cell phones all
the time, but it is not an addiction they are most likely chatting with friends. In this age smartphones are
our main source of communication and without out them we would not be able to achieve many things
like travelling or call family

Chapter 66-Inan

Chapter 66-Inan

This me realise how much damage losing your family can really do, years after the burners killed his family, his hate still grows. He can't see the positive things due to his past.

Chapter 63- Zelie

Chapter 63 - Zélie
“You know what intrigues me about your kind? You always start in the middle
of the story. As if my father didn’t fight for your rights. As if you maggots didn’t
burn my family alive.”
“You can’t enslave an entire people for the rebellion of a few.”
Saran bares his teeth. “You can do whatever you want when you’re the king.”

When Zeli was young the king acted in rage and vengeance getting lost in the power that came with being king. He acted when his head was not in the right place and now is facing the rage of the maji who want to bring back magic to orisha.
