Tornado Poem

We have been learning about some natural phenomenons. I learnt about the tornado. Here is my poem I wrote.

I see my Chance
The winds have aligned
It’s my time to show them what I can do.
I’m twirling away growing bigger by the second.
I see no one around except the daredevils I know.
They eye me up looking all around.
They don’t see the real me.
I am a tornado but they look at me as though I’m a gust.
I’m going to prove to them,
I’m not a thrill or a game.
They will regret judging me.
They are only storm chasers.
I am a tornado, they are nothing compared to me.
I run through their town,
destroying everything in my path.
I rip roofs off building and throw trucks apart
.I’m unstoppable.
At least for now.

What is Inertia?

What is Inertia?

Inertia is the first law of motion. Inertia is when an object wants to continue what it is doing. Like when you kick a stone it doesn't stop unless there is something their to stop it (like air resistance, a tree, or rough ground). But it takes force to kick since it doesn't want to move from its current spot.

Advertisement - Shortstreet Land

WALT: Create an Advertisement to advertise a product. 

We created a advertisement for a 'new' season of Shortstreet Land. I think it was a good ad but we had too many people in the group. It was hard to give everyone a job and/or scene it also made it difficult to make decisions since everyone had a different opinion. Our filming was good but in the future I would improve my editing skills. I think we used a lot of persuasive features. I don't think we did that good a job of advertising the product because we were focused on the filming, costumes and props more. Overall it was a lot of fun to make and film but we need to lower the amount of people in the group.

Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

What is a Balanced Force?

Balanced force is when two forces acting on opposite sides of an object are equal in Newtons. It causes an object to stay still or move at a consistent pace.

What is an Unbalanced Force?

An unbalanced force is the opposite of a balanced force. An object with unbalanced force will move at an inconsistent pace. It can also turn.

I felt something cold touch my shoulder and slowly started to turn around… The sight was enough to make me faint. Let alone the sound it was making. A horrific growl like sound escaped the creature's mouth. I don’t know whether it is human or monster. I realise it’s both…

I was walking back from school late one day. I had to stay back longer because I got detention. It was probably about 8pm. I decided to take a shortcut home so I cut through the alley. This was mistake number one.

Mistake number two was worse than number one. There was a light off in the alley. I walked towards the light that was off. I was really confused, I walked this alley most days and all the light glow. I walked towards the only light in the alley that was off. I Then the light flickered. I saw a shadow of something then it was gone. I froze with fear. Then I made mistake number three.

I ran over to where I saw the shadow. Only nothing was there. I begin to shake all over and a chill runs down my spine. I saw something. I know I did. I’m not crazy… I think…

After the dark thoughts left my mind a cold hand drifted past on my shoulder. I slowly turned around, Behind me was a mix of human and monster. It had big read eyes that bulged out of their sockets and a green slime covered its body. It let out a low moan that sounded like a zombie gone wrong. I screamed and ran. I ran and ran and ran.

I have never gone down that alley again. I don’t think I ever will. Since then I have never seen anything like it, sometimes I think it is a dream. But then the image of the zombie like creature returns and I know it’s not… It’s out there somewhere. And I know I will see it again.
