My Poem

Today I made a poem with a piece of paper that starts off the sentence and then you have to write the rest. It is for a poetry slam.


I am a panther stalking my prey as subtle as the wind

I wonder if i'm being watched spied on in the night

I hear explosions as I run as fast as I can

I want to dash away but I cannot because i'm trapped

I am scared and worried for my life

I pretend to be a robot hovering in space

I feel hot like i'm on a volcano

I worry that i'm going to slip and fall down 100 ft

I cry as my house explodes

I am a dragon breathing molten lava fire out of my mouth

I understand complicated problems

I say mean things in the heat of the situation

I dream of money raining from the sky

I try to hold on as the rocket accelerates into space

I hope to be immortal and to drift across the sky

I am a snake slithering across the dry arid landscape

My plane measuring maths

For Maths today we did some research and measuring on how far the planes flew and what made them fly worse or better.

1.Make an assertion (a thoughtful statement) on a variable that will affect flight distance.
2.Choose a basic design for your paper plane; then modify (change features of) this design to provide a variety of different models, based on your assertion.
3.Collect data by trialling each plane and recording the distance it travels alongside the variable you are testing.
4.Plot data on a graph to establish whether there is a relationship between the variables you are investigating. This can easily be done on Google Sheets. Whaea Rob will show you how to do this.
5.Check your assertion. Was your original idea correct?


The way you fold it is my assertion you have to fold it neatly and symmetrically especially on the folds like the wings and folding the paper at the start so the plane has equal weight on each side so it can fly properly.

For plane 2 I folded it side to side But on plane 1 I folded it from top to bottom and for plane 2 I did the wing fold twice instead of once for like number 1.

Conclusion: My conclusion is that it is better to fold it side to side than from front to bottom It will fly further, straighter, faster and overall better. I have got this information from the research I have done above and the research clearly shows that folding it like plane 2 is best
