Friends

What good Friendship means? To me good friendship means to help one another, being there when they are feeling down. Friendship has a lot of Good meaning in it. Your Friend Ship could make you really happy and you can cry together  laugh and make them feel welcomed.

How to be a Good Friend?  Being a Good Friend is making them laugh letting them know that they are not a mistake. Telling them that you are always their for them. If they are crying or someone passed away be a true friend to be their for them. Doing a good effort by being wonderful and using your kind words. Don’t back stab your friends or you will have no friendship.

Why you need to be a Good Friend? Being a good friend is good but not being a good friend is bad. Because once if you lost your friendship you would be lonely. You would sometimes not laugh you might always cry because you lost your own friendship by backstabbing them. They also can back stab you back and mock you.

When your friend Needs You? If your friend needs you can tell when something is wrong with them if their crying not talking. You could make them laugh but if they still don't you could ask if they want to talk about it. You could walk them home if they are scared someone might mock her or him.

What this world would be like if their were no good friends? If we didn't have good friends in this world. Their would be a lack of communicating. There be people killing them self they might always fight argue at each other.  Feeling like they are a mistake and thinking why is there no good friendship in this world.
Conclusion: How I would treat my friends? It is Great to have a True friendship with people. I would treat my friends like they are my sisters or brothers I  would be their if they are alone. Being there when they need me to be there. Knowing that they are okay at times. If my friend wanted to run away because their mum or dad kept fighting I would also ran away with them To Be Honest.

Rips Information

New Zealand has the highest drowning rates so its important that people know how to keep safe. If you are in a Rip the first thing is to do is never try to swim back because you will get tired of the water pushing you further away. So never swim alone because if something  drowns or panic you can get dragged under that Rip.Life guards has put 2 flags out so stay between the flags because its safe.If you are caught in the rip don’t panic because most people drown and even die from panicking in the rip its important to don’t panic.

Do you know how a rips for?
Rip is like a stream full of water that pushes water out and away from the shore. So if the rip pushes you away and you're trying to get back to shore put your one hand up and try to stand up. Then wait for the lifeguards to come and get you. Rips are hard to get out of so you should know rules when you are in a rip.
How do you identify a rip?
When you are getting drifted away and you’re trying to swim back to shore that's when you know you’re in a rip.  When water are hitting the shore and on the same time water drifting away that's when you know its a rip. Rips are unsafe to be around so its important you swim near the shore and away from rips.


What to do when you are caught in a rip?
When you are caught in a rip don’t try to swim back just wait until someone grabs you. Don’t panic because you might drown and die from rips. If you are caught just wait until the waves finally stop and then you can swim back. Always swim when their adults close to you so they can pull you in.

Empathy Explanation

Imagine a world without empathy. It would be a world with a lack of communication, it would be a crazy world. Empathy means standing in other people’s shoes. Empathy is sometimes hard  especially if someone has hurt your feelings and you just want to be unkind back. But it’s important to understand other people’s feelings and their emotional and is important to have a peaceful world.

You can show empathy in many ways, which is being respectful to one another understanding what they have been through. Show your good ways to them be kind. You can show empathy by doing kind  actions with your hands. Listening can be a way that you can show empathy.

If you don’t show empathy their energy will start going down. There can also be violent people always crying. Its important to show empathy so they don’t always feel like they are a nobody and its not good to keep on mocking them.
Conclusion: I can Imagine a world without happiness. It would also be no ability to feel their roots and even feel connected to each other. Think about if we had no bullies at school and anywhere else it would be a better world.  We do need empathy we don't need bad stuff to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already we have the power imagine better.

Think about if we could have empathy all the time there wouldn’t be any fighting, crying and  arguing. Wouldn't it be great to have people saying good stuff all the time about you? Instead of them saying all mean stuff to you and other people.

Empathy is a word that people hardly hear these days. But do you know the meaning of the true empathy. For example the true empathy is making sure that they feel welcome and that they can be happy.

Ki-o-Rahi

Ki-o-rahi is a sport that represents the 7 stars for matariki. It is a legend or Rahi and the Patupaiarehe. The ball is called Ki also the sport is played in New Zealand . Ki-o-rahi has different kind or spots mixed together like netball touch tag and rippa. For Ki-o-rahi You can tackle but to other people it is just a beginning game so it would be better to wear tags instead.

There are only 7 players on side in Ki-o-Rahi. Ki-o-rahi is mainly played in france and New Zealand.There are  2 teams and one team is called Kioma and the other is called Taniwha. The kioma team scores by running along the Te Ara and scoring into the pawiro.

Ki-o-rahi is like a rugby game but you can throw the ball in front of you. It is a good sport to play with your family if your family has an outing. I really enjoy the game Ki-o-rahi because it is really fun and funny watching people slip if it’s muddy. I hope you and your family play Ki-o-rahi and see what it feels like playing.

Guitar Explanation

 If You play a guitar when it will vibrate from the strings to the nearest object around it and back. Then it would go to your eardrum and go forward and backward. Also when you make a noise it will make sound waves in the air which you can't really see. If you play a low chord it will be a low pith but if you play a high pitch. So if you play a guitar it could ply high and low pitch which head to your ear molecules.

Sound Explanation

If we had no sound in the world then we wouldn’t be able to listen to amazing music that people have made. I wouldn't be able to live if there was no music because my life would be less FUN. But how does sound work ?

Sound can be made by the vibrating of the object.Sound vibrates the air molecules which vibrates your ear drum that converts to electrical signals. The sound goes through your ears hits straight to your brain. Sound can be made by the vibrating of the object. For example as you hit the drum with drumsticks the sound of that object will reflex the skin of the drums which vibrates up and down.

Sound is also different because they have different beats to each other and they also sound different. Some sound have high and low pitch sound and if the high pitch is high then it vibrates fast but if it is low it take it times.

How to make a Guitar and a Fault


Scissors  
Rubber bands
Cardboard box

Step 1: You have to cut a hole in the middle of a square box.
Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:30:43.png
Step 2: Then you put about 5-6 holes on to each side so it looks like thisScreenshot from 2014-06-03 14:44:00.png
Step 3:Then paint the body of the guitar I desired.This is easiest to do before you’ve strung it, as paint will change the sound and elasticity of the rubber bands.
Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:45:53.png

Step 4:Place the knotted dowel into the body of the guitar and feed the rubber bands up through the string holes. The dowel will hold the rubber bands securely in place.

Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:49:11.png




Step 5:Stretch each string across the central guitar hole and into the corresponding string hole on the other side.
Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:51:20.png

Step 6:Place another dowel inside the body of the guitar and tie the loose string ends to it. Do this one string at a time for maximum accessibility. Be sure to make each string slightly looser than you would ideally like, as you will be tightening them later. If desired, make each string a different length to achieve different notes.
Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:53:34.png

Step 7:Glue the last two dowels to the front of either side of the central guitar hole beneath the strings. Place the first dowel underneath the middle of the strings, slide it to one end, and glue it in place to lift that end of the strings; repeat on the other side. When you’re done, the strings will not only be lifted off the face of the guitar, but also have a tighter sound.
Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:55:54.png
Step 8:Find a long piece of material that will readily attach to the body of the guitar.For example, this may be a piece of wood, length of PVC pipe, or cardboard tube, depending on how sturdy you’d like the end result to be.
  • To make cardboard tubing more solid, use several tubes. Slice all but one of them down the middle lengthwise, insert them inside one another, and glue them together.
  • If using PVC pipe, try to find some with a threaded end. This will make it easier to attach to the body of the guitar (see Step 4).
  • Screenshot from 2014-06-09 14:58:00.png

Step 9: Paint the neck if desired. Note that if the neck is a different material than the body, the painted result might not match (even if you use the same paint).
Screenshot from 2014-06-10 10:42:23.png



Step 10:Cut a neck hole in the body of the guitar if necessary.
Screenshot from 2014-06-11 10:33:23.pngScreenshot from 2014-06-11 10:34:00.png



Step 11:Attach the neck to the body of the guitar. The simplest way to do this is with a strong glue. If using PVC pipe, first screw a PVC ring onto the threaded end, then stick the threaded end through the hole you cut in Step 3, and then tightly screw another ring (or cap) onto the pipe, trapping the top wall of the guitar body between the two rings. Note that this will only work if the body of the guitar is a sturdy material and the hole is very snug.



Step 12: Now you're done, go give your new guitar some strumming!

Equipment:
Scissors  
Straw
Pliers
Step 1:You will Need to flatten The ends of the straws with the pliers.
Screen Shot 2014-06-24 at 10.34.18 am.png

Step 2: After you have done that you will need to cut the flatten bits like it shows in the picture.
Screen Shot 2014-06-24 at 10.36.40 am.png

Step 3:If you wanna Plays songs you could Cut some more holes in the straw. And Start Playing it .

Every Wednesday Class 4 goes out to AFL which mean’s Australian Football League. We leave Class at 9:40 to get started with our sport. Our Coach is Tim, first we played Rats and Rabbits for the warm up. Whenever Tim says Rat the Rabbits chase after the Rat.

After the game we played another game which was called the Ruck. When we started the game Me and Dhara standard side by side Sisilia throw the ball powerfully. Dhara win that one because she jumped powerful.

While I  was running around I started to get sweaty. We played another game but I forgot what it was called. It was easy to chase the people in the other team but then it got hard. Our Team tried to be careful with the ball but I kept on throwing it somewhere else.

We had finished our Practice so the next day we played with Class 3. We went behind the line and when Miss Tito blown the whistle and we run to go get it. We never worked as a Team as Miss Tito said. She was saying it while we were throwing the balls.

I got out so I went to set on the chair if someone caught the ball they will get out and then I could go back on. We lost the game and we played some more games just for fun the other one was for to see who wins.
