3 Ways To Communicate

 3 Ways to communicate on earth

1.Telephone / Mobile Phone

So this way of communicating is the fastest way to communicate because if you send a text message to someone it delivers it in about 1 second and it's really fast to type if you spend lots of time texting on your phone. How does a text send? When you send a text it goes to a cellular tower over a pathway called the control channel. Then it goes to a SMS center (short message service center) resends that message to the tower closest to the recipient then it goes to their phone.

2. A radio

Radio transmitters work by supplying a rapidly changing electrical thing to a radio antenna like the ones on specific cars. To create a changing electromagnetic field. The speed at which these currents change controls the speed at which the electromagnetic field around the aerial changes. This is measured in hertz (Hz).

3. Paralinguistics

I don’t know much about this so I got it from the internet. Paralinguistics makes a reference to vocal communication that is different to any language. This includes points such as tone of voice, loudness, inflection, and pitch.

Consider the powerful effect that tone of voice can have on the meaning of a sentence. When said in a strong tone of voice, listeners might interpret approval and passion. The same words said in a hesitant tone of voice might convey disapproval and a lack of interest.

Why can't people hear you scream in space?

Sound is a mechanical wave, which means that it needs substance to travel through, such as air or water. In space, there is no air, so sound has nothing to travel through. If someone were to scream in space, the sound wouldn't even leave their mouths.

Gold Rush Part 2

Gold Rush 

Hello and welcome to my blog

Here is my work that I have done so far 

Here are my facts about the Chinese people that came to mine in new Zealand

And here is my story writing

Thank you for reading my blog post and I will talk to you on my next post bye.

Gold Rush

What Do You Know About Gold Mining?

I know that it is when you go to rivers and collect the dirt,rocks and other stuff on the bottom of the water take a gold sift and sift it through to collect the gold in the bottom of the sift. One you collect the gold it will be small flakes in the bottom of the gold sift. 

I Don't Know What Discrimination Means .

My Holiday

 My Holiday.

My holiday was quite boring because me and my mum had to drop my dad off to Southern Cross to have surgery to get a cyst removed from his hip bone. Then me,my mum and my brother went to an escape room called the dark wizard at Escape Artists it was quite fun to do but it took us 1 hour and 6 minutes to get out of the room. Later on me,my mum,my brother and my brothers girlfriend went out for dinner at Joe's Garage. When we got home I stayed by myself because I didn't want to go see my dad in recovery or go to the beach at like 9:30 pm. The next day we picked up my dad from Southern Cross and when he got home I had to help him out with doing things around the house that he can't do at the moment.

Thank you for reading my blog post.

Bye.

 Market Day

On Wednesday the 23 of September we hosted a market day. This was a fun thing to host. We hat to host our own stalls where me sold our own products that we made. We got to choose our   own group and my groups name was recycled growers and my group was very annoying because there was a lazy person in the group my role in the group was the production manager. Our product was a water bottle cut in half with a seed,soil and water to grow the plant (the flower we used were sweat pea flowers)

I liked walking around the market day and seeing all the stalls that people have set up.

If I had to change anything about my group or product I would change 1 person in my group and I would change my product

It cost $19.50 to make our product and we had to borrow $20 in total.

My group made $33.50 in total on market day.

Our total profit was $14.50 because of the price of our products.

This was not was I expected because the children didn't buy the product only the parents brought them.

Silent Slaughter

 

So in hurumanu 4 we have been writing stories about heroes and villains story. This is my story and my drawings. I'm proud of my story.

Silent Slaughter

No one knows Dave the tall muscular 38 year old man with gray haired guy,wearing all black clothing with a cops belt with a gun in the holster that he stole from a dead cop. He looks out his camper van window at 9:35pm. He goes for his nightly walk. His walk isn’t normal; he walks with his back pushed in and his arms swinging around crazily.

One dark, cold and windy night people were slumming around the extremely blazing hot campfire. Dave snuck up behind one of the five people and pushed them into a blazing hot fire and burnt them to a crisp without no one noticing Dave pushed that innocent person into the blazing hot fire.

       

Then he was silent, not even a trace of Dave has been found. One month later he starts to kill innocent people again. He starts to kidnap and murder people sneakily and silently. Some people heard screaming from somewhere. The cops came and tried to get in his trailer but it was locked (Dave wasn't in the trailer) The cops couldn’t find him.

Dave tries to push another person into the campfire but gets caught. The innocent person calls the police and gets them to come as soon as they can. Dave starts to run and hide. When the police arrive they search the entire trailer park and then Nigel finds Dave in the most random place under someone's trailer. Dave refuses to get arrested but Nigel takes Dave to the cop car. Dave gets sentenced to prison for 25 years.

 Why Do Cats Stretch So Much?

Why do cats stretch so much? There are plenty of reasons. For one thing, stretching is one of the many ways cats communicate Since cats can’t talk to us, they use body language to communicate instead. 

Have you ever seen a cat arch her back? That means she’s feeling scared. Has a cat ever rubbed his head against you?He was showing affection! When cats stretch, they’re saying they feel comfortable and relaxed. If a cat stretches in front of you, it means you make him feel content.
