Yesterday, the Extension group went to K.P.M.G along with a few other people in team 5. We were lucky enough to have Miss West and Mr Jacobsen come along with us, they made good sure everthing was organised, made sure we were polite, and overall made sure we all had fun. In this writing I'll be sharing one of my highlights from the trip.
My main highlight from the day was doing my experiment. All of us got into groups, our group name was Earth, the other group names were Fire, Air, and Water. Each group was give a experiment to do based around our group names. For our experiment we had to make oobleck, which is basically just cornstarch and water mixed together. Making my oobleck I noticed, if you added pressure to it, it would feel solid, and add less pressure it would become a liquid. It was very fun but also frustarting, mainly because when I would mix the ingredients my sticks would break. But overall it was so fun.
Lastly, thank KMPG for provided a awesome trip for us. And I hope the next few people who come on the trip will have alot in not more fun than we had.

The three basic properties of matter are volume, mass, and shape.
All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
Volume is the amount of Space that matter takes up.
Mass is the amount of Matter an object has.
The three basic properties of matter are volume, mass, and shape.
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume.
Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.
Solids have a definite shape.
An ice and chair are examples of solids.
Water and Milk are examples of Liquids.
Oxygen and helium are examples of gas.
Solid ice is melting when it is changing into a liquid.
This is the task I did this morning. We had to answer questions based around Matter. A fact I learnt during this task is, the three states of matter are liquid, solid, and gas. Enjoy
Colosseum ! A historical landmark in Rome, Italy. The colosseum, is an oval amphitheater, which basically means, the Colosseum, is an open-air location which is used to show performances, sports and other occasions.
Construction began in 72 AD, under the order of Vespian. The Colosseum was constructed by thousands of slaves, and was made with bricks, stones, and concrete. 8 years was the amount of time it took for the slaves to complete the buildings of the Colosseum. Once it was complete it could seat upto 50,000 people. During the 8 years of construction, Vespian had died. Vespian’s son, Emperor Titus, was given the honors of opening up the Colosseum. The Colosseum was the height of a 12 story house, and it’s 156 meters wide.
The Roman Colosseum was used to entertain people with Gladiator battles, animal hunts, and mock naval battles, and Sea battles. The first game, in the newly built Colosseum took up to about 100 days. These games helped keep the Emperor popular with the people of Rome. Loads of animals fought, and were killed, as the crowd cheered, everything to, elephants and tigers, to bears and bulls. Sinners were also executed there. Sometimes villains were used to reenact old myths and stories, where the characters would be attacked by animals. With everything that happened in the Colosseum, gladiator battles attracted everyone. They battle against each other, for the entertainment of the viewers. Elite gladiators could become celebrities drawing huge crowds, and collecting riches, that would grant them to retire in comfort, assuming they’d live a longer life.
Other than the gladiator battles, a more splendid performance was the Mock Sea Battles, which was also called Naumachia. The colosseum was built on a false lake, and underneath it had channels that could transfer water to the Colosseum. They used the water to flood the area floor, until the water was deep enough that real ships could sail on it. Once the sea battles ended, the Colosseum was drained quickly, so that the next event that occurred would take place on dry land. In the Colosseum these sea battles only lasted for a short amount of time.
Remember readers, these are just a few facts I wanted to share with you. Doing my research I found that the Colosseum is still a place where people can visit and learn about that area and what made it such a historic place. Overall I hope from this Information Report, you readers have learnt something new !
Mars! Mars is the fourth planet in our solar system, and also holds the largest mountain, which is 3x larger than Mt Everest! This information report is based all around planet Mars.
Mars is known as the red planet. This signature colour comes from a chemical, known as iron oxide. Another reason why the planet Mars is red, is from rust, which causes the soil and atmosphere to look red. This is also the reason why they named the planet Mars. Mars is named after the ancient Romans for their god of war, mainly because its reddish colour resembles blood.
Mars is the fourth planet in our solar system, as already said. And its distance from the sun is 315.32 million km. 4.603 billion, is how old Mars is, and was found in the year 1610. Did you know, there were 18 missions to Mars ? And all those missions were successful.
There are two moons that Mars has, which are Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is the innermost and bigger moon of Mars. Phobos is named after the Greek God Phobos, and a son of Ares and Aphrodite, and the twin brother of Deimos. Deimos, is the outermost of the two moons. Deimos’s distance between Mars is 23, 460 km, much further than the other moon.
Remember readers, there is way more information about Planet Mars. Who knows, maybe one day we might have to live on Mars. Overall hope you enjoyed reading this report, and I also hope you learnt something new as well.
This was my writing task for this week. I had to write a information report based on planet Mars. This was a fun task to do, hope you enjoyed, and learnt something new aswell.
