Learning about friction

Today we're learning about friction. The greater the surface area contact means more friction. Useful friction is like lighting a match,brakes on cars and bikes and brushing your hair. Unuseful  friction is like carpet burn, rope burn, static electricity and skidding.From COCO BEWARE!!!

Kia ora my names Cohen i'm this weeks blog master. Ive got two siblings and a dog named Koda. I like fishing, snorkelling, game fishing and rugby. I also like action movies and comedies. This season my goal is to catch a couple of marlin and go into the national tournament for fishing. The things I like being in pod 9 are infinite, like making kites and learning about Rube Goldberg machines. I'm really looking forward to our fishing tournament in November.

It was really exciting to see what the other classes had put together.There were slide shows, puppet shows, normal drama shows and lots of posters. Some of the performances went on the big screen in the school library.
