Text-type; short story 

In this short story, nick is watching keri running in the athletics day torment and Nick is very intrigued with Keri and knows everything about her expressly her running, in fact, she was so intended during the race she started to feel like Keris couch and at the end of the race felt just as out of breath as her. In the first race, Keri finishes second to a small girl that is described as small and skinny and is very distraught at coming second but in the final race she gives it her all and comes in first and closee behind her the small skinny girl arrives just as out of breath and after a little chat, they hugged and walked away. That where the story ends. 

My literacy question. what genre does this text being to?

Spirituals

Spirituals are songs that were sung by slaves to give them hope and give them secret messages like the song wade in the water that told the people to wade in the water and because the dogs can't sniff them out when they swim in the water. 

These songs were also used by Harriet Tubman who was an escaped enslaved woman that used songs like these to tell others that it's safe, where to go or how to get there. She used the underground railway to which was a connected network of tunnels and safe houses that were used to transport slaves up north where they would be free. 

One spiritual is wade in the water which tells the slaves to wade in the water to escape from the dogs. 

These events in history come back today as some singers put some nods to these events in their lyrics and will sometimes even name songs after the events of the past.  

Atoms

 

Today in class we made recreations of Atoms using paper, plastic "nucleus", vivid and string. I made a recreation of a helium atom.

Aim: To make a model of an atom 

The method:

1. Chose an atom to make. (between hydrogen and neon)

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has. 

3. Hydrogen to beryllium use the big beads.

4. Boron to neon just the small beads.

5.  Assign protons and newtons to a particular colour of beads.

6. Get a ball of blue tack and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.

7. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.                                                                          

8. Connect the nucleus and electron shell with a piece of string.              Black= neutron Red = proton 

9. Create a label to go above the model so people will know what you have created.

Helium is the second element on the periodic table. It has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons making its atomic number 2. The atomic number is how many protons and electrons the atom has. Its mass number 4.0, however, is how many protons and neutrons there are in the atom in total. Since helium has only two electrons its outer shell only has two electrons and because of this helium is very stable. 

Facts about Helium. 

Helium is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas and its the second most common element in the Universe. and the gas is almost all ways found in its gas state except in very extreme circumstances.

The power of failures 

The power of failures is learning from your mistakes and failures and to be resilient

"It was pretty shit," Akira Loane said, his life was very bad until his father kickstarted his fightback to get back to all blacks. 

In a lockdown, he and his partner started a workout schedule so that he could get fitter at home and I think that this is a good example of working towards your goals.
