Prime and composite

Prime and Composite

Factors are the numbers you multiply to get another number.

Prime numbers are the numbers that have only two factors.

What are the factors of 3? 1 and 3 Because 3 has only two factors, it is a prime number.

Composite numbers are the numbers that have more than two factors.

What are the factors of 6? 1, 2, 3, and 6 Because 6 has more than two factors, it is a composite number.

Complete the table:

Number	Prime or composite	Factors

My last post for the year

Dear blog readers
This is probably going to be my last blog for this year, and I look forward to showing you more blog-posts when I turn year 7 :)

Some of my favourite highlights this year was

1. When we got to imagine what would happen if I turned into a super hero and Mr Goodwin into a super villain, including an awesome battle. Link 

2. Learning how to use 8-bit art. Experiencing how to use this pixel style was fun and creative.

3. Year 6 camp was one of my most favourite things in year 6. It was awesome to have a fun and unpredictable adventure. Link

Top tips for the future year 6

Walt: write for a specific audience

Dear future campers,

Camp Bentzon is the most exciting thing about year six where you get to do lots of special and different events. It is a big open camp with various wildlife and great helpers and teachers that will help you along your journey. In the camp you will have to conquer certain fears and be prepared for anything because this camp holds a lot of surprises, in that case I'll be here to share five great tips to assist your experience along the way. However you should take caution through every unusual event that takes place in this unpredictable camp.

My first tip is about Killer Hill. The name Killer hill is no joke, it is a very steep and dangerous hill where many have led to their unexpected demise. Jokes but it still takes precaution to accomplish it safely. A solution for a common situation is if your stuck running down swiftly. I recommend sitting on your alec (butt) to prevent going any further even if the floor is covered with rocks, it may save you from terrible injury. If you decide to follow my advice then you may find yourself safe on your adventure through Killer hill.

My second tip includes stealth. In morning tea or afternoon tea or anything were you get something from the walk-way, once you get your first lot of snacks, if you want more I suggest you wait for a bit to let the food servers guard down. Then at their lowest awareness cover yourself in different clothes try to hide your face but don’t make it obvious, and make your move. it’s optional to disguise your voice but I think that would make it worse. Ask or secretly take what's on offer, and for all those greedy campers, that’s how you get seconds.

My third great tip is about feeding the animals. If your outside eating and there are peckish animals around I ask you not to feed the hungry animals. The reason for this is, normally the food you are served from the walk-way are unable to go down the animals digestive systems. So when your outside enjoying your meal don’t feed the wildlife, not in a mean way but in a nice way to keep them safe.

My fourth tip is about sailing. In sailing their will be a lot of vicious challenges that will block your path. A great move you could probably pull off is “tiler to the sail”. Tiler to the sail is pretty much how to turn a boat. I normally do it with a partner so it’s easier. When you do “tiler to the sail” it may help you turn easier, and all you need to do is pull the tiler to your body, and put it straight when it’s pointing to the target. Now you know how to turn a boat properly.

My last great tip is listening: why do I say this? Well, I say this because almost all these tips are mentioned at camp. If you listen than you will do almost all of this stuff properly.

Whether if it includes encouragement or skill, if you follow this information you will succeed at your journey through Camp Bentzon.

“Oh no” Katie mumbled. Katie’s mum started reading, the kids listened carefully while Katie kept avoiding any kind of contact. Her mum continued to read, Katie’s friends listened to the book as if they forgot everything else existed. The kids felt pleased listening to the story, but on the other hand to Katie, it felt like minutes of torture. As Katie’s mum came to a close reading her book, “finally” Katie thought, a few minutes later the kids realised that she was Katie's mum and started talking about how cool her mum was. Katie felt thankful what her mum did.

Animation voice over-script and Animation (Updated)

Hello, my name is Austin and this is my animation based-on the rocky shore for term 3.The rocky shore creature i'm showing is the seven-armed starfish. *zooms in* As you can see, the seven limbed creatures can eat a type of abalone.*Starfish eats it and other seven-armed starfish appears* A predator of this type of starfish is the Black manta ray.*Black manta ray shows up and eats the starfish, then manta ray sleeps but leaves it’s tail out* Another predator is a shark but the shark is not fussy when it comes to food so it eats the manta ray instead.*shark leaves*..... *Octopus comes and eats starfish giving an unexpected ending* Oh,  well I guess nothing is safe in the wild. As you can see there is the limbs and bristles of the starfish. *Shark comes out of nowhere and bites off a limb of the type of starfish* The seven-armed starfish can regrow its limbs like all starfish. It’s scientific name is Luidia Ciliaris. They can be known as the giants of New Zealand. The last fact I have here is that they are mostly found at low-tide level. Thanks for watching bye!

Super hero story

Starts off as a regular day, until Mr Goodwin decides to think that I stole his lunch. He takes me to detention no matter what I continue to say, and repeat. Suddenly as we were walking to the detention room, a blazing and glowing fragment from space races down and crashes between me and Mr Goodwin. The space fragment splits open covering us in the insides of the fragment. Just as I wake I could feel my body heat rising. but I look at Mr Goodwin,Covered in the fragment he start growing larger and starts to glow brighter until he breaks the roof in the room. As if it wasn’t broken enough he keeps moving and looks at the sky, The sky grew darker, clouds start to surround the school. All the remaining people run, Mr Goodwin stares at me. All I could see now was a glowing giant as Mr Goodwin had no more control of his mind. The glowing giant starts to shoot lightning bolts around the room breaking the walls. What was Mr Goodwin was now a maniac giant who destroyed most things in his wake. All of a sudden I started to set on fire I panicked until I realised I couldn’t feel anything. Still on fire I could feel a little molten ball in my hand, I could feel it grasped in my hands then I let go with my hands pointing at Mr Goodwin. I then saw a blazing ball of heat spiralling at Mr Goodwin then It exploded with flames at the giant. The giant suddenly snapped his fingers while looking at me, then the clouds above me thundered and shot a giant bolt of lightning at me. I crashed backwards while running I tried shooting more fiery projectiles but then I started to float with a small tornado of flames surrounded my legs then I shot backwards avoiding the rest of the rest of the lightning. I floated more and more until I was above the school. I looked around me all I could see was a broken school. Luckily all the people had evacuated, I knew what I had to do. I zoomed down and hit the colossus with my burning fist and dashed back at electric stroke then a stream of fire swirled around my arm until it came off and turned into a serpent like creature and blasted at the giant and exploded on it’s impact. I then avoided incoming bolts of lightning but the wrath of the giant grew and it shot bolts more rapidly until I started getting hit and fell to the ground, I quickly got back up and avoided the wrath of the giant. Thinking I was beating him I attacked him with a slight bit of calm then a helmet formed around my head and made my head lean at the giant, then a long gush of lava burst out of my helmet and splashed at the giant. Sizzling and burning, In pain he slammed his fists into the ground and absorbed the remaining power from the giant and created a giant shock-wave and created more and more then slammed them in my direction. I flew around the school gathering all the remaining unharmed reflective things and covered in on me then the giant amount of lightning reflected and ambushed the giant making it stunned with too much power then I hurdled all of my powers into one and unleashed at the giant then finally it was knocked out. The police finally came and locked up the giant in a place where his powers were of no use. A few weeks later the school was rebuilt and my usual friends returned, still know-one knew that I had defeated the giant, and I returned to a normal life in the day but had a new life at night.

Write like Paul Jennings

WALT: write using the structure of a narrative.

On a dark Halloween night a kid named Jack who had bad eyesight was trick-or-treating with his friends. We were all having a lot of fun until my friends dared me to go into what everybody called the haunted house. I had heard about the tales of the so-called haunted house. Some say that who ever goes in never comes back or turns into a freak, I was a brave kid and didn’t believe in those tales. Without fear I stepped into the door and entered the creepy building, *SLAM* the door shut closed. I tried to open it but it was tightly locked, I hear misplaced footsteps coming in my direction so I sprinted away terrified, I hear a big bang from where I was. Looking for exits I continue to run then I slow down, “I wonder where I should really go” I said, then suddenly the floor boards under me start to creak. I try to move but I fall instantly, I land in a werewolf's hands, paralyzed with fear I stay completely still hoping it won’t eat me. I hear something so I slowly move my head towards and see a mummy running towards me and the wolf! I quickly leapt off of the wolfs hands then *BANG* the mummy smashes into the werewolf. It was starting to get suspicious. I walk slowly trying to avoid anything else until I get jump-scared by undead hands that broke through the floor I run away but more hands rise up. They seemed to be zombies and skeletons, the undead creatures broke even more floor by rising up completely and glared at my direction but not me. They were about to run at me but tripped and fell through the floorboards, all these floorboards breaking warned me that they were weak so I walked carefully to a new place. I walked and walked until the wall ahead of me was cracked so I stepped up to the cracked wall and pulled the planks a part, then I saw what I couldn’t believe, I was outside “Finally out of that madness” I screamed. I looked where I came from happily and saw were I was. I was about to go back home but the ground started rumbling Then a horde of monsters, beasts and freaks ran at me I was about to run but then they just stopped a few centimeters away from me. It was until I then noticed that the freaks were blind so I tried giving them my eyesight healing things then they rubbed their eyes and stared at me. I then realized what still might happen so I was about to run but one monster grabbed my hand with me in the position of running. The monster then shook my hand intensely, flinging me up and down and the beast smiled at me then one by one I looked at them gazing upon me grateful for my help so I found my way back home in relief and thought of only one thing, my new friends.
Task description: We needed to write a narrative planned to be like Paul Jennings

Write the planned story V1

WALT: write using the structure of a narrative.
One day I get stuck on a deserted island surrounded with water and with nowhere to go so I start walking around looking for ways to find a way to get back home.I wander around and think of finding supplies to survive. I then find a bunch of coconuts scrunched up in a pile. I think of ways to use these coconuts and then see some strong bamboo material. After a lot of planning I then connect the coconuts with bamboo to make a shelter and make a water filter so I can stay hydrated. It starts getting close to night so I finish my tower looking shelter, and get soft things for a bed then I think I can just go to rest peacefully. Minutes later I hear the sand shuffling intensely. I walk down my small tower and go outside, I look at the sand, I thought it wasn't a problem until the ground started vibrating I walk away but I notice the ground vibrating more and more until an undead hand shoots out of the ground right next to me and grabs my leg I try running but the hand had a strong grasp so I grab an unsupported bamboo stick that was within my reach and rapidly stab the hand until it let’s go then I run to the top of my tower onto the roof. I look outside and then see more hands burst out of the ground then they come out completely and stared at me with glowing eyes, so I hoped my tower was supportive and strong but it wasn’t and the zombies ambushed the entrance and broke through the tower and scurried up the floors so I tried to rip through the bamboo fence but I couldn’t so I started jumping on the floor till it broke right through to the bottom floor and squashed the zombies then I ran to the back door. I climbed up a tree filled with coconuts,I climbed to the top and looked down, there were zombies down there ready to eat me! I was starting to slip but I pushed myself off some coconuts, the coconuts fell down and slammed on the zombie’s heads and broke open spilling coconut liquids everywhere on the zombies. What I then saw I couldn't believe, the coconut liquids turned the zombies back to humans so I took as many coconuts as I could then slid down the tree and threw coconuts at all the zombies turning all of them back to humans. The humans that were zombies had the same desire as me wanting to go back home, so with a lot of work and team effort we built some boats for all of us and found our way back home.
