Cursive

Hi i wanna tell you about a new skill i am learning! It is called cursive. Cursive is basically like swirly handwriting which makes you look professional but i don’t know why it is considered professional, maybe it’s because it’s hard to learn. I am excited about the fact that i’m learning how to write properly but not about the learning to do it, its very difficult and hard to perfect and for that reason it is not as enjoyable as i imagined.

 

Museum of Canadian history.

When i first entered the museum of Canadian history i liked it. There were a lot of indigenous items like kayaks sculptures and tools. My favourite tool was a bendy hammer that i like to call the squiggly hammer. There was this really big kayak that had carvings and art on it. There was also a small kayak but it was still pretty big even though it was most likely for children. There were also trees that looked like a face, one of them had a bunch of people climbing to the top. When we went to the third floor that was when it got more modern. We started to see big coats and one of them was made from bison. There were more coats that i examined and it turned out they were made for whale hunting, i think we also saw whale bones. I also saw a bunch of cool weapons.

My goal 2023.

My goal is to do better in French vocabulary and french in general.

I can reach this goal by asking more questions, and focusing more. I have been

doing a research project and i got down close to 4 pages in one period. In my

notebook for verbs i have been struggling and not very close to finishing it.

I have been improving slowly. I can tell because it is a bit easier to respond to sentences or questions asked in French notebooks.

People who can help. Marie-Josee.

The outcomes are. Better test work, finishing school work easier and faster, teachers are happy.

Self Directed learning – Crystals

                    How important are Crystals.

Hello i am Nathan i Will tell you how important crystals are.
 Many geologists and doctors believe crystals help people mentally sometimes even physically. One of these crystals is amethyst. People believe amethyst helps with anger anxiety sadness and grief. A clear crystal like clear quartz is believed to help heal people physically.

Here is a picture of amethyst

Different types of Crystals.

There are more crystals that can help you such as. Selenite fluorite Shanugite Hematite Aventurine etc. Most of these crystals can help you emotionally and control stress.

How Crystals are made.

Crystals are solids which are molecules (or atoms) They are arranged from something called a crystal structure. A crystal structure is an unending pattern. Crystals are formed by something called crystallisation. Crystallisation is when a natural process that happens when materials solidify from liquids. This happens from something like a temperature  change or chemical change. 



The price of crystals.

Many different crystals have different prices it can go from a diamond and emerald in hundreds of thousands of dollars to clear quartz which is around 20 dollars. The more expensive crystals are harder to find. For diamonds, miners or geologists would go to a diamond mine because diamond mines would usually have more diamonds in it. Different sizes of crystals can also change the price by a lot. Here is a picture of emerald. green and white crystal fragment

 
I am also making a shelf where i will put all of the baking soda crystals i am growing. some of the baking soda crystals will be different colours and some will not, they will be different colours because i added dye.

Podcast reflection

Hello my name is Nathan and i will tell you about my podcast that i made with a few friends. I made it on Spotify go check it out.

What is a podcast?

A podcast is a digital audio file that is on the internet which people use to listen to many types of stuff.

What did you do on the podcast?

On the podcast, I read a book called the chocolate touch. It was a good book that had not only a fun story but an interesting story. (go read it) where I had different tasks

to do each week when recording on the podcast. One of them i did is called the investigator where i try to guess what will happen next in the book.

What is your podcast reflection.

For my reflection i did not think i did the worst but not the best. Sometimes I used sarcasm at the wrong time and not the correct wording at moments. Sometimes i would also voice crack but i was not sounding nervous or anything like that. I would probably change the way I would speak sometimes and the amount of times i almost burst out laughing. But i guess having funny humour while recording could be good. It was pretty fun saying jokes sometimes.

Geology

Hello there i want to tell you about an experiment that i did about minerals rocks and the earth. I took a cookie one hard and one soft and used toothpicks to dig into the cookie and take out the chocolate chips. Sort of like the chocolate chips were a diamond and i was a geologist.

 

What is a geologist?

A geologist is a person who studies minerals rocks and the earth. A geologist takes chunks of a wall or cave and studies the rocks they took to see if they are valuable or not. or a new type.

 

What types of rock are there.

There are 3 types of rock. sedimentary metamorphic and igneous. Sedimentary is a soft rock that eventually hardens into a rock. Sedimentary is made up of many small rocks. Metamorphic is a rock that is below the ground and is made from earth’s heat which gets formed from the pressure and heat. Igneous rocks are made from a volcano made lava and it hardened which made a rock. if the lava hardens with air bubbles and that makes holes in the rock. There are 2 types of igneous rocks.
