Character Review On Primrose

I am going to be doing a review on Primrose. Primrose appears in Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino. She is Gothels older sister and is a fun and joyous person. Hope you enjoy reading about Primrose.

 Primrose is the sister of Gothel from Rapunzel. Primrose is one of my favourite characters in Gothel's backstory! She is a fun and loving sister and is always ready to make the world a better place. She is the only colourful character in this book and that is why she is so interesting. She is 16 and really optimistic. Her red hair flows down her back and her face is dotted with freckles and emerald green eyes. Primrose lived in a murky forest with her mother and two sisters Hazel and Gothel. She is the middle sister but the most joyous. When her mother died she continued to haunt the three of them until she attacked Hazel and herself and made them both fall ill. 

No matter how much Gothel tried she just couldn't get them to turn back into her old happy self. Until 3 identical sisters visited them saying they could cure her and Hazel but when they finally found a cure it was too late. Primrose and Hazel were gone. Gothel was devastated. I really liked how Primrose lightened up their murky forest. 

By reading about Primrose I saw how much being kind and caring can change one person's life. 

This is my review on Primrose. Hope you enjoyed it!

Book Review On 'Mother Knows Best'

 During the holidays, I was enjoying a book called 'Mother Knows Best' It is a fiction chapter book and it is written by Serena Valentino. 

In my understanding, this book is a back story on one of Disney's most famous villains, Mother Gothel. It shows why she needed Rapunzel and it gives you a deeper understanding of her ways. After reading this book you might even feel sorry for Gothel.

I recommend this book for 9-year-olds and up because they will understand this book and its ways.

My Holiday Recount🎉🎉

During the holidays I went to Auckland for my cousins 10th birthday! I wrote a recount on it and this is what I wrote. 

In the empty streets of Whangarei, our silver car cut through the light fog that was sitting on the road. The sun yawned happily as it walked into view and threw orange, green, pink, and blue colours all over the sky. My nana hummed along to the music while my aunty stared blankly into my phone. We were driving to Auckland to celebrate my cousin’s 10th birthday! I gazed out the car window to see the stars waving goodbye and disappearing from view. 

 Driving to my cousin’s house, we had a pit stop at Macdonald’s to enjoy breakfast. The warm, fluffy pancakes had been drizzled with sweet maple syrup and the hot chocolate warmed my body making the freezing cold vanish into thin air. Afterwards, we ventured to my cousin's house. Inside my cousin’s house, the atmosphere had a warm, welcoming feeling. 

So, as I wandered around, there was my cousin snoring peacefully on her bed. I woke her up and with an excited voice I said “Happy birthday!” and as she steadily stirred in her sleep, I gave her a small nudge to wake her up. Some of her clothes looked like they were singing in perfect melody; others look like they haven’t heard the perfect pitch before! She was still stunning in her brand new clothes and as the sun danced off her making her hazel eyes, sparkled with excitement. 

 Twenty minutes later, we were all enjoying the fresh air and were on the long drive to Auckland. The endless green fields were painted with flowers and we were all bored and had nothing to make our boredom disappear. So, as our silver car traversed along the eternal highway, me and my cousins fell into a deep sleep. 

 Waking up in the busy streets of Auckland, I was excited to beat my cousins at any and every game in Timezone. Hopping out of the car and walking steadily to my destination, the cars along the road roared past me and crowded the streets. The sun was now sitting happily in the inky, blue sky and was smiling down at me. Walking into Timezone with my family, adrenaline ran throughout my entire body; so as I went onto the games I enjoyed the hours we spent there, I lived in the moment.

My Math Goals

 In class, we are doing a Brick test and I am currently stuck on Brick 22! It is one of the hardest bricks in my opinion (mainly because I can't move off of it). So, to help me move off 22, we made a goal sheet. It shows where we are, where we want to be and how we're going to get there. Enjoy!

Naming Objects In Te Reo Maori

In Maori, we are learning to name objects and we are starting to say where about in the classroom they are positioned. In this Google slide, I am stating if the object is or is not what I am saying.

Decheis Explanation On Plants Process Of Excretion

 Throughout the world, plants are found and they all excrete the same way. They have a different more complicated way of producing waste than animals and humans. Even though they don't have excretional organs they still produce waste. This explanation tells you how.

How Plants Excrete

In the plant kingdom, plants process waste in a completely different way than humans

and animals. They have multiple different processes to do so. Even though there are

hundreds upon thousands of species of plants they all excrete in the same way! Plants

excreting is a fascinating process and this piece of writing explains how.

Osmosis

Firstly, to understand how plants excrete you need to understand osmosis. Osmosis

plays a vital part in plants excreting. Osmosis is the movement of water and nutrients

from the root to the entire plant. It absorbs water and nutrients from the soil and

transports them through the plant. Xylem vessels take the freshly absorbed water

and nutrients from the part of the plant that has the highest concentration in water

and nutrients to the lowest concentration.

The Xylem Vessels

Xylem vessels are molecules that carry the excess water and nutrients from osmosis to

the leaves. The wood in tree trunks is mostly made of xylem vessels. Xylem vessels

transport water and nutrients through the plant and then to the leaves for the plant to

excrete. Once the xylem vessels have completed their job the plant is ready to excrete

using transpiration.

Transpiration

Finally, through transpiration plants can excrete. Inside the leaves, there are minuscule

pores called stomata. The stomata is the most important part when the plant excretes;

it would be impossible for plants to excrete without stomata! The water and nutrients

is dropped off in the leaves by the xylem vessels. Then the process of transpiration

is put in motion. Transpiration takes the water and nutrients and shoves them into the

stomata (pores) in the leaves. The water and nutrients is then released into the world.

After that, the entire process starts again.

Now You Know

Now you know how plants excrete. The process is amazing and confusing at times,

but you can gaze in awe at the process of a plant excreting and its wonders in the end.

Finding The Area Of The Tricky Triangles And Their Cousins The Rectangles

In math's, we are learning to find the area of tricky triangles and their cousins the rectangles. Finding the area of these two shapes can be very difficult. That is why I am guiding you through the 3 step process 1 step at a time. Here they are:

Step 1: First off, you need to find the area of the rectangle that the triangle is in. To do this all you need to do is multiply the measurements of the height (the side) by the length (the bottom).

Step 2: Great! Now find the area of the triangle. To do this divide the base by two (the base can be anywhere) and then multiply it by the height (which is always perpendicular to the base).

Step 3: Last but not least, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

Now, any question that involves the area of tricky triangles, their cousins the rectangles or both, you now have the tools to solve it. Don't get upset if you didn't get it first try because neither did I. Just try again and you will succeed!
