For the past few periods of maths. My class has been learning the maths behind forces and motion. We learnt how to calculate Time, Distance and Speed. We also learnt about Newton's Three law of Physics.

Music Performance
Whewwwwww
What did you perform?
In the performance. My role is to be the rhythm guitarist. Whilst Brielle was the lead piano. Subhnesh and Ace were back up ukulele. Rojan was the bassist. For our performance, we decided to do a song that all of us were familiar with. The song ''Let it be'' by The Beatles.
How did the performance go?
The Performance on a whole was pretty decent and fluent. Just in the later half, our pianist panicked for a bit in the end. Since a lot of us were still quite unfamiliar with our instruments we somehow managed to do our own little version of the song.
What was challenging about this task?
Personally, it wasn't that hard as long as the motivation and the attitude to adapt and do new improvements were present it would go smoothly. Somedays on practice we just didn't feel like learning our parts probably due to boredom.
What did you enjoy about the task?
The task was simple and straight forward. we just needed about more time to completely master our parts so that it could go smoother.
Song analysis
This is America- by Childish Gambino. The song introduces the wider issue of gun violence in the United States, the high rate of mass shootings in the US, along with other social issues that are commonly suspected to have been results of historically widespread racism and discrimination experienced by native Americans.
I have a Dream - By Common, The song enforces the historical moment when Martin Luther King. Jr. Made the '' I have a Dream'' Speech to show what the people's crys and movement were about.
Changes - By Tupac. it was originally recorded in 1992 when Shakur was signed to Interscope Records. The rapper re-used many lines from other unreleased songs of his on the recording of “Changes” with plans to create another revised of the song at a later date.

Windracer Experiment : Science
Research and Planning For over 4 periods of science, our class is tasked with creating a sail for our wind cart or wind racer for the test on Friday. In my group, we decided to do a trapezium shape for our sail, But we also went and thought about adding three possible layers of triangle-ish shaped sails to see if it has effects. We decided to tape sticks to the paper to see if it does anything.
This may be similar to what we plan on making [Inspiration]
Equipment/Resources
-sticks
-Papers
-Scissors
Testing and Experiments
After doing a few tests about how far our wind-racer can go. We also decided to add some designs to make our own wind-racer for, I guess much more aesthetic and creative elements on it [It was a shark on a newspaper]. On the first run, Our wind-racer managed to be only a few meters apart from the starting line. Seeing as we were not really sufficed with our results we decided to add more components to our wind-racer. We added another layer of newspaper to see if it will enhance our creation.
Final test and Evaluation
By adding a new layer of newspaper to our sails. It somehow covered more distance than our first trial with our previous one sail. If allowed to do so again, we would have added a much thicker sail or component such as cardboard to make it faster. and we may also add one more layer to see if it will also make a difference. Hopefully, it does go far as currently, we are just judging based on our hypothesis of what could possibly be.

Technology and Change Essay
For the past few weeks of Term 3, I worked on researching inventions or discoveries during the Stone age Period. We were given choices to pick which era or period to pick from and the one I have chosen is the Stone age.
Question: Explain a technology period you have studied and what some of the important inventions were in this period.
Use the Lawyer paragraph to explain this.
Paragraph 1: Introduction.
Re-state what the question is in a paragraph
During the stone age period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during this time were cave art, basic tools for gathering resources, and clothing. The Stone age period is split up to three particular periods. The Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age, and the Neolithic age. With recent researches being made and studies being investigated. There were some important inventions in this period that were quite beneficial to the human race, as over time the inventions evolved into a much more refined state of its former state.
Paragraph 2: Invention 1 explained
State what the invention is, what it does and how far it has come up until today
An important invention seen during the stone age period was cave art, they were used as a way for people in the stone age as a way to express the stories that they have in their background or life. The importance of this invention was that it could be used as a way to share knowledge or history throughout the generations. For instance, a particular cave painting was mentioned in an article portraying what life was back then in that period of time. Cave paintings have an important role in preserving historical moments and what life was like in the stone age period, as other methods dating back in the stone age era period were still not invented. Over time the paintings evolved from a rough surface to a proper wall of art with vibrant colors.
Paragraph 3: Invention 2 explained
State what the invention is, what it does and how far it has come up until today
Another important invention created in the stone age period were tools. The invention of tools was a big beneficial and efficient discovery. The tools made the process of gathering resources easier and faster. The way of hunting was drastically better and a bit safer with usable weapons to use against animals the chances of successfully coming home with a feast improved. For example, relating back to the cave paintings some portray cave people using spears to hunt animals. The tools overtime upgraded to a much better creation to help humanity gather resources from nature such as chainsaws and proper tools to gather minerals from the earth.
Paragraph 4: Invention 3 explained
State what the invention is, what it does, and how far it has come up until today.
Lastly, An important invention created during the Stone age Period was the invention of clothing. Back then people hunted the animals for hunger, but some have come up with an idea to reuse the skin of the animals they have slain into questionable attire. In the cold and snowy days, fur and other heat-insulated parts of an animal were really beneficial to the humans back then. Overtime the clothes being produced or gathered from evolved into a much finer state, from animal skin to wool clothing and so on. As clothes are now daily essentials that humans need to go about in their daily lives.
Paragraph 5: Conclusion
Go over the points you have just made above
These are some fascinating inventions that were discovered during the stone age period. These are some of the essential and important inventions seen during that period. As the things mentioned above are the things widely used in this current day and age but in an advanced state. Since the invention of these creations dating back thousands of years, Gradually as eras come and go.
