NZ Quakes

By Anonymous -
Gabrielle and I have been finding out about past earthquakes that are above six on Richter Scale. Here is some information that we found on THE BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE EVER RECORDED IN NZ:

23 January 1855 in Wairarapa
This was the BIGGEST earthquake ever recorded in NZ, at a magnitude of 8.3 this earthquake was at 9.00pm, and only killed 5-9 people. It was 33 km deep.

    fascinating fact-the science of geology can be very helpful and accurate at determining the power and effects of quakes-our house shook a little on 22 nov when the 5.7 quake struck-the tomato sauce bottle fell onto the 'Beano'

You know how I was describing the coding challenge in the previous post? Look down ⬇️ if you haven't... Well, turns out my groups app made the finals for New Zealand! 🇳🇿 There is an article on stuff (link  HERE 😁  )Oh by the way I'm not in the photo so don't bother looking 🤣. Stuff says: Less Stress , helping kids aged 7-12 resolve stress and anxiety problems through games, drawing pages, inspirational quotes and a stopwatch for exercise.  That's not the whole thing but that's how it describes our app, which is accurate. If we win the finals we go to San Francisco and go to the worlds, which is very complicated so I won't go on with it but here's the world info  Here

Hi!☺ I know it's been a while since I last posted anything, so I decided to post about what I've been busy with for the last few AGES. Everyone knows about coding, but how many everyone's actually know HOW to code? Not as many as you might think, and how many of them are girls? Annoying Fact ↓ Only one in every seven engineers are girls.  For some more info on the tech challenge,  Click HERE (And not HERE)

HCF... 😃

By Anonymous -
HCF, or highest common factor, was my goal a couple of weeks ago. I took, in my opinion, a bit long to learn it, but it's easy if you know what a factor is, which I do, but I was a long time ago... Excuses excuses, anyway, I would like to show you how to do it. 😀 Look below for instructions... First step: Find two or more numbers you want to find a common factor of. I'm going to use 24 & 36. Take those numbers and find all the factors of those numbers. 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 & 24. Those are all the factors of 24. Now let's try 36. 36: 1,2,3,4,6,12 & 36. What are the factors that are the same (btw these are also called common factors)? For 24 and 36 they are: 1,2,3,4,6 & 12. 12 is the highest out of the previous numbers, so the highest common factor of 24 & 36 is... 12. This goal was a goal that challenged me to know my times tables and division facts better, it also lead me to my current goal, divisibility rules. The two goals are related in man...
