A Mountain named Blue Mountains?

For recount I had wrote a time when I had been to Blue Mountains in Sydney (Not on my blog). My Dad and I went to Sydney at 1st of March and we went to Blue Mountains at 4th of March. I had a great day at Blue Mountains read below of my journey with my Dad at Blue Mountains. I hope you like my recount. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Blue Mountains

It was a Sunday morning in Sydney when we decided to go and look at Blue Mountains, to see the scenic view. We got ready and went in the car. I really like traveling and looking at scenic views. My dad’s friend went with us. He drove the car and he said to go to Oporto. We got a burger each and peri peri sauce chips. I checked on Google Maps where is Blue Mountains and is was 1 hour and 5 minutes to reach Blue Mountains. I am really excited!

This was my fourth and second last day at Sydney. On the way we saw Wet n’ Wild, remember when I went to Wet n’ Wild in Gold Coast. But the trees where covering the site and we were on the motorway. There wasn’t much things to look around but there was more cars than we see in our motorways.

My dad’s friend said that we are going to look at Three Sisters. I was thinking, “Three Sisters?” He said that Three Sisters is a tourist attraction. I was really excited to see the Three Sisters.

After 45 minutes…

“We are nearly there,” my Dad’s friends said. We were going on top of the hills, and there was a sign called ‘Scenic World’. We arrived at Katoomba. Katoomba is a small town outside of Sydney. There was an underground parking for the scenic view. We walked over to the entrance, we went inside and there was the view of the mountains. At the reception they gave a band (with a barcode), a map and said to go on the railway and then go for a walk, there was one way for 30 minutes and 10 minutes. My Dad said to go on the 10 minute walk and go on the railway back.

We scanned the barcode and took a photo of the view with my dad, on the way it said that the Scenic Railway is the steepest railway in the world. We had to wait in a long line. We waited for 5 to 10 minutes when it was our turn to go on the Scenic Railway. When we were waiting we heard people screaming when the Scenic Railway went down. My Dad said that they were being too scared of the ride. We were sitting in the middle of the railway. There wasn’t any seatbelts to wear. The doors of the side automatically closed. The railway slowly went forward, when the railway went steeper it got a bit faster. People screamed when the railway went steeper. The railway goes steep to 52°. We had to hold the bars that were on top. We wanted to take some photos when we go but it was really hard. My Dad took this photo when this railway was about to go down. People screamed and for me it was fun to ride this railway. When we arrived at the bottom we could see the Three Sisters. We took some photos together with the mountains. I went up and looked at the view and there were heaps of mountains in front and around me.

My Dad and I went on the 10 minute walk to the Cableway. We walked and saw the trees. When we were walking there was a old mine that had been closed. “Where here” I said, it didn’t seem like it was a 10 minute walk.

We had arrived at the Scenic Cableway. It wasn’t a long line like the Scenic Railway. When the Cableway came there were more people than we waited in the line. My Dad and I stayed in the front to see the view. There was the three sisters in the view. When we turned around we could see the trees and the nature. The Cableway was slow because people can see the view of the mountains and hills. When the cableway stopped it gave us a tiny swing of the cableway. We went out of the cableway and walked to the Skyway.

The line of the Skyway was similar to the Railway but the Skyway comes every 2 minutes (there is a screen to count how long does it take). After 2 Skyways came and went it was out turn to go on the Skyway. My Dad’s friend said to go in the middle of the Skyway because you can see under the Skyway (the electro-glass cabin floor). When we went in the Skyway we went in the middle of the Skyway. There was a introduction of the Skyway, facts and its view. They also said that you can see the Three Sisters from the view. When the Skyway started we could see under the Skyway. It was amazing. We could see Katoomba Falls, Jamison Valley in the distance and plants and trees under us. There was an announcement that we have reached to the destination, we didn’t got off because we didn’t had time looking on the other side. So we stayed and waited for the people to come, we were still standing in the middle of the Skyway. When we reached back we went in the car and my Dad’s friend said to go to Echo Lookout. There is a great view there.

We reached there in a few minutes. We had a good parking near the lookout. There were dark green mountains. There were tourists looking at the view. It was awesome. We could see the three sisters really closely. I took some pictures of the Three Sisters and the view of the mountains in a pano. It was a great view. This was the best trip so far. In the distance we could see the Skyway. I was thinking “Why is the Skyway far when we could see the Three Sisters closely?” It was quite weird. We went downstairs. There was the Prince Henry Cliff Walk but we didn’t want to do it. We stayed for 10 minutes then we went back in the car to go home.

It was an awesome day at Blue Mountains and Echo Point. My favorite time was when we had to go on the Scenic Railway, done the 10 minute walk, the Skyway and Echo Point, there was a great view.

Want to know about Longfin Eels?

In reading our task was to know about Longfin eels. I have collected information about Longfin eels and its facts. I had started this yesterday and I had started this, I had done hard work. I hope you like it. Comment down below. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Rorschach

For today's post I am going to talk about a test that psychologist use. There is a test named Rorschach. Psychologist use Rorschach inkblock to measure emotional strength.

The way to use Rorschach:

So it is a set of cards containing pictures if inkblock, that had been folded over to create a mirror picture. If you want to test this out you need to ask someone, "What does this look like?" You need to record the answer, and ask other people the question. See what they get? In this test it would say what they see.

Below is a video about Rorschach. Credits: Crash Course

Wow! Heritages!

In Kete we started a topic for the heritages in the city. In our group there was John, JV, Ryan and I. This took a week to finish this slide. Some of the heritages are popular as you see in the slide. Also we had to make a poster of one of the heritages in the slide. We had done hard work in this slide and hope you like it. Make sure to comment down below. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

"But How Did he Get up There?"

For this weeks 100 word challenge our prompt was "but how did he/she get up there?" I had finished this writing in 10 minutes. The prompt was good to write and below the image is proof that I had wrote in 100 words. I hope you like my post and please comment down below. I hope you have a cool day!! Bye!!

Tony woke up and screamed “aaaah!” There was a creature beside Tony looking confused. Tony asked in shock “whoo arrre youu?!” The creature picked me up and said “It’s no time to talk just follow me.” The creature went to a cave where there was no one there. The creature said “You are in danger, think that you need to go to space.”

“We are nearly there,” said the creature.

Beep, Beep, Beep. The alarm rang, Tony woke up and jumped on top of the low bookshelf. Tony’s mum came and asked “How did you get up there?” Tony wondered.

4 Development Stages in Children

For today's post, I am showing you one of Jean Piaget's theory's. This theory is about 4 Development Stages in Children (as shown in the title). Jean Piaget has done this experiment from stage 1: (0-2 years), stage 2: (2-7 years), stage 3: (7-11 years), stage 4: (11 and older, until to 19 years old).  On top ↑ is an image of the 4 stages in the theory (. Also below are more depth information about the stages.

What I've learnt: In the first stage the babies (little children) would get more sensitive like moving objects and sucking them. In the second stage, I didn't know that they would often use "why?". For the third stage, they use more thinking as they get older. For the fourth and last stage, they have the ability to use hypothesize (brainstorm).

How to Brainstorm Easily?

For today's post, I am going to post about the easiest way to brainstorm ideas. There is an app on Google Drive called Mindmup or Mindmap. I have also used it and it really helped me for the brainstorm. It is free and you only need to sign in. On the right is one of my old Mindmup that I have made about Komodo Dragon Facts. Try it its fun! I hope you like my post about Mindmup. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

What Colour is this?

For this post, we are finding out what is a Stroop Effect. Do you know or have you heard of Stroop Effect? Stroop Effect is one of the famous and widely used in Psychological tests. If you don't know what is a Stroop Effect, example if there is the word, Red, but the colour is Blue, so that is Stroop Effects. On the right is a photo of Stroop Effects. This is a good way to test your eyes and your brain. Also, it is a fun test to do and do it with your friends and family. Here is a link to a Stroop Effect Test. The thing to do is to ask what colour is this?  Red  Blue

I have tried this test on my classmate and hope you like it (don't judge it, please).

I hope you like my post about Stroop Effects. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Who is this Famous Psychologist?

For this post, I had to research about a famous psychologist named Ivan Pavlov. Also, know why is he a famous psychologist?

Ivan Pavlov

His Early Life

Ivan Pavlov was born on 14 September, 1849 in a small village named Ryazan, Russia. His earliest studies were most focused on theology. He soon abandoned religious studies and devoted himself to the study of science.

In 1870, he began studying the natural sciences at the University of Saint Petersburg. 

Pavlov's Career and his Discoveries

Pavlov's primary interests were the study of psychology and natural sciences.

There had been a famous experiment that he had done on his dogs. Pavlov's experiment has played a critical role in the discovery of one of the most important concepts in psychology. Actually, his discovery was quite by accident.

How did this experiment happen?

Well, he trained his dog and when he rings the bell the dogs run to the food and eat their food. When Pavlov rings the bell the dogs know that the food is ready to eat. Pavlov's experiments worked well and he was noted as the Russian physiologist who went to win the 1904 Nobel Prize for his work studying digestive processes.

Below is a video of Ivan Pavlov's dogs.



Pavlov died on 27 February, 1936.

What is a Right and Left Brain?

People who are right brained they are more thoughtful like creative and subjective.

People who are left brained they are more logical and objective.

Difference between Left Brain and Right Brain

The left side of the brain is responsible for the right side of the brain.

Also the right side of the brain is coordinates the left side of the brain.

What does "Linguistic" mean?

Linguistic is the language that you speak.

What does "Spatial" mean?

What visual do you have or what do you see?

Can This be 100 Words?

The 100 Word Challenge

For this challenge we have to write a story that is exactly 100 words. How? So there is a picture below that we have to write a story about. This picture below is about a giant teacup that scooped grass. Now we had to write a story out of that. It took about half an hour to finish the whole story. It was really fun writing this 100 word challenge. I hope you like my post about my 100 word challenge. Have a cool day and week!! Bye!!

Suddenly the giant’s teacup fell...

5 Minutes ago… 

The giant was sitting in his old and rusty chair like always drinking his stinky tea. Boom! There was a loud explosion that came from the west. Suddenly the giant’s teacup fell down, down and down all the way to Earth.

A Few Years Later - On Earth… 

The scientists came and found the unknown, mysterious teacup that scooped up grass. The scientists wondered and scratches their head, “how could this happen?”. The End The movie ended well and the people enjoyed the movie, some people said, “Wow what a movie that was."

Welcome to Psychology

What is Psychology?

It is a scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context or mental characteristics or attitude of a person or group.

Psychology is a study of the mind and behaviour. 

The mind is highly complex, and conditions that relate to it can be hard to treat.

Thought processes, emotions, memories, dreams, perceptions, and so on cannot be seen physically, like a skin rash or heart defect.

While physical signs of some mental health issues can be observed, such as the plaques that develop with Alzheimer's disease, many theories of psychology are based on observation of human behaviour.

A practising psychologist will meet with patients, carry out assessments to find out what their concerns are and what is causing any difficulties, and recommend or provide treatment, for example, through counselling and psychotherapy.

Psychologists may have other roles, too. They may carry out studies to advise health authorities and other bodies on social and other strategies, assess children who find it difficult to learn in school, give workshops on how to prevent bullying, work with recruitment teams in companies, and much more.
