Winter Learning Journey

 Hey everyone welcome back today I was doing the winter Learning Journey. The Activity I chose was activity 6 which is where you tell people what are somethings that you could do in a christchurch, I hope you enjoy Have a wonderful day, Good-Bye 

Heat transfer

 Hey everyone welcome back today we were learning about transferring heat. I hope you enjoy my blog post have a wonderful day good-bye.

What heat transfer means- Moving heat from one place to another 

Conductor of heat-is able to pass on heat from one thing to another 

Insulator of heat- it is something that doesn't pass on heat it 

Examples of a conductor- Oven top, heater

Examples of a insulator- Blankets, oven mitt

Convection- Heat transfer without contact. The hot air rises and the cold air sinks 

With our experiment we did we used empty tea bags and lit the bag and it flew up. this happened because when heat is applied to something the hot particals spread out and they are less heavy so they fly up into the sky 

Our experiment was really fun and i enjoyed it alot

STEAM Reflection

 Hey everyone welcome back for the past 4 weeks we have been doing a kete called steam which is where we make something that will help people in 2050. In my group I had Maddison, Nevaeh, Leo, Sophie and myself we decided to make a heating and cooling outfit. We had some difficult moments where we didn't know what to do. I really enjoyed this kete even though sometimes our group didn't do anything. Our question was what will the world be like in 2050? and what will climate change be like in 30 years time. We used old clothing and a sewing machine as we couldn't get the heating and cooling pads. I hope you enjoy my blog have a wonderful day good-bye 

My experience while doing the political party

 hey everyone today i'm going to tell you what my experience was like doing the political party I hope you enjoy good bye

At the start of it i was very anxious to do it because i was working with people that I thought I would never work with. but as we got further through I relised that it was really easy because we could just talk to each other and then we would have it done. Then just like that we were finished. So as my experience it was really fun and I hope we can do it again 

Hurumanu 2 -Political Party

 Hey everyone today even though we are in hurumanu 1 we are doing work on our hurumanu 2 stuff and we needed to publish it to our blog. In my group I had, Hayley, Isaac, Dani, Kaunteya, Chelsea and myself. Our task was to work with people we didn't really work with and to stand up in front of a crowd and tell them our opinion, We had some difficult times because some of our group didn't wasn't always there but we managed to get them done. Have a good day good-bye

week 9 do now

 hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now i hope you enjoy good-bye 

When high school student want to start voting they would have to learn about politics so they know what is what. A reason for this would be that when you turn 18 and are able to vote you need to know what you doing other wise you wouldn't know what to do.  For example you just turned 18 and wanted to vote but didn't know what to do because your high school didn't teach you about it. Therefore this is why I think learning about politics are important for high school students  to learn.

Week 9 Do Now -Hurumanu 1

 hey everyone welcome back today we had a do now, I hope you enjoy good bye 

when you are being a big speaker in front of others you can't really have a trembling voice right. A few reasons for this would be is because they would need to hear you but if your trembling they wouldn't be able to understand you. For example if you were running for prime minster you would have to be able to be good at speaking so that people know why you want to win the place.  Another example would be that if you were doing a speech you would have to be able to have the confidence to have a big crowd in front of you, while you are talking. So there for this is why being able to speak in front of people is a good life skill.

STEAM

 Hey everyone welcome back today in STEAM we are working together to fix a issue that we may have in 2050. Our issue is climate change.  and our way we are going to change it is that we will be making a shirt with heating and cooling pads in it so that we can cool down and so that we could heat our selfs up or cool our selfs down no matter the weather. Our inquiry question is How can we help heating and cooling without using heaps of energy. So we decided to make the shirt with it.

Thank you for veiwing my blog. when i get a photo of our plan i will post it so you can see how we are going.

Hurumanu 1 do now week 8

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now, our topic today was should Matariki Be a pubic holiday. Sorry for a small introduction, I hope you enjoy my paragraph, Have a wonderful day good-bye 

When you think about Matariki you would think we could get a public holiday for that well sadly that's not true right now.  A few reasons why I think we should get a holiday for this is because it is the Maori New Year and it should be celebrated.An example for this would be that we celebrate queens birthday and its not always her birthday and we celebrate our new year but we don't celebrate Matariki. Therefore this is why I think we should have a Public Holiday for Matariki.

Debating

 Hey everyone welcome back today in hurumanu 1 we are learning about debating, we are learning about debating because for hurumanu 2 we have a hurumanu election which is where there are multiple groups and we all have to basically debate in front of people to get votes.  I Hope you have a wonderful day Good-Bye.

Debating- Debating is a structured argument where there are two sides and then they both have a different argument. 

Pro vs Con- It is good vs bad basically and the good side gets to state their side of the argument 

Proposition- It is the first people that gets to speak so they get to state what their point of the argument is first 

Opposition- The opposition is the second group of people that get to state their side of the argument

Order of debate- it is the whole argument restated  and then the argument is finished and one side is chosen of who the other people think are the better argument

Hurumanu 1 do now week 8

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now. I hope you have a good day. please enjoy my paragraph that you for reading, good-bye 

When you think about subjects what is the first one to come to mind, for some people it's English it may be different for others. A reason for this would be that when you first come to a high school you will probably be getting taught a few classes but one of the main ones you would be getting taught is english. For example what language do you speak well it's probably English, another example is that you would need to know how to write a full story or a CV for when your older, and wanting to get a job and a story for if you become a book writer.Therefore that is why English is the most important subject to learn in school.

Collaborative essay

 Hey everyone welcome back today in Hurumanu 1 are making a collaborative essay. Our topic  was that the board of trusteeze should pay for the school uniforms. Have a wonderful day, Good-Bye 

When you first think about uniforms you would think they are very expensive. Well you're right this is why they should be free or the Board of trustees should pay for it.  A few parts on why they should be free are because not everyone can afford the uniform because they have to buy food and get all the stuff they need to survive for example clothes and shoes etc. 

 Around twenty percent of schools around Aotearoa New Zealand have to wear mufti because of parents struggling with juggling bills, medical costs and also having to buy school uniforms. If not enough parents buy the uniforms then they have to go into a non uniform school. If a school doesn’t have uniforms they would be distracted and not focused because they would be too busy focusing on if their outfit looks good. 

 Why should school uniforms be free? I think that school uniforms should be free because there are people out there who are living on the streets struggling to keep their kids in school. By making the uniform free that makes parents stress less about uniforms and they have the chance to spend that money on stationery. Also by making uniform free that makes it less of a struggle when going on school trips when in mufti your teacher could easily lose you. But when having uniform it would be much easier to find you and track you down to bring you back to the group.

Why are school’s making uniforms so expensive? The reason why they make uniforms so expensive is to fund the school and keep it up and running. Parents struggle to keep up with the uniform prices but the school struggles to keep the school running. In my opinion they should make uniforms cheaper so their parents have the spare money to buy books and other school stuff required because students tend to not have this simple stuff which can get them into trouble sometimes. One in five children struggle to buy uniforms. Lone parents tend to have 1 or more children which can cause depression. Therefore I believe they should make school uniforms cheaper.

 

Liquid, Solid Gas

 Hey everyone welcome back today in hurumanu 4 we were learning about liquids, solids, and gases. Then we had to make a poster about it, Here is my work Have a wonderful day, Good-bye 

Chromatography

  Hey everyone welcome back today in Science we were learning about Chromatography. I hope you enjoy my blog have a wonderful day Good-Bye

What is Chromatography?
It is the process of separating a mixture based on the pigments 

What are pigments?
  They are a substance that gives colour to things. They are used to give colour to all sorts of things like felts, paints, plastic, food ect. In other words they are particle  

Experiment 

Our aim of the experiment is to separate the different pigments from ink using chromatography 

Hypothesis: 
I think that they will separate and it will change colours 

Method:

1. Draw a line across the filter paper in pencil, 5cm from the bottom

2. Draw a coloured dot in the center of the line. 

3. Measure out 10mL of water and place in the test tube 

4. place the filter paper in the test tube and fold over the side 
MAKE SURE THE PENCIL LINE/DOT IS NOT IN THE WATER 

5. wait 5 minutes and observe the results.

Equipment:

Felt tip pen, filter paper strips, test tube, measuring cylinder, pencil, 

Observed and discussion 

When we did the experiment the colour moved up and it looked very cool i couldnt get a photo of it sorry 

What will life be like in 2050?

 Hey everyone for the next few weeks we will be learning about what everything will be like in 2050 here is what me and my group have so far have a wonderful day Good-Bye

This slide is still a work in progress 

Do Now week 6 Day 2

 Hey everyone welcome back today we are doing another do now. Have a wonderful day good-bye

(Our topic idea was anyone who lives In Aotearoa New Zealand should be aloud to vote in the federal election)

When you think about voting some people would think anyone can vote but that's not true. A reason why this statment is not true is because people that are younger have no clue what they are doing and they would be silly and just choose a random box for a person. For example say a 5 year old was voting they would just scribble over the paper because they have no clue on what they are doing. Another example is most people aren't mature enough to vote until they are aged 18 or even 16 so anyone that was voting at a younger age than 16-18 would be silly and just tick a random box for a person. There for that is why anyone over the ages of 16-18 should be aloud to vote in New Zealand not just anyone, and also why I disagree with this statement.

Mother Teresa

Hey everyone welcome back for the past week in Hurumanu 1 we were learning about mother teresa. I hope you enjoy my post have a good day Good-Bye

 

Week 6 do now

Hey everyone welcome back today, our do now was about our names. So I hope you enjoy my paragraph, Have a wonderful day. Good-Bye 

when you meet a new person whats the first thing you ask them? well its their name.  A reason for this would be so that you know them and so that you know who they are. For example when someone is saying a speech or tell you about them self's the first thing they say is like "Hi My name is (Their Name) so you know who is talking to you. Another example is saying your name to someone lets them know who you are and what your like because as you may of heard before you name is one of the reasons why you are who you are.  There for this is why your name is the most important part about you.
