Health-Vaping discovery

 Hey everyone, welcome back  Writing is on a angle because of how it came up

For the past weeks in Health we have been learning about vaping and then once we had learnt about it we had to do a create task where we made something and talked about vaping.  Me and my group made the game 5 Second Rule game. In my group I had Shelby, Noah, Nevaeh, Ashton, Zac, Hayley and myself. With the five second rule game we made it vaping style so we had questions that we asked each other and they were all about vaping, for example some of the questions are, what is a vape tongue, is there tar in vapes, and more.we made a board as  well, the board is what you put the counters on to move around they have good spaces and bad spaces (As see below). 

I really liked the process of making the game. If you were to play the game do you

think you would get some of the questions right? I Hope you enjoyed my Blog Have a wonderful day.

Energy transformations

 Hey everyone welcome back today we were looking at energy transformation I hope you enjoy my blog post have a wonderful day, Good-Bye 

What is energy transformations?

It is when energy is passed from one type to another.

There are eight types of energy these are the energy's

8. Sound- waves can hear 

Marshmallow cannons

steps

Step 3. 1/2 way down the balloon neck cut it 

Put the balloon over where you cut the hole. 

Then enjoy using your Marshmallow cannon 

What energy's were used. 

The energy's that were used where 

Sound energy - This energy was used by when we pulled the balloon and let go it made a big bang 

Elastic energy- We used elastic energy because we had to stretch the balloon out

Gravitational potential -Gravitational was used because when the marshmallow fell down it was gravity pulling it down 

Kinetic- This one was used by when the marshmallow was moving 

What we did the them 

We took our cannons out side and launched the balloons with the marshmallows in them

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 5

Ki Ora Everyone for the next few weeks I will be posting blog posts continuously for something that is called the Summer Learning Journey. Today I am doing Week 1 Day 5. I will always put the links under this blurb so that you can go to the sites I had.

Activity 1.National Treasure
Sophie Pascoe is a New Zealand para-swimmer. This means she is a competitive swimmer with a physical disability. Very sadly, Sophie was run over by a lawnmower when she was only 2 years old. She had to have the bottom of her left leg amputated. However, despite this terrible accident, she was determined to become a competitive swimmer.
Sophie has won numerous New Zealand and world para-swimming titles, including nine Olympic gold medals. She has also won the Halberg Award for Disabled Sportsperson of the Year three times. Sophie is a great example of a New Zealander who did not let her disability stop her from achieving her dreams. She is truly a ‘National Treasure’. A national treasure is someone or something that is very important to a country.
1. My Giraffe scarf
Why. Because My Nana that passed away when I was three bought it for me and whenever it is really cold I were it.

2. My dog

Why. Because he knows how to make a person happy and he never stops giving you cuddles if you are sad. (this is what he looks like↓)

Activity 2.Swimming to Safety

Yusra Mardini is a teenage girl who was born in Syria, a war-torn country in the Middle East. She left Syria in 2015 to get away from the constant fighting and became a refugee. During her journey to reach safety in a new country, the engine on the boat she was traveling in broke down and Yusra, her sister, and two others jumped out of the boat and swam to get help. Her heroic actions saved twenty people’s lives.

Yusra now lives in Germany. In 2016 she was named as part of the Refugee Olympic Team and she swam for this team in the last summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is now training for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Yusra and her older sister flew the Syrian was and they set off on a long journey to find a safe place in Europe. In the summer of 2015,  the traveled all through Lebanon to Turkey before Starting a new Journey in Greece in an overcrowded dinghy. 

When they were fifteen minutes into crossing the sea, the boat's engine stopped. As a professional swimmer, Yusra was determined not to let any of the people she was with drown. So Yusra and her sister and two others jumped into the waves and swam for three and a half hours, right into open water to stop their dinghy capsizing, Saving the lives of 20 other people.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 4

Ki Ora Everyone for the next few weeks I will be posting blog posts continuously for something that is called the Summer Learning Journey. Today I am doing Week 1 Day 4. I will always put the links under this blurb so that you can go to the sites I had.

Links: Billie Jean King, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Billie Jean King, International Tennis Hall of Fame, Presidential Medal of Freedom,  BBC Sports Personality of the Year - Lifetime Achievement Award, Muhammad Ali, greatest boxers, Muhammad Ali, various charities, inspirational quotes, Dame Valerie Adams, gold, silver medal, Halberg Award for New Zealand Sportswoman of the Year,ta’ovala, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Niue,  travel tips

Activity 1. Making a Racket

Billie Jean King, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams are three exceptional, female tennis players. They are not only outstanding athletes and some of the best tennis players in the world, but they have fought for women to be recognized as equals to men in the game of tennis. Billie Jean King famously beat a male tennis player, Bobby Riggs, in 1973, to prove to the public that women could compete at any level in tennis. Billie Jean King was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1987, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was recently awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year - Lifetime Achievement Award.

Know now

1. Serena and Venus were some of the top Tennis players of women
2. Both the girls have kids
3. When they both had their kids neither of them thought they were ready to go back to work after four weeks so they had a few more weeks off and then went back to work

Would like to know 

1. How old were they when they started playing tennis 

Activity 2.What’s in a Name?

Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He started boxing when he was 12 years old and went on to become the World Heavyweight Champion numerous times in the 1960s and 1970s. Muhammad Ali was an African American man born with the name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. When he was a young man, however, he became a Muslim and converted to Islam. When he converted, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. During his life, Ali gave a lot of time and money to various charities. He also helped to feed more than 22 million people across the world who didn’t have enough food. Despite all of his charitable work, Muhammad Ali is still best known for his aggressive boxing style, his confident personality, and his inspirational quotes. Changing your name is a big deal! If you were to change your name, what would you change it to?

If I were able to change my name I would change it to Erika because my mum wanted to name me Erika but it didn't go with my middle and last name. 

Bouns Activity. Worth her Weight in Gold

Dame Valerie Adams (half-sister of basketballer, Steven Adams) is a shot put champion from New Zealand (NZ).
