DIVISION

This week we have been working on division, division is my favorite because it is easy and it is a faster way to work out your answers to questions.
 

ART

This week in art we have made our stories come to life we have started to make the creatures that we're in our story out of clay. I and my group were really excited to do this because it had been a long time that I had done a stop motion with clay so far I'm my favorite part about making clay is the different ways that you do stuff. 

In our story, we were supposed to have 5 characters but we only had three so as we went on we had to make up some characters and characters are a great white shark a green turtle and octopus and a whale. I made the octopus and the green turtle the easiest out of the octopus and the green turtle I think was the turtle because there were small legs that you had to put on the octopus and they kept on breaking off. 

The shark the turtle the octopus and the whale they fit into our story by!! Our story is about stopping bullying. The shark is trying to eat the turtle and the octopus The Whale says what is happening and tries to help.

What I find hard, The thing that I found hard was to not get frustrated when my creations break like for example when my octopuses leave fall off and I have to recreate the whole thing. What I found easy, The thing that I found easy was not getting distracted and keep working and working till the creations were finished.

C.I.P/ Tane Mahuta

Today we went to c.i.p/Tane mahuta and we started today off we went to the outdoor classroom first in the outdoor classroom we built a lip around the garden and moved all the rocks out of the way after we moved the rocks we trimed the trees. 

After that in C.I.P, we went to the garden and first, we took the cover off the garden and then we water the plants. After that, we raked the other side of the garden and we took all of the weeds out. Then we planted new plants like cabbage and more. Across from the garden is a little garden that was used for potatoes. We made a spot and raked it out. we got some seeds and sprinkled them all over.

Hurumanu Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which color attracts the sun's heat.

Hypothesis: I think that the color black attracts the most heat because it absorbs everything coming in from the sun is the darkest color.

Materials:

1.  tin foil 
2. black plastic  
3.  clear cup
4.  white cups x2
5. paper
6. heat lamp
7. hot mixing  

Steps

1. get one plastic cup with tin foil on it   
2.  one clear cup and one normal cup
3.  find a plug for the heat lamp
4.  put water in the cup every 
5.   every 15 mins check how hot the water is.
6. 
   

Findings: 

ConclusionToday we did a Science experiment,First we got all of our stuff and brought it to a table we set it all up, the teachers put the water in the cups And then we waited a few minutes and we tested what the water temperature was in each cup. 

This photo shows that we set up the cups and just put water in them. We were unfortunate enough that we did not get the heat lamp before everybody else we did not have one spare for us so we copy it off other people's findings are what their temperatures were. The unique aim of this experiment was to see what attracted the most heat the colors were silver black and white from our findings black attracted the most heat and then silver than white.

Ella west!!

Today Ella west came to our school Ella west is a book writer. She loves to write books she is also very good at it. She has one son she lives in Dunedin her son works on a farm. Ella west does not get a lot of money writing books but she said that she does it because she loves it.

One of the books that she wrote was night vision. She got the Idea from a journal the main idea that she got from the journal was there was a kid with XP, XP is a genetic disorder that makes you basically allergic to the sunlight. anther idea was a murder the person got murdered by getting burnt in a car on fire.

Rainfall was one another book Ella west wrote the book was made on July 22, 2002, the book was set in new Zeland/west to cost it rains a lot there the set was a murder/ crime scene.

My favorite thing about the story was the idea of getting murdered because I love the stories that are dramatic.  My favorite thing about when she told us how much money and how long it took to make the book.

                                  Maori

This week in Maori we have learned how to make a hangi. we watched a video on how to make a hangi. we watched a real-life version and a carton version. How to make a hangi. dig up a hole, make a fire then put the rocks on top, then put the wood on top then wait  for like 1 or 3 hours so the fire goes out  then take the hot rock with a shovel and put it in the hole we dug out.

Hurumanu Cellmate change

Today in science we have been learning about cellmate change and how. We have learned about the five things.

Cows, cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when cows fart of burp. methane is a greenhouse that is 25 times stronger than carbon dioxide.

Food, we need food to survive, but it creates a lot of pollution landfill, our landfill is growing up an using up more healthy land.

Transportation, most cars need gas or diesel to work.

Electricity, electricity is a form of energy used to power almost all in homes.

factories, making clothes cars, electronics, and processed foods.        

These are the five things cows, food, transportation, electricity, factories that can destroy the climent change
