Subjects I want at school

Today we have to make a blog post about what subject in school we want to have. I have chosen to pick swimming because in Dunedin I used to do lots of competitions.but when I moved up to Christchurch I didn't do as much to remember because there were a lot of things going on and school and at home. I really want swimming to be a subject at school because I really think I could become a really good swimmer and eventually might make it into the Olympics if I'm lucky.

Gym Sports

This week for C.I.P I did gym sports. In gym sports we got split into 2 teams just like last week. The other team went to gymnastics and the team I was in played multi sports. For multi sports we had netball, socer, basctball, turbo touch and hockey. When the team that I was in we finally walked into the gym we had to get split up again into 2 team .In each game we had a time limit of 2 minutes if no team got a gole there was no pont for any of the teams. In the end my team took the win.

How to play multi sports in multi sports

You have about 4 different sports and people sit on benches and wait until somebody calls out a sport abd how many people are going to pay the sport. one team will have bibs and the other won't. The teams need to be even on both sides to make it fare. The game ends when someone scores a point and then all of the people that were on the court sit down and someone chooses another sport ( the person that isn't playing ). The next how ever much much first are going to play the next game that has been choosen and it continues until the game stops which is the peron who is not playings choice.

Music

This week for our Music hurumanu we ripped about the instrument families. 

The woodwind instruments is an instrument that makes music when someone blows in the mouthpiece some instruments from the woodwind family that you might know are saxophone, flute and more. the woodwind instrument family got its name because it's was originally made out of wood.

The brass instrument is like the woodwind instrument because it also needs someone to blow in the mouthpiece then it makes music.some of the instruments that you might know from the brass family are turbo, horn, trumpet, trombone and more.

The stringed instrument is instruments that strings. String instrument played music when you vibrate the strings some types of string instrument that you might know are violin, guitar, ukulele and more.

Music

This term for our hurumanu we have music. In the first week of our music hurumanu, we did a musician biography and a  band biography. for the musician biography, we had to New Zealand musician.and for the band biography we had to pick a band that was made in New Zealand. we had to search up facts about our musicians and band.

This is the musician biography. I did stan walker

This is the band biography. I did six60

C.I.P Wensday

Today for C.I.P I was in gym sports in gym spots we did a beep test. I worked with a buddy. My buddy's name was Tasharn. Me and my buddy got up to level 10 .We were the last team of girls that was left. After all the teams had finished we played dodgeball we were split into two teams we played two rounds of dodgeball.

Gym Sports

Today was C.I.P for C.I.P I was in gym spots. for gym sports, we played multi-sports. How multi-sports works is you have two teams. The referee will call out a sport and a number. he says basketball 3. The sport you'll be playing is basketball and 3 people run and play. the winning team for that round is the team that gets a goal in first. 

water cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

The water cycle is continuous water going from the sea to sky to the land and back to the sea

Scientific words:

Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapour.

• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapour cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1. Ziploc bag  
2. Vivid market 
3. 1 cup of water 
4. 2 drop of food colouring  

Steps:

1. get into a group of 3
2. get materials 
3.  the water cycle on Ziploc bag
4.  get 2 drops of blue food colouring
5.  add 1 cup of water
6. tape the Ziploc bag on a window with lots of sun sring on it

Two Images:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments:

Bag 1 :

1: the water cycle in bag 1 had no acidity

2: the water  cycle  does cycle

3: the water cycle in bag 1 has little drops of water  

Bag 2 : 

1: the water cycle in  bag 2 has acidity

2: the water  cycle in bag 2   does cycle

3: the water cycle in bag 2 has little drops of water

Bag 3 :

1: the water cycle in  bag 3 has  no acidity

2: the water  cycle in bag 3   does cycle

3: the water cycle in bag 3 has little drops of water

in all three bags, there are little drops of water and the water cycle is going. 

Icecap melt.

 the ice there is getting thinner and melting smaller, and cracking, which is destroying the habit of all the animals and people that live there. Also, the increased amount of melted ice is causing the ocean levels to rise about 23 feet! 

Climate change:

The mass of the ice sheet has begun to decline

Solar Energy Science Hurumanu

Solar Energy

Catching the sun movie

Materials:

1.  4 cups
2.  water
3. tinfoil 
4.  2 sheets of white paper
5.  1 sheet black paper
6. thermometer
7. one large Cup
8. 1 Heat lamp

Steps

1. get the materials that you need   
2.  full the small cups with water
3.  put the cops on the papers equally
4.  put the large Cup on one of the small caps on the white paper
5.   get the heat lamps and shine him on the cups
6. measure the temperature 

Which surface conducts/attracts the most heat? Cup 3 Black paper

Time + temperature	Cup 1 White paper	Cup 2 White paper+ plastic.	Cup 3 Black paper	Cup 4 Tinfoil
0	15	13	12	13
15 minutes	15	13	12	13
40 minutes	17	16	24	22
15 minutes	18	17	23	22

Conclusion

after getting set up we left the cups for 15 minutes in the heat lamp and then we checked the temperature of it. After lunch, we came back and check the temperature for 40 minutes then we took the heat lamp off. waited 15 minutes then checked the temperature.on a couple one and cut into the temperatures both went up when the cups black paper and return Fluval both went down.

Charles worth Reserve

Today in c.i.p  we did  same research about   Charles worth Reserve  

What:   Charles worth Reserve is a place of wetlands and native plants and native birds.

Were:  Charles worth Reserve is in Avonhead on Humphreys Dr.


Why: the reason we are going to  Charles worth Reserve is that we are going to go and do some planting you are going to plant native plants

Native birds: the native birds that we might see are Bellbird  Chatham island robin  kiwi, pukeko  kea and New Zealand.

Drama

This week on Tuesday in drama we had played hot seating is a game which involves two people or more ask the person in the Hot Seat can you ask questions about their physical person you can ask more than 5 questions. 
These are the steps we had to follow.

1. Discussed ways to be physically active. [list 5]
2. People who were good role models for physical activity - describe 2 [names/ activity/how it helps their wellbeing
3. We used HOT SEATING to ask role models open questions [define Hot SEATING]
4. Then we did TV INTERVIEWS of one role-model [FILM]

I chose 3 people to pick one out of the three people.

The first person I choose was Michael Phillips he does swimming he has won a lot of gold medal in Rio.

The second person I did was Sky Brown she does surfing one of her cool skills is learning her 360 and surfing and landing it.

the third person was Sabre Norris she does skateboarding her skills are to do a 540 air she is one of the three girls in the world who can do a 540.

Drama hurumanu

This week on Tuesday we had started our new hurumanu  drama. we have drama for 2 periods on Tuesday and Friday. For the first and second period on Tuesday we played 2 Truths and a Lie 16 steps / Tequila/ Copy Circle/ Statues/ yes let’s/ freeze and focus these photos are from the game we played , freeze frame to show and tell what we know about ‘Hauora’.



This is all the pictures that we did in freeze frame about  physical well-being.

Climate Change

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Climate Change video; The Facts video

As you watch the video answer these questions:

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years? we won't have a world to live in

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1.   water levels Rising
2. no land  
3. no food
4. pollution

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or powerpoint.

Investigate the different Fossil Fuels listed?

1. Coal - has been used for thousands of years it has been around for  lots of years  it is used for power and generation, they help people but the opposite for the world and it is more like - One example is to they are used for factories and making fires, it causes pollution, it will make our ozone more bigger and more used.
2. Oil

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energies.

Solar
- it is used for power in your home and other places so just for power and also like photo mechanical

Wind

you can also use wind for mechanical power  it can also be used for pumping grinding or grain  it can be used in specific reasons  like business school's homes and others so it is also like power 

Waves
waves is about the temperature in the water so the level  so if it is a wave it would be bodily which is a wave and no wave would be piling up the water if you don't know what bodily mean it is when you take a own risk and take a body to body so one by one if you don't know what piling is it is heavy stakes or posts

Hydro
hydro is like the oldest power we have ever had in the world but it is generating power when flowing water spins a wheel or turbine it is more used by farmers as way back for grain and hay

Obstaball P.E

Today in P.E we were paired up with another group to play the games that we made first we played the game that my  group made up. We had me, Hope, Shontelle ,Addyson and Nici .We called our game  Obstaball. We made a list of rules for our game with all the things that are very important about our game to get to the other group that we were paired up with. Then we played the other groups game. The groups game name was called schadenfreude. In play a game I really enjoyed that we had to get up to 10 points . I didn't like how there where are a lot of rough  people playing and how it was really easy to get hurt if I was to change one thing I I would want more referees.

This is my group's game
