Daylight Savings

Today for period 3 we have homeroom with Mrs Hastie. Mrs Hastie has asked us to answer some questions on daylight saving in New Zealand. She has given us a document that has all the question and has asked us to make a blog post on the questions we have answered.

Here is the question that answered.

Research and answer the following questions about Daylight Saving NZ in a blog post

1. When does Daylight Saving happen each year in New Zealand?

1. In New Zealand, daylight saving starts on the last Sunday of September.

2. What year did it start in NZ?

1. Daylight saving first started in 1927.

3. Why was Daylight Saving started? 

1. So that farmers could have more time working at night. It saved the farmer money on power.

4. 4 I think daylight saving should continue because I like the daylight during the night. I also like it in the morning because when I walk out the door it's nice and sunny. But my favourite thing about daylight saving is everyone gets the time at night confusing so we go to bed later than usual.

5. Do all the states in Australia have Daylight Saving? Who does and who doesn’t?

1. In Australia, they do have daylight saving in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Cranberry Territory and Norfolk Islands But not in  Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

6. Write 3 tips to help others adjust to Daylight Saving this weekend.

1. One tip is to always check the time

2. Set alarms in the morning to wake up on time

3. Avoid coffee and alcohol and don't take long naps.

Hurumanu 6 health

Today for health we looked at the different types of things that you should have in our meals each day like vegetables and fruit dairy protein and grain foods. We hade to wright down what we think something healthy to eat for each meal. 

This is what my healthy meal for each thing is. 

Your Task: Create a meal plan for 1 day that includes all the necessary amounts for each of the 4 Food Groups

Vegetables + Fruit - at least 3 servings of vege and 2 servings of fruit every day 

Grain foods - 6 servings each day (check portion sizes)

Milk/Milk products - 2 servings

Legumes/Nuts/Seeds/Fish/Seafood/Eggs/Poultry/Meat etc. - 2 servings 

When you have created your meal plan, please highlight each food based on the colours provided above. This will help us clearly see where each of the food groups has fit in. Remember, you want each meal to be a balanced plate.

Bonus research: how many glasses of water should we have each day? Fit this into your meal plan. 

Breakfast	2 weet-bix with strawberry yoghurt diced strawberries and milk.
Lunch	Sandwich wheat bread mayonnaise cucumber lettuce tomato and  ham.
Snack	mandarin and muesli bar.
Dinner	Roast with potatoes carrot gravy peas and salad
Water	How many servings per day? 1-2 letters each day  How do you think you could fit these in besides just at mealtimes?  You should have water while you're eating lunch. You should have water while you're eating dinner.  You might need to have some water while you're eating your snack.

Science

 For the last 2 days, we have been looking at different ways to comminate using binary code, flag signals and morse code for science. Me and my group used binary code. Binary code is using the number 1 and 0 to comminate with with other people. So for example you would put up the number 1 and then your partner would write number one and then you put up 0 4 times and then your partner will write 0 4 times and you put up the number one and your partner will write the number 1 down and then you have the letter A.

My Art and Writing

For the last 8 weeks, we have had Hurumanu 4.Hurumanu 4 is Art and writing. For the Art part of Hurumanu 4, we have been looking at perspective drawing with a vanishing point, prospective line and a horizon line we have also been drawing people and their faces. For the writing part of Hurumanu 4, we have been planing and writing a heroes and villains story of our choice. We hade to make up the 3 main characters in our story, 1 character is your hero the second character was your villain and your last character could be a sidekick for your hero or an animal or a random person. In your story, you have four main scenes. I'm really proud of the abandoned building that I drew for the art side of Hurumanu 4.  

This is my story I haven't really finished yet but I hope you enjoy it. 

So this story starts with a 12-year-old boy named Max playing basketball with all his friends at a local park. Max is about 4 and a half feet tall with light brown hair and hazel eyes and a diamond earring on his left ear.

 Max and all his friends are halfway through this really intense game when swish goes the basketball all the way to the other side of this giant basketball court. Max said in a really puffed out voice “I’ll get it” As the big brown basketball bounces down the court Max run’s after it with all the energy he has left. Bounce after bounce the ball end’s up going out of the basketball court and accidentally hitting this lady in the right-hand side of her back,  but what Max didn’t know was the lady the basketball hit was no ordinary lady, in fact, she is top 10 most wanted villains in the world. This lady’s name was Violet, Violet is 24 years old she’s about 5 foot 1 with black hair but slightly dark violet and violet eyes. Never would her name be Violet aye? Well, Max walks up puffed out and exhausted to Violet he says that he’s really sorry that the basketball hit her then turned around to grab the basketball then turns around one more time to say that he and all his friends are truly sorry, 

Then out of nowhere BANG! All the people at the park and at the basketball court run for dear life just so they don’t end up with red ruby blood running out of their body like it’s the Olympics 100 meter races with ruby red blood filling all the cracks in the long narrow footpath. Then rushing down and along the green grass then suddenly the sound of sirens fills the air, Then before you can blink you see Max with medical attention like no one has seen before everyone trying to keep as much blood from coming out of his chest like a waterfall, Then as fast as you can think they’re in the ambulance and then at the hospital with his parents being called to the hospital to find out that there beloved son laying in a fully dreaded blood bed with his hospital monitor at a flat beat with no hope left Max is covered with his sheet dreaded in blood. 

As Max’s mum and dad’s eyes filled with water they turned red as if they had a laser beming into them and a waterfall coming out of the sockets. Max’s body is removed from the room and then taken to the morgue under the ground floor. This is where all the unfortunate dead pale bodies are kept after dying in the hospital or on their way to the hospital.

About one and a half weeks after the passing of Max. They have a funeral for him. The funeral is held at 12:30 pm at Willo Graveyard.
