Shark Infested Custard Game

Today for hurumanu 5 witch is health we played a game called shark-infested custard. You play the game by getting it groups of 5 or 6 and you have 3 hula hoops that you will use to get from one side of the room to the other side of the room. In this game you can only move to the other side of the room by placing a hula hoop down on the ground then stepping in it then you would place another one down and move into that hop and you can only move the hula hoop when no one is in it so you have to have about three people in one hula hoop and none of your teammates can be out of the hula hoop otherwise your group has to start at the start again. 

The thing that works well in our game.

• Work together as a team 
• - useful to have a leader 
• - strategy time useful 
• - easier to move with fewer people 
• - try to have fun 
• - communicating with each other
• - following a pattern of hoop entry 
• - being fair team players
• - rule changes to make it better next time
• - supporting each other-helping hand 
• - hoop distances kept close

Samoan Week

Talofa, This week for Samoan language week we have been doing a task board for the language of Samoa. Today I have decided to do a task where I search up some facts and language meanings, and luckily I have learnt a lot by just learning their most common language phrases. I have been searching for some facts like Apia is the capital city of Samoa and guess what it was the only city in the country. This city was located on the island of Upol which is the country's second-biggest island. This city is part of the Tuamasaga, a political district in Samoa. 

Samoa has a very long and fascinating history spanning that is more than 3,000 years. Samoan is very interesting like, the mythology and legends say they descended from the gods and heavens to inhabit these islands. That was guided by the stars, the Polynesian ancestors made their way across the Pacific in ocean-faring canoes thousands of years ago. Samoa is made up of two major islands Upolu and Savai'i with the other four smaller islands that surround its landmasses. Samoa is famous for its amazing natural scenery, cool beaches, mountain and hills, and aquatic life. 

Here is my Word Art that I have created: 

Interpersonal Skills

 Yesterday, in health we did some activity around Interpersonal skills. The whole class needed to find their own pair, to work with.

The IP skills, we used are verbal, non-verbal, and active listening. They are the most important since we both need to participate and cooperate with each other. I also use warm fuzzies, I gave my partner warm positive feedback since we both worked really well. Using this IP skill helped us to finish the task easier, this helped with the activity because, without verbal communication, we wouldn't be able to talk to each other in a proper tone. And explained the image in a good manner. That day I worked well with Lhysette, I think we both did a good job explaining our image without having trouble. We both tried no to get distracted because we wouldn't be able to finish it, and if I have a chance to change something that probably would be changing the image Instead of explaining this type of nature image, we would both rather do some type of person that shows some skills around Interpersonal skills. I would do this again because it was really fun and enjoyable.

Dilution and Filtration

Last week for hurumanu 4 which is science. We were diluting copper nitrate and sodium hydroxide.

Equipment- Test tube rack, 4 test tubes, pipette, the chemical solutions Copper Nitrate and Sodium Hydroxide

Method- Take 4 test tubes, in the first test-tube measure and pour in 10ml of Copper Nitrate. Then take 1ml from the first test tube and pipette into the second test tube. Add 9ml of water to make it up to 10ml. Then repeat for the third and fourth test tubes. 

Making the precipitate- Now add 5ml of Sodium Hydroxide to each test tube and take a picture in front of white paper.

Then we had some questions to answer.

1. Which test tube had the most concentrated sample of Copper nitrate? The first test tube was the most concentrated out of all of them.

2. When we added water what were we doing to the concentration of the solution? When you add water you are diluting the copper nitrate.

3. Which concentration of copper nitrate formed the most precipitate, why do you think this is the case? The first one was the most concentrated because it wasn't mixed with any water and it was also the most blue.

4. Make sure you have a photo to post!

Some photos of what we did last week

  

Science Water

For the last two weeks, we have been looking at the body and all the food groups that we need to generate our body so that it is the healthiest it can be for us. Those groups include fiber, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins/minerals, and water 

Some examples of fiber are: 

• "Wholegrain breakfast cereals, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread and oats, barley and rye.
• Fruit such as berries, pears, melon, and oranges.
• Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and sweetcorn.
• Peas, beans, and pulses.
• Nuts and seeds.
• Potatoes with skin."

Some examples of carbohydrate are:

• Glucose.
• Galactose.
• Maltose.
• Fructose.
• Sucrose.
• Lactose.
• Starch.
• Cellulose.

Some examples of  proteins are:

• Meat, 
• cheese, 
• eggs, 
• bread 
• Humes 
• nuts and seeds

Some examples of lipids are:

"Fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E, and K), hormones, and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein. Lipids are not soluble in water as they are non-polar, but are thus soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform."

Some examples of vitamins/minerals are:

"Calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, and zinc. Minerals and trace elements are mainly found in meat, cereals, fish, milk and dairy foods, vegetables, dried fruit, and nuts."

But today I did the water side of it with me and my buddy Lhysette. We made a poster on canva of some reasons why it is important to have water all the time in our lives.

P.E and Athletes

This term for Hurumanu 6 which is P.E we were training for athletes we did shot put, discus, 100m sprints, long jump, high jump, and relay in P.E.                                                                                                    When we were training for shot put I learned that when you keep your elbow up you get more of a boost in your throw and when you're doing discus that you have to walk out the back of the circle because if you walk out the front you're disqualified. And for the 100m sprints when your running just look forward because the moment you look back you lose concentration in your running. 

In athletics I was in the long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, 100m sprint, and relay. In the long jump I jumped 3.11m in high jump I jumped 1.25m in discus I through 12.60m and in the shot put I through 7.6m for P.E I brought P.E gear most of the time and I was particpating in sport all the time. 

Health

Today for health we are searching things on mental health, If you are experiencing issues around mental health, what agencies do we have in Chch that would support you? Also, who could you go to that is close by?

Tasks:

1) Find two or three agencies in Chch that could support a teenager with mental health issues.
