LAST DAY OF DRAMA

Hello readers today I will be telling you all the things we've done in drama this term because this was our last day doing Hurumanu Drama. Like our performance plan, but we didn't quite did our performance because me, Alex and Joshua had to go on an esol class. But I will still show a video of my other class mates doing their performance. THIS ONE


Here is some of the videos we've done this term

MY LEARNING STORY!

This term in science my favourite experiment was the skittle experiment. That was my favourite experiment because you get to to eat it!!! On my first day at science I was afraid, and my heart was beating as fast as a engine because I thought that we would mix different chemicals that would explode. It turns out that we just did simple experiments.





The second experiment I liked doing was the dirty water experiment because we learned how to turn dirty water to clean water. My group didn’t exactly turn the dirty water into a cleaner water but we tried. One thing I didn't like about the experiment was the SMELL! It was terrible, it had coffee beans and mud. That is the things I know that was in there.





I can work successfully with others by listening to their ideas and not starting an argument with them.





I am a curious learner because I ask too many questions about the work we are working on.

Global Community and the pollution

Explain what community you have joined? I have joined the Global Community group because I want to help the world from the pollution.

Explain why this group is your passion? This is my passion because there is lots of people might be needing my help.

Explain one idea your interested in? Helping the world from pollution because it will kill some of the animals and affecting the climate change.

How do you think you will achieve this idea? I think I can achieve this idea by putting the rubbish in the right bin and also telling people to not litter and  put their rubbish in the right bin.

MATHS GRAPH!!! CLICKKK NOW GOOD PHOTO

WALT: Present our statistical findings in a graph.

I hope you ENJOYED MY BEAUTIFUL GRAPH. Hoping to see some of your feedback!

OUR PERFORMANCE PLAN

Hello readers this week in drama, we had to pick a group, and the teacher gave us a little card that we had to follow so that we could create our performance. The cards said that we had to decide a character's emotion from your piece, so we picked happy. We danced and sang the Happy Song where you sing "when your happy and you know it clap your hands". We haven't done our performance and we haven't finished practising .

CIP ART WORK PLAN

Today in our CIP class we had some discussion about recycling and art works. We had to vote for an artwork that represents Hornby High School the options were, a big H sign  on front of the school made of plastic, second option was Birds + native animals related to HHS/Hornby Community, last option was messages to the community. The class chose the Birds + native animals related to HHS/Hornby Community.

For me I think we should make an enormous kiwi made out of, empty water bottles, yarn for the feathers, paint, straws for the beak, papers and buttons for the eyes.

PUPPET SHOW!!!! LOOOOOK NOW!!!

Hello readers this week I will tell you more about the puppets I told you last week. So we had to find a group of four in my group was Hans, Joshua and Alex. Every single of use made a puppet my one was a duck Joshua's one was a puppy Han's one was a ninja and Alex's one was a tomato with a knife on its head. Here is a photo of me and my puppet

its not really that cool because we didn't have enough time so I just rushed it, I also making a funny face. Our teacher told us that we were gonna have a puppet show, so we had to practice what we were gonna say. HERE IS A VIDEO OF OUR PUPPET SHOW!!!!

Community Project

In your own words, what is the project? The project is collecting rubbish and creating an art using it.

What is the purpose? The purpose is keeping the environment clean and safe and recycling.

How much rubbish do you think we are going to collect? Why do you think that? I think we will collect lots of rubbish because I think that we will create an art that will need lots of rubbish like a tree.

What colours do you think we will see the most? Why? I think that we will see transparent colour because there are mostly water bottles and cookie wraps.

What type of art would you like to create? I would like to create an art that is made out of plastic and I would like to make any animals.

ME AND MY GOALS!!!

My goals this Term are,
completing the work in the time i'm given,
I can use digital tools for different purposes.


This term I will try completing the work that the teacher has given to me and completing the work in the time i'm given. The next goal that I will work on is using digital tools for the right purposes, I would like to use the Ipad more often and practising imovies.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL!!!

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) A cup

2) Water

3) Popsicle stick

4) Borax

5) String

6) Warm water

7) Spoon

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup or glass

Step 2: Put 3 tables spoons of borax and 1/2 cups of water

Step 3: Add the ingredients to your cup or glass

Step 4: Mix all the ingredients together with a Popsicle stick

Step 5: Tie your string into a Popsicle stick

Step 6: Make a snowflake or a star with your pipe cleaner

Step 7: Put your star or snowflake into the borax and water solution

Sugar Crystals

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) 4 spoons of sugar

2) String

3) A cup

4) Warm water

5) Popsicle stick

Process

Step 1: Get a cup

Step 2: Measure four table spoons of sugar into your cup

Step 3: Ask a teacher for a half cup of warm water into your sugar

Step 4: Mix the solution with your Popsicle stick

Step 5: Tie a string onto the middle of the Popsicle stick

Step 6: Dip the string into the water and rest the Popsicle stick across the cup

Salt Crystals

Ratio: 4 Tablespoons salt to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) Salt

2) Popsicle stick

3) A cup

4) Warm water

5) String
6) Spoon
7) 

Process

Step 1: Get a cup

Step 2: Measure four table spoons of salt into your cup

Step 3: Ask your teacher for some warm water into your salt

Step 4: Mix the ingredients together

Step 5: Tie a string into a Popsicle stick

Step 6: Dip your string in the water and rest your Popsicle stick across your cup

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	No crystals formed	No crystals formed	No crystals formed
Sugar	Long	Small	Hard
Salt	Tiny Shards	Tiny	Hard

What crystals worked out best and why?:

Conclusion:

After watching the videos as a class, explain how the following crystals are formed:

Type	Explanation
Salt	Sea wataer ponds sun evaporate salt
Sugar	Sugar Cane, Cut it up, Roll it/Squish, Get the juice, Heat it, Syrup, Crystallisation
