Digital Tech Hurumanu Post 1

Last week we started on Digital Tech Hurumanu. In this hurumanu we are working some issues. The issue that I chose is homelessness.

Here are some questions that I answered in this doc. Doc

And here is my learning log in this doc. Doc

P.E Week 6

This week for P.E we have been working on choosing a sport or game in our teams to play. We chose a game called bench ball. We had to work on making drills and warm ups. This week was quite fun. I showed teamwork by helping out people if they needed help and played the games well.

Barrett Family

Today we started on a task and we had learn about the Barrett family and we had to watch a video here. Video.  Mainly Zara. Zara has down syndrome. Down syndrome is a rear disease were you have growing disorders and a speech impediments and much more. The Barrett brothers said that even though she has down syndrome we still treat her the same.

All Blacks Message

Last week we started on making posters and videos for the All Blacks for C.I.P
This week Anton Leonard-Brown shared a video. Here it is
 










I am really inspired from this video.

P.E Week 5

This week we started P.E hurumanu for the second. The first thing we did was the fitness test. We started on Monday and did 4 and we did the the beep test today. Here are my results.

Vertical Jump
    M1:2.

     M2: 2.2

Sit and Reach: 10cm Sit Ups: 2 Grip Test: 0 Beep Test: 2.8

The hardest thing was the beep test. Running was my weak point. We record this to see what my fitness results are next time and see if I have improved.

I worked successfully with others because I encouraged people when they were struggling and that helped them out.

Today we had to make something to send to the all blacks

Here is mine.

Today For C.I.P we learned about the All Blacks. We had to write down some facts.

L.C.S

For the past week I have been working on my learning conference slides. They are here show some great work to my parents. Here it is.

C.I.P

Today for C.I.P we are working on wellbeing. Our project was to send a letter to someone we care about. I wrote to my teacher Miss Birtch. Here is my letter:

Miss Birtch 

Dear Miss Birtch. I am writing a letter today to talk about how you are a great teacher. One reason you are a great teacher is you always help out someone if they need help. You give us really interesting work like our reading right now. Another great reason is when we had the end of term one party. It was a really good party. You also give out heaps of stamps. I like how you have the prize box and give out the stars and then they get a prize.

That is all I can think of right now. Thank you for being a great teacher.

Clay Animation - Final Project - Art Week 3

Today I am going to show you me and my groups final animation 

for art. We have been working on this for seven weeks. First we had to think about our script. Then we had to start making our props with clay. First we made the car and then we made the people. After we had made the props we had to do our backgrounds. Then we started recording. The first recording was to short so we restarted. Then we added the end scene. Then voice over. The voice over took ages to get good. But this is as good as it can get. We did this because it was our project for art. This video is about Manaakitanga. Which means being kind and helping out.  I really liked the outcome and liked making the video with my friends. It was a really fun project and turned out really good. Enjoy!

Kids Can - What they do

Last week we were working on a mufti day for kids Can. Click here for link. This week we got given a task to write down some facts about Kids Can. Here is my work:

Science Week 1 Term 3

Today for science we are doing work on water cycle bags.

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. Water/soda water  
2.  bag
3.  food colouring
4. vivid
5. sand
6.  litmus paper

Steps:

1.  Get vivid and bag from teacher.
2. draw water cycle on bag and label it .
3. get one cup of soda water or water and put in water.
4. add two drops of food colouring.
5. in bag 2 put litmus paper.
6. hang bag up on the window.

Two Images:

Findings:

	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	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Comments 

1.Bag 1 cycled 

2.Bag 1 had a small amount of cycle                       

3.Bag 1 had no acidity

4.Bag 2 cycled
5.Bag 2 had a small amount of cycle

6.Bag 2 had lots of acidity

7.Bag 3 cycled
8.Bag 3 had a small amount of cycle

9.Bag 3 had no acidity

Conclusion 

Bag 1 had a little bit of water and cycle and had no acidity. Bag 2 had a little bit of water and cycle and had lots of acidity. Bag 3 had a little bit of water and cycle and had no acidity. 

Definition of ACIDIFICATION: process of becoming acid

DEFORESTATION meaning: clearing trees

2 Pictures:

 how it affects the water cycle. People burn the wood and it turns into carbon dioxide

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. 4 cups 
2. pin  
3.  pencil with eraser 
4. tape  
5. 4 straws  

STEPS

1. Tape the straws together in a shape like this ➕  
2.   put cups on straws going the same  direction
3.   put pin through straws 
4. put on  eraser on pencil
5.    use

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	5	10

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

Night Vision - By Ella West.

For reading this term i am reading a book could night vision. We have to do 3 tasks every 3 chapters. Here is my work. I have finally finished reading the book and done all the tasks. I have really enjoyed this book.
