Activity: Cookie Mining

Material:

1.  Toothpick
2.   Cookie (with choc chips)
3.   Plate

Steps:

1. Put the cookie on the plate
2. Start mining the choc chips without breaking the cookie in any way
3.   Collect as many as you can
4.   Whoever collects the most is the winner
5.   (Goal is to not break the cookie)

Findings: What did you find out as a result of your mining?

It is very hard to mine the cookie without breaking it. 

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, I have found out that we need to find more ways to gather valuable resources for our vehicles.  I think this because it is helping us but not the environment it may sound like nothing at the moment but in the future generations, it will get worse so we need to change now.  This is what I think thank you and bye.

What is beep test?

On Tuesday for P.E, Sh and Ds did the beep test.  The beep test is to test our fitness.  We ran back and forth in a limited time.  The length that we had to run was 20 meters.  As the beeps went on it gave us less time to run. 

For me personally, I think that we should have a person that we really wanna beat and strife to beat him.  For me, that person was Nikora although he fitness levels were way better than mine I still tried to beat him.  His score was 9.5 and mine was 8.7.  All I want to say is that the beep test may sound easy but it is actually very difficult.

In conclusion, if you ever do the beep test just try your hardest and you will be just fine.  The beep test was hard but if you worry about yourself you will be algood.

Mental Well - being

The best person is either your guardian or sibling.  Or go online to see who you can talk to.  Show them that you are not happy then tell them why.

Making dirty water clean

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is the filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  Kettle
2.  Air
3.  Pool
4. Internet

Materials

1.Sand

2.pebbles

3.funnel

4.filter paper

5.cone

6.container

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle with scissors to make a funnel

Step 2

Put the top half upside down that creates a funnel inside the other half

STEP 3

Fold the filter into quarters so it creates a funnel when opened

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of sand and pour it into the funnel that you have made with the filtered paper

STEP 5

Pour some pebbles on top of the sand filter but make sure it doesn't come out the side and stays in the middle

STEP 6

Pour the dirty into the funnel slowly and it the water is dripping that means that you have done an excellent job

Findings

We failed on our experiment and the water went into the other half really fast which meant that we didn't take our time and rushed it.

Minutes                          1.                         2.                   3.                    4.                       5.
Drops per minute: All in one
Watercolor: Brown
Conclusion:

In conclusion, I would like to say that I rushed it and it didn't work out.  All the dirty ran straight through and it and made a brownish colour at the other half of the bottle.  I think that if we take our time we will be able to accomplish it a high standard.  I would like to finish off with this experiment was fun and when I do this again I will take my time.

Food Pyramid

The Food Pyramid.

In drama, we do two different things like drama and Hauora.  Hauora is four in one special we have Taha Tinana(Physical Wellbeing), Taha Wairua(Spiritual wellbeing.), Taha Henengaro(Mental and Emotional) and Taha Whanau (Social Wellbeing).  These are essential for our own personal wellbeing.  On Tuesday we were focusing on Taha Tinana what we put in our body(Food)...

We were doing work on our food pyramid we started off by drawing what we think a food pyramid is.  I drew the different thing that we need in our body's.  So I divided it into it all into five sections one is Protein and more.  So this is my photo. (Don't Judge :)

Picture:

What it's supposed to look like:

Empathy

Empathy to us means to be able to fill someone else's shoes and know what they are feeling.  We show empathy by helping to motivate and encourage others to feel good about themselves.  I also think that empathy is a great way to make someone feel good about themselves.

This is my acrostic poem about EMPATHY:

Emotion
Motivate others to feel good about themselves
Putting yourself into someone else's shoes
Allowing your friends to talk to you
Talking to others
Honesty
Yellow/Happiness

Future teachers...

What sport were you presenting?

I and my team did netball.  We taught our modified sport to the other groups it was superb.

What modifications did your group do and why?

My group did netball.  But before you got to take a shot you had to put the ball between your legs twice, once under the left leg and once under the right.  We choose this because I thought that it would have been easier for putting it under the legs than doing some complex thing.

What went well?

Everyone that played our modified sport was happy and overwhelmed with the modified sport that we all played.  I think that made them have a great time which means that we also did.  I like how we all had a voice and if we or they didn't like it we would try to change the game a little so they did.

What would you change?

I would change the environment that we played in.  I would like to be put inside the gym to have an even better experience.  It would be nice because we would've been even closer to the drinking fountain.

What was the difference between the first session and second?

I think that everyone listened.  They all had a great time but the second time went more smoothly.

Reflection

I think that this all worked well because of the leadership roles I and my team have participated in.

Our stop to littering in Hornby

In your own words, what is the project?
 To make the community cleaner.  Creating art with rubbish.  By doing this we can create a higher standard for Hornby overall.  I also think that this will be good for us because we will make our minds more creative.

What's the purpose?
I think that the purpose is to make our community cleaner.  I also think that it is to show our community that if we can pick up rubbish then so can YOU.

How much rubbish do you think that we are going to collect? Why do you think that?
I think that we will be collecting at least 80 to 110 piece of rubbish.  I think that because we will be collecting from kyle park and our school.

What colors do you think we will see the most and why?
I think that we will be seeing a lot of transparent bottles, I think that because we all like to buy bottles and there most likely the transparent ones.  Such as value fizzy drinks, H2GO, and much more.

What type of art would you like to create and why?
I would like to create a flag with the different colored trash I find.  I will really be keen on creating different culture flags.

Bench Ball

Hi, today my class and I went into our gym to play two games. The games we played were Silly Bananas and Bench ball.  We had to listen and here is what skills I had to use to listen. 1. Eye contact 2. Stop look and listen 3. Pay attention.

My personal favourite Bench ball let me tell you why...  Bench ball is so competitive and it is using plenty of skills.  I use some of my basketball skills and having to run from side to side.  What is bench ball?

Bench ball is when you have to pass the ball around to get it to the person standing on a bench, you pass all of the balls around to get it to that person. You are also not allowed to touch the person holding onto the ball. If you're wondering how to score points you have to throw the ball to the bench person and if the bench person caught it that means that the person that threw it has to stand on the bench as well.  You have to get your whole team onto the bench.

I am tall and that means that I have an advantage against the other team.  I love basketball so that means that I will spike the ball out of the air which has been thrown to the bench person.  I hit the ball out of the air.  You also have to be really quick to be able to get the ball or to get to the other side as fast as you can so you can receive a pass.

What skills do you need to play bench ball?  You need to be able to run from side to side as quick as you can.  So when you run you also need to be looking at the ball at all times.

So all I can say is bench ball is a great game and you should play it yourself.  To finish off I would like to say what is your favourite sport and why?
