Today I designed and cut out a koru and drew some different koru designs.

Worked with: Sharleze, Meadow & Cortney

Tools used: Chisel, Mallet, Saw, Cheese grater,

I just started my koru today but I have made lots of progress and I have learnt that you have to be careful with your stone in case it breaks. I have finished my koru and I am onto my harakeke design

Hunt For The Widerpeople

LO: In English we are learning to think critically to identify and describe the key aspects of a visual text

This is my slideshow on different film techniques

1. We looked at images on google of different types of puzzles to give us a fair idea on what we were gonna do.
2. We drew on a piece of paper the measurements, so we could practise what we would do on the real wood.
3. We just went and drew the lines on the wood.
4. After we had drawn them we were told how to cut it with the saw machine and done it.
5. We then sanded and put this liquid stuff over our blocks of wood then we put them together

Storytelling

Why do cultures tell stories?

• Cultures tell stories for many different purposes including entertainment, education and also to show forms of moral values. Getting told stories teaches us about man different things like our culture, how things worked before we were here and many different other things, that is why it is important.

What is the purpose?

• The purpose of storytelling is to have all knowledge go from generation to generation so that culture stays alive and people are aware of many different stories.

English

Meadow and I also made a project for the magic pot.

We used numerous things like paint, stickers, felt paper, clay and heaps more.
Along with making this project we wrote the story to it as well. The story is on the last page of the slide.

Science

Aim: To observe xylem tissue and drive that they transport water up the plant.

Equipment: One stick celery with the leaves still attache, a retort sand, boss head and clamp, a petri dish, water, food colouring, a knife or scalpel.

Method:

1. Make a cut across the base of the celery stalk to expose a new section of the stem.
2. Fill the petri dish with water and add a few drops of food colouring.
3. Place the celery stalk in the petri dish and gently clamp it in place using the resort stand, boss head and clamp.
4. Leave the stalk undisturbed for 24 hours
5. Remove the stalk from the clamp and petri dish. Cut the stem about 1/3 of the way up the stem.

Refraction

Investigating Refraction - Bending Light
Aim: To investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is travelling through.
Method: Collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

Science

INVESTIGATING REFRACTION THROUGH LENSES

Aim: To investigate how different types of lenses refract light.

Method:
1. Set up ray box, triple-slit ray slide and power supply.
2. Place the convex lens in the space below. Place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the three rays of light at the lens. Make sure the central light ray hits the lens at 90 degrees at indicated in the diagram.
3. Carefully trace the direction of the                 incoming and refracted rays.
4. Repeat using the concave lens.

Observing Reflection in Curved Mirrors

Concave Mirrors:
Concave mirrors have the shiny surface on the inside of the curve. When looking at a tablespoon, the bowl of the spoon is concave.

Convex Mirrors:
Convex mirrors have the shiny surface on the outside of the curve. When looking at a tablespoon, the back of the spoon is convex.


Aim: To investigate the reflection of light rays in concave and convex mirrors.
Method: 1. Set up ray box, triple-slit ray slide and power supply.
2. Place the mirrors on your book as indicated below. Place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the 3 rays of light at the mirror.
3. Ensure that the middle ray of light is hitting the mirror at a 90 degree angle.
4. Carefully trace the direction of the three incident rays and the three reflected rays.

Science

Findings: The angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.

Aim: To investigate how light behaves when it hits a plane (flat) mirror




Method

 1- Collect a ray box, power supply and single slot ray slide from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

 2- Place a plane mirror on the diagram of the protractor as described below.

3- vary the angle of incidence and record the angle of reflection in the results table.

GOOD FATS VS BAD FATS

• Small amounts of trans fats naturally occur in dairy products, beef, veal, lamb and mutton. 
• Monounsaturated fats can lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. 
• High levels of bad cholesterol can lead to heart disease so monounsaturated fats can protect the heart.
• Saturated fat can raise bad cholesterol levels.
• Trans fats are so bad that some cities have banned them from restaurant foods.

SUGAR

Sugar can effect your Brain, Mood, Teeth, Joints, Skin, Liver, Heart, Kidneys, Body Weight and much more. Sugar consumption also promotes inflammation in the brain, gut, and body, which can lead to chronic physical and mental health problems. 

English

Lately in English I have been working on my static image, mine is mostly about the quote from the book Abomination "You Can't Keep Secrets From God". I am still in the design process for this and so far I have drawn a bible and a cross on the top and I will be adding the quote to the image today and also adding colour.

Protein- any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds which have large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, etc and as enzymes and antibodies.

Studies show that eating a high-protein diet has a number of health benefits. The benefits of protein in your diet not only help you maintain and lose weight, but protein also works to stabilise your blood sugar levels, improve your ability to learn and concentrate, reduce brain fog, boost your energy levels, support your muscles and bones and support the absorption of important nutrients.

In almost every food

High-protein diets may promise weight loss, but it may only be short term. Excess protein is usually stored as fat while the surplus of amino acids is excreted. This can lead to weight gain over time, especially if you consume too many calories while trying to increase your protein intake.

What happens if I don’t get enough protein?

Protein deficiency is mostly caused by essential amino acid deficiency. Deficiency of each of the nine essential amino acids causes distinct symptoms. Deficiency of any of them prohibits the synthesis of a variety of proteins.  Without protein, the human body cannot function normally.

Early signs of protein deficiency include:

• Muscle loss (unexpected weight loss)
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Uneasiness (anxiety)
• Anaemia

Science

The particles move more when they're hot and spread out more.
The water also becomes lighter so it rises up.

I was curious about what life would be like living in a cult, so I decided to read someones story they wrote about what their life was like growing up in a cult, in her story she talked about how they would have to sit in 4 hour meetings every morning and how they found it normal and that people not living in the cult they thought were weird. She was born into the cult and knew no other lifestyle so assumed that it was completely normal.

Drama

SSR English

Today in English for sustained silent reading, I chose to read an article from stuff about a 1 year old baby being flown to hospital in the Bay of Plenty after falling out a car window, the car was stationary at the time and the baby has suffered head injuries. The authors purpose was to inform the reader, the target audience is more adults.

Today in English for SSR, I chose to read another article from stuff, it was about an Otago man being swallowed by a sudden hole, the guy was feeding his goldfish when suddenly he just dropped into around a 3metre hole, until someone nearby hear him screaming and helped him. the author's purpose was to inform the reader the target audience is more adults.

Today in English I read about a car crash in Kawerau, a man died in a serious crash, the crash was caused when the police caught a driver speeding and attempted to pull them over, but the vehicle sped off and police pursued. During the pursuit the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree and died. The authors purpose was to inform, target audience is more adults.

Diffusion

When you heat metal the particles get bigger and it expands because it absorbs the heat energy we proved this by heating a brass ball over a bunsen burner and the brass ball before we heated it fitted through a ring but after we heated it didn't fit.

What does Matariki mean?

Matariki has two meanings, both of which refer to the cluster of stars. Mata Riki means Tiny Eyes, and Mata Ariki means Eyes of God.

Matariki is a time in the year where you get to see the seven stars but only sometimes

Chromatography Experiment

Last week we done the leaf experiment that unfortunately didn't work. Today our experiment worked a lot better, we done an experiment to separate colours so we started by drawing a dot of a few colours on the paper then put it in water but making sure the colour didn't touch the water we kept it just above, it stayed above the water with the support of the sticks. It didn't take very long and the colours began to separate and it worked out good.

Filtering Water
Meadow & Hinepu

This experiment was to try and get dirty water in  to drinking clean and clear water. We used a water bottle, paper towels, plastic cups, cloth and dirty water. We tried heaps of different techniques like using cotton buds, but they ended up just absorbing the water which meant it wasn't going back into the cup. Ours worked well but we are going to try again to get even clearer water.

We had to modify the project heaps especially when we left our project and other people put dish washing liquid in our cup that was gathering the water, but thats okay we just got a fresh cup and new paper towels and re - done it. Then Mr Guy told us about double filtering it by putting the water through again so we tried it and it worked so good our water was very clear.
