EOTC day's Reflection

Last week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we had different EOTC days, plus we even had to wake up early for those three days and trust me when I say this, I was tired.

For my Kahui we had Adrenalin Forest on Wednesday with Tieke. The bus ride was 25mins and as we got to our destination we then firstly had to go to spencer park while Tieke goes and do Adrenalin forest. I had lots of fun at spencer park since it was basically free time and we get to do whatever we want basically. After we had to go to adrenalin forest but we had to do a quick tutorial first before we start going to the courses. We observed and I went straight to level 3 with Jack and Emily, we had some fun and I'm surprised I wasn't scared of heights because usually, I am, I basically relied on the equipment too much that I wasn't afraid of the high courses. After Adrenalin Forest, I felt tired since we were basically playing and having fun for the whole day.

Thursday we had Jellie park, first of all, it was a 20min drive to Jellie park plus it was a great day to go swimming because it was so hot, it was about 27 degrees but I think it was a bad idea for me to get out early because the water was so cold and my body wanted to get warm. The Weather started getting hot during the evening and I went into the pool when it was cloudy so that is why my body was cold. It was fun but it kinda got too boring since there were fewer activities but the hydro slides were fun and exciting.

Friday we were Touring in Christchurch with Riroriro. It was a 20min drive to the city and Riroriro was doing the same thing but in the opposite order that we got. After we got out of the bus we got handed paper for a scavenger hunt, on the paper was things we had to discover and more. Next, we went to the garden to look at some cool things for our scavenger hunt there were flowers and trees but my hayfever started kicking in so I didn't really enjoy it. After we had gone to the canterbury museum we discovered animals, minerals, etc. Then finally, we had walked to Margaret Mahy park and we were basically just playing until it had passed the time, and while I was playing n the flying fox apparently people were doing a race or something for a prize, others had an idea to catch an eel in the river which was cool, it was like a movie to watch. 

Reflection:

Overall the EOTC days were fun and exciting and it was a thought out plan to go out with the whole Kahui. The best day, in my opinion, was Adrenalin Forest since you can push yourself to the limits and have fun along with the courses. The only challenging thing is the adrenalin forest course where the things you had to stand on wriggled around and where you had to clip yourself back on since there was this metal thing in the middle of it and I don't know if it was intentional but I'll say it was. I would do this again since it was a lot of fun hanging out with the whole kahui and playing around at the same time not having to do any school work. What I learned during the city trip was interesting stuff like that tv you can touch that has heaps of information about our beloved city Christchurch, animals, art, and even more.

Thank you for the teachers and especially the Miss Tozer who organized this for these days!

I guess this is the only photo of me the guy with the black hair is me I'm a very sneaky boy that doesn't want to be on camera with my back shown.

Symptoms of the Black death

In Choas, we have been tasked to know info about the black death

Types of plague/3 strains of the black plague

1.  Bubonic: Causes a swollen/inflamed lymph nodes in the armpit and groin

2. Pneumonic: Affects the lungs.

3. Septicemic: is an infection within the bloodstream. 

Which century was the black death and what parts of the world did it impact?

Middle ages and Europe and Asia.

Who were the victims of the black death?

The black death target anyone it wasn't just a specific person.

How was the dead buried? 

They were buried in mass graves or thrown into a river.

What were the symptoms of the black plague?

First, Swelling called buboes appeared in the victim's armpits and groin. These were usually about the size of an egg but could sometimes be big as an apple. Then Bleeding under the skin caused dark blotches all over the body. The disease attacked the nervous system causing the victim to suffer spasms leaving the victim in terrible pain. Sometimes the buboes burst and a foulsmelling black liquid oozed from the open boils. When this happened the victim usually lived. However, in most cases, the victim suffered a painful death.

Credit Infographic

Today in business I have been tasked of making a poster about credit and also loans. This poster tells you the Pros and Cons about credit and a tip on how to find out who to get a loan from.

Just in case if you didn't get from what I'm saying, say if you borrow a loan from someone, are you able to pay it back once you used it? that's one of the questions. Another question is whether it is a need or a want. if for a want loss of money could occur or could put you into debt. You could probably just save up from work anyways. If a need, go ahead and spend it, this is for survival anyways.

Anyways this task was pretty quick and simple. I think I did well, the poster shows the pros and cons to credit also I could have changed your mind about credit good or bad you tell me, and even loan decisions on who can get one from even how to spend one. 

Do you think this will help make good decisions about who to get a loan from and how to spend it? if no please tell me why.

I have learnt this information in class and quite enjoyed making this poster.

City - Margaret Mahy

Margaret Mahy (1936–2012) is New Zealand's most celebrated children's writer. As the author of more than 120 titles - which have since been translated into 15 different languages. Mahy's readership is vast. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a librarian for over 10 years.

1. A Lion in the Meadow

A Lion in the Meadow is the first children's book written by the New Zealand author Margaret Mahy.

2. How much did the playground cost to build?

The total project cost exceeded NZ$40m, with NZ$19.6m for land purchase, NZ$1.3m for the demolition of buildings, and NZ$20m for land development, including NZ$3m for the playground itself. NZ$43.9m total.

3. Why was the Playground was named after her?

The playground is named for Margaret Mahy, New Zealand's famous children's author. After it was reported in January 2016 that the slide got so hot during sunny summer days that it blistered fingers, shade sails were installed.

The Park was once part of the Elsie Locke Playground, while the newly expanded area was named after Margaret Mahy, one of Canterbury's most-loved authors. Part of the Government's Recovery Plan following the earthquakes of 2010/11, the playpark is the largest playground in the Southern Hemisphere.

4. Where is Magaret Mahy from?

She is from Whakatāne. Whakatāne is a town in the eastern Bay of Plenty region in the North Island of New Zealand, 90 kilometres east of Tauranga and 89 kilometres north-east of Rotorua, at the mouth of the Whakatāne River.

8 rules Jellie park poster

Today I have been tasked to do an 8 rule poster about the pool. I am doing this for our trip to Jellie Park next Thursday.

Distillation Experiment

Today we are doing a Distillation experiment which includes Evaporation + Condensation. Evaporation is when liquid is turned into gas using heat in this experiment this is used to make a solid like the last experiment (Separating a mixture using evaporation). Condensation is when gas is turned into a liquid which his cooling the energy. Combined together this is called Distillation.

Aim: to separate a solution (Coke/Coke Zero) to form a solid + a Liquid.

Hypothesis: I think by evaporating the coke method. That both cokes will turn into a clear colour and make one of the coke a solid and liquid in the boiling tube because of the Distillation.

Using classic coke

Observations: Our observation was that when the coke started boiling. The steam from the gas bubbles started going through the tube into the boiling tube (evaporation). When the steam went into the boiling tube, the beaker full of ice went under the boiling tube and it started cooling/condensing the gas, making the gas turn to liquid again, but this time the liquid was more clear than coke. After the coke turned into a sludge-like material. This is Distillation.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was kind of correct I think. What happened was that the bunsen burner was making the flask full of coke boil. Then the gas bubbles started making steam then the tube started bringing the gas towards to boiling tube with the ice then condensing the gas    

Discovery Task: How gaming can affect your mind and body

For the last past month, we have been tasked to do research on any health topic to our liking. I and my partner then have to decide on what topic. We chose to pick on how gaming affects your mind and body.   

The first thing I did was to pick a topic which we did, and we had to choose 5 big questions that would be answered which is related to the topic. After there are three difficulty levels, these are rookie, pro, and finally legend and we, of course, chose legend. 

When we chose our 5 big questions, we then had to research the information about the topic to answer these questions. After we did the researching, we had choices on how we are going to present the work. I have chosen to make a cartoon strip on a google slide.

Here is my planning sheet with info and everything I needed for this presentation.

link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qmgy4mCvTVLkO2nJKlf59y3Zr880gqf3-Utdo1U3G10/edit?usp=sharing  

Reflection:

Well, first of all, picking the five questions was hard because we had to be specific on what topic it links to then modifying it, but unfortunately, my friend Jeff L was my partner for this topic and well he had to go back to China, so it made the work a little bit harder, but as you can see I have managed to get it all done during periods. I think I did well, I mean it would probably be a little bit better if my partner is here. 

Researching this stuff was kinda easy it was quite tricky writing these down though since I 'tried' to be informative and having fun at the same time with the presentation it's quite a weird balance between them, but I reckon that the outcome of this is pretty cool. 

Next time if I do this I would probably use better strategies to help cope since it's just basic ways to normally cope with gaming, but overall this has been a fun learning experience despite some human errors but the presentation made up for it, plus almost period of health I have been learning some new things on what gaming does to your mind and body, and of course, I have to end on a side note my work was something entertaining since we get to work on something I am interested about and I liked it.        

Planning a Social event

In business, I have been tasked of doing a social event plan, this involves a budget of $5k and we need to sort out how are we going to use our money, plus we are gonna need to sort out people who have specific careers like a DJ and security.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Venue: the location we are doing this is on a Hagley Park and its a firework show.

Start's at 5pm, ends at 10pm.

-$20 per hour security, hire 4 unarmed security guards, -$400 total.

-$2,500: firework show,

-$80 per hour: Bunnings Warehouse outdoor Verve Pallas 4 x 5W LED Spotlight, -$400 total.

-$0 Food trucks will be coming for free.

-$350 rent, Fence surrounding the area, 100m per fence (except entrance 50m), square shape.

-$755, plastic Seats 100x $5, plastic tables 50x $15 each.

-$140 each wheelie bin 3x, -$420.

-$30 plastic bins 3x 10 each.

-23 per hour clean up crew, $115 clean up after the show.

$5000 - $2500 - $400 - $400 - $350 - $755 - $420 - $115 - $30 = $30

Total Spent: $4970

Surplus: $30 

_____________________________________________________________________________________

This was a fun activity that involved budgeting. I think I did well in this because I did some calculations and  I had to research prices for specific services and products. When it comes to budgeting you have to be exact on what things you want/need to buy, example like how are people going to see and where are they gonna sit.

black death poster - No toilet paper

Today in chaos we have been tasked to make a single poster on one topic relating to medieval times. my Topic is when toilet paper wasn't invented yet.  

Slam Dunk Paragraph

 Slam Dunk Paragraph

What was life like as a peasant in medieval times? Well basically, this is an easy answer and everybody should probably know it’s Sad, Torture, Tiring, Stress, and non-hygienic. They always have to do the dirty work for the noble people so that they can live. Most importantly they were slaves to the noble people. The evidence is from a book (Epididmas through time) representing a peasants life and showing the POV of one, informing us the peasant’s jobs and hardship. Overall a peasant’s life was very grim and pitiful. 

How was torture during medieval times? Toture during the medieval times was a series of contraptions and equipment methods either to get the victim to confess something or to kill. One of the contraptions is called 'the rack', this contraption is used to stretch arms and legs. They do this by tying a rope to the arms and legs and they tie it to the wheel, they would crank the wheel and it would stretch the victim's arms and legs. This is used to make them confess information they would need and if they don't confess they will split in half. This is information was found in the 'Wikipedia'. Overall torture in medieval times was painful.

Separating a Mixture using Evaporation

Solute: Solid - Copper Sulfate

Solvent: Liquid - Water

A Solution is when a solid is dissolved into a liquid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aim: To find out what will happen to the Copper Sulfate

Hypothesis: I think that the Solute (Copper Sulfate Solution) will be dissolved because of the heat and it will be turned into a liquid instead of a solid since its being evaporated. The way we are doing this is basically the way on how to cook dumplings.

Equipment: Copper Sulfate Solution, 250mL Beaker, heatproof mat, evaporating basin, element.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the start of the experiment we started with a solution which is Copper Sulfate. Then we put 100mL of water (Solvent) into a beacker and we got a tiny bowl that's fits over the beacker and poured a quarter of Copper Sulfate into the tiny bowl. Next we put the beacker that has the tiny bowl over it, onto a element and turned it on. After that we observed it until it was boiling. When it was boiling we could see that the heat  has been evaportaing the water in the Copper Sulfate and leaving the solute there which is the crystals.   

My hypothesis is incorrect since I did not notice that the boiling water would evaporate the water in the Copper Sulfate. 

I kinda liked this experiment since it was something new and learning these types of things can be a little hard but if you understand them more you start learning about them more frequently.

Savings Animation

 Savings Animation

Today in Business Studies we have been learning about savings/budgeting. So I'm here to show you my learning so far, to you guys. Plus this might teach you something about savings. I have made a cartoon slide to show you the basic's of savings sit back relax and enjoy. 

So what is Savings and why is it important? Savings is basically an extra amount of money (income not spent) that you have but in a place where it is safe. You could use it to be more secure in life just in case a bump in the road might occur. This bump is thought to be bills and fees etc. 

How do you get a savings account? Well if you don't want to do it with you could just get a piggy bank or you could do this step by step savings account guide.

1. Compare your options. 

2. There are many financial institutions that offer savings accounts. 

3. Gather the required documents.

4. Choose a joint or individual account. 

5. Fund your account. 

6. Submit your application. 

7. Set up online banking. 

8. Interest rate. 

9. Fees.

(Mention choose a trustworthy bank of your choosing)

So what went well and what didn't go well during this? I guess what went well during this learning experience is that I could do an animation relating to this subject. What didn't go well is that it took a long time to make it. I feel like my learning is understandable to other people and I would like some feedback from people if it was difficult to understand or something I missed, it would be highly appreciated. I have used one website for this, the link is underlined and blue with the word guide if you wanted to know. Plus I've already learned this but it was still fun.

Dilution Experiment

Definition of Dilution: Making something less concentrated. There will be less particles in the liquid.

A dilute solution contains a small amount of solute.

Filtration Experiment

Aim: Separate a mixture we have made using filtration.

Hypothesis: By filtrating, the mixture, which they are both liquids( Copper Sulfate & Sodium carbonate), the liquid will turn pale blue, it will not separate because they got the same size particles.

METHOD:

1. Pour approximately 50mL of Copper Sulfate solution into a beaker.

2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form called copper carbonate.

 

3.fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel

4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.

 

5. we Stirred the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel. 

6. Observe what happened.

(Hypothesis is wrong)

Results: We started with clear and light blue chemicals that were both see-through, then we mixed them and they went to a non-see-through solid in the water. Then we filtered them and we waited for the filtration to happen and finally, we saw that it made a clear liquid the non-see-through part was a solid, filtering it removed the solid which is the copper carbonate. Why did this happen? This happened because the copper carbonate was mixed into the Sodium Carbonate, which then has made the blue solid precipitate. After Filtrating the combined mixture the Sodium Carbonate has been separated from the Copper Sulfate because the Copper Sulfate has been turned into a solid. making the Copper Sulfate go down the funnel.

Copper Sulfate + Sodium Carbonate ----> Copper Carbonate + Sodium Sulfate + Sodium Sulfate.

PE Gymnastics

Today my focus is on some card activities in gymnastics The 3 activities where one was a roll through a hoop, and I did a flip of tramp onto a foam block, and also I managed to jump over the cone on the beam but I only did it once and couldn't get the recording because I was too scared to do it again.

Overall this experience was fun and I would do it again.

DTE Assessment Reflection

In DTE, My group and I have been assigned to do a Sphero project. This involves coding, construction, and participation. 

We were thinking of building the Mad Max vehicle but then we decided to build a colosseum. After we made our plan we needed some parts for our project,. Then I started to look for some printout paper on google. I had found some of the parts of the took a millennium and it basically took li colosseum on google, but then we needed Mr Carter to print them out. As soon as Mr Carter printed them out we started cutting the parts of the paper we needed, but we had a few human errors during some periods. It has taken quite some time since cutting spike strips precise 7 - 8 minutes just to cut 1 spikey strip. So... this took a really long time and it was basically just us cutting paper for like periods, plus we didn't even know if we were going to finish on time. I could say this is a catastrophe but we tweaked with the plan, this time we changed the plan and now it's way different this time we thought of cardboard in our idea, and we could basically shape it to what we want, so that's what we went with. To keep in mind we were still using some of the paper for the decoration so we could make the cardboard look more authentic, but the coding was still a problem. We didn't really know what to do besides the move feature so we started practising with some features with the sphero app. 

Personal Reflection:

Overall this has been a fun learning experience coding and constructing and I would probably do this again because it was quite interesting to learn. It was kinda hard coding and we didn't really know what to do so we basically just made them clang into each other by just making the Spheros move into each other with these codes. Although the cutting was the worst part, those spikes had my butt clenched cause you had to be so precise. 

What our plan was gonna look like originally but much bigger:

Budgeting Guide

Welcome to my blog and today's post is that I have been working on a budgeting guide that might help your budgeting plan succeed, and it might help you learn some new tips and tricks.

What is budgeting? A budget is the amount of money you can spend on future plans like parties etc. This is a very important thing that everybody should learn just in case you got a future event you have. But why do we need a budget? and How does it help us? Well here is a warning if you don't have a budget, you'll probably end up spending money that you don't even know how much you are spending, leading you to spend a lot. So you should use budgets to know how much you are actually spending, and here's why I made this poster/infographic, its to help you and teach you some tips and tricks about budgeting.

What can we do? (to budget) 

1. Step 1: Note your net income. The first step in creating a budget is to identify the amount of money you have coming in. 
2. Step 2: Track your spending. 
3. Step 3: Set your goals. 
4. Step 4: Make a plan. 
5. Step 5: Adjust your habits if necessary. 
6. Step 6: Keep checking in. 
7. This is on my poster/infographic.

As I was learning I have learned some tips, tricks, skills, etc. like for an example, and I've also learned how to organize a budget and more, and I also had some fun overall this experience was a fun learning experience and this could help me one day with budgeting. What went well in this assignment is that I get to be creative, and I guess what didn't go well is that I had to end up doing this on the weekends which is Halloween because I tried to be too creative. I hope this poster/infographic taught you something today :).

Hey guys what did you think of this post, did it go well or did it go bad if so could you please give some feedback down in the comments it would be highly apprenticed. Also, I only used google for the help of these answers.  

Anyways have a great Halloween Bye!

Gymnastics

 Today I focused on doing a rolly poly 

The 3 main points were: 

1. Bend towards from the same standing position and then lean forward and touch your hands to the mat with your legs sill straight. Only go as far as your bodily will allow.

2. Crouch down onto the mat with your hands on either side of your knees. Tuck your head into your chest. When ready, use your feet to slightly push you over.

3. Land on your feet. You will wind up back on your feet after one rotation and can continue to propel yourself forward to perform multiple rolls by repeating the previous step as many times as you’d like

Budgeting Crossword - BST

 Budgeting Crossword Puzzle

In business, I have been assigned to make a budgeting crossword. I have included the meanings to some budgeting keywords and you guys can try and figure out what these budgeting keywords are. 

After researching various amounts of these words/meanings relating to the word 'Budgeting' I had some fun learning these, mostly because I don't know some of them, also mainly these words are needed when your older to help with bills, money etc, but I guess its a good idea to learn about them now so we don't have to worry and stress when we get older.

Answers if you get stuck because I suck at writing definitions

Budget: An amount of money you can spend

Income: receiving money for doing a job/work

Savings: An Income not spent and instead of putting aside

Surplus: When you have more money than you need, example cash is money left over after you have paid all of your bills

Deficit: When there isn't a sufficient amount of money to cover all of the expenses and debts

Spend: To give money for goods or services

Wants: To have a desire to own or do

Needs: An absolute craving of man to possess

Finance: The management of large amounts of money, like from governments or large companies

Price Fees: A fixed price charged for a specific service

Necessity: A requirement to survive.

Exchange: To give up something for something else 

Oh and also Do you think this information was useful or not? Why/why not?

and one more thing to add I used google to help with these answers.

Mixtures & Dissolving

Today in chemicals we did an experiment that involves mixing & dissolving, But we must know what mixing & dissolving is. So basically two substances that are evenly mixed together. One of them is called the solute and the other is the solvent. A solute is a substance that can be dissolved (sugar) and the solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water)

On to the experiment we had 2 beakers (one large/one small)  one was to store the sugar and the other one was to hold cold water and hot water, also we had a spatula to put the sugar in the beaker. Our aim was to see how fast the sugar will dissolve into the water. Also, a reminder that there are multiple groups doing this experiment as well.

First, we had filled the large beaker with 50ml's of cold water. Then with the spatula, we put sugar in the beaker that was filled with cold water then stirred it. We also had to use a timer as soon as we put the sugar in and until it has fully dissolved we had to stop the timer to get our results. Our result was 59 seconds but the average result for this is 54 seconds. Then we did the same thing but with hot water and it went quicker than usual since the hot water was making the sugar make more space between them, and then our result was 25 seconds but the average time was 29.75 seconds.

We did the same thing again but without stirring the water, and our results for this are 90 seconds also with hot water but the average result was 76.2 seconds. Then we did the same thing again but with cold water and our results were 360 seconds and the average result was 136.8 seconds

Promotion - Market Mix

To promote our product we have made a poster on a slide so the teachers can print it out.

This is our advertisement poster. The main characteristics of our product/service are to throw sponges at teachers for fun/revenge and for a little prize. We hope to target students that had to have trouble with some teachers, as they will offer a good amount or they will continuously purchase the product. Our promotion strategy is to focus on digital art, and handwritten art so they will look at the eye-catching detail. Well you get the opperunity to throw a sponge at a teacher because the teachers will end up telling you off if you throw a wet sponge at them at them immediately. Our company focuses mainly on promotion.

 In chemicals we were assigned to do a stop motion slide on how Convection, Contraction, and Conduction 

My one is Contraction

Business & Enterprise Kete

B & E

For the past 3 weeks, we have been involved in the B & E Kete.

My role in this has been the marketing manager and what I did was, making the banner and decorating it, making a poster for market day, and I have also gotten cardboard for the teachers face since my dad works at a cardboard factory.

My company was called Chucky's Sponges.

Our product was throwing sponges at teachers.

My reflection on how the business went overall is that it went poorly because basically after we had talked to the teachers they had not come to the stand after they agreed to do it.

My reflection on the overall B + E is that the bad weather had made us all tired from the experience but kinda motivates the customers to buy some cold food/drinks.  

Place - Market Mix

We are doing our product/service in the grass area near the playground. This would be a good area because it's outside and since our product is throwing wet sponges at teachers/staff it's fine, also it can't really be inside or we'll be doing extra service on the carpet. The traffic for our place is pretty popular because lots of people hang out there, and there is sunlight, as people pass they will see that it's on a perfect location so they will probably think twice before walking past. No one has been doing the same product/service as ours probably because you need to get lots of materials. Our product/service will stand out nice because of our placement.

Price - Market mix

How did you work out what price you were going to sell your product/service at?

We worked out our product\sevice price because we asked the victims/teachers what the price should be, and also discussing to our group to vote on what the average price the teachers said. 

How will you ensure that your product is worth the price you are asking people to pay (quality control)?

Our product/service is worth it because we added a prize which is a bag of lollies but only if you hit the teacher, and plus you will get revenge/fun at the same time from the experience its a win, win.

What price are others (B&E group/real-world business) charging for the same good (use a table to show this)?

Group		Price
Fundraising games		$2 for 3 throws
Unknown		$3.50 for 3 throws
Unknown		$4.00 for 3 throws

Our group Price is

$1 for 1 sponge throw

$2 for 2 sponge

$2.50 for 3 throws

What else will you consider when it comes to the price of your product?

I'll say that the 3 throws are 50c cheaper than the $3 making it also worth the while.

Can Experiment

Today at chemicals we did a science experiment on a sprite can. 

Aim: To see what happens when you put a heated can in cold water.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis was that the can was gonna scrunch up.

We had hot water in a sprite can and cold water in an ice cream container. Then we put the can, filled with hot water in it on a stove to heat the can and water even more. Next, we put the can on the stove we waited till it was steaming hot. After it was steaming we put the water in cold water and we saw that the can has been crunched up. 

So what happened was that the can was filled up with hot water and was getting heated up at the same time because of the stove, making it so the particles were fast. Then the water was evaporating in the can making gas. As the cold water entered the can the fast-moving particles were then slowed down because of the cold water, causing the gas and hot water to contract to make the can crunched up.

I've done this experiment in my last school that's why my hypothesis was right.

Ki o Rahi

 History: The game of Ki o Rahi stems from the legend of Rahitutakahina and Tiarakurapakewai. Not many sports have legends as to how they were created, so this makes the game of Ki o Rahi unique. The legend demonstrates that sport is much more than a game. It is a tribute to our ancestors, our reo and our Māori culture.

2 Teams: Kioma and Taniwha

6 Rules of the game:

1. Played for 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams alternate roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half or quarter time.

2. Taniwha score a point by throwing the ki by throwing it at the barrel

3. Kioma score by touching the 7 pous with the ki

4. Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by either touching, 2 handed touches, ripping the tag or tackling them in the appropriate area.

5. Must be running with ki or if standing still they must pass in the next 3-5 sec.

6. Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu with the Kī. Kīoma will have Kaitiaki (guardians) around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. 

Product - Market Mix

Our product is a service that provides revenge and fun against the teachers and staff of Hornby Highschool. If they hit a special shot on a teacher they will get a prize and this prize is candy and mini drinks. We are targeting year 9's students and over so that they could have fun/get revenge on the teachers and staff. Our cardboard cutout is 2 by 2 meters, the sponges are a normal car sponge, and the bucket is a 1-litre bucket for water. The ingredients we need is a cardboard cutout for the teacher/staff's face, 2 sponges for the teachers/staff. Candy and mini drinks as the prizes. This comes to a total of $20 and we will expect to get a $15 profit from this. This product/service has already been done before and does require services because we are filling the bucket for them.

Particle Theory

Today we have been learning about the Particle Theory in chemicals 

Particles in a solid have no space and vibrate. Particles in a liquid have no shape but volume. Particles in a gas have no shape and no volume.

and here are the six rules of the Particle Theory

• All matter is made up of particles
• All particles in a pure substance are the same
• There is space between all particles
• Particles are always moving
• There are attractive forces between particles
• Temperature affects the speed at which particles move

Diffusion: movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration. So the temperature affects the speed of particles.

eg: Smelly feet for warm heat and cold = non-smelly feet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science experiment

My hypothesis is that the Potassium permanganate will spread in warm water faster than the cold water because it makes the particles fast while the cold water makes it slower.

Potassium permanganate in cold water it spreads slow and in warm water, it was faster than the cold water because the hot temperature makes is so that the particles go faster.

Growth Mindset

In the last two weeks, we have looked at Resilence - Emotional Awareness (understanding emotions) and Impulses. I have come to realize that Reslience means to recover quickly from difficulties, Emotional Awareness is the ability to recognise and make sense of not just your own emotions, but also those of others and Impulses means the ability to enhance or reduce your emotions as needed. It's the ability to know what you're feeling and what to do about it in any environment.

Being able to control my emotions in different situations avoids conflict and helps me have a better outcome/being assertive.  

Knowing how to react and respond in situations rather than acting in impulses means that to reduce or enchance my emotions as needed.

Lincoln C & Jeff L Sustainability Investigation

Sustainability Investigation 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our topic

Which part of the school has the most rubbish on the ground

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem/& Plan:

Identify a Sustainability topic you can investigate

Plan out how you will collect data

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan: Go around the school and find out where the most rubbish is. The area we are going to see is the field,  basketball courts, playground, etc, and we’ll put the numbers on a tally table then see where is the most area that has the most rubbish.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data Collection:

Collect your data.

Note any issues with accuracy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issues: are that we might miss some and that some of them don’t really count as rubbish

Table/ Tally chart

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis & Conclusion:

1x graph - either line, pie, or bar

Use data to answer your problem

Area	Total rubbish
Field	207
2 basketball court and 1 netball court	46
Between the Kahuis	13
Playground	53
Learning commons	23
Quad	223

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lincoln’s Conclusion: I’m more impressed with the results in the Quad because I know that a lot of people hang out there because it’s winter and all, and since that no one really doesn’t want to go to the field there is actually less rubbish in the field. The least rubbish is between the Kahuis. This comes to show that people need to put rubbish in the bin instead of just trying to hide it so that they don’t get in trouble making it. So basically they are just lazy and just can’t be bothered. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeff’s Conclusion: I’m surprised because I thought that field is more rubbish than the Quad because there are more people going to the field, but there is more rubbish at the Quads, I think the cause is because people always eating when they walk around and just put the rubbish on the ground, maybe they try to put the rubbish in the Quads to hide it so the teacher can’t see the rubbish and so the teacher doesn’t know is whos and the people put the rubbish in there don’t get into trouble.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advance: I think that we need to add more rubbish bin to the walkways and behind the fake grass hill so people can put the rubbish in the bin, not on the ground or the Quads, and I think people should get a small bag when they finish eating so they can put there own rubbish in their own bag.
