The last performances

Hi bloggers today in Drama we had the last performances I was with Jesse.J, Daniel, Tavite and Hans joined us because he had nobody to go with and my group had no idea what we were doing no idea what we were doing. It was a lot of fun to do it I wish we could still do it but we can't maybe we will do it next year hopefully heres a video for you. if the video is still up loading click the blue video.

Learning Story on Science

Hi bloggers today this blog post is about science learning story it has my favourite and second favourite science experiment.

The last few weeks in Hurumanu science we have been doing really fun experiments like the dirty water one.

My favourite experiment I did was the scone experiment because we got
to eat them at the end, but they didn’t taste good. What we had to do was either with or without lemonade
and with or without butter,
we did normal scone and lemonade scone.

The next time we did science we got to measure the scones and eat the scones that is why it was my favorite.
My team was me, Matangi and Nathan we worked really well together.

See, so yummy but not the ones we made.

My second favourite was the crystals. I did the borax one but it didn’t work so that was depressing but its still my second favorite.I liked learning about home chemistry and the different categories that come under it and I would learn it again. Also I like having science because we do really fun activities. BLOG YOU LATER!!!

Drama practice

Hi bloggers today in drama we were practising doing miming or a news reporter. In my team was me, Daniel, Jesse.J and Tavita but Tavita went to help Hans so that is all good and Jesse.J just keep walking not doing anything so it was just me and Daniel. We decided to do both I was being the mime and he was reporting me. It was pretty fun and next week we are going to record it on Friday I think. I will add in photos when we next do blogging after we record it. BLOG YOU LATER!!!

Cleaning up around our school

Hi bloggers today in C.I.P we cleaned up  around our school me Zack and Daniel cleaned the field we didn't get to do all of the field but we did some of it we didn't get much time too and did you know this. We may be perceived as clean and green by the rest of the world, but we have significant problems in NZ. In New Zealand we discard 15.5 million tonnes of waste each year. That is 3,200kg for every kiwi! Right now we only recycle 28% of this waste. Did you know that? BLOG YOU LATER!!!

Voting on what to build out of rubbish

Hi bloggers Today in C.I.P we voted on what to build out of the rubbish we collected. The score was 20, 3 and 40+ the H representing our school got 20, birds + native animals got 40+, and send a little message to people that got 3.

so we are doing birds + native animals I am hoping to do a turtle I voted for birds + native animals what would you have voted for. here's a fact about turtles. Turtles are classified as amniotes, along with other reptiles, birds, and mammals. Like other amniotes,turtles breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. Do you think this is an a interesting fact? I think it is. BLOG YOU LATER!!!

puppets

Hi bloggers today I did a puppet show in my team was Jesse.J, Daniel and Tevita. It was really fun to make them and to do the show here is the video, and Jesse.J was the watermelon Daniel was the orange I was the owl and Tevita was super man and make sure you enjoy the 27 second video and Super food: Watermelon. Sweet and juicy, watermelon can do more than just refresh you on a hot summer day. This versatile fruit will help you get a dose of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.

So guys I hope you like this it was really fun to do and I hope I can do it again when im a year 8. BLOG YOU LATER!!!

Community Impact Project

Hi bloggers today C.I.P is doing some questions about rubbish because we are cleaning up around our community and then building something out of the rubbish.

In your own words, What is the Project?

The project is about Making stuff out of rubbish to help around our community. 

What is the purpose?

The purpose is to help our environment by picking up rubbish.

How much rubbish do you think we are going to collect? Why do you think that?

I reckon that we will collect a lot of rubbish because we really want to help around our community.

What colours do you think we will see the most? Why?

I reckon we will see grey and blue the most because when I go for a walk I see them the most.

What type of art would you like to create?

I would like to do a dog because they are my favourite animal.

Reflection: I thought that it was really fun to do and I hope you like it. BLOG YOU LATER!!!

Crystals

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) cup or glass

2) pipe cleaner

3) borax

4) Popsicle stick

5) string

6) warmish water 

7) spoon

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup or glass

Step 2: Put 3 table spoons of borax and half a cups of water

Step 3: add the ingredients to the cup

Step 4: mix it together with your Popsicle stick 

Step 5: Tie your string around your Popsicle

Step 6: make a star with your 3 pipe cleaners and tie this to your string

Step 6: Put your Popsicle stick on the cup and put the star with the string on it in the water.

Sugar Crystals

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) 4 spoons of sugar

2) String

3) Cup

4) Warm water

5) Popsicle stick

Process

Step 1: Get your cup

Step 2: Measure four tablespoons of sugar into your cup

Step 3: Add a half cup of warm water to your sugar

Step 4: Mix the warm sugar water with your Popsicle stick

Step 5: Tie the string to your Popsicle rest the stick on top of the cup

Step 6: Put the string into the warm sugar water.

Salt Crystals

Ratio: 4 Tablespoons salt to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) spoon 

2) cup or glass

3) salt 

4) Popsicle stick

5) string 

6) warm water

Process

Step 1: Grab a cup

Step 2: Put 4 tablespoons of salt

Step 3: Add warm water with the salt

Step 4: Mix it with your Popsicle stick until there is no more salt

Step 5: Tie the string to the Popsicle stick

Step 6: Put the Popsicle stick on top of the cup and then put the string into the water.

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	star	medium	hard and soft
Sugar	line	long	rock hard
Salt	line	Medium	rock hard

What crystals worked out best and why?: the salt because for sugar and borax need way more and the sugar is the hardest.

Conclusion: they were really easy but when they came out they didn't work so that sucks.

CRYSTAL TYPES

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE 7 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRYSTALS

Salt Crystals

Sugar Crystals

Borax Crystals

7 different crystal shapes

The 7 types of crystals

Type	Number of sides	2 examples	Image
Triclinic Definition:	7	a chimney a fence post
Monoclinic Definition:	10	a coffin glass pane
Orthombic Definition:	6	chocolate fudge toy blocks
Trigonal Definition:	10	coffin long crystal
Hexagonal Definition:	8	bird cage fold able box
Cubic Definition:	6	dice box
Tetragonal Definition:	12	glass encasing spinning magic box

Explain how the following crystals are formed?

Type
Salt	to make salt you need salt water then make it into a pond then let the sun evaporate it then you get salt. collect the salt.
Sugar	to make sugar you need some sugar Cain you cut the sugar Cain Sugar Cain, cut it up, roll it/squish, get the juice, heat it, syrup, crystallisation,
Snowflakes

Reflection: it was really easy but when it finished it didn't turn out good but these pictures are cool.
