New Kahui building

25.9.19

On Monday we moved into our new kahui the builders have been building the new kahui for about two years also the learning commons took two years to be built in the new kahui there are a lot of classes in the new kahui there are 15 classes in the kahui and the kahui is for the whole school the kahui I am in is tieke the other kahuis are mohua and riorio

when I walked into our new buildings I saw?
 The first thing I saw when I walked into the new kahui is that there are still a lot of holes in the wall and some of the power sockets didn't work and some of the lights didn't work either and there was an upstairs for the teachers to work quitely also that we are working with another class and we have teared seating and lights on the back of the tv.

When I walked into our new buildings I thought?
That there are a lot of new learning spaces for everyone to use and there were a lot of classes in the new kahui that it was cool that they have led lights on the back of the tv.

Science blog

Today in science we watched a documentary about solar energy the documentary was one hour and 40 minutes long it was about solar energy and climate change thought the documentary it switched from 2019 to 2040 the guy that when from country to country asking kids what they would like to see in 2040.

What are 2 things you learned

I learned that seaweed can grow up to 50 meters and that each day it can grow up to half a meter

I also learned that you can trap carbon dioxide in soil because it will get trap in there.

What I would like to see in 2040?

What I would like to see in 2040 is that there is no pollution in the ocean so no sea animals die and world peace.

Title	Solar energy
Aim	To see what colour attracts the most heat
Hypothesis	I think that the colour black attracts the most heat because it absorbs everything coming in from the sun and the darkest colour.
Materials	1 White piece of paper 1 White cup 1 Black piece of plastic 1  clear cup and Black cover Piece of tinfoil Cup covered in tinfoil Heat lamp 100mls of water in each cup thermometer And a timer
Steps	Step 1 Go to the teacher and get the material Step 2 Get plastic cup with tinfoil on it  Step 3 get a foam cup and a clear cup  Step 4 Find a place to plug your heat lamp in  Step 5 full all of your cups up with 100mls of water   Step 6 Get a thermometer Step 7 cheek your temputer every 15 minutes
Data/Findings	Findings: Time  Cup 1 White Cup 2 Black Cup 3 Tinfoil 0 16 16 16 15 20 25 19 30 20 35 20 45 20 30 20 What happened in the plain plastic cup for 15 minutes it was 20 then 30 minutes was 20 then45 minutes was 20 again What happened for the black cup was 15 minutes was 25 then 30 minutes was 35 then 45 minutes was 30.
Conclusion	In Conclusion my findings in this experiment state that black attracts the most heat because A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. Over in hotter countries, they don’t want to paint there houses black because it attracts the most heat so they paint their house white or silver.

wood tech

In wood tech we have been doing some really cool work out of wood I made 2 things they where tringle on a stick and a turtle car.

Tane Mahuta

Today in Tane Mahuta we have been doing a lot of work in the garden and the classroom. The first thing we did was go to the garden and started to pull the weeds out of the garden and there were a lot of weeds in the garden then we went to morning tea.

After that, we went back to the garden then we started to plant some broccoli, lettuce and celery I did this with my friends Levi, Tyson Hunter ms and me and there where other people but I can't remember their names.

After that, we went back to the garden part that had the weeds in it but there weren't as many weeds left but there was still a good amount left.

Then I went to clean up some branches and put them in a pile the people that helped me were my friends Levi, Tyson Hunter ms and I also helped also the teacher aid mark helped us as well.

My favourite part of today was when I got to help put the plants in the Ground the plants were broccoli, lettuce and celery we also started to plant some flowers.

Ella west visit

Today in P1 we went to the auditorium and Ella west was there to talk to the year 7/8s about her books one of her books are night vision and rainfall.

Ella west has her own sheep farm, also when she wrote her first book it took her 3 years to make she also had to rewrite Her whole book, she has a dog with two different eye colours.

The book night vision was made in 2014 and it has her own dog as one of the characters and the dog has two eye colours one is brown and one is blue.

The book Rainfall was only made last year in 2018
also, the book cover is made out of 3 photos from clip art also this book was basted in NZ and it is about a coal mine and 1000 people lost there job.

The part that I enjoyed the most was when we learned that she makes stuff up about a place and people think that it actually happened there.

Water cycle exp

Last Friday we did an exp that was where we had to draw the water cycle and add 1/4 of water into the bag and then put blue food dye in the bag.

Title	Water Cycle
Purpose	To make a water Cycle to see what happens
Materials	Exp 1 1x Get a ziplock bag 1x Get a vivid and draw the Water Cycle 1 drop of blue food dye ¼ cup of cold water 1x A jug 2x Get two pieces of double-sided tape Exp 2 1x Get a zip lock bag 1x Get a vivid and draw the water cycle 1x get Litmus paper and put it in the corner of the bag half in and half out  Get ¼ of water into my bag  1x get 1 drop of  blue food dye in it  Move the bag around to mix it Get double-sided tape Put it on the window
Steps	Exp 1 Step 1 1x Get a ziplock bag and write your teams names on the top Step 2 Draw the water Cycle on one side of the bag Step 3 unzip the ziplock bag Step 4 Go to the teacher and get ¼ of cold water in the bag Step 5  Put one drop of blue food dye in the bag Step 6 Mix the food dye into the water Step 7 Get the double-sided tape  Step 8 Go to Miss Shehata and get her to take the other side off Step 9 Get  Miss Shehata to put the bag on the window Step 10 Wait on the mat for the teacher Exp 2 Step 1 1x Get a zip lock bag Step 2 1x Get a vivid and draw the water cycle Step 3 1x get Litmus paper and put it in the corner of the bag half in and half out Step 4 Get ¼ of water into  your bag  Step 5 1x get 1 drop of  blue food dye in it the bag around to mix it Step 6  2x get two pieces of double-sided tape Step 7  1x Put ¼ of baking soda in the bag Step 8 Close your bag tightly  Step 9  Put the double-sided tape on your bag Step 10  go to Miss Shehata and get her to put it on the window  Step 11 Wait on the mat for the teacher
Conclusion	Exp 1 I think the outcome of the exp will be?   That the water will flow up higher in the bag because of the moisture from the side of the bag. Exp 2  I think the outcome of the exp will be?  That the water will flow up higher in the bag because of them from the side of the bag and the Litmus paper will make it change colour.

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	2	3	0
Amount of Water	3	2	0
Acidity	2	1	0

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

For bag one

Conclusion: Today for science we finished or water cycle exp the normal water cycle had good results from the cheeker where the 2 small change  then we got 3 that is large change and then we got two again then1 is no change then for the second bag we got 3 that is large change 2 that is small change then we got 1 that is no change

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials:

1. 1 plastic bottle
2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
3. 1 heat lamp
4. 1 Thermometer
5. 100 ml of water
6. 1 rubber bung

Procedure:

1. come and collect all materials from Mr palmer
2. setting up the lights, bottles, thermometer and bungs
3. Mr palmer adds the baking soda mix with 100 ml of water
4. wait for 5 minutes and start recording the temperature

variables:

all water added to the bottles from the classroom tap.

Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data.

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
0	18	18
5	20	24
10	21	26
15	22	26
20	no recording	no recording
25	no recording	no recording
30	no recording	no recording
35	no recording	no recording
40	22	33
45	no recording	no recording
50	no recording	no recording

Conclusion:

The normal bottle of water didn't heat up as fast as the co2 bottle and the co2 causes climate change.

  

Fossil fuels

Today in science we were learning about climate change.

Transport: most cars need gas or diesel to work gas is made from oil which is a fossil fuel.

Cows: create a gas called methane and it is 25x stronger than carbon dioxide.

Food: we need food to survive and is transported by trains planes trucks and ships and adds carbon dioxide.

Factories: make clothes cars electronics and processed foods that create a lot of pollution.

Electricity: can come from renewable sources out of water wind and sun fossil fuels release co2 into the atmosphere.

Waste: our landfills are growing and use good land and there are gases that contribute to climate change.
