Summary of History show

Today we were watching one of our videos in social studies. It was about the New Zealand Wars. Then the missionaries thought that there was a spy around them so they killed the man they thought was a spy. Then there was a Maori that was going to ambushing British and they killed seven people in 1864.

A bit later in the story, the New Zealand war was dragged on for about 20 years 3000 people died but 2000 of those people were Maori. There was also a man called Te Kuiti who stole a supply ship from the British in 1868  and then he started a war with the British.  Someone tried to stop the war but the Maori had an advantage because they already had a plan set out.

Matariki

Matariki is seven stars in the sky and they found two more stars in the sky. Matariki is a celebration for the Maori The Matariki and it's the star for the Heralds new year. And it’s also about celebrating family The coming of Matariki symbolized the harvest festival. You can see Matariki from early June before the sunrise lookout to the north-east hhorizon.

Maori-how to make a Hangi

In Maori, we are learning about how to make a hangi. First, you need to dig a hole in the ground for the food. Then you need to build a fire at the bottom of the pit using hardwood. After that pile volcanic rocks on top of the wood. Then Set the fire alight and leave it to burn. Once the fire has burnt out, the rocks should be white-hot. Then prepare the food. After that place, the food in the Hangi put the meat at the bottom and vegs at the top. Then cover the food with white cloths and they have to be wet and then put dirt on top then after 3 - 4 hours uncover the hangi, and remove the food and enjoy your Hangi.



Here is the link to the Matariki slide to show you what we have done in Maori.


Here is the screenshot of how to make a Hangi.

Tane Mahuta

Today in Tane mahuta some people were planting the vegetables for the garden. There where four vegetables one of them where cauliflower, broccoli, beetroot, cabbage and we had some people that we're cleaning out the shed that is going to be turned it to a classroom. There were some people that were weeding the garden with Mark and there were people that were using hammers to break up the wooden tables and throw them into a pile.

Science safety equipment

Today I am going to talk about safety rules in a science lab and some equipment that we use In a science hurumanu our science teacher Mr palmer Told us 10 of the equipment that we use in the science lab and 10 safety rules in the lab that we have to do. I didn't have time to do the rest

Here are some safety rules In a science lab.
1.No running in the lab because you could knock someone over that is holding a test tube or you could break something.
2. Keep your bag under your desk or a table.
3. If you brake a glass you should tell the teacher and then clean it up and not leave it for someone else to clean up.
4.No eating or drinking in and no smelling the experiments.
5. Only use the equipment that you are told to use.

Orana wildlife park

On Tuesday we went to Orana park the classes that we went with was ts,wh and my class sh we had to meet at the learning commons then we headed off but the class that went first was wh then ts finally we went on to the bus but the first bus was full so some of the ts had to come on the second bus so then we headed off the person I sat next to was my friend Tyson and my other friend at the front of the bus and my other friends behind me was hunter ms and Levi was in the front with his friend logan we where nearly there and we went over the bump Then we got there so we split up into our classes then a tour guide talked to us she let us in and have morning tea then we moved to a place to drop our bags of then we move on to our tour guide Richard he talked to us about climate change.

3 things I enjoyed about Orana park was going to see the gorillas because I like gorillas the second thing I enjoyed was seeing the meerkats playing around and standing on the wooden pole standing up also I liked the keas because they were playing around and standing near us.

ART Projects

For the last seven weeks, we have been doing some stop motion films and I am going to tell you about what we did for the last seven weeks. The first thing we did was get into the groups that the teachers put us in. After that, we had to talk about what we were going to do in our stories after we wrote a practice story about what we wanted to do in the stories. After that, we shared our stories with our group to find out what we were going to do with the story. Our ending idea was chicken nuggets vs burgers then after we started moulding the clay into our actors of the story we made the burgers then we figured out that none knew how to make a chicken nugget out of clay. So Khush decided to do dumplings and Christan, Levi and I agreed with the idea to make dumplings. Then we made all of the clay figurines.

Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which colour attracts the suns 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.  1 white piece of paper
2.  1 black rubbish bag
3.  1 piece of tinfoil that is flat
4.  1 foam cup 
5.  1 plastic cup covered with a black rubbish bag
6. 1 plastic cup covered in tinfoil around it
7. 1 thermometer

Steps

1.   Go to the teacher and get the material
2. Get plastic cup with tinfoil on it
3.  get a foam cup and a clear cup
4.  find a place to plug your heat lamp in
5.  full all of your cups up 
6.   get a thermometer and cheek the temputer every 15 minutes

These photos are from the experiment that I was doing. The experiment is called solar energy we had to get in a group of 3-4 so we could do the experiment we had to get the materials that we needed to start and finish the experiment we had to record the experiment work that we have done. 

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

Conclusion Today in science we did an experiment, first, we got all of our stuff that we needed   

Activity:

In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

measurement

This week we have been doing some measuring and estimating the first thing we had to measure was a hight my heart was about a metre 59 cm after we measure our height we had the measure the length of a desk and  the width of a desk then we had to measure a window the length of our stride  the length of a book and the length of a pencil.
