Hurumanu PE

In PE Hurumanu (were on each others team) we have been learning about Ki O Rahi. Ki O Rahi is a traditional Maori game. How to play Ki O Rahi there is an attacker team and a defender team. The attacker team grabs the ball and can step in the first circle of cones but they can't go through the gate way of cones there for the defenders. The defenders go and hit the pou/poles and score a try. There are two defenders that are guarding the drum where the attackers score.

my likes and dislikes about spelling

Hi my name is Brodie today I have to share my likes and dislikes about spelling.

likes

• I like the actives for spelling because it helps me with my handwriting.
• I like that if we get the word wrong you work on.

dislikes

• I don't like that we don't have that much actives.

integrity

Hi my name is Brodie and today i'm going to be talking integrity.

Having integrity means trying your best, doing the right thing when no one watching.

You can show integrity at school by listing to the teacher when no one is watching, being truthful and honest in ones actions.
Three ways I have shown integrity is trying my best even when I don't like the thing that i'm doing, Doing the right thing without being told and being a role model.

When the kicker kicks the ball he has to run all the way to the wall and you can stay their until you have to run. If you don't like the kick you did you can go to the safe zone the safe zone can only hold two people when the safe zone has two people in it one has two run if you get hit buy the ball your out.

GOALS: show commitment to physical activity.
                looking at the history of games.
                showing teaming work / teaching skills.
                reflect on our coaching and learning.

	This term we were doing science. My favorite experiment is the skittles colors merged with the water. My least favorite experiment is the filtration because I’ve already done this at my old school so it was just the same. Me and Josh, we were doing skittles and I listened to his ideas. One of the science experiments that I did not like is scones. It felt like I was at home helping my mum with baking, it was boring but we made scones that had lemonade in it and no baking soda. But my group scones where go so we didn't get any but one of my friends at another table let my group have some of theirs.				- - -
Students Comment			Teachers Comment I have enjoyed having you in science this term. Next time it would be great if you could show commitment to posting your blogs on time. Sincerely, Mr. Power

Schubert and white powder science home chemistry

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.
date 21 march
There are  a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

Here are some examples of everyday kitchen white powders.

Flour, Cornflour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Icing Sugar, Tartaric Acid

Citric Acid, Gluten Free flour

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Materials

1.  sugar
2.  salt
3.  baking soda
4.  cornflour

8.  black paper and pencil and ruler
9.  a drop Vermonter.  
Steps

1.  line up the black paper with a ruler the squares 4 should be the same size.
2. write the one four names at the top of each squares names salt sugar baking soda cornflower.
3. tip two table spoons on one of the squares that is named but put the same powder with it name sugar with sugar.
4. separate the powers in to 3 piles.
5. now use the drop Vermonter and water on one pile on each of

at period 2 today we were doing drama and doing freeze frames

Rainbow paper/skittles

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Definition: A technique for separating the different parts of a mixture / solid using liquid.

Rainbow paper

Materials;

1. paper

2. water pens colours red green and black

3. water

4. cup

5. ruler

6. pen/pencil 

Process:

Step 1: draw a 2 cm away from the top and draw a 1 cm line a way from the bottom

Step 2: draw 3 dots on the bottom of the 1 cm one red one green and one black.

Step 3: put it in the cup.

Step 4: fill the cup up to the line with the dots with water.

Findings: the dots were going up with the water up the paper. the black was turning blue and the green was turning yellow and the red was going lighter.

Reflection: I learnt maybe I will do it in lines and see how it will turned out

Skittles

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Materials;

1. five skittles colours red purple green yellow orange 
2. plastic container
3. water
4. cup


Process:

Step 1: put the skittles in the container edges.  
Step 2: pour water in the cup from tap.
Step 3: pour the water from the cup.

Findings: the skittles each colour formed triangle and then merged into brown water and the skittles went white.

Reflection: spreed the skittles out so the experiment will work better. 

the colours made a triangle to the middle and then merged into brown grows water.

reading my name is rez

introduction: there is a refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country because it was unsafe this is because of war or political unrest.

Rez was form Kurdistan she had to leave because turkey was bombing their village. When she settled down in New Zealand Rez felt excited and happy to go to a new school and live in their own house.
