Science Filtration

Last week in science we had to get into groups of 3-4 for an science experiment. In this science experiment we had to try and filter some dirty water and see how clean we could get it. We got a choice of five things to filter the water with Filter Paper, Rocks, Cotton Buds, Sawdust and charcoal. We were meant to get at least three done but my group only got the rocks and the filter paper. Below is a slide with more information about the experiment.


 

English Movie Review

In English we have been watching this movie called The giver. In my opinion I thought that the movie was really good The only thing that I did not really like about the movie was the end when Jonas found the house and then it ended. My favourite part of the movie of the movie was when he left the island that they were on and went to find something. My favourite person in the movie was Jonas because I liked the way that he wanted to share his memories with the other people. My less favourite person in the movie was the leader of the island because she wanted to keep everything from everyone. I would have liked it if after Jonas restored that he had went back to see what had changed in everyone.

Health Whare Tapa Wha

Whare Tapa Wha is about the four walls of well being and how they work together. It is good to under stand about this because you need all of these to stay very healthy. I contributed by researching my side of the four walls of Whare Tapa Wha and by writing down all of the information I found. Next time i will need to make sure that I stay focused on my work so that I could get all of the information that I need. It was challenging when it came to building the walls and the roof of the house and having to write everything down. I thought that I worked well with my group and when I needed help one of my group members helped me.

What Is Critical Literacy

On Thursday the 7th of February in English we started to learn about Critical Literacy. Critical Literacy is about looking into things like books, Movies and shows. And trying to see what is true about it and if you should trust the person who wrote it. Here is one of the sites that we used to try and find out what it true and what is not. http://factitious.augamestudio.com/#/

Dinosaur Blog

This week for science we did an experiment with a pestle and nails. Two days ago we went into the science labs and had to get a plastic cup. When then put some plaster powder into the cups and then filled them with water. We then mixed it until it turned into a thick paste. We then put a small plastic dinosaur into the paste and then sat the cups on the side of the window. Then today when we got them back we took the plastic cup off so it was just a hard paste and then broke it out. Below are some of the pictures of us taking them apart.

EOTC Week

What did I enjoy the most? Last week we went on EOTC week the thing that I enjoyed the most was when we went to Adrenalin Forest and when we went to Spencer Park. I enjoyed Spencer park because we were able to platy foot ball/Soccer.

What did I find the hardest? When we went to Adrenalin Forest I found it hard at the start like getting use to the height because I don't like heights and I found it hard having to go over some of the ropes up in the trees.

What new skills did I learn? When we were at omaka scout camp I learnt how to use a bow and arrow witch was a really cool experience. I also learnt how to start a camp fire and how to keep it going.

What did I learn about my self? I learnt that I am not that good with heights but after I give it a go I am fine. And that I dont know what it will be like untill i give it a go.
