It's cool to be kind

KINDNESS BANNER (CIP PROJECT) 

For the last two weeks, we have been working on our kindness banner and we have been designing it on what should we add on the big paper. We also wrote down about kindness and why we should do it and how it change other peoples lives. 

This is how are poster looked like. :)

- Large poster paper

- Paints

- Pencils and erasers

- Paint brushes 

We really had fun making this poster and painting it and doing the details. 

Hi guys! Today we did some inspired writing and we describe on what is on the picture. This is the one that I did.

I did about the parrot one

Liyah

There is a parrot standing on the wood The parrot stood on the long wood. The parrot standing on the long wood looking towards down to move somewhere else so that the parrot can be safe. The parrot jumped down the floor and quickly move from a different spot and he was safe and sound.  The brave parrot hid behind the bush and look around if he was safe and sound from the bush that he hid in. The fearless parrot flew away as quickly as he can out from the bush, and the parrot was lucky to get out from that place that he didn’t like because there were so many people chase that parrot.

Hurumanu - Climate change and the future

Hurumanu: Climate Change and the future

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea level rise going to effect us in NZ

What places will be effected?

The places that will be affected are all around the coast of New Zealand.

What else do we need to think about?

We need to think about building houses, not on the coast. 

What other places around NZ will be affected?

The other places around NZ will be affected is the Pacific Islands.

What does this do to our drinking water?

 It will put salt on the drinking water.

What are the main concerns?

1.   Flooding 
2.   Erosion

What can we do to prevent climate change?

What can we do?

1.  Recycling.
2.  Use less plastic.
3.  Do not throw rubbish in the ocean.   

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution?

Recycling.

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

1.   Renewable fuels.
2.   Transport the uses solar energy or batteries.
3.   Recycle.

What are 3 others you can think of?

Change and Challenges

Hey there everyone!

Throughout the week we were doing are poems about ourselves and
we were also talking about who we are and how we are changing. We
were talking about performing on stage and what do we need to do to
perform the poem. You perform about yourself and some other things from
the poem. The poem about yourself is like what u are scared of fear of or
like where do you want to go and some more other things like this type of
poem...

Measuring weather

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1.  Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS

1. 4 cups. 
2. 4 barbecue sticks.  
3. 1 pencil with a rubber on top.  
4. 1 pin.
5. 1 tape.   

STEPS

1. Grab 4 cups.  
2. Grab 4 barbecue sticks for the cups to stick up on the sticks.   
3. Get 1 pencil with a rubber on top so that the pin will go in the rubber but not all the way through. 
4. Grab 1 pin and put it in the middle when you tape all of the things and it also has to stand on the rubber from the pencil so that it will spin. 
5. Grab 1 tape for all the 4 cups to stick on the sticks.
6. The cups has to be up not flat so the spinning will work.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.

• You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	1 spin for the field.
2.	Tennis Court Gate	None from the Tennis Court Gate.
3.	Old J Block Site	None from the Old J Block Site.
4.	Grass Hill In Quad	None spin from the Grass Hill In Quad.

CONCLUSION:

I think that the field has a lot of wind because there wasn't that much of tress surrounding it and it was pretty strong as well and it was a good spot.

CIP

Hey Everyone!
Today I will be talking about what we did in It's cool to be kind. We were talking about how kindness can change peoples lives and for your self as well, and last term on term 3 we did about the all blacks activities, we also did this activity about recycling the pens  and we have to save the pens that aren't 

working and we have to put it on a container if you have one and you can swap it with money from the terracycle. We also planned a mufti day and they said that the shirt or the dress that your wearing is colourful and you could also do a rainbow theme with your friends like your other friend will be red

your other friend will be orange and yeah if you have 7 friends that will be great or any amount of your friends its okay. We do this because we all need to be kind and respectful to each other and listen to the person is talking and after the person is talking you can talk.

Holiday!

October 14 2019

Hello everyone! today i will be talking about what happened in the holidays. On October 4 2019 on Friday, me and my family went to pickup my grandma in the Airport and she took a little bit long but she made it and she was really happy to see us and hug us quite tight. On Saturday on October 5 we went for a walk, we also went to the park with the exercising part and my grandma really likes it and shes going to stay with us in 6 months! and the best thing about is that she's gonna be here on Christmas!

We walked almost the whole week but some other days it started raining so we just stayed at home and watch a movie called Aquaman. We also eat chips while watching the movie, after the movie me and my sister started playing in my Chromebook the game was called Fire boy and Water girl we made it in a few levels but the others were quite hard passing it.

Me and my family went to the cherry blossoms path but there were only a few cherry blossom because almost all of it turned green but I've seen the cherry blossoms path when they were still not green because Uncle Philip told us if we want to come and My mum said yes. We took quite a lot of pictures because the cherry blossoms were really really cool and some of their petals were falling and it looks like it's raining petals all over.

My worst part of the holidays was that it was raining and we couldn't go outside because it was all wet and it was really rainy. Also the worst part as well is that My oldest boy guinea pig bite the other boys back and the small boy one was really damage and we felt bad for him and while I hold my other guinea pig named Joey he was crying because he was hurt but the others didn't that much, the other boys were also quite hurt but not all of the boy and cookie which is the small boy one is almost getting healed which is awesome and also the other boys.

My Investigation on climate change

ACIDIFICATION

DEFINITION:

What is happening to the oceans?

The oceans are absorbing about the one third of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 

What does this do to shellfish?

It does things like coral growing a little bit a lot from the shellfish, and the inside has a little bit of it.

HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?

Ocean acidification refers to decreasing levels of pH in the ocean, which makes the sea more acidic.

About The New Kahui

September 25 2019 

On Monday the 23 of the September Ts and Sh moved with us and we started talking about the new buildings and walked around the other classrooms and what they are about and what subject and room it is. We also went up stairs to see the teacher work there and it is not for students to go up there only for teachers. Our Kahui is called a Tieke and other classrooms Kahui has a different name. The names were Mohua, Riroriro and Tieke. 

When I walked into our new buildings I felt like....
When I walked into the new buildings I felt like I was really excited to see the new rooms in the new buildings and I also felt like it will be confusing to go to different rooms that we are suppose to be. I also felt that I might walked in to different classrooms while other students were working but luckily I didn't which is really great and I kinda feel that I almost remember where I am suppose to be. In each building they cost 27 million dollars which is really really expensive and some of us were shocked when the teacher told us that it cost 27 million dollars.

When I walked into our new building I thought....
When I walked into our new building I thought that the inside will be really cool and also the other rooms will be really cool as well. I also thought that the science lab will be awesome and it was actually, the chairs were new and there were pictures on the wall of all of the scientist and types of rocks that were on the wall as well. I also thought that the textures inside the new building were really cool as well like the colour of the walls and the colour of the tables and lots of other stuffs that were really awesome.

When I walked into are new buildings I saw.... 
When I walked into the new buildings I saw the rooms of the sitting area were really awesome and I saw the texture of the walls and the sealing were really cool like the lines at the top of the sealing The tv that lights up on the wall as well and the orange colour of the wall and white as well. I was amazed by the tv because they light up when the tv's are open it was really cool. I also saw the sitting area whit fake grass all over it and it was really awesome it's actually the best part of the new building like outside of it. There was these small cafeteria that i saw it was awesome as well with a kitchen at the side of it. 

Conclusion:
The New Kahui building were really really awesome and it was really cool inside and it was bigger that our other old classroom except there were no sliding doors because in our old classrooms there were sliding doors. 

Hurumanu - Science Laboratory introduction

Aim: To learn about  the expected behaviour in a science laboratory.


Our R9 Class Treaty

1. Grab 4 test tubes
2. Put the 4 vials in the stand testube.
3. Put banana, bread, paper and white styrophone in the test tubes only a piece of it.
4. Grab a stand for the test tubes

Findings:

TODAY	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Yellow	none
Paper	Brown	none
Styrophone cup	White	none
Bread	Brownish White	none

3 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	green white black	the colour and how it looks
Paper	brown	none
Styrophone cup	white	none
Bread	brown green black	colour and looks like

5 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Black, brown blue	how the banana looks and the coulours
Paper	none	none
Styrophone cup	none	none
Bread	black, blue	the colours

  

Conclusion:

The things that I learnt is that how the food and the paper and cardboard change after a few weeks and what they look like from the past few weeks.

Water Cycle

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT WATER ON EARTH.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

THE WATER CYCLE SONG

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1.  Water
2.  Blue food colouring 
3.  Zip lock
4.  Permanent pen.  

Steps:

1.  Get a zip lock from the teacher. 
2.  Draw about the water cycle on the zip lock.
3.  Put water inside the zip lock after you have finish drawing on the zip lock.
4.  Put blue food colouring in the zip lock so that the water will turn to blue. 
5.  Tell the teacher that you have finish so that he could hang it up somewhere 

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle	Acid Water Cycle
Does it cycle?	2	1
Amount of Water	1	2
Acidity	1	2

Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none 

1 = small 

2 = large 

Other comments:

Conclusion: What I learnt about the water cycle and the acid water cycle of how small they are or how large they are depends on what it is about.
