Wananga Olympic work

Hi there, today I will be showing you what me and my team mate have done in the Olympic work. The work that we have done was to create a logo of what we think the logo would look like in the next Olympic and this is what we have done. 

The Springbok Tour Protests

The Springbok Tour Protest Questions

1. What is another word for apartheid?
Another word for apartheid is separated.

2. Why did the protestors need helmets?
They wore helmets because the police use these special long batons.

3. Why do you think being called honorary whites upset Maori All Blacks?
Maybe because it was racist and that it's not very necessary to say it to them because it was rude.

4. Why the Hamilton rugby game cancelled?
It was canceled because hundreds of anti-tour protestors occupied the field chanting.

5. Do you think this protest was successful? Why? Why not?
I don't think it was successful because the police smashed them with their batons

6. How do you think the New Zealand protests helped Nelson Mandela?
New Zealand helped Nelson Mandela to get voted and made them think about how they treat others in their country.

Burger Plan

 Hi everyone today I will be showing you what I have done in  my writing for the past couple of weeks.

Here is the link on why it should stop.

Stop animal testing

Chemistry

 Hi there, today I will be talking about what we did for the past 4 weeks in chemistry.

For the past 4 weeks we have been learning about conduction, convection, contraction and expansion. What we did for the expansion one was about the ball and how you heat up the ball and put it in cold water so it won't fit through the hole anymore.

The meaning of contraction is the process of becoming smaller or shorter, what we did for the contraction was about the imploding can. What happened was we heated up the can with water in it for a few minutes and after that we started to fill up the ice cream container with cold water but only half way. After the can started to steam, we flipped the can quickly to the cold water so that it will get crushed up.

Conduction is a heat travelling through a solid making the particles vibrate more and more. For conduction we did an experiment about the pins and how we stick them up the metal using the Vaseline and after we have done putting it on the metal we started to heat up the tip of the metal so that it will travel through the metal and pins will start to fall down on the metal because the Vaseline melted.

Convection is when heat travels through a liquid or gas, expansion is the act of getting
bigger or something added onto something else. For convection we did this
experiment about the crystal, and for this experiment we started to heat up the water
and put in the crystal to the water. After that we were watching the crystal as it rose up
through the water and it started to travel around back from the top.

We also learnt about how heat affects particles, and when particles are heated up they move even faster. Solid will vibrate more, and liquids and gases will move a lot more quickly. We have done a lot of different experiments about heat so that we were able to see what heat does in different kinds of experiments that we are doing.

There was another experiment that we have done and that was all about the tea bags. We started by taking all the powder out from the tea bag so that all we had left was the piece of paper. After we have empty the tea bag out, we cut off the top of the piece of paper bag so that it will be able to stand up and not fall once we light it up. What was supposed to happen was once it got lit up by the fire on the top of the tea bag, it was supposed to fly up because since the tea bag is so light it will be able to fly.

ICT

 Hello everyone. Today I will be telling you what we have done in ICT on what Mr Carter thought us.

Term 1

In term 1 we have been talking about Cybersafety. We talked about Cybersafety because it is quite a big deal around the world, we started to create a kahoot about Cybersafety so that people who plays it will be able to know what is the right answer to the question and for them to think about it as well. We also started to use this tool called word, we were doing a basic document layout using the word and we started to fix and create different things from that tool. The book that we got was what we are about to write and fix from the document that we are on. The other that we have created was the kids eats free and Disney, what we've done to that was to create 5 different designs on the poster that we have chosen, it was really fun because we get to create a lot of different things and it was quite entertaining.

Here are some photos of what we have done in word.

Here is what we have done in term 1.

Term 2

In term 2 we have used these tools that are called publisher, excel and word. For me excel was the easiest thing to use because it was much more understandable than the other tools that we have use before we used excel and it made my work understandable once I have finished it. Publisher was a good tool because we created some cards and design quite a lot of things and publisher was easy to use because it was easy to create a lot of things and explore the items that we are able to use in publisher. The tool word was quite confusing for me to use once I started to do the work there, so I spend quite a lot of time on how to use the items in there and how do I do different formulas there. It took me awhile to finish my work because I want to make sure that what I did is right so that it wouldn't be confusing for the teacher

These are some photos of my work that I have done from Excel.

This photo shows what we have done so far this term. Each week we did quite a lot of different things

and sometimes we do our work again if we haven't finished it yet.
