Hurumanu - Reading

 Hi guys today I'm doing the work for reading. The book that I'm reading is called Four of a Kind, the book is about a team which has four boys in it, but they feel out of place since they see that here isn't any boys playing besides them. After you read the story there is some questions and vocab words you have to do. Here is the work I did for it and I hope you enjoy.

I think that the problem at the start of the story is that they are confused that there isn't any boys there besides them.
We find out that there is so much boys on the teams because the school couldn't find a rugby coach for that year so they went to netball.
The reaction to there being a few boys on the team is that people were staring, some laughed this was because Dayton had his shirt on backwards.
I think that the moral of this story is that anyone from any gender can play any sports they want, as well as even if there is a sport which is dominated by one gender you shouldn't be afraid to play that sport while being the opposite gender.
In my opinion I don't think that there is any boys or girls sports. If you look at most sports there will be a separate team for girls, boys, or its a mixed team. Also anyone can do any sport they want to despite their gender.

Bacteria

Hi guys today in science we are looking at bacteria. We watched two videos about bacteria and what it does and all the different types of it. We are also learning about what happens to it and how they live.

Bacteria is shaped like a rod or a spiral. Bacteria is both good and bad since it helps you in different ways as well as its bad. Bacteria is also inside of your cells and is makes up 90% of it. Bacteria also adapts.

WALT
To look and different types of Bacteria.

What is Bacteria?
1. Feeding :
Most bacteria are consumers, this means they cant make their own food in sunlight, which means they have to feed by using other living things. Bacteria doesn't have a digestive system like other things. Bacteria will wait for things to decompose before they eat it. They start to eat things when they are more rotten.

2. Reproduction :
Bacteria does not have any gender. One bacteria does not need another bacteria to reproduce. The name for the reproduction is Mitosis. They make more bacteria by constantly splitting when they need too. They can split every 15 - 20 minutes. The smaller cells are named daughter cells which means they will become identical, it will be the same colour and look the same. They will keep of splitting unless there isn't any more food. When the get to a certain size they have to spilt, which is the only way bacteria can live.

3. Excretion : 
The food bacteria eat is important to help them be able to live. It gives them energy and helps them grow, damaged parts and also repair them. They pass waste products out of them cells membrane, and into what they are living on or in. They produce substances which could be poisonous if they are living on something or in. Bacteria feeds on living things and cause diseases and are called pathogenic bacteria and they are harmful to you.

4. Breathing : 
All different types of living things need oxygen so their cells can covert food into energy. The process is called respiration. Bacteria are able to carry out both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Respiration is when there is heaps of oxygen Anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide which is breathed out, water, and heat. That is why bacteria starts to decompose substances like a dead body. The temperature goes up. Bacteria can breathe even if there is even no oxygen.

Women's Suffrage - Choice Board DLO

 Hi, guys today in Nga Tangata P4 We looked at more things to do with the Women's Suffrage movement. For this period we split off into our reading groups to look at some more articles and reading tasks to do. For my group, we looked at three different texts that were all different lengths but were about the same kind of things. They were pretty informative texts as well. For the task, we had to do we looked at a bingo board and chose some tasks to do. I only did two tasks because Carla and I came up with a different task to do instead of one of the other tasks that were on the choice board. We decided to make a Kahoot. Here is the DLO I created for the two tasks on the choice board. I hope you enjoy it.

Women suffrage

 Hi, guys today in Nga Tangata P3 we were looking at things to do with women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. We looked at some videos about her and looked at some facts. For something we have to do is do some Vocab words. After you had finished the vocab you started on reading a small article and doing the questions which were given. Here it is and I hope you enjoy it.

Suffrage - Suffrage means the right to vote in political elections.
Convince - Convince means trying to talk to someone and try to have them believe in what you are telling them.
Parliament - Parliament means a group of people who represent a nation in politics.
Prohibitionist - Prohibitionist is someone who participants in the prohibition (Which is the action of forbidding something)

Questions - 
In 1867, Maori men gained the right to be able to vote on who would be the government.
I think that people back in the olden days thought that women shouldn't vote was because worldwide it was believed that women should stay in the kitchen, clean, and also stay home to look after their children.
The statement "Drinking their wages" means that the men who made the money went out to go drinking instead of help spending their money to help their families.
The WCTU helped the poor by visiting hospitals, prisons, set up soup kitchens, and also tried to get men to stop drinking their wages.
The main form of protest that women used to change the law was people writing newspapers, giving out leaflets, and also holding protest gatherings which speeches.
Kate Sheppard is on our $10 note to remember what Kate Sheppard did and to also remember her.

Using images from google with permisson

 Hi, guys today in Tuhura we looked at why it is important to use images with permission. We did a short activity where it was a small thing about you and putting some pictures in. But we had to find some images that would allow us to use them. To do this you go on tools and the press usage rights and the press creative commons license. You have to put some images in for things about me as well. A short question is "Why is it important to use Google images with permissions only? Add your profile that you have created"
My answer is that it's important to use images with permission only because if it's something that someone has created they may have wanted to get paid for it, or they may feel sad to disappointed that the image that they have created is being used without permission. As well as you may get copyrighted by the person who made it and you may have to pay them for it. Here is my All about me and I hope you enjoy it.

 

Drama - Five elements

100 word challenge

Hi,  guys today wga I started working on my 100-word challenge. There were two pictures that you could choose from and I choose to do the one where someone is passing the ball in hockey. Here is my 100-word challenge and I hope you enjoy it. 
x
I was walking around on the turf trying to figure out what to do. It was kind of boring not having someone to pass to or even play with. I decided that I would just pat to the wall and make it bounce back to me. I did that for a while until someone came up to me and asked if I wanted to play with them. I took the chance and played with them, we passed the ball around a couple of times. A few minutes later other people joined in. After some simple passes, we decided to play a small game

Chilli Tasting

In science, we are doing stuff about chilis. We have to do some research on chillies and also name the chemical that makes the chilis hot. Here is what I did for this and I hope you enjoy it.

Section1: A chilli is a type of fruit. The chemical in chillis that make it hot is called Capsaicin. Capsaicin makes chillis hot because it triggers calcium ions to enter nearby neurons.

Section 2;

Section 3:The six hottest chillies are named 
1. Carolina Reaper 
2. Moruga Trinidad Scorpion 
3.7 pot douglah 
4. Primo
5. Butch T Trinidad Scorpion 
6. Naga viper

The Scoville chilli scale, this works by scale measures the amount of capsaicin in the pepper and then assigns it a number rating in Scoville Heat Units.

Aim :
To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chillies tastes in your mouth while eating chilli.

Hypothesis : 
I think that coke will help it cool down the best.

Equipment : 

1. Milk

2. Water

3. Coke

4. Tasting cup 
5. Chilli

Method 

1. You will work in groups of three for this experiment. Each person in the group will use one of the drinks with the chilli. You will then swap results in your group so that everyone has the same results.
2. Each member of the group needs to have their own tasting cup. This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chilli in your mouths.
3. place a piece of chilli in your mouth.
4. After 10 seconds you will drink the liquid immediately
You will be recording the following using yes or no.
- The effectiveness of the liquid immediately.
- The effectiveness of the liquid 10 seconds after.

Chilli Tasting Results
Record: Yes or No

	Immediately	After 5 minutes
Milk	Yes	No
Water	Yes	Yes
Coca Cola	Yes	Yes

Summary and Results - 

Milk did not take away the taste immediately but it did take away the taste after 5 minutes 
Coke took away the effect immediately for me and it did the same thing after 5 minutes.
Water had a small effect immediately and had a greater effect after 5 minutes.
The summary is the most effective drink to take away the taste immediately would be milk.

Conclusion 
And milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods- literally, That's because milk helps your mouth handed capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers, capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.

Vocab and Timeline.

 Hi, guys today in Nga Tangata we looked at the climate change protest that had started in New Zealand. After we looked at some things to do with the climate change protest we looked at an article and a youtube video of Jacinda Ardern speaking on climate change. After you had watched the video and read the article you had two activities to do. The activities were that you had to write a timeline on what happened when the protest first started and till the end. After you did that you would go on to the vocabulary task that was given, or you could do that vocab first. I did my timeline on paper. Here is my vocab and I hope you enjoy it.

Climate Change - Climate change is a rise in global temperatures.
Campaign - Something organized to achieve a goal.
Demonstration - Demonstration is when you show how to do something or giving proof of something
Zero Carbon - Zero carbon means that there is no carbons are being produced by a product or a service.

Springbok Tour - Mirror image

 Hi, guys today in Nga Tangata we did some reading. My group read about the Springbok tour. We looked at 3 different stories. The story that is the main focus is called Mirror Image, Mirror image is a story on the Springbok Tour and showing two different points of view of two different girls around the same age. After reading the story we had to write a paragraph on the similarities in the point of view and the differences between the two. Also a small thing of why you think that the title is suitable for the story. Here is what I wrote and I hope you enjoy it. 

Some similarities between the point of view are that they both think that it is fair that people of different races are allowed to play. When

Meggie was walking to the stadium she wasn’t there to watch the game

but she was there to protest. Some differences between their point of view are that Meggie was protesting for other people, while Zodaw was at home watching the game with her father and her neighbour, even though she wasn’t that interested in rugby at all. Zodaw did see Meggie smile at the camera while she was walking away from the policemen.

Zodwa saw this and thought things were going to change for good.

Zodaw also lives in a different country than Meggie. I think that Mirror

Image is a suitable title for this book because it showed two different points of view that help see both sides, which kind of relates to the title.
