Hi, guys today in WGA we all worked on the same information for this day. We did the 5 of august in music. Our statement was The Beatles release singles "Yellow Submarine" and "Eleanor Rigby" In the UK.
After looking at the statement we all did some research about it then shared what we found. Shortly after we worked on a DLO about it with all the facts I have gathered. I did my DLO on biteable, here it is and I hope you enjoy it.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 7 and in 2021 I will be a year 8. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

100 word challenge

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
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.
1. Carolina Reaper
2. Moruga Trinidad Scorpion
3.7 pot douglah
4. Primo
5. Butch T Trinidad Scorpion
6. Naga viper
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 :
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 |
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.
