Kia Ora. I am really thankful for KPMG because just like every year they have been giving my school (Edmund Hillary School) Christmas gifts, I think the years 4 or 5 – 8 gets to pick what gifts they want, of course it has to be within a budget between $1 – I think $25?

If they didn’t have a budget some kids would be getting a PS 5, Xbox sires X, a brand new gaming PC/Gaming set ups, ipads, iphones tablets , laptops and so much more, but I’m just really thankful for KPMG because this year I got a pair of head phones as well as a note book and a pen, it was really fun, but sadly it was my last because i am a year 8. : )

Kia Ora. This week my class and I have been using a new AI, one that we’ve never used before in our life. I think the AI is cool Because you can ask for help with your work, and it will help or correct you on your mistakes and give you suggestions, like maybe you can say ….. instead of ….. because ….., and sometimes the AI does the work for you.  you can also ask you to call you by your name, all you have to say is, hi my name is …. and the AI will call you by that name, which is pretty cool if you ask me, if you do what it suggests it well tell you that there is a little to improve on or that it was really good, on the first day we used it, it was for our narrative and it helped make it better, it did the same thing with our arguments, recommended 10/10 would use another time.

Here is some feedback from Room 9

Kia Ora My class and I have been learning about structures of an argument.

Kia Ora. this week my class and I have been learning about buying things online safely. Some tips I learnt to shop safely is that if a shopping app has the letters https with the S meaning secure. as well as checking to see if there’s a pad lock in or next to the link.

Kia Ora. We are learning how to write a structure of an argument. My class (Room 9) and I have been looking at this for I think a full week now. here is a presentation about the structure of an argument:

Kia ora this is a novel study about a book my class has been reading for the past few weeks or so. its called maze runner any way here is a slide about some things about the book.

Kia ora This week my group and I are reading a new book as we do almost every week. this week my group and I got a book called for the land. these are some terms new to me. mānuka, Ahikaroa, rewarewa, Takitimu, Taiporutu, tī kōuka, Kawakawa, Taiwananga, Titoki, Mahia, and some terms I recognise, Land, Maori, Generations, Settlers, Migration, Clusters, Coast.

yesterday my class and I  made ice cream  as part of an experiment about chemical engineering.

First we  started with putting ice and salt in a bag, then put a bag full of milk cream and powdered sugar. closed the bag and put it in the bag of ice and salt then mix it by shaking up the bags. stop when the liquid becomes an ice cream like Consestentsee and enjoy.

Science Lab Report – (Chemical ENG)

PREDICTION / HYPOTHESIS

My Question is what effect does salt have on ice?

What we think will happen … we think that the salt will make the ice colder

MATERIALS

I will need …

1 small and 1 large plastic bag,

Sugar,

Ice,

Cream

METHOD / PROCEDURE

What I will do …

Add 8 cups of ice in a big plastic bag then add half a cup of salt together with the ice then perfectly seal the bag and shake it. Next get your smaller plastic bag and pour half a cup of milk inside it. Measure 1 cup of cream then also pour it in the same smaller bag with milk in it, then add 3 tsp of powdered sugar and add it in the small bag with a little bit of flavouring to it. Add the small bag inside the bigger one and wait. Always check on it after every 5 mins, and your done.

FAIR TESTING

Variables: (Can only change 1 Thing)

If I were to change something about what we did I would maybe add a bit more vanilla.

RESULTS

What happened?

Our ice cream was a bit runny, I think it should’ve sat in the ice a little longer for that thick ice cream effect.

REFLECTION

Next time I will change the flavour

kia ora. this week I will be posting about my goals for both terms 3 and 4. I hope to do great things in my learning like working harder to reach my goals because I would really like to understand to the best of my ability’s. s that when I finish books or movies and be like “Wow. This ( Movie or Book ) was so amazing” instead of saying “dang. That was a pretty good ( movie or Book )” I want to learn this skill so that I can better understand more good movies and books.
