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.

Kia ora. We are looking at geometry for maths. the term we started by investigating maps and the compass.

• we found the compass has 32 points. points we are focussed on only 8

To remember where the words north south east and west go we learnt the saying never eat soggy weatbex

and if you cant remember where the west and east is. you need to remember that it’s the word WE going across. with the west on the left and east on the right and north at the top and south at the bottom.

KIa Ora. On Tuesday week 1 of term 3 my class room 9 and room 11 went up to our school hall to pair up into groups of 4. after words we were informed that we were going to do an egg drop. we were also informed how many things we would be given as well as the amount of time we would have.

Kia ora. this week I have been working on a pair of slides about a book I have been reading called Broken Wing I think it’s a good book. I like books with lots of suspense. The book has suspense. That’s one of the reasons why I like that book. I also like the book because it has a duck. At least I think that’s a duck. I don’t remember if  you want to have a look for yourself  you can click on the link to read the book that’s linked to the word Broken Wing I didn’t finish the book but if you do, good on you

Kia Ora. This week we went out for PE on the courts, we played a game called End Ball, its a sport kind of like net ball but there’s a smaller court where people can go almost anywhere. There was a court we had to play on, the size of 1 3rd or 2nd of a net ball court. in the game you can’t move with the ball in your hands. you also can’t drop the ball because if you do that  would mean you would have to hand over the ball to the enemy team. kind of like net ball. the catch is that you have to hand the ball to every one in your team. you also have to pass it to a team mate that is inside a circle you can use a line or a hoop for the circle.
