Drama

Hello everyone today's blog is about drama.

We got into a oval and did some box breathing. We split into two groups my group played pukana the other group played tequila.   

Water cycle

Hey everyone today's blog is about the water cycle.

we were learning about the water cycle we had a piece of paper and some shapes that had some words about the water cycle here are some of the words we had to learn:

Water cycle

Climate change

Acid rain

Condensation

Precipitation

Transpiration

Hurricanes

Water vapour

Carbon dioxide

Evaporation

the 5 words we are originally learning are

Precipitation

Transpiration

Evaporation

Condensation

Water cycle

the water cycle is connected to all 5 of those words and they make up the water cycle and then the water cycle is about climate change.

P.E

Hey everyone today's blog is about P.E. We played cross court there was three games the games were floor hockey football/Soccer and bench ball. We played all of the games in the new gym.

The first game we played was indoor football/Soccer it was really challenging at first but we got used to it.

The second game we played was bench ball. My team needed a little bit work so we made it work.

The third game was floor hockey by the time we got to this game we were really tired we stilled played good.

P.E

Hey everyone this post is about P.E.

On Tuesday this week, we did P.E for P.E did a warm-up the warm-up was doing 100 pts game its when you have to run across the gym and if you do 1 you get 1 point you have a group of 3 and if you go running with another person in your team you get 2 points if you do 1 run across the gym because both of you are going at the same time.

Floor Hockey Game

we also did a game called floor hockey, its when you grab a floor hockey stick and you line up in a line on a set and 7 people go up at a time and you verse the other team (MT) and the person who gets it in the goal first there team wins after you get the goal you put the hockey stick down and then you go to the back of the line and the next 7 people go up.

For this activity, I rated my self as a 3 because I was taking part and saying positive words to encouraging my team

6 corner soccer

in 6 corner soccer, you have to get in a team of 7 or 8 and give yourself a number and once the teacher shouts out the numbers you play soccer you make the goals with the long seats you put the seats on the side and then you go play soccer and whoever gets a goal for there team everyone goes back to there team and the teacher shouts out the next numbers.

For this activity, I rated my self as a 3 because I protected the goal and I used positive words to keep my team going and getting goals.

P.E

This week in our P.E Hurumanu we have been play some games so we can learn to work together

Our first activity was kick long ball. For this activity I rated my self as a 3

To achieve at level 3 we have to show that we can consistently ...

During the first game of banch ball. I showed that I am working at level 3 by running and kicking the ball. These examples show that I have meet the standard for level 3.

Our second activity was bench ball. For this activity I rated my self as a 4.

To achieve at level 4 we have to show that we can consistently.

During the first game of bench ball I  showed that I am working at level 4 by passing the ball and catched  the ball. These examples show that I have meet the standard for level 2

Next week I am aiming to work at level 4 To make sure that I am working that level I am going to work on.

Maths

                                    Maths
Today we did maths we had to figure out a really hard question.

The activity was we needed to answer 3 questions.

The strategy we used was the column strategy.

What I found challenging was the working out and how much columns we had to use.

Me and my group work really well and we work together.

We were successful because we did the working out part but we didn't get the answer.

Music Class.

Today we did music class which we are calling "Beats and Beyond". We got to hear Mr Mitchell play his guitars. It was like we were at a concert it was fun to listen to him play the guitars. Heres a photo of us watching Mr Mitchell play a steel string guitar. A Dreadnaught guitar is a guitar with a big body. A Steel string guitar is a guitar with steel strings.
A Nylon string guitar with nylon strings.


 

Here are some photos of some guitars:

Then it was lunch time we got given a cup of water and two cookies. They where really good.Thank you for reading.

5 FACTS

Hi everyone!.  Here are some 5 facts.

The feet can measure the height.

THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

The bones of the feet can tell a lot about a person. What do feet reveal about a person's height? Forensic anthropologists team up with law enforcers to help solve crimes.

Bones of the feet can reveal an interesting fact about an individual. Let's combine math with forensics to see how.

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Material:

1. 1 meter ruler
2. Your-self
3. 
   

Steps:

1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
Sapphire	26 cm	164 cm
Lily	28 cm	179 cm
Mackenzie O	22 cm	145 cm

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a persons height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a persons height is the length of their foot.

Find out what percentage of your height is your feet. To do this you need to:
Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height then multiply it by 100. 

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a persons height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a persons height is the length of their foot.

The case of the Barefoot Burglar

In groups of 3 you are going to need to use your forensic knowledge to solve a crime. You must use the web page: Barefoot Burglar Evidence

1. Determine which of the four suspects is the "Barefooted Burglar"? 
2. What do you think was the motive for this crime? 
3. Write the results of your findings and convince a jury of your peers

The Crime

At approximately 7:15 a.m., Friday morning, Mrs. King, the science teacher, thought something was fishy as she walked down the hall and noticed that her door was open. She walked into her classroom and immediately discovered that the small aquarium had been broken and her prized gold fish were gasping in the sink. Beside the broken aquarium were the shattered remains of the pink piggy bank that had been on the shelf above the aquarium. A can of blue paint was spilled on the floor. Footprints of a barefooted burglar led to an open window. Bits of a white powdery substance were found next to the broken, empty, piggy bank. The only other item found was a half-eaten large chunk of chocolate candy.

When the police arrived they immediately began to gather forensic evidence.

Dan the Man Height : 176 cm Alias: The General Dan was wearing a woolen general's uniform with small holes when apprehended in the woods. He claimed to be gnawing on wood for moisture and insects to practice his survival training. His teeth look like a beavers from gnawing. His wife complains that she never has any baking soda due to Dan's compulsion about storing clothes in mothballs. He thinks the baking soda takes away the mothball smell, so he stuffs his pockets with the substance. Also, his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear from the candy cupboard. He blames their dog Patton, an English bull terrier, who patrols the neighborhood. His neighbors report that Dan loves the military. He was very regimented about playing taps on his bugle every day at sunset until an irate neighbor broke his bugle. Dan has been trying to save money for a new one. Peg the Leg Height: 152 cm Alias: Lucky Lady

Peg is a librarian known for hanging horseshoes and four leaf clovers in her library. Employees say she is so superstitious she insisted on carpeting in the library instead of laying tiles so she would not step on the cracks. She wraps construction zone tape around open ladders so no one can walk under them. Cola bottles litter her office, which she drinks with chocolate chunks. Her teeth are chipped from knocking the bottles against them. She is always throwing salt over her shoulder for good luck and keeps a salt shaker in her purse. Her alibi is that she was busy closing open umbrellas the morning of the crime.

Jake the Jock

                                                                         Height 201 cm

                                                     Alias: Armchair Quarterback

                                                                                         

Jake the Jock is known for quoting statistics on every sport from boomerang throwing to sled dogging. His neighbors report that he is the neighborhood pitcher for baseball games. Last year a baseball hit him in the mouth and knocked out his front tooth. This has cramped his eating style of chocolate chunks, candied apples, and corn on the cob. His wife claims that on the morning of the crime Jake was rubbing his hands with cornstarch to keep them dry in preparation for an important baseball game.

Lou Lou Height: 160 cm Alias: Sweet Tooth

Lou Lou is so addicted to sugar that she never leaves home without it. She loves to bake sweet things and has an entire pantry full of sugar bins. She claims to have been baking her famous chocolate chunk cookies the morning of the crime (although not a morsel of cookie or chocolate chunk was left when the police arrived.) Lou Lou rarely wears shoes, which often causes her to slip and break things, especially her collection of ceramic pigs. Evidence:

• Fingerprints: Sticky, 'swirl' fingerprints were lifted from the aquarium and piggy bank. 
• Footprints: The painted footprints were measured and were for 26 cm feet. 
• Teeth: The chunk of chocolate candy was collected for examination. It appeared there were teeth imprints.
• White Powder: The white powdery substance by the piggy bank was carefully placed in a plastic bag and taken to the forensic chemist for identification . It had very small grains and when mixed with Iodine it reacted making the colour brown. It did not have a smell.

Name: Dave

                        

Fingerprints: No.

Mouth prints: Has a chipped tooth.
Shoe size: 16
White powder: None found.

Name	Evidence
Dan	Fingerprints: Whorl Mouthprints: Shoe size: White powder:
Peg	Fingerprints: Loop Mouthprints: Shoe size: White powder:
Jake	Fingerprints: Whorl Mouthprints: Shoe size: White powder:
Lou	Fingerprints: Arch Mouthprints: Shoe size: White powder:

Findings: ( what did you find. Summarise what you have written in the table above)

Verdict: ( who is the burglar and why)
