Term 2 - Back from Home, and I'm looking forward to?!

Term 1, P.E finished with a special assembly. Pt England's principal Mr Burt, would always tell us about his friend " Collin ". The three R's, Road, Rail and River. How to keep safe! His word's were, 1 - Stay safe joining the Holidays, 2 - Don't play on the road or you might get squashed or flattened by a car, ( this is when his friend " Collin " comes into play ) 3 - His friend was almost close to dying. ( I don't wanna write the whole story because I gotta get the other part finished, what I'm looking forward to ). 

Anyways the holidays are done, and now it's time for Term 2. I'm obviously looking forward to rugby union for the school. It's gonna be 1 hell of a ride with the boys. 

Our Immersion Assembly brought back memory's. Mr Blakey, he told us stories. But he left in term 1, It was nice to hear Mr Blakey tell us one more story. 2k17 Staring ❯  Now That's Thinking!    ❮     

2017 Polyfest

Thursday the 16th of March. Team 5 gathered around to travel on a bus, to Manukau, for the 2017 Polyfest. It was about a, 10 - 17 minute ride. We hopped off at gate 3, noticing that we were too early, to begin our tour. So we waited!! We heard some school waiata’s, that was being performed at the Te reo Maori stage.

It was time to being our tour. Walking and learning about, keeping firewise. In the kitchen, if there was a pot. That was lit on fire! We were told not to mix, water with fire. As they do not go well together. We were also told, if there was a fire on a pot. Put some soaking wet tea towels.                

As the day went on. So did the performances. Team 5 was put into individual groups, by Classes because normally we're one big unit. So... It was cool & intensive to watch the girls put, effort, leadership, and commitment towards their culture. The music would be so loud, ear plugs would be needed to block the sound.           

I think the favourite part I had, was??? Eating watermelon which was stacked with Ice cream on top, plus getting free glasses and a visor hat ( tennis hats ), And a Chinaman's hat.

Thank you for reading my reflection story about Polyfest 2k17.

Water Poster

This is actually why we need to drink water each day!.. You may

Message about the The Kete of knowledge

Three Kete of Knowledge

The Three Kete of knowledge was brought down from Tane. The story is a bit like Jack
and the beanstalk, but different because Tane has a brother that's trying to stop him. Tane is a GOD
of the forests and of birds. Whiro is the oldest brother oh all. Whiro wants to bring the Three Kete
Of Knowledge but Tane made a Promise for the people that he will retrieve it first.  
 

Test 1 experiment : Hot water

White sugar or Brown sugar ?

The look on my face, watching which sugar would dissolve the fastest ! Was weird I didn’t really know that the Brown sugar would dissolve just 5. 53s. Leaving 1.93 seconds faster than white sugar 7 .49 would dissolve.

Title -

Purpose: What do you want to learn/find out?

Which type of sugar will dissolve the fastest ? White sugar or Brown sugar ?

Hypothesis: Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

Materials: List everything you will need to conduct your experiment.

Hot water and brown sugar and white sugar

Experiment procedure: The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. Write down each step so that someone else could do the same experiment.

We poured 1 little packet of white sugar into hot water ( cup ). We time how long would it take to dissolve The we did Brown sugar poured that into hot water ( cup ) Then again we waited to see how long would it take It finally came down to 5. 53 seconds ( Brown sugar ). Then the White sugar took 7. 49 seconds long.

Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment.

We pour a little bit of hot water into the sugar. Our first test was the brown sugar would dissolve pretty fast and it did. Then the White sugar

Conclusion:Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.

The fastest sugar that dissolved the fastest was Brown sugar. The with sugar was slow at dissolving 1.93 seconds may not sound that slow but I didn’t expect it to be slower than the brown sugar
