My Team Reflection.

This week in our P.E Hurumanu We played two games named Kick long ball and Bench ball. We played them in the school gym. We were playing these games because we were learning to work in teams and reflect on what we were doing.

Kick Long Ball

Our first activity was Kick long ball. For this activity, I rated my self as a 2 

To achieve at level two we have to show that we can sometimes contribute to the game, We also sometimes need the teacher to remind us to join in or put more effort in. We try to use positive words and actions to encourage my team.

During the first game of kick long ball, I showed that I am working at level two because I was only sometimes contributing and the teacher had to remind me to put more effort into the game. These examples show that I have met the standard for level two.

Bench Ball

Our second activity was Bench Ball. For this activity, I rated my self as a two.

To achieve at level two we have to show that we can make an effort to joining in with our small group by helping to get the team onto the bench so we can win the game.

During the first game of Bench Ball, I showed that I am working at level two because I did contribute but not as much as I could have and when I did not want to go onto the bench I wasn't using positive words. These examples show that I have met the standard for level two.

Next week I am aiming to work at level Three. To make sure that I am working on that level I am going to work on using nicer and more positive words to the rest of my team members and contribute as much as I possibly can.

Music Through the Decades

For music hurumanu, we have been learning about the different types of music in different times. Kahciar and I worked on a slide show that is about it music from the 1900's to 2010's.

Ki-O-Rahi (:

For the past few weeks, 7/8ts and 7/8mt have been researching and learning how to play a game called Ki-O-Rahi for our PE hurumanu. Here's what I have learned. (:

Maths DLO.

For maths, we have been learning to use a standard written method to solve addition problems, this is my DLO on how to work the question out.

Beats And Beyond

For the second day of Music Hurumanu, 7/8Ts and 7/8 Mt started off with one of our teachers Mr Mitchell brought in a few guitars, An Electric guitar, Backpack Guitar He also played a tune on each of them. He played all the guitars and told us about how different in the sound. He also told us the types of guitars and what they are used for.
For our glossary, we had to find the meanings for a bunch of items for guitars. Here are a few of our glossary words. Whammy Bar- The Whammy bar is a bar on an electric guitar that quickly changes string tension. Capo- The Capo is used to hold down all 6 of the strings at the same time. Sound Hole- The Sound Hole is a hole in the body of a guitar where the sound comes from.

Filter water

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  Oil Filter
2.  Air Filter
3.  Pool Filter
4. 
   

Materials

1.Funnel

2.Container 

3.Filter paper

4. Dirty Water

5.Cup

6.Scissors 

7.Sand

8.Rocks

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle in half.

Step 2

Put the top half upside down and put it in the other half of the bottle.

STEP 3

Add layers of sand in the filter paper and then put the rocks on top/

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water and SLOWLY tip it in.

STEP 5

Pour the dirty water into .

Findings

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Minutes                          1.  52 drops

Conclusion:

The first time we did the experiment when we poured the water in it went to fast, and someone I would rather not say who did it 😅😅😅 accidentally knocked the bottle with the clean water and stuff over so it kind of failed.

In groups of 3 you are going to need to use your forensic knowledge to solve a crime. You must use the web page: Bar efoot 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. Besides 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.
