New Bulidings

Wednesday 25 September

This week on Monday we had entered our new classrooms/Kahu's. This was an amazing time, apart from the new smell. That smelt disgusting. It's part of having new buildings. One of the things that I mostly enjoyed was that we got to have a look in all of the buildings which we get to see what the other teachers has set there classrooms like.

When I walked into our new classrooms I thought.... that it would not be long till it would become messy. But also I thought with Mrs Shehata being in this classroom it would be neat and tidy. I don't know to be honest, I never really had any thoughts.

When I walked into our new classrooms I saw.... An amazing teared seating. This was the biggest thing in our classroom. I also saw more classrooms around which was for older kids above year 7 and 8. One of the favourite parts of this building was that there was sheets of paper on most of the doors. Which showed us what classroom.
Example: T2, T2 is our classroom that we share with Mr Tisch's class.

When I walked into our new classrooms I felt.... A sense that some of us would get along as we have a combined class which means that there is a likely chance that children can work well together. I have to admit that I don't really work well with other classrooms, but it really depends on the noise level and how I can work.

As we have a new school it took about roughly 2 years to make. They still have some other buildings that they may start building. There's supposed to be 5 but it depends how many students we actually get. For these's new classrooms to get built it was $27.000000 to pay for. 

This experience was weird and amazing at the same time. They had layed this out perfectly. All of the classrooms are the same.

On Monday for Art we have been creating the background for our animation. I am pretty happy with what we had painted. This is an amazing piece of artwork. My group had amazing ideas on what to paint. Here is my art work...

Science - Reflection

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT WATER ON EARTH.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

THE WATER CYCLE SONG

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1.  Vivid
2.  2x Bags
3. 1/2 Water 
4.  1 tbsp of baking soda

Steps:

1.  Draw your water cycle
2.  Carefully add the water
3.  If your doing the acid one, add 1 tbsp of baking soda and litmus paper at the top
4.  Add some food colouring
5. Wait at least 2 - 3 wks

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	2	3
Amount of Water	2	3
Acidity	1	3

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Conclusion:

The normal water cycle had less condensation than the other. The normal bag didn't have any Baking soda involved

The water cycle with the acid, had changed the colour of the litmus paper to red after it started out blue.

Art

I am making a charactor for my animation for my group, We all get to have our own character and create them our own way.  My charator fits in as we are all wolfs apart from 1. 1 of the wolfs are homeless as well so it connects.

I am mostly finding challenging is the clay as it's hard to get it the correct clay I want/need.

This is so far what I have created.
I had to redo this as it wasen't how I wanted it.

Kiwi Kids News

Today for Media Team I have been on Kiwi Kids News. I found a lot of interesting things.
A granny doing the floss, what's inside of a rattles snake's rattle, Emoji Challenge and more. These were so interesting.

CIP - Community Impact Projects

This week we have been learning about recycling stationery. We have signed up to a website that our used stationery can go to recycle. I made a slideshow explaining some of this....

Science (Solar Pannels)

Aim: To find out what colour attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis:

I think that the colour is going to be silver/Tin foil.

Materials:

1.  1x Tin foil cup
2.  1x Clear cup
3.  1x Black plastic bag
4.  1x Small black bag
5.  1x Heat lamp
6. 1x White paper
7. 1x Thermometer
8. 1x Tin Foil 
9. 1x Plastic cup

Steps

1.   Collect the equipment
2.  Set it up, Put the white, tin foil and the black bag on the table.
3. Put with clear cup on the black bag in the middle
4. Put the little black bag over it
5. Put the white cup in the middle of the white paper
6. Put the tin foil paper in the middle of the tin foil
7.  Plug in the heat lamp
8.  Pour the water
9.   Wait 15 minutes
10. Record your findings

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16.c	16.c	16.c
15	20.c	25.c	19.c
30	20.c	35.c	20.c
45	20.c	30.c	20.c

Conclusion

This is a photo of all of the cups. Throughout this the black one spilled as we let the thermometer. 

The highest was the black one even though it was on the side. 

This was amazing
