Current Circuits

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in physics, we are learning about current circuits and how they work, and what they do, here is what I have learnt/ done.

The battery is the thing on the top left the battery gives the wires energy ( put the voltage at 120.0)

The wires carry the energy around the circuit.

The light bulb has 56.0 resistance to energy.

What are current and voltage?

Current: How quickly the electrons move

Voltage: How much energy the electrons have

The one on the left has less power because in series all components (Parts) of a circuit are in one loop.

In the one on the right Has more power because, in parallel, components are on different branches/paths 

Science

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in science we are learning about Static Electricity

(Q) What are the three particles that make up everything? Which ones have positive and negative charges?  

1.  Protons (Positive) Neutrons Electrons (Negative)

(Q) Objects want to be “electrically neutral”, what does this mean?

(A)  They want it to be balanced 

(Q) When you rub two insulators you can get a static shock, so what is an insulator and conductor?

(A) One of them is good at passing on electricity and the other one is not at passing electricity.

(Q) What is an example of of static electricity

1. Rubbing your shoes on the carpet 

Drama and what we have learnt

 

Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in drama, we have been learning a new script it is about Vampires and zombies.

I play character one, there are eight different characters, One, Two, Three, Mayo, Vampire, Zombie one, Zombie two and other zombies. We have also learnt so much about, drama and how to act on the spot also the history of drama.

English/ Movie Poster

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in English, one of our tasks were to design a movie poster for the book The Cay.

I went with a water background because they were on a raft when their boat got blown up, and that’s how they found the Cay.

  

Physics

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in Science, we dissected an eye.

Parts of the eye: 

Cornea: The protective area of the eye 

Pupil: The area where light enters the eye

Iris: Where it controls how much light goes into the eye 

Lens: It focuses the light into the Retna 

Retna: Converts the light into electrical energy

Optic Nerve: Carries the electrical energy to the brain 

Humorous: Liquid mash in the middle of the eye that gives its shape

What we did and how we did it. 

We had to cut off all of the fat attached to the eye, then we had to cut open the eye (the Cornea and Sclera.) to open to see inside the eye. After the eye was open we saw the Iris and the pupil, which is behind the lens. We had to split/cut the eyeball in half and avoid the Optic Nerve and remove the Retina layer.

I didn’t enjoy it too much because I was afraid it was gonna squirt all over me. I found it interesting that it bleeds out black, I didn’t really know what I was suspecting honestly. But when we cut open the eye it wasn't as easy as I thought it was gonna be easy to cut through but it was really difficult because we didn't wanna get it everywhere.

   

Five ways Of Wellbeing (Wga)

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in Wga, we have been working on Identifying the five ways of wellbeing. And how they all connect to Connect, Take Notice, Keep learning and Be active.

Define the terms important to the 5 Ways of Wellbeing here:

Give- Taha Whanau 

Take Notice- Taha Wairua 

Connect- Taha Hinengaro 

Be Active- Taha Tinana

Keep Learning- Taha Wairua 

Define the terms of Te Whare Tapa Whā here:

Taha Tinana- Physical 

Taha Whānau- Family

Taha Hinengaro- Mental and Emotional 

Taha Wairua- Spiritual

English

Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in English, we got given some questions to answer about the book we have been reading The Cay.

Q: How many days have Phillip and Timonthy been on the Cay?

A: 48 days 

Q: What does Phillip do to help Timothy when he's sick?   

A: Put a wet cloth on his forehead 

Q: Explain why Phillip is ready to climb the Coconut tree?

A: because he didn't want to let Timothy down

Q: Why do I think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip Survival skills? 

A: Because he is at old age and has been sick before  

Q: What do I think Phillip means by his comment "are you still black"?

A: Because he saw black people as bad ugly people, but now he sees him and kind helpful and caring  

Langosta

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in English, we have another Do now task and this one is about Langosta.

Why would the Langosta be useful on the Cay, it would be useful because it would be a good food source 

What were the survival skill the langosta used, well it was buried in the sand so it couldn’t be spotted as easily, it probability ate whatever went past it or travelled a little bit, to where they couldn’t be seen. It would also need to hide close to the water so it can escape or not get dehydrated and cook in the sun if it is a hot day.  

Human RIghts

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte 

So in Social studies, we are looking at Human rights, The task I have been given is to read all the human rights and pick the top five that I think we couldn’t live without
