Science

At tech we learnt cool stuff about bones and everything inside the fish's body. We found out that the bones on fish are very small and fragile. They also had like a skull that had cracks inside but were like fuzed together. The interesting things that we found out was the fish only had about 130 bones in their head. The bones and flesh carried a jello substance which in some places are used to make jelly, We got told that this liquid also made things thicker.

Matariki

Today when we went to te-oro in G.I we were welcomed with maori greetings. The people there were freindly to us when we were in classes, my class did some matariki patterns. The first patterns were called koru, it was bassicaly a plant that curls up into a circle like thing. The second pattern was a lot differnt because it was a face of a hammer head shark that had horu as their head. The third pattern was called kaperua and also the fourth was called niho taniwha. Towards the end my class got told a story that inspired most of us. After that we got to do fun activities like painting a rock to your own personality. The fun bit of it was we got to talk while painting and also Fire Kahu tought I some ways to paint our rocks. At the end we all sang a song together as a matariki celebration. 

Rugby

Every week, we go for rugby sessions on Tuedays, this week we did some games. The first drills we did was just passing the ball up and down through the line, while also running up and down with the line. The games we played we cool because we had to run to each goal line and score. I found rugby sports very simple and cool.

Founding the Mean, Median, Mode and Range

My first number problem im going to share is 2, 2, 5, 8 , 1, 12

To find the mean you have to add up all the numbers together and then you have to divide it with how many numbers there are.

E.g 2 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 1 + 12 = 29
Then divide it by 5 which 4.8

To find the median you have to arange the numbers from smallest to largest, then cross out the numbers in order from left to right until you get to the middle, if you get two numbers leave it as it is.

E.g 1, 2, 2, 5, 8, 12
arrange the numbers first and then cross out the numbers from left to right.
The median is 2 and 5

To find the mode you just have to look for the number that occurs the most.
The mode is 2

The range is simple all you do is minus the lowest number from the highest number which in this case is 2 - 12 = 10

Skeletons

Every Tuesday we go down to technology to learn about science, today we learnt facts about skeletons and bones. Both humans and animals, we also got a look at a fish's skeleton. The facts we learnt today was that the biggest bone in our body is found inside our legs which is called fever. However the smallest bone in our body is found inside our ear that help's us hear. Also when we are born we only have 300 bones, then as we grow we get 206 bones as an adult. The reason because of this is that when we grow, our bones mend with smaller bones that create bigger bones.

Mirobes

More than ninty percent of microbes are useful or either non harmful and only one percent of microbes are bad, did you know milk turns into yoghurt because of some microbes either live in milk or joghurt. And also the best thing is that they eat all your rubbish such as apple cores, orange pills and many other stuff like that.

Energy circuit

For the light bulb I connected one copper wire to the switch going to the bulb to turn it off and on, also we attached another copper wire to the battery leading to the switch to power it, which was positive. Then I connected another wire to the volt meter. also the end of the wire I put it on  the negative battery side. So this is how we did it, when we tested it the light turned on as I switched it on and off and also the volt meter was working as well. We used the voltmeter, switch, battery and a light bulb.

Also we learnt new vocabulary like : afiliman, tomstan, compact florescent which was a type of light bulb, origin (gas) and also mucury.

Animation

 
I chose this particular animation to create because a while ago, our teacher taught us how to make an animation. It was a basic see-saw rising up then going down, he repeated this step. When he presented, the slides came to life.
