Summer learning journey day 2

Day 2 – Learning the basics

Now that you have chosen your country, it is time to decide where, within your country, you would like to visit. Many tourists will choose to visit the capital city of a country. It is often quite large and full of interesting things to see and do.

Activity 1

Before you go overseas it will be important that you learn a bit about the capital city of your country. Hop online and find out about the capital city of your country. Use this information to complete the five sentences below:

1. The name of the capital city is ____canberra_______________________
2. The population of the capital city is ____381,488___________________
3. In January, the weather in the capital city is usually ___sunny ____________________
4. The capital city is located in the ___________northern__________ (northern, southern, middle) part of the country.
5. The languages most commonly spoken in the capital city are ___________________________english or with an accent____________________________

Activity 2

One of the most popular activities in Madrid, the capital city of Spain, is called ‘Bullfighting.’ It has been a part of Spanish culture for centuries. In bullfighting people called ‘toreros and ‘matadors’ fight with a live bull. The toreros do most of the fighting and, ultimately, capture the bull and tie it up. Once it has been caught, the matador joins the fight and kills the bull. Although most toreros and matadors are men, there are some women who also compete in the sport.

Not everyone supports bullfighting in Spain. In fact, about 30% of the population want it to be banned (stopped) completely. What do you think? On your blog tell us whether or not you think that bullfighting should be banned in Spain. Please provide, at least, two reasons to support your decision.

I think that bull fighting should be stopped

I think it should be stopped because it is killing the population of bulls all around

I think it should be banned because whats the point of killing bulls and being proud i would feel guilty if you do this for sport you must not have a heart

Bonus activity

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. Have you been to Wellington? If so, please tell us about two things that you did when you were in Wellington.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to go to Wellington, follow the link to learn more about this very cool city: Discover Wellington.

On your blog, tell us what two things you would like to do if you had the chance to visit Wellington. Would you go to the botanical gardens or visit the Beehive? Perhaps you would prefer to go shopping on Cuba Street or go out for dinner on Quay Street…

i went to the beehive in wellington

Day 1 – Choosing a destination

The world is a very big and very cool place. There are currently 196 countries and approximately 7.1 billion people living on earth. For this project we are going to focus on just 10 countries across 6 continents – Canada (North America), Mexico (Central America), Chile (South America), England (Europe), Germany (Europe), South Africa (Africa), United Arab Emirates (Middle East), Japan (Asia), Malaysia (South-East Asia), and Australia (Australasia).

Please click on the ‘World Map’ tab on the main menu. It will bring you to a big map. One by one click on the names of the countries and ready the ‘Quick Facts’ about each place.

Activities

Activity 1

After you have read the quick facts about each place you must choose ONE country that you would like to ‘visit.’ On your blog post the name of the country and tell us why you have chosen to visit it. Please give, at least, two reasons for choosing the country.

I have chosen australia because it is like my second nz so if nz wasn't around i would be at australia and i have always wanted to visit austrailia


I have chosen australia also because i love the spiders,and kangaroos and koula's
it so cool seeing amazing creatures like that

Activity 2

On Google, research the country that you have chosen to visit and write, in your own words, three interesting facts about that country. They must be facts that weren’t already provided on the World Map.

• The outback of australia covers most of the land
• The name of of australia is originated from the latin word australis meaning the southern
• Australia is the home of very strange yet unique animals such as the emu ,koula and the kookaburra

Bonus Activity

Write a letter to a friend or family member to tell them that you are going to visit your country of choice. In your letter, please tell them where you are going, why you have decided to go to the particular country and how long you will be away. Feel free to invite them to join you, if you’d like!

Dear hone i would like for you to join me on coming to australia o have chosen to go here because i love the animals and life and i will be gone for 1 week come along if your free

Writig week 8 Science experiment gone wrong

Dr. Brooklyn  believed that localized infections were the root causes of insanity. After he became the head of an insane asylum in Trenton in 1907, he began implementing a procedure he dubbed “surgical bacteriology.” During that time, Cotton and his team performed thousands of surgical operations on patients, often without their consent. First, they extracted teeth and tonsils; if that wasn’t enough, they would go deeper and remove the internal organs   which they believed were causing the problems. He believed in his methods so much that he even performed them on himself and his family. He extracted teeth from himself, his wife, and his two sons (one of whom also had part of his colon removed).

Cotton claimed that his treatments had a high rate of curing patients, and that claim soon became a lightning rod for critics who found his work appalling. In one instance, he justified the deaths of 49 patients from the colectomies and stated that they were already suffering from “end-stage psychosis” prior to the operations. An independent investigation later revealed that Cotton greatly exaggerated the results. After his death in 1933, the surgeries at the asylum ceased and Cotton’s viewpoints faded into obscurity. To his credit, critics ruled that he really was sincere in his efforts to cure his patients, albeit in an insane, deluded way

T4 W5 Angles Angles Angles

IN room 5 triangles we have been learning about angles and as a group (Me,Daniella And Aliyah)
we have solved these problems but one of them may not  be solved cause of non understanding but that

Science work

Title -

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

What type of fizzy drink tastes better?

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)

fanta Sparkling  raspberry - Anahere Mountain dew homebrand

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

drinks (brand) 4 Cups Marker Contestants (2-4

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.

1. Pour a small amount of each fizzy drink into a cup 2. Number each cup 1-4 making sure you are aware which fizzy drink correspond to each number. 3. Get 3-4 contestants to try for you. 4. Your questions will be! 5. Which of the brands did you like?

Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment.

Mr wiseman: number 2 - Sparkle Mahana: number 4 - Rasberry Sateki: number 3 - Rasberry Owen: number 2 - Sparkle Wesley: number 2 - Sparkle Flynlay : number 2 - Sparkle

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

Our findings were fun and scientific, we all knew which brand of drink would of won. But in their findings we were wrong.

This is our science work we have been doin g in groups with different experiments but we had fizzy drinks

states of matter

In literacy we were learning about states of matter .

Matter is all around us. Matter is the air you are breathing. Matter is the stuff you touch and see. And it is more. Matter is defined as anything that has Mass and takes up space. Matter is found in 3 major states; solid, liquid and gas.

Matter can move from one state to another, but can still be the same substance. A change of state, also called a phase change, is a physical change from one state of matter to another, for example, from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas.


How does matter move from one phase to another? If the motion of the atoms is altered by pressure or temperature, the state can change too. By lowering the temperature of water, it can freeze into a solid. By heating water, it can become steam which is a gas. Whether solid, liquid or gas ‐ water is still water.
Pressure can change matter from one state to another. Deep in the earth solids turn to liquids because the heavy weight of layers and layers of the earth push down on the solids causing them to turn to liquid Magma . This is just one example of how pressure can change matter too.  Other matter changes too, but often only exists in two states or requires the help of humans and technology to move through all three phases. Water is the only matter on earth that can be found naturally in all three - solid, liquid and a gas.

Below is a video for changes in states of matter enjoy

MY REFLECTION

HIGHLIGHTS:

This Term Has been fun,unbelievably fun,1 of the highlights of this term has been playing soccer with my friends and the boys on the field, the hard court,on the court by the field outside room 4 and 5 and 1 and 2 it was quite an experience playing with the boys they always jump and hug but kinda funny.My second highlight would be how me dani ,Aliyah, dezarae and cameo call eachother queen whatever Dani is Queen selfie,Cameo is Queen snapchat,Dez Is MAORI QUEEN,Aliyah is Wagger Queen and i’m Queen Dodgey. we always calleachother these names it is fun and sometimes funny.My third highlight would be Just Dance with my friends how we come together and we kinda look like pros.

Memories and Funny moments:

One of the funniest moments of term 3 was when i went hardcore at soccer bumped the boys off they were crying for a while.One of the other funny moments was when the boys go and kick the ball and Fall over and faceplant in the mudand then dani just keep bumping mubashire and lomio off while me and dezbump off zack and angelo.I remeber when we were doing just dance and we were doing all about that bass and the boys were pretending to be girls.

MY Goals:

One of my goals would be stop being dodgy i’ll try but to be honest i am queen dodgy it is my plague but it ok another goal would be stop talking and laughing to and at the boys.Stop swearing and fighting the boys and finishing of my maths work.

Appreciation for the  teachers and family:

I appreciate everything miss berry,Matua lewin,Whaea saph,miss nua,miss vaafusuaga,mr wisemen,miss flavell, miss tele’a,miss clark and mr burt have taught me throughout the year from the start to the end.All the maths i couldn’t quite get miss nua and miss vaafusuaga and miss tele’a have helped get me to higher standards in math like x100 more.All the literacy miss Berry and matua lewin always help me get all the work i have easier and so i can finish so later i have that little bit of fun everyone enjoys.I also thank miss clark for doing AL7 with us for rotation and walking us down to the college every thursday and matua lewin doing te reo and youthtown doing youthtown. Last but not least i appreciate miss flavell giving me opportunities i could never dream so all i can say in 2 words  Is

THANK YOU
