The All Blacks Activity

The All Blacks Activity

Today in CIP we had to research about the All Blacks and write down what we know and what I want to know and finally what I found out. This is the work we did for period 3.

This is a picture of what we did and what we found out. First we had to watch a video about the All Blacks but didn't get to finish it. We also had to research some facts about the All Blacks.














I really enjoyed doing this and I did found out something I didn't know about the team. Please give me feedback on what I should improve on my Blog posts. 

Stop Write Hear Learning Story( Art Hurumanu )

Stop Write Hear Learning Story( Art Hurumanu )

For the past term and the past weeks of term 3 we have been working on our own Stop Motion. Today is our second final class of Hurumanu Art and the day when we do our Learning Story of what we did for Art and what we have learnt about Hurumanu Art. I was partnered with Ella and Nykachia.

On Hurumanu Art we were doing a Stop Motion but first we were divided into groups some of us had  4 people in our group and some and more or less. First we had to think of an idea that involves in Manaakitanga after that the teachers gave us a storyboard to plan what our ideas would look like. Then we could an option of how we were gonna do are stop motion on we could either choose clay or white board.

I learnt that even though the Stop Motions weren’t perfect everybody put a lot of effort onto them and worked hard to finish them that it doesn’t matter if it isn’t perfect. I enjoyed making the drawings for our Stop Motion and I got to use an app that I have never used before and working with new people that I normally don’t really work with or talk with all the time it was exciting to make.

What I found difficult is that making the drawings and rubbing the drawings of and redrawing them again was difficult even for my teammates was really hard and doing it for the whole period was so tiring.

This Hurumanu was really exciting and very tiring but sadly everything has to end but a new one will start. Please give me feedback on what I should improve on my writing.

Here is my groups Work( The Stop Motion doesn't have audio)

What is biomass? Biomass is a renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal materials which can be used as fuel. An example of biomass is plant material that produces electricity with steam.
What are the 5 types of biomass?

1.  Garbage.
2.  Wood.
3.  Crops.
4.  Landfill.
5.  Alcohol fuels.

What are three benefits of biomass?

1.   Biomass is always and widely available as a renewable source of energy. 
2.   It reduces the overreliance of fossil fuels.
3.   It is less expensive than fossil fuels.

What are three disadvantages of biomass?

1.   Biomasss energy Can lead to deforestation.
2.   Biomass plants require a lot of space.
3.   Biomass energy is not as efficient as fossil fuels.

Research the following types of Biomass.
You will need to:

Write a definition of the each fuel.

Answer each question 

• How is it made? 
• What is it used for?　
• Where is it made? 
• What is it made with?　
• What countries use it?   

Place 2 images of the fuel.　
What are its uses in the future?

DLO KIDS CAN

DLO KIDS CAN
today in period 4 we had to do a DLO about Kids Can.

I really injoyed doing this DLO Please gie me feedback on what I should do next time.

Term 3 CIP Reflection

Term 3 CIP Reflection

Last week we were planning on making a mufti day on 8th of August, I had to make a DLO but with a partner, my teamate was Liyah we made a DLO about the mufti day and what we need.

1.What was the planning process? How did we come up with our theme? The planning was to get into 3 or 4 groups and we had to design our own styles on clothes, accessories and food. We came up with our theme by everyone telling the teacher the theme that they came up with and all of us had to vote on which one was the most interesting theme or the theme they liked.

2.Who are we raising money for? What do you know about them? We are raising money for Crazy Kids can. We know that kids can is giving things that we need for the poor.

3.What makes a successful Mufti Day? A succsesful mufti day means that everyone is wearing what tehy are suppose to wear and it also means bringing the items that we were told.

4.What jobs did you have/will you have? How is this spreading Kindness to our community? My job on this CIP was to make a DLO on what we need for Mufti day. This Mufti day is spreading kindness by taking all the gold coin donations and giving them to kids can which goes to the kids that don't have the things they need.

Here is our DLO



I really can't wait for tomorrow, I wonder what everyone will wear tomorrow? Please give me feedback on what I should improve.

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light

3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. Straws x4
2.   cups x4
3.   pin.
4.   pencil.
5.   Tape.

STEPS

1.    Tape the 2 starws together and also the other 2.
2.   Make a hole in both sides of the cup.
3.   Put the straws to the holes, do the same to the other one.
4.   Tape them together and make sure the cups are facing the sideways.
5.   Now get your pin and pin both of the straws over and under one another to the rubber of the pencil.

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10 secs	1 spin
2.	10 secs	none
3.	10 secs	?
4.	10 secs	?

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

CONCLUSION:

Our first one worked nd it can spin. but theres not that much wind to spin it all around an also we didn't have enough time to spin it more 1 time.
