Business and Enterprise.

 Hello fellow readers,

Today I am talking to you about Business and Enterprise. Business and Enterprise is you create a business and you make it. One specific day once you have made all of the thing that you are trying to create you sell it to all of the different kids and adults that look at your stand.

The name of my business and enterprise group is called Crafty Christmas. The people in my group are Riansha ( The CEO ), Esha ( The Marketing Manager ), Isabella ( The Production Manager ), Aone ( The Finance Manager ) and then we have Chelsea ( The Nothing ). Our plan is to make Christmas Ornaments because it is near Christmas.


We are going to either grab wood or get plastic circles and Paint or Lazer Cut. We are up-to the Finance letter to apply for the 20 dollars. That is my job my next step would have to be to create the practice product.

Reflection of Drama.

 Hello fellow readers,

Today we are reflecting about what we done in the past term for drama. I have learnt lots of different styles of drama is the past term.

I enjoy horror because its spooky and its fun to watch people get scared. I have seen the babysitter.
 
I enjoy violence because it gets intense but sometimes you might not be allowed to watch it because of age. I have seen the Avengers Endgame.

I enjoy melo-drama because the fights between the protagonist and antagonist. A melodrama I have watched all of Twilight.

I hope that you enjoyed my blog and please leave a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

MeMe and Me

 Hello fellow readers,


Today I am sharing a story that I read called MeMe and Me. MeMe was an awful girl in the story who was controlling Me's phone. I have some questions that I have to answer on this blog they are about the story don't worry. 


1. Retell the main events in the story, what is really happening? In the story, there is an evil side and a good side. The evil side is in the phone and the good side is not in the phone. Technically, there are really good friends that turn out fake because of the bad side.

2. Explain who MeMe is? MeMe is the bad girl who is trying to get Me and then turns her back on her because Me left her on open, then MeMe got mad.

3.  Do you think something like this could happen in real life? Maybe it depends who you are friends with online. Like Randoms.

4. What is the Authors' purpose for writing this story, what is she trying to tell us? The main purpose that the author is trying to tell us I think is that you don't need a phone because it can turn out to be a really bad thing. Also, pick your friends wisely/ don't add randoms.





I hope that you enjoyed my first blog for September. Have a great day. 😁

Science - Bacteria.

 Hello fellow readers,

Today in Science we are talking about Bacteria. 

WALT 

To look at different types of bacteria.

Bacteria is shapes like a rod or spiral, Bacteria is also inside of your cells and makes up 90% of it. Bacteria is good and bad because there is 90% of bacteria in your body right now and if you didn't have it in your body right now then your body wont adapt properly.

What is bacteria?

1. Feeding:

Most bacteria's are consumers, this means they cant make their own food in sunlight, which means they have to feed by using other living things. Bacteria doesn't have a digestive system like other things. Bacteria will wait for things to decompose before they eat it. They start to eat when it is more rotten.

2. Reproduction

Bacteria do not have any gender. One bacteria does not need another bacteria to reproduce. The name for reproduction is Misosis. To make other bacteria they split to reproduce. They can split every 15-20 minutes. The smaller cells are named daughters which means that they will become identical. When they have reached a certain  size they have to split. Bacteria need's to split in order to survive. 

3. Execration

The food they eat is important to help them live, because it gives them energy, and helps them grow and repair damaged parts. There are also waste products of their digestion – just like in you. These wastes must be excreted, or got rid of, so that the bacteria do not poison themselves. They pass out through the bacterium’s cell membrane, and into whatever they are living on or in. Just like in all living things, two of these wastes are water, and carbon dioxide, which the bacteria release. They also produce substances which may be poisonous if they are on or in living things. We call these poisonous substances toxins. Toxins give you the symptoms of diseases caused by bacteria. Bacteria which feed on living things and cause diseases, are called Pathogenic bacteria, and are harmful to you.

4. Breathing 

All living things need oxygen so that their cells can convert food into energy. This process is called respiration. Bacteria are able to carry out both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is when there is plenty of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs when the supply of oxygen is very limited or even non-existent. The waste products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide which is breathed out, water, and heat. This is why when bacteria start to decompose substances like a dead body, or in a compost heap, or when you have a bacterial infection, the temperature goes up. Bacteria can breathe even if there is no oxygen. When bacteria make things right they produce heat.

Questions & Answers.

 The year that Maori men could vote is in the 1867s.


The reason why men thought women should not vote is because they thought they should be in the kitchen, keeping the house clean and looking after the kids. Another reason why they thought women should not vote is because they thought women should stay home and do all of the jobs, so that when all of the men came home they can just rest.

The statement drinking their wages means that the men would go out the spend their wages on alcohol.

The W.C.T.U help the poor by visiting hospitals, prisons and also setting up a soup kitchen to help men not spend their wages on alcohol.

The main forms that they used in their protests were giving out newspapers, posters, leaflets, had meetings and also held huge protest gatherings with inspiring speeches. 

The reason why she is on our 10$ note is so we can always remember her and the awesome things that she done for this world.


This is the 10$ note.

Science - Yeast

 Hello fellow readers,

Today in Science we are playing around with yeast and trying to make it come alive. 

Yeast is alive in a hibernation state. It is a fungi. 

Aim: To look how yeast is used in food.

Equipment:  

  • spoons
  • kettle
  • Bowl
  • Beaker
  • cloth sieve
  • Funnel
  • Plastic (PET ) Bottle cap.

Materials:

  • 50 ml Warm Water.
  • 1/2 tsp active dried yeast.
  • 1/2 tsp sugar.
Ginger beer 9 for 1 litre ) 
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar.
  • 1 Litre cold water.
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon.
  • 1 tsp ginger beer bug.
Method:
1. In a large bowl, put the sugar and cream of the tartar and then add the warm water.
2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding in the cold water.
3. add the ginger bug into the large bowl.
4. Stir well then pour into your clean bottle.
5. Label your bottle with your groups names.
6. Place all the bottles in the class container.
7. Store in a cool dark place for one week before drinking. 
8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape.

  • The ginger beer must be drunk over 6 days.
  • You must provide your own bottle.

We wanted to see how yeast was best activated. To do this we used 3 conical flasks, a teaspoon of yeast in each one, some warm water in each one and some sugar in one flask. Then put a balloon in each flask. We found out that the flask that had the yeast and sugar inflated the balloon. It showed that when yeast has sugar it activates and creates a gas called carbon dioxide gas.









All About me

 Hello fellow readers,

Today in Tūhura we are doing an all about me poster. It has a picture and a little bit of information about me. 

There is a question that I may have to answer on this blog. The question may be Why is it important to use google images with permission only? The answer to that question would have to be because its not right, it is copyright and also it is really bad to copy someone else's work because you can do way more better. 

Here is my Poster. Thank you for looking at my blog.

Mirror Image .

 Hello fellow readers,

Today in Ngā Tangata we are reading a story called Mirror image and then we have a task to do about the story. The story that i read was called Mirror image and our task was to write a paragraph of the different Story's that I just read. One of them was about one character but then the other one was a different Character. The different names Were Zodwa and the other story with the same name was called Meggie.


What they had in common was that they both know about the springbok tour and they both were wanting to stop the springbok tour because they didn't want the Springbok tour to come. The difference about the story's was that they were about the same thing but doing it in different country's. and one of them they were not in the protest they were just watching it happen on television for there people. Zodwa was different she wanted to make things right was was to busy tied to the television. Meggie was just trying to make things right for Zodwa's people. At the end of Meggie's part was that she was still proud at the ending and not looking down like she didn't accomplish anything she was standing tall and she was looking. All that happened was that when Meggie went to do the protest that ended up having her on TV. That day/night when the protest was happening when Zodwa was watching the rugby but the TV got cut out by the protesting that Meggie was doing so it was all over the TV.

 Hello fellow readers,

Do now - Writing.

 Hello fellow readers,


Today in Te Ao Whanui we are doing another do now but this one is about CARR stamps encourage students to make positive choices.


I disagree with that statement, it does not encourage students to make positive choices because. What if the kid is just having a bad day and they aren't doing the right work? Most teachers dont even use the CARR card stampers to stamp the cards in the first place. What if the teacher doesn't know about the CARR card situation, then they wont know about it and the kids wont get the stamps that they are after. One time I was doing my work and concentrating then next minute my teacher or student comes over with the CARR card stamper they dont even stamp my card. I do like working towards the rewards though. they help me with things at home and even at school. all of the rewards are worth it. I am pretty sure it is 10 full CARR cards then you get a 5 dollar gift voucher for the school cafe. Then we have if you have 20 full CARR cards then you either get a 10 dollar hub voucher or a 10 dollar cafe voucher.I forgot if I told you that I disagreed with that statement.

Persuassive writing. ( year 7-8 should be allowed to have there phones at school )

 Hello fellow readers,


Today in Te Ao Whanui we are doing another do now. 


I personally agree with that statement year 7-8 should be aloud there phones at school. Just in case of an emergency that happens with there parents, they should be able to contact them. When people are stressed out they can listen to music on there phone to calm down. If there was an earthquake then the parents can contact each other. You should always have your own phone with you need to contact, message and listen to music.

Persuasive writing ( Students should not wear school uniform )

 Hello fellow readers,


Today in persuasive writing we are talking about school uniforms and our opinions about them.


I personally disagree with that statement.Here are some reasons why.If we are going on school trip's how are we suppose to tell what school we are from. Also if we aren't showing respect. Respect is an amazing big word it is used for loads of different things. I know that even if we dont have a uniform so that we can actually show our true self but. Even though all of these things are put in place we have skirts, pants, shorts, long sleeved tops, short sleeved tops. When I first started tat the school that I am at right now. When I was a year seven, I wanted to wear long pants but because I was a girl I got told from my mum that most girls wear skirts. I know that I shouldn't say this on my blog but this is a rule on our mufti days. The three b's are Boob's But's and bellybutton's.  I forgot if I already said that I disagreed with that statement

Rock ( Music )

 Hello fellow readers,


Today in Music we are doing rock, rock is a type of music that is up-beat. Here is a song that I found that is rock. Livin on a prayer is a song by a guy named Bon Jovi. Here is the video if you would like to listen to the song. Here are all of the Music Genres that i have found on Google, Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, Country, Oldies, K-Pop, Jazz etc.

Livin on a prayer is my dads second favorite song. Livin on a prayer is a really Beatty song. I dont really know what to say here. All I really have to say is that my father really enjoys this song. Also that Bon Jovi has alot of different songs like. It's My Life, Livin on a prayer etc. Have an amazing day...


Friday 25 June 2021

Persuasive writing. ( It is important that year 7-8 do Friday sport )

 Hello fellow readers.


NOT FINISHED YET!



I completely agree with that statement. It is really important to have a Friday sport at school. It is important because you can get some fitness into you and also just to have a little bit of fun on the last day of school. I play netball on a Friday's at school. It is really important to get some action into it. In netball I mostly play Center, Wing attack or wing defense. those are the main position that I play in netball. 


I also play Football and Hockey sometimes though not all of the times i think that I have only played soccer for this girls group that I go to on a Wednesday. The last time that I played hockey would have to be last year when I was in a hornby group. Every Saturday we would have a game in out black and yellow uniform. Just thought that I should let you know that year 7-8 always has an early lunch after period 3. It goes for half an hour.

I forgot if I had already told you that I completely agree with that statement earlier before.

Persuasive Writing. ( Ice Cream is better than Cake )

 Hello fellow readers,


Today In Te Ao Whanui We are doing another Persuasive writing. The title is Ice cream is better than cake.


I completley agree with that statement, Ice Cream is way more better than cake. I say that because It is cold, Sweet, On hot days you can have it to keep you cool. You can actually put it on a cone and have something crunchy with it. But with cake it can be a treat/reward or you can just have it for the hell of it. Mainly it is all cake cake cake. I barely have Ice cream or cake but if I had to change my decision I would carely decide Ice Cream. Cake's are nice and sweet but sometimes most of the cakes or even the muffins has alot of Sugar and stuff in it. It is the same with Ice Cream to much sugar it is really bad for you. But is it really good to have a treat once and a while. I dont know if I already told you that Ice Cream is way more better than cake.

Persuasive writing. ( Cats are better then dogs )

Hello fellow readers,


Today we are practicing on our Persuasive writing. Our title is cats are better that dogs.

( Cats Are Better Then Dogs )

I completely disagree with that sentence I think that dogs are definitely better because. They are more entertained. They snuggle and cuddle you. They are more loyal. They are so fluffy so cute. They dont get lost easily you can walk them wash them brush them. I know that that sounds like alot of dogs but actually it is worth it. Dogs are the best and I would know that because I own 2 dogs one named Buddy and one named Bella. Cats are bad because they ruin your furniture, they scratch you, they spill water everywhere. I would know because I have one cat and it makes a humongous mess. Even though when the dogs are puppies they chew things up but in the end result they are so nice cuddly and far much more. This is why you should think that dogs are better than cats.

Needs Vs Wants

 Hello fellow readers,


Today In Te Ao Whanui we are talking about our needs and our wants. Te Ao whanui is technically our researching and reading time. i made a google drawing about what are needs and what are wants. for example a house is a need and a PS5 is a want because you don't need a PS5 to survive. If you were to pick out of a House and the latest PS which one would you get? I know that I would pick a house but that is just in my opinion. Here is the google drawing that I was talking about earlier...



Now I am going to explain why these things are needs and why they are wants. Needs: Water is a need because you need to keep hydrated. if you don't if will have a bad result. Medication is in need because if you are really sick and you don't have any medication for it you could actually die.  You need clothing because you ' just want to run around naked because it wont be a good end result. You need food because when you starve you wont be able to survive for long. You need a house or any type of shelter because you could get really cold, it would not end good. Wants: You really don't need any electronics because you could just send letters and you wouldn't have to waste most or all of the money that you have. You don't need board games because you can have fun without them and you can keep yourself occupied. If you want a pet that means that you don't need it because it will just put to much pressure on you and you don't want that kind of pressure. Thanks guys and see you next time.

Copy and paste it into a new tab please to watch the video.

Bungy jumping is a rope that you jump of a platform and you fall down on a rope. You don't actually reach the floor but when you are at the end of the rope you bounce back. Here is my research and my invention. Thanks guys. My picture has a button instead of a clip on it just has a button... : )    


Thank you guys for looking at my work and have a great day...

Music

 Hello fellow readers,


for the past week in music we have been doing the 1970's. Last week we were doing the 1980's. This week we done a recording with one of the instrument's that we learnt. I played a song using a woodwind instrument that is called a recorder. On Wednesday we got told to make a poster around the information of a band or a solo artist but the band or solo artist had to be a new Zealander.

Reading for the day...

Hello fellow readers,


Today I read a new story today and I have new questions to answer on this blog that you are reading right now. If you don't already know that the story was called a new life for and old machine.


What does fisher & Paykel do to help the environment? Fisher & Paykel help with the environment by recycling as many things that they can and not letting good things go to waste. How do they do this? They do this by using machines to create different object's with the rubbish that they are recycling.


What does coal, oil and natural gas do to the environment. The gas is a really bad thing to the atmosphere and peoples surrounding's.


what does non-renewable mean. I think that non-renewable means that you cant use it again and that you have to actually let it go to waste.


The energy of moving things is called. It's called telekinesis. 


Explain in your OWN Words how to work a wind turbine works. they work by electricity.


Thanks for looking at my work and have a great day...


This splat is about what I learnt when I read the story.

Changing Lives: The Omeo Story.

 Hello fellow readers,

Today we are reading a story called Changing Lives: The Omeo Story. The Omeo is a chair kind of like a electric scooter but way more fun and you don't have to stand you can sit. 

Omeos
is a vehicle that can move without having to move the
wheels with your hands. Also you have buttons on the vehicle and it is way easier than
having a wheelchair and
actually using your hand to move
the object. Wheelchairs make your arms sore and this new vehicle that is
called “ Omeo “ doesn't make your arms sore.

The 2 differences would be that the Omeo doesn't make your arms sore and that the
wheelchair does. Also that
the Omeo has a remote and the wheelchair’s don’t.

The most liberating thing about the Omeo is probably the movement and the actual
remote buttons.

Maybe we can invent wheel chairs on water and
that people that have disabilities can actually feel what it is like to be
n a water pool.

 Hello fellow readers,

Why was there a need for sign language do you reckon, there actually was a reason for sign language it was for all of the people who cant talk or people that are actually def.

The def community is a big thing it is all about things understanding different things and understanding people that can walk with sign language.

The city that Sign Language began in was Paris did you know that?

"Invention That I Cant Live Without"

 Hello Fellow Readers,

Today we done a 100 word challenge about an Invention that you cant live without. I Really love my phone like I can never let go of it. In my opinion I think that having your own phone is important and that having it on you all of the time, the main reason why I have a phone is to keep in contact with all of my loved ones, if I am Unsafe or uncomfortable in a situation then I would be able to contact my parent or contact somebody that works or lives close by... 

I hope you like it...

Have a great morning, afternoon, night or day...

Have you ever had an invention that make's your life so much easier? Mine is my phone, because it has lots of information on it and when something goes wrong you can easily message your parents and other family members if you are unsafe or unsure about something that happend. Also It is an easier way to keep in contact with people you haven't seen in a while. In school time if you are stressed out and having a bit of anxiety and depression etc you can just listen to music well you should be able to anyways. THE END

The Hero

 Hello fellow readers,

for the last couple of days me and my hurumanu group have been writing about our heros around a fake story or a real story. I just wrote a random story though. so here it is I hope you enjoy my juat a random story...

Have a good time reading this story called The Terrific Belief.

The Terrific Belief!

Cold and gloomy day there was a mist, with a little child crying. The little girl was crying because she lost her mum. A lady was trying to help her find her mum but she wouldn’t move…


Then I found out she was a mannequin with a voice box inside of her like it was the sound of a little girl crying. Next minute a clown comes out with a creepy face and it ends up being an old man. The old man just stood there staring at the lady, it was a struggle to not stop staring at him it was like he was trying to hypnotize me but it was also really irritating. 


The old man’s name was Zack and the lady's name was Alicia. Alicia was a 32-year old and the old man was an 82-year old. They were both just staring right into eachothers eyes and they couldn't stop. They were bugging each other.


But they  just couldn't stop. Zack was thinking in his head * Alicia is really pretty I want her I am going to take her *. But Alicia was thinking in her head * Ewww why and I am looking at this ugly rat, he is so disgusting *. Then Zack keeped on taking a step closer every time another tick went off the clock. Alicia was thinking at that time * EWWWWW stop coming closer and closer go away *. Every second Zack just gets closer and closer and closer. 


Alicia Thinking * I need to run away quickly * Zack thinking * I need to get her but I think that she is going to run away *. Both of them look at each other and then Alicia runs for her life and Zack follows her.  


“ It Is not a great look,  “ Alicia said.

Zack thinking * I need to run faster to keep up *.

They both run for their life...

Hi I hope you enjoyed my story I highlighted all of the capitail letters while most pf them at least and all of the full stops...
