Fire proofing / bush fires (They correlate I promise)

1. How do bushfires start and how has climate change made them more common?
Bushfires start when the plants have dried up because of a extended period of time, and some sort of spark ignites the plant matter. This could be from a natural course a lightning strike, rocks falling on each other causing a spark, or it could be because of humans, someone throwing a still lit cigarette butt out the window, someone not putting their campfire out probably. Climate change can make these more common because the heat can dry out the plants faster, meaning the bushfire 'season' will get longer and longer


2. What are 3 ways you could fire proof your house if you lived in an area likely to get bush fires?
Try build your house with bricks, if you can't do that use stucco to coat the outside. Use gypsum on the inside, and try to use a couple layers. Try to get fire resistant glass for you windows and have the frames steel if possible.   

3. When something burns it combusts, what is the difference between complete and incomplete combustion?

The difference is that when something completely combusts it means it has burned with plenty of oxygen, and has made carbon dioxide and water. (the equation is Fuel + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + Water). When it incompletely combusts it means it has burned with not enough oxygen, and it makes either carbon monoxide and water or just carbon and water (the equation is Fuel + Oxygen --> Carbon Monoxide + Water or Fuel + Oxygen --> Carbon + Water) 

 

Home Economics culture unit

 In Home Economics this term, we have been doing a culture unit where we researched a country we knew little to no information on, and found out their culture around food edicate. This is what me and my group did. I'm sorry if there are unfinished slides, I had absolutely no help with it as my group was constily away and never did any work (Yes I am salty, and pissed, no I do not care) Enjoy.

Evaluation. (I know this is on the slides, I'm just petty)

Strengths: We got the work done, and to a decent quality.

Weakness: People not showing up to class leaving me to do all the work, by myself.

Improvements: Come to class, or at least do the work in your own time. and not leaving it all on flipping person!

 

Persuasive writing: Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

LO:We are learning to express our views on a topical issue using ‘Write That Essay’ sentences.

In English we are looking at persuasive writing. We have to look at a current common political issue and decide where we stand with it, and then write three sentences about our opinion on the topic, using write that Essay sentence structures. This is mine

Interestly, LGBTQ+ couples don't have the same adoption rights as straight cis couples. Love is love; parents are parents. All a child needs is, parents, people to love them, a home.

Adverb start: Interestly, LGBTQ+ couples don't have the same adoption rights as straight cis couples.

Semi-colon: Love is love; parents are parents.

Red white and Blue :All a child needs is, parents, people to love them, a home.

Tricolons

 In english yesterday we made a short presentation on a language feature. My group did tricolon. Here is the presentation

DTE

In  DTE we have been doing a sphero project were we get given a sphero, and told, go make something. Me and my group decided to make a race track, and have the spheros race around that. That has not gone well. 

We started with 'research' and wasted a couple of periods until I got sick of not being told what to do, and decided to actually get some work done, so I started to make a track. Braydon then started with the coding. After a while we realized that something was wrong. Every time we ran the code, even without changing it, the outcome would change. Under turn the corner, then the next time over turn. So we spent the next three and a half weeks trying to fix the coding (We still haven't sorting that out) Mr Carter then told us we had to redo the track because it looked like, and I quote "like some my drunk uncle would make." So we re-did the track, making some changes, most noticeably the corners. We used to have rounded corners, but we decide that sharp 90o would be better. We then took it to the art space to paint it. We took the next three days to paint it. 

Evidence/pictures of our work will come soon

Personal thoughts

I have not enjoyed it all that much.  Things not going right, people not doing as they are told (*CoughcoughboysCoughcough*) Sorry had to clear my throat. I will amit, it had merit, it was a good(ish) idea, and had it worked, it would have been quite cool. We just didn't execute it well. 

DTE race track

23rd October 2020,

In class for the past Term and week we have been working on a Sphero code what has been completed at the moment:

1. Idea 1 of track
2. Code 1
3. Idea of better track
4. 1 layer of grass paint
5. Starting line
6. Road drawn out
7. Second coat of grass paint

This has been hard on all of us and some have stressed and have been struggling with making the track to ideas. But overall this team is going well.

Pictures available soon.

(Sorry for bad Grammer, I did not write this) 

Volcano Project

 In science we are making model volcanoes. Here is the process  

Building it

To build it, we were given a milk bottle, a cardboard sheet, news paper, and a water and glue mixture. We were told to paper mache the milk bottle into a volcano shape. Easier said than done. I struggled for the entire period, making an only mediocre looking volcano, that I then was told looked good!? I don't know. Anyway, we left it to dry over the long weekend.

Painting it

Yesterday, we were painting it. There was a trolly full of art supplies and we were set loose. (*Insert evil grin here*) My group painted our volcano grey, before adding metallic paints, because, shiny, and then red spilling from the top as lava. It surprisingly looks good. I will now believe people telling me it looks good.

Introduction (Children of Blood and Bone)

In english we are stating to learn to write our essay. Today we did the Introduction. This is mine 

The novel Children of blood and bone by Tomi Adeyemi is about a girl who tries to save magic with her friends.
In the text, the relationship between Zelie and Yami helped me to understand the character of Zelie. This is because it showed me How when Zelie puts her mind to do something she will do it to her best ability, How she does not quit, and how determined she is to succeed.

Essay Planning

    In English we are looking our Essay for the story Children of Blood and Bone. We were put in groups to brainstorm about how we wanted to answer the Essay question, Describe a key event in the text. Explain how that event changed an important character. Here is what we came up with

    Our Key event is When Zelie, Tzain, and Amari entered into the ship fight and won, getting the sunstone.

    The character we chose was Amari, and the changes we found was: she becomes stronger, she becomes less afraid, the thought of the lioness was sitting inside her brain, and slowly subconsciously making her stronger and more powerful, she faced her fear of killing, and she stops being 'a prissy little princess, and becomes a fighter.

Rube Goldberg Machine

In science we made a Rube Goldberg Machine. That was.... not fun. Sadly. My group made it out of Lego, cardboard, tape, a stiaphome cup, more tape, lego, tape, and lots of trial and error. A lot of error. And having no idea what we were doing. And some stress thrown in there as well. And lots of fiddly things breaking, then not wanting to go back together. then going together, just to break again three seconds later. Then finding a very simple solution to a problem you've had from the start, in which you have come up with the stupidest solution, that doesn't even work all that well.

Moving on from... that. The simple machines that made up the Rube Goldberg Machine were/are inclined planes ({Read out of the sci-pad} Inclined planes are ramps, and like levers, they reduce the amount of effort needed to lift a load. The steeper the incline the more effort is needed to move the load upwards. Just like Levers if you use a longer, less steep incline to reduce the effort needed, you will need to apply the effort over a longer distance.) And more inclined planes.

Stone Age Essay

In Social studies we have been looking at technology though the ages, and I was looking at the stone age. After we had done all the research, we had to write an essay. Here is mine

During the stone age time period, there were some significant inventions made. Some of these inventions were the Mano and metate, hand axes, and hammer stones. These inventions are still used today, in this day and age.

An important invention seen in the stone age was the Mano and Metate were two stones that were used to grind things up. The metate was a large flat stone, and the Mano was a smaller stone. They used a rocking, grinding/circular or chopping motion to grind up the objects. This was an important invention because it meant they could do things like grind up the stones to make paint, find up grains for advancements in food, and make the earliest forms of medicine. Nowadays it is called mortar and pestle. The mortar is a bowl, typically made out of ceramic, hard wood, hard stone (such as granite) or metal. The Pestle is a heavy and blunt club-shaped object. They are still used for the same thing. This is why this is an important invention of this time period.

Another invention seen in the stone age was the hammer stone. The hammer stone was usually a hard stone which doesn’t break easily. It was made of sandstone, quartzite, or limestone and used for breaking other stones which were converted into other stone tools with sharp edges. This meant that the early men were able to start hunting predators, and start eating meat and not just plants. The hammer stone has evolved over time to the hammer that we know today. Now, instead of just being a hard stone, It is a piece of metal, of varying weights and shapes, on a handle, usually made of wood or plastic. This was another important invention of the stone age

Also seen in the stone age was the hand axe. It was made out of a sharpened stone. To make it they would take a large rock and hit it with their hammer stone until they get their desired shape. They used Hand axes to dig holes, chop wood, catch prey and prepare skins and food. This was the earliest form of a knife, axe, and shovel. Nowadays we use a metal blade, on a handle of wood or durable synthetic materials.This was a significant invention of the stone age.

There were many Significant inventions made in the stone age. Some of the ones disused were the Mano and Metate, the Hammer stone, and the hand axe. These are all commonly seen today, just in different forms and by different names, all around the world and are still very important today.

Catapults

In science we made catapults! we useds spoons popsicle sticks and rubber bands to make them. there was a simple version, the one i did, and a complicated one, the one Thomas did. we fired mini marshmallows into containers worth different points.  I didn't get any in though. I got close though!, pictures coming soon!

Maths - Substitution

In math we have been looking at substitution. Substitution into an equation involves replacing a variable with a number when it is known and then evaluating that equation (calculating the value of the result), It is always important to remember the following
- Always use the correct order of operations - BEDMAS
- One or more variables or numbers next to each other (Such as 3a or xyz) means to multiply them.
- A fraction represents division (Top ÷ bottom)
- Don't forget to replace a variable with it's value every time it appears in the formula.

now that boring stuff is out of the way..... Why are my math blogs my weirdest blogs? Oh well. Welcome, to my head. My logic brain is telling me not to do this, my Crackhead/crazy brain is trying to stop them, by throwing them out a window, my caring brain is trying to catch my logic. My Anxiety is curled up in a corner trying to sleep. My writing/author brain is enjoying this very much, and my fander brain is also enjoying this alot. My weeb brain is trying to make me write about BNHA, and my logic, who has since recovered from being thrown out a window, is trying to stop them.  They have been thrown out the window again. They need to stop doing that, fixing windows is expensive. My ADHD brain is well, pizza. They are now eating said pizza. Now everyone has just crashed and I don't know why. Logic is telling me to stop this and get back to work. Everyone else is shouting at them to stop. They have now thrown him out the window, again. My Mum brain is now patching the cuts on Logic, and then is going to make cookies. Child brain is going to help. My Weeb brain is reading fanfiction now, and is yelling at Hisashi Midoriya for being such a (Censored by Mum) Father. ADHD has finished their pizza and is looking for something to do. My Potterhead brain is waving a stick they found in the garden screaming "EXPELLIARMUS STEVE!" My Half-blood brain is running around with them, how-ever they are waving a trident, and they would tell me where they got it from. Somehow they have also managed to get a Heckpuppy to play with them. Also won't tell me where that came from. Yes this is all happening, I have just learnt to ignore it most of the time. I may do a blog at some point introducing all my different brains. Who knows. We'll see. GOODA BYE! 

Difference in food

In Home economics we are looking at the differance in food from when the maoris were the only inhapatance, to when the settlers came, and then now. we made a table on food type, availability, where they sourced the food from, preparation, cooking methods, and technology

(picture is coming soon) 

how has food changed in the last 100 years and what have been the big reasons for this change? we are able to have food that is out of session in our country, because of the advancements in technology, being able to ship things and keep them fresh. we have also made a lot more pre-made meals, again due to technology advancements, people working longer hours and not having time to cook.

what was something you didn’t know about changes in Nz Food that you learnt from the cards. I don't know/ think there is anything

what could you see happening to food in another 50 years time? Instant cooking (heating/cooling) less fresh food, it is mostly pre-made things, fresh food is expensive.

what could you invent or change that would create a large impact on how we gather, produce or eat food. I'm not sure. My weeb brain goes, make a Nomu cow or something, basicly a mindless animal, so that we don't feel bad about killing it. My logic brain then tell it to shut up, and that that is a terrible idea and not to do that, because it did not work well in the anime. My weeb brain is arguing that those Nomus were made to fight, to be mindless, strong, unstoppable tools in war, we are just making nomu cows, not tools in war. Just cows. That have no mind so we don't feel bad about killing it. Logic and Weeb are now at war. Logic is winning. Let's move on, and come back to them. Child brain is talking about instant cooking. Random Brain is talking about peanuts for some reason, ADHD brain is helping. Logic has calmed Weeb down, by putting BNHA on the tv. All is calm. everyone has moved to do their own thing, and Realisation Brain realised, we still haven't answered the question

wind racers

In science on friday, we made Wind Racers. We had 30 minutes to build the racer, and then we raced them. I was in a team with Braydon

(Picture coming soon)

Calculate the speed.
 V=Δd/Δt
 Δd=9m
 Δt=10.34s (ish I don't remember)
 9m/10.34=0.870406189555
 V=0.870ms-2

Why did I choose my style? How could I have changed my design to make the racer go faster?
I choose the style I did because I thought it would go fast. Big sail, means lots of wind can be caught, meaning speed. That didn't happen. One, the racer kept breaking, and two, the sail was very floppy soo, that didn't help.
What could I do to make it go faster, tie the sail down, attach things better, maybe have a different sail shape

Stone age technology

In Social Studies we have been looking at technology though the ages. Paige Thomas and I looked at the stone age. here is the work we did


https://www.visme.co/timeline-maker/

1. Explain the advancements in technology for your era in paragraph format

The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years and ended with the advent of melting and smelting of copper between 8700 and 2000 BCE. In western Asia this occurred by about 3000 BCE, when bronze became widespread. The term Bronze Age describes a time where certain cultures that had developed techniques and technologies for working copper into tools, replacing stone in many ways. Stone Age artifacts that have been discovered include tools used by modern humans, by their predecessor species in the Genus Homo, and possibly by the earlier partly contemporaneous genera Australopithecus and Paranthropus. The Stone Age happened at the same time of the evolution of the genus Homo, with the possible exception of the early Stone Age, when species prior to the Homo may have manufactured tools. Homo erectus, the predecessor of modern humans, found an ecological niche as tool makers and developed a dependence on it.

2. Include a timeline of the main technologies discovered in your era include dates and images




3. Select 5 of these inventions and explain what they do and how they improved everyday life.

Hand ax. It was made out of a sharpened stone. They were used to dig, chop wood, catch prey and prepare skins and food.





Fire (pit) Man found out that striking Iron pyrites onto flint would produce sparks (which were few and far between, and cold), which could be caught in horses hoof or King Alfred cake fungus, so they could turn that into fire.







Paint and art, they would have made the paints from ground up rocks and the brushes, would either be their hands twigs, moss, or horse hair brushes. They also blew paint onto the walls with bone tubes and reed pipes. They made the paint by grounding up colored rocks or charcoal, and mixing it with spit, water or animal fat. The cave painting was one of the ways modern humans learned of their predecessors.



Hammer stone was usually a hard stone which doesn’t break easily. It was made of sandstone, quartzite, or limestone and used for breaking other stones which were converted into other stone tools with sharp edges.







Mono and metate were two stones used together to crush things down to a dust or pulp. One of the things it was used for was to grind up plants, making the earliest form of medicine. 

Harpoons were used for hunting purposes. Big aquatic animals like whales were killed using harpoons. A rope could be attached to the harpoon to pull the hunted animals toward the hunter.




4. Are these things still used today? How much have they changed/or not explain and show images

Hand axes are now mainly made of a sharp metal blade attached to a wooden handle, however some could be made with plastic handles, and are mainly used for chopping wood. They are more durable, and can last longer without having to be sharpened



Fireplace it can keep a house warm and has upgraded from a brick implement that could be shaken down by an earthquake to one made of metal. We have also invented matches and lighters, which make lighting a fire much easier.




Modern day hammers, once a hard rock, have now become a piece of shaped, hardened metal attached to a handle, made out of wood, plastic, or metal. Some hammers are heavier and are used to demolish/smash things, and others are smaller and are used to drive nails into wood. They can also be used to remove nails.




Mortar and pestle coming from the moto and metate is also used by rubbing two stones together but the stones have been shaped for modern needs. They are also more durable, and are less likely to wear down




Art, We now can make synthetic paints that stick well and are very pigmented, and we have brushes that last a long time, and are better/easier to use. We also have different types of paints for different jobs, and for different looks , (Watercolor, acrylic, poster, oil, gouache, outdoor ect)



Harpoon guns are still used for fishing but now guns are motorized and are now made of a metal spike rather than a long and sharp piece of bone. They also have longer strings/wires and can pull in larger fish.




5. Include a clip explaining the advancements of technology in your era.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L87Wdt044b0


6. Create a replica of one of these inventions out of easy to reach materials from around school and home or create an artwork that represents/shows off all the amazing things that were invented and discovered during your era.

Cave art

Egg drop

In science we are looking at forces and motion, so we did an egg drop. Why? I'm not 100% sure, but it was fun nonetheless.

We had a foam spongy thing that had a hole in it where we put the egg, then had a fiber pad thing under that, and fluffy cotton on top. We wrapped all that in bubble wrap, and then added skewers as leg thingys. Then lastly we made a parachute and attached that. It weighed 105.30 grams. Pictures will be coming when they come though.

We dropped in T9, and....... the Egg broke. *Sad face* Na it survived. *Happy face* Most did, I think only one broke. afterwards the boys were being..... boys, and were kicking it as if it was a football/rugby ball.

Food time line

In home economics we have been looking at the advancements in food in New Zealand, we had to make a timeline for it. Here is mine

Sorry if you can not read it, I have no idea how to make it bigger 

Critical Literacy Questions for Children of Blood and Bone

In english we have been reading Children of blood and bone. I have finished the book ahead of the class so.... ya. It was a good book, but I won't talk about it in case of spoilers. 

Warm-up…
Who would be most likely to read this text and why? Young adults, it is very action packed, definitely not for younger readers as it is a little bit graphic and is slightly suggestive.

What sort of genre does the text belong to? fantasy adventure.

What does the author of the text want us to know? (Could be many things here) People aren't their parents, discrimination is a thing, and how it can be implied. you are stronger than you know? I dont know any others


Let’s get critical…
Whose views are excluded in the text? Privileged in the text? People like King Saran, Tzain, Kaea, are excluded, and Zelie, Amrai and Inan is Privileged, meaning they get to talk

Who is allowed to speak in this text? Zelie Amrai and Inan

Is the text fair? Not really, because they don't show the king's perspective, or Kaea's, who have the opposite goal then the main three. 

What positions, voices and interests are at play in the text? The interests shown/are at play are that the maji are good and should be brought back

Why is the text written the way it is? (3 characters’ viewpoints) So you get more sides of the story, you get information that the characters dont know, it makes it more interesting

Hope these answers are good. 

DTE Recap

In DTE so far in this term, we have been do intro stuff, This is what we have done.

The first couple of lessons we made a website to display our work.

https://sites.google.com/hornby.school.nz/michaelas-work-site/home

We then looked at how computers work

We also made a design process poster thing. This was easyish to do. Nothing much to say here

inspiration 

Then we made Infographics on ergonomics, I didn't finish that, so there is no picture (I literally only have a title and a chair on it. everything else came and went). Why I didn't finish, I don't really know, but it is not from lack of trying, I think I was just very confused and didn't know what to put. I'm not 100% sure, I just think that day just wasn't my day.

Somewhere in there, we also went on Code.org, and/or Tinkercad and played around on that.

I have kinda enjoyed what we have been doing. I would prefer more coding but I know we have to do the intro stuff first. Watch me in a couple of weeks be going "There is to much coding!" But I mean, this is a coding course sooo, that is to be expected.

Jam drops

In Home Ec, we made Jam drops. We made these because we are looking at culture and how it shaped our food we eat today. The Jam Drops are from England brought over by the british settlers. We used self raising flour, which the settlers wouldn't  have because they wouldn't have baking powder, they would of had to use something else.

Careers Inquiry

In Social studies we have been looking at Careers and what we want to do when we leave school. I decided to do an Inquiry on Early Childhood Education (ECE) I have always wanted to be a teacher, and only recently I thought about ECE. I want to do ECE because I think I would be good at it, and I'm good with little kids. (it used to be because I like being in control =) )

FQ 4: Evaluating your Job – the what and why you are interested in this career

You need to answer these questions and you are expected to write a paragraph for each.

Why do you think this job is important, what values does it promote? I don’t know. It’s important for kids to learn and grow and the EC teachers are here to help that. I really don’t know

Why have you chosen this career to investigate? I think it may be fun, and I think I would be good at it

What qualities and skills do you already have that suit this career? I help in the Creche in church other than that not much

What qualities and skills do you need to develop for this career? a way to control my temper, and get more patients. and to be better at faking my emotions, in other words a lot.

The job market is competitive, what can you do now or in the near future to out-compete others for this job? I have no idea.Make a good Cv?

I think this job is important because kids need to learn and grow, and ECE helps with that. I have chosen this career because I think I would find it fun and I think I would be good at it. I have experience from helping in Creche at church, but other than that I don’t have any skills and/or qualities already. I will however have to learn to control my temper, and get more patients. I would also have to learn to better fake my emotions. I’m not sure how I will out-compete the others looking into this job but I will try my best anyway

What worked / went well for you during the research?
Having the website there with answers,

What have you found challenging during the research?
I don’t know.

How did you try to overcome these challenges?
Well if I don’t know the challenges, how can I overcome them?*

If you were to do this again what would you do differently and why?
I would possibly do counseling instead? I don’t know. But then again, when do I ever?

financial literacy (part 2)

In math we have been looking at Financial literacy, (And yes, this time, I have something to write about)

SO! We have been looking at Percentages and how to work them out. SO! Here are the equations we have looked out

"To write an amount as a percentage, write it first as a fraction and then convert it into a percentage"

(top ፥ bottom x 100 or amount ፥ total x 100)

For example 

3 out of 25.

3 

25

3 ፥ 25 = 0.12

0.12 x 100 = 12 

12%

"To calculate an certain amount, use this rule"

(Percentage ፥ 100 x amount)

FOR EXAMPLE! 

25% of 66

 25 

100

25 ፥ 100 = 0.25

0.25 x 66 = 16.5

25% of 66 is 16.5

"For percentage increase, multiply the original amount by"

(1+ percentage ፥ 100) 

SO! For example 

A 15% increase for $40

115

100

115 ፥ 100 = 1.15 

1.15 x 40 = 46

LOOK! I DID MATH THIS TIME! BE PROUD OF ME! It is kinda boring though. Time to spice things up! So... Pictures or random shiz? Both....? *evil smirk* LETS GO! Pic's first! 

Sooo. I got distracted and can no longer add random shiz here, SO HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL BOYS (and girls) INSTED
