Rocket Science

 

On Wednesday afternoon at tech we had Mr. Dunn (vice principle of Tamaki Collage). Mr. Dunn was a cool teacher to work with. We had made soda straw rockets and saw how far it could go in meters. 

When we got to the end of the session we had a little competition. But when it came to the end there were only 3 finalist it was Lilly, Leitupou and I.  The prizes were a bar of chocolate and a sticker for 1st, KitKat w/ sticker for 2nd and gummy worms for 3rd place.

                                                                                   Sunipa - 1st

                                                                                   Leitupou - 2nd

                                                                                   Lilly - 3rd

Skulls and bones

Last week at my science class we learned about skulls and bones. We examined the skulls and bones that was given to us by Mrs. Sharma. 

We had drawn diagrams of the skulls. I was afraid of touching it because they were real skulls and bones and the smelt horrible.

Earthworms

Yesterday at tech we studied earthworms. We learned that 27 species of worms live in the UK. We also learned that a football field could have up to 2 million worms underneath the players feet. 

The Clitellium is kind of like a pouch for the maturing eggs to finally hatch. 

NZ Election 2020

The New Zealand 2020 elections will be held on the 17th of October on a Saturday, but early voting will start on the 3rd of October. It is very crucial because the election is very close and New Zealand needs the  right person to lead this country. If you are 16 and over you would need to put your vote in because every vote counts. If you had been watching first leaders last night on your TV then you would see the prime minister and Judith Collins going head to head. 

Taranaki For The Win

Taranaki have won the Ranfurly Shield a few days ago in Christchurch. The amber's and all blacks have beaten Canterbury 23-22 in the shield matches not to long ago. The All blacks fullback, Jordie Barrett was one of the many stars kicking the match-winning goal. On the night of the games Taranaki played superbly on the field in the first half. 

However, Canterbury snatched 3 questioning goals in the 2nd half of the game. Taranaki will go up against Otago in their seventh Ranfurly shield reign.  

Plastic

 

Today at tech we learned more about plastic and how it can destroy the environment. We had to bring reusable plastic containers, bottles and cups to the class today for the activity we had to do.  

I had some much fun today doing this activity because had to put each item into the correct group. It was like solving puzzles.

Being A Scientist

 Today in Mrs . Sharma's class we learned new words that relate to the science we do at school and in tech. We extended our scientific vocabulary and did some activities. We learned about biology, physics and chemistry.    

We also learned about the equipment in the lab. I really enjoyed myself today in science. Since the year 7s and 8s are learning about genomes, we understood what Mrs . Sharma was saying.

Artificial Reef Being Made In Marlborough Sounds

Marlborough sounds are creating an artificial reef that can change the world.

This weeks boatload of mussel shells was dropped off at Marlborough's shore. The idea is to create a reef that will help revive marine life and a multi million-dollar industry. 12 tonnes of mussel shells were also dropped off at Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere. The idea is to restore the mussel beds that was wiped out by over fishing for the past 50 years. The reefs would be monitored regularly and people will also do some research on the reef for scientific study.

Air NZ Reopening Flights For Auckland

 

Air New Zealand will resume flying all of its Auckland domestic routes. The program will start today.

Since Auckland is in alert level 2.5 masks will be mandatory on all public transport so we can stop the spread. Air New Zealand will have rules on the plane and when you enter. 

The valet parking services and lounges will reopen from Monday but all the lounges will have a maximum capacity of 100 people.

Air New Zealand will also provide medical masks in all of the lounges. 

Science

 Today was my first session in Mrs. Sharma's science class. Since Auckland is still in quarantine until Sunday at 11:59pm everyone in the class had to see each other in a google meeting. All of the students that attended the class had introduced themselves to Mrs. Sharma. After the meet and greet, all of the students had to do a quiz to see what we already know and what we don't know. The google meeting session was fun.

Mango Juice

 This afternoon Alamoni, Alilia and I made our very own mango juice because we didn't have anything to do so we went into the kitchen and started making it. Luckily we had all the ingredients in our kitchen. In the end it turned out really delicious and gorgeous.

Ingredients:                            Equipment:

Nice ripe mangoes                 strainer

1/3 of coconut cream             jug

2 table spoons of sugar         bowl

1/2  cup of water                        grater

 Instructions

The first thing to do is pick the right mango. Next thing your going to do is peel it then grate it until you can see the seed in the middle. Once your grated mango is in a bowl you will need to add these 3 ingredients in, 1/3 of coconut cream, 2 table spoons of sugar and 1/2 cup of water, then mix. When you are done mixing grab the jug and strainer. Tip the mixture into the strainer and sift it until there are no chunks. Pour the juice that you have just made into a cup or bottle and drink up. If you still have the mango that you have just sifted you can eat it or make more juice.

King Street Bridge

King street bridge was a fun and confusing story I have read this year. A lot of the time I didn't know which character was which. My friend Kate thought Rebecca and Lyza were the good guys, making Hera and Jules the bullies. Anyways it was a fun story to read with my reading group. King street bridge is a cool story to read. Down below are 2 pages that was my favorite from the story.

Page 4 & 5

As Hera walked towards the bridge, she saw Rebecca and Lyza waiting for her in the shadow of the trees. Lyza and Rebecca cackled as they mocked and made Hera feel uncomfortable. Hera’s fear took control of her body making her throat and chest close up like a fist. She tried to breath for air but her airway felt so tight she couldn’t and collapsed to the rough ground.  Hera was lying down unconscious on the wet grass while Rebecca was fanning her with her reading book. Lyza freaked out thinking she killed Hera with the help of Rebecca. The 2 girls felt guilty of what they did. Hera's eyes began to open up seeing 2 big shapes coming toward her seeing if she was OK.

Top 5 Countries to Visit After Lock Down

A few words:
If you like to travel or want to travel around the world these are some countries you should visit after lock down.

The List:

1. New York City

If your a food person like me then you would differently want to travel here. Why you ask well, NYC has a lot of iconic food places and if you haven't eaten their most delicious cheesecake well that means you need to go there, But when the time is right.

   2.  Hawaii
Sand between your toes, a sunset so beautiful you can't take your eyes of it and water so clear you just want to swim with the exotic sea creatures. Those are the perfect words to describe Hawaii and how beautiful it is. If you want to relax and chill Hawaii is the place you go to.

  3. London
Seeing the Big Ben light up at night and riding on the London eye which is a giant Ferris wheel. Those are the perfect things to do in London.

  4. Paris   
Climbing the Eiffel tower to see a breath taking view at the top is the most beautiful thing you can see in Paris. But the Eiffel Tower is just one of the beautiful things to see. Paris also has a the Cathedral of Notre Dame, The Cathedral is widely known for  the story of " The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

 5. Your home island  
If you haven't visited your home island you should go there so you can get to know where you grew up and get to know your culture. It is also a thing for you so you can get some souvenirs for your current home and so you don't forget where you came from.

Stay home, stay safe and remember to watch the news.

Drawings

My Drawings
A few weeks ago I had drawn 2 pieces of art that I was really proud of so I took a photo of it and you will now see the drawings down below. Th first drawing that I did was a drawing of a skull on fire the next on is a drawing that I did of deadpool in a cemetery. I learned how to draw from my brothers and YouTube. My brother Alamoni is an amazing artist, he has done some awesome drawings of the Kid flash and Kakashi. My siblings and I like anime a lot.

Remember to stay safe in your bubble and keep updated by watching the news. 😎😃✌

 

Atlantis

A picture of what Atlantis could look like - on the left

A mythical island that has been lost undersea for 424 years! wow that is a lot of years, but Atlantis was once ruled by a powerful king named Atlas. Atlas was made the rightful king of the entire island and ocean, the sea was called The Atlantic Ocean in his honor.

The "true" story of Atlantis
The founders of Atlantis were half god and half human. They created a Utopian civilization that was  made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife. There was a great capital city on the central island.

My Opinion
I believe in a lot of things and I believe in Atlantis, because all you have to do is believe in the wildest things like lost islands or a strange universe to make it become a reality.

COVID 19: Using Blood Infusions To Help Find A Cure

Blood Infusion Definition 

Scientist have been working very hard to find a cure for the Coronavirus. They have been working on a really genius idea that could work but at the same time could go very wrong, they have been working on blood infusions. Hospitals around the United States and caregivers are using a century year old convalescent plasma therapy treatment — siphoning blood from survivors and re infusing it into the sick. That just means the nurse or doctor will draw out blood from the recovered patient and test it out with the right mixture of medicine until they have the perfect cure, then they will infuse it into the sick person.

“I think of it as a bridge, until we can develop a vaccine or pharmaceutical treatment that can be shown to be safe, effective, and can be produced in mass quantities” says Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, who is studying the use of this convalescent plasma in COVID-19 patients at Stony Brook Medicine.

2 Subjects

Today I wanted to do something different, I wanted to talk about my 2 favorite subjects "Music and Art".  Lets start.

Music 
Have you ever listened to a piece of music and thought to yourself that you are greater that anything or maybe when you were sad and that single note and word made you think that it doesn't matter what  other people think of you it only matters what you think of yourself. Music can be entertaining and good but it can also be very deep, by that I mean some songs can be very releatable. Music is something that a lot of people can enjoy even if it is Jazz, Hip Hop, Classical music or Techno. My favorite thing about music is, it is very relaxing and it is something that I can enjoy.

Art
Art has a way of getting you to like it but then hate it. A lot of artist like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo were famous for there pieces of art that probably took months to make, it also  has been seen by millions of people. I like art because it is calming and is fun to make.

Remember to stay updated and tell me your favorite subjects in the comments.
