HHS EOTC days

 HHS eotc days

Last week for school we had 3 EOTC days. Each day was a different trip the first day we went to spencer and adrenaline forest this day was kinda fun at adrenalin forest except we didn't have much time because most of it was spent at spencer park. The second day we went to jellie park this was the funnest day of the three it was the hottest day of the three as well it would've been better if we went on a colder day then there was the third day it started by being late there were things like the art gallery that we didn't get to go in but we did get to go to the museum, margaret mahy playground and the new library in town this was a decent day but not the best.

Egg drop challenge

Egg drop challenge

For science we had been working on an egg drop challenge on our first day we were given 40 minutes to looks at designs and started making those designs the next day we were given 30 minutes my group had no clue what we were going to make so my team mate just added a bunch of rubber foam together and as a last minute entry he went up to the dropping zone dropped it and it somehow the egg inside it survived the 4m fall in the rubber foam contraption next time i would make a parachute for our contraption to slow down the fall and raise the chances of surviving.

Gravity

Gravity

For science we have been learning about gravity and that gravity is the thing that holds us onto earth  

1. is gravity on every planet the same? No not a single planet has the same amount of gravity but some have similar amount of gravity but most either have higher or lower gravity than other

2. How is gravity related to mass? Typically planets with more mass / that are bigger usually have more gravity and smaller planets have less gravity also with earth it has its gravity it mainly comes from its mass.

3. How much would you weigh on different planet? Different planets weight converter

4. How would life be different if you lived on a planets with higher or lower gravity? Life would be much different because if you live on a planet with low gravity you'll have to be more careful of jumping because you might fly into space / you'll be up in the air for longer and with high gravity you'll be pulled towards the ground and it'll be harder to stand up on.

Mars 2020

 For science we have been learning about mars 2020 and the rover called perseverance

Have you ever wondered what mars is made out of? 

On July the 30th NASA sent the rover called perseverance up to mars this was the start of its 7 month trip to mars you might think why’s it going up to mars it going to collect so dirt and rocks to bring back to earth and test it to see if there is or as been any life on mars. 

When perseverance the rover is on mars it will release this drone/helicopter so they can get some photos of what mars looks like once the rover comes back to earth on a rocket they’ll land on this special landing pad the most important thing is that they get the samples back from mars.

B & E

B & E

For the past 3 weeks we have been involved in the B & E kete

My role has been CEO and making sure everything being done on time ready for market day

My company was called Chucky's Sponges

Our product was chucking sponges at teachers for low prices

My reflection on how the business went was poorly our strength is having teachers and with teachers means more business and our weakness is with no teachers our business isn't what it is and doesn't sell well and that's exactly what happened

My reflection on the overall B & E is bad the weather was extremely hot it was not fun but the preparing was fun 

How do bees make honey?

 How do bees make honey?

Bees are responsible for pollinating three quarters of the world's fruit and

vegetable plants and making yummy honey that most people like.

Some beehives can make upto 1-2kg of honey per year

Firstly bees need a suitable food source.This suitable food

source bees find are flowers. When they get these flowers they use

their tongue and suck out the nectar sometimes bees need upto

1k flowers to fill up a bee’s honey stomach 

Secondly the bees store the nectar in their honey stomach.  

Once the nectar is inside the bees stomach, something called 

enzymes break down the nectar and turn into simple sugars/honey. 

The worker bee then goes to the hive and chuck its out of it

stomach into another house bees stomach the reason why

they do this is to dehydrate the honey once The bees have passed it to

teacher other they then put the honey into a honeycomb and

then once it's in the honeycomb they plug it up with a bees wax cap   

It takes a lot of time for bees to make honey, so enjoy it when you have it.

Resilience Kept paying attention when the teacher was talking		Respect Respected my property, teachers and students

Emotions

In the last two weeks we have looked at Resilience - Emotional Awareness (understanding emotions) and Impulses. I have come to realise that emotions or these things mean that they impact your life and the way you act.

Being able to control my emotions in different situations avoids me getting in trouble and certain situations that can impact my life

Knowing how to react and respond in situations rather than acting on impulses means i know how to act properly and behave my self

What i enjoyed about arts kete

What I enjoyed about arts kete

My favourite part of arts kete was the storyline making I was mainly successful making my hero's journey in the comic but part of it was off script next I would do it digitally so then it would be easier to replicate the characters without much effort one value I used during this arts kete was respect and I showed by not being disrespectful to other students into the classroom.

Arts kete

For arts kete we have been working on our comics this week is the last week to get them done and next week we will be having a display of all the stuff every arts kete has made. My plan for the comic is that it's about a cat looking for his parents and he have 2 accomplices dumb cat & smart cat the problem that happens in the story is that when they hop into a shop it turns out it's a dog gang club hangout area. Eventually they find his parents then they are like damn so those are your parents yes sir they sure are.

That's the end of this post bye

Sleep

Sleep

This week for hurumanu we have been learning about sleep and what the effects of no sleep is we went around the class looking at posters on the walls and wrote down at least 2 notes in each category about performance in Kids, Adults, Health and Emotions. 

here are some signs in kids, ddults, health and emotions

Kids: Lack of sleep can cause over activity and hyperactivity, The tendency to emotionally 'explode' at the slightest provocation

Adults: people aged 18-29 are more likely to drive while sleepy, Shift workers are more likely (than those who work a regular daytime schedule) to drive to or from work while being sleepy at least a few days a month. 

Health: Over time lack of sleep and sleep disorders can contribute to the symptoms of depression, Losing sleep can make you gain weight when it comes to body weight.

Emotions: Reduced alertness, Shortened attention span, Reduced decision making, Reduced concentration and poor memory

How much sleep do you get a night?
