Rotation Task

This morning my class did a rotation task instead of doing our normal work.

For rotation 1 we did te reo that is when we learn the language.We are doing this do build confidence and be able to speak more than one language. we were learning how to hold a conversation in te reo.


For rotation 2 we drama. drama includes singing,dancing,art and acting we were learning how to act and have confidence.We had to write down what skills you need to be an actor we wrote you need to have confidence,easy going  and you need good observation and focus and much more. then we played an acting game.


For rotation 3  We watched a movie called holes for this activity we had to observe because every time the movie said my we had to write down  the word after it said my i got 22 words.

week 11 reflaction

This week i have been finishing of my pick a path story.
A pick a path story is a google form.It can be about anything  mine is about a scary story based in a alleyway.but that depends on which path you take,a pick a path is just a story when you read a paragraph about what i write the there will be options usually 2 but sometimes 1 or 3 options then it will take you somewhere based on your answer but eventually  you will die in  the story.





for  technology week 11 2019 i did cooking class
We made baked bean busters

INGREDIENTS            How TO Make baked bean buster
                                     1 get a burger bun get a sharp knife cut about 1 third of the top of the bun off.
baked beans                  2 then get a big spoon and squash the bottom of the bun down that will be were
                                      the baked beans will go 3 get 2 table spoons of baked beans and put them in th
cheese                            e dip you made with the spoon, then get some cheese and put it over the baked                                         beans then put onion on the put top half of the bun on the cook at 180 degrees                                        until cooked then eat
onion

burger bun

Marine Pollution reflection

Marine Pollution reflection

Creating the doc.

For our literacy we had to make something about pollution. At first we had a
doc with all of our work on it. we first  visited a site and got some facts about
marine pollution and put it in our own words. then started putting some links
and pictures in, then we started talking about the ocean cleanup and started
talking about our opinion and how you can make a difference. The easiest
thing was probably finding research about the ocean cleanup. Then put a tun
more facts about marine life THEN WE DECIDED TO PUT EVERYTHING
ON A SLIDE.

Putting our work on a slide

We put most of our work on a slide so we had more room to put our work and
it would be more neat. We started with three slides and had different parts.we
had a page for all the links  We also added in some photos of marine animals
and plastic so we would get better marks. Matthew made the backgrounds
better by putting photos of animals and plastic. It was hard trying to find
websites with different things because it seemed that everything was the
same!.

Finishing our work.

When we put our work on a slide we put the links from the doc on the slide
because we wanted all of our work on it. We put a better background on the
title and changed the title. We posted it to our blogs and we finished the slide
presentation. I don’t think we will start our prototype for our product this term
because we only have 1 week left.

ocean cleanup

This is about trying to clean the oceans plastic islands.

People are trying to clean the ocean with nets but it would cost billions.

10 things you can do to save the ocean

This is about telling people what the can do to save the Planet.

You can help by using less plastic products and try to use public transport.

save our oceans from plastic!

Surfrider is telling people about how much plastic is going in the ocean and how it can affect Sea life like turtles.

the ocean cleanup video

This video is showing you how people are trying to clean the ocean

They are trying to make a big net that will move by the current, wind and waves

beach cleanup

This is a national geographic page about cleaning up the beaches.

Groups of people have gathered to help clean up beaches to save sea animals.

The Ocean Cleanup Research

1.8 trillion pieces of plastic float at the surface of the Pacific Garbage Patch. The Ocean Cleanup is launching the world’s first  solution to this big problem.they will create a coastline where there are no animals. They will collect the plastic and take it out!.The system consists of a 600-meter-long floater and a 3-meter-deep skirt connected below. While the skirt stops smaller particles from getting out underneath.As the huge skirt creates a downward flow, marine life can safely pass under it.

The system takes advantage of three natural oceanic forces. Wind, waves, and currents.The plastic and the system are being carried by the current.The system moves faster than the plastic, allowing the plastic to be caught as the current adds pressure on the skirt. The system naturally forms a U-shape which enables it to move plastic in its center like a funnel.The drag generated by the skirt also acts as a force allowing the system to move itself when the wind changes direction. And because the system  like the plastic is free floating, it automatically drifts.

The machine has solar powered lights, anti-collision systems, cameras, sensors and satellite antennas. A support vessel comes by to take out the concentrated plastic  like a garbage truck of the ocean.The plastic is then transported to land, recycled, and made into durable products.Once finished, the machine is expected to clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch every 5 years.

Ocean Pollution Research

There is 8.3 metric tons of plastic waste in the ocean and 6.3 billion tons of it became waste and only only 9％ got recycled. 14 Billion pounds of plastic go in the ocean each year so that´s 1.5 million pounds of plastic go in each hour. About 60 - 95 percent of ocean pollution is plastic. Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals are killed each year from plastic pollution. 700 marine species are at risk of extinction because of plastic pollution and food shortages. China is the worst country for plastic pollution because of there huge population and there carelessness of pollution. It can take 40-50 years for a plastic cup to decompose and 300-400 years for a plastic bag to decompose. Any piece of plastic thrown in the ocean can kill up to 1 million marine animals yearly. In 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. In 2025 the plastic pollution is predicted to grow to 400 million tonnes every year.

Main Causes Of Ocean Pollution

The main causes of ocean pollution is sewage,toxic chemicals and nuclear waste. Main causes of plastic pollution is the huge amount of plastic made daily and the amount that gets discarded. Dirty plastics that get thrown into landfill have bad chemicals for the environment. The chemicals sink into the ground and go into the groundwater. The plastic you put in the bin everyday ends up in landfill. When plastic is getting transported it can get blown away and end up in drains and end up in rivers that lead to the ocean.

Technology reflection

In technology i did foods with ms Sullivan.

We made a breakfast smoothie.The smoothie ingredients were 1 cup of oats
1 tablespoon of brown sugar 1 quarter of a cup of water 1 teaspoon of
cinnamon 1 whole apple/i used royal gala  and berries tablespoon of oil
and yogurt. My utensils were 1 plate,1 measuring cup,measuring spoon,pot
and a pot stand,big spoon,corer,board ,knife,we stewed the cut up apples with
the core cut out with the corer and then put them  in a pot with a table spoon of
sugar. We let them boil until there were big bubbles.Then we put the cup of
oats in a foil tin we put the cinnamon and the coconut in and mixed it then
put it in the oven to cook.We to the apples out of the pot to cool off then we
took the oats out of the oven the got a plastic cup and put berries in the bottom
and then i put half of the apples on top then i put some yogurt then put more
oats on then put the rest of the apples  on that then put berries on the top.
finished.

In woodwork today at technology we finished the prototype box.
That includes putting the final screw in with a hand held drill.
Then it was time for me to make the base. I had to get a piece of mdf and
mark out were i will put the nails in.  After i marked it out i put glue around the
box and put the base on the hammered all the nails in and then sanded the
box and then my box was finished.
