Passport 4

Today I made a album for topic and it was on a New Zealand artist. The artist that I did was Kimbra because I like one of her songs and the album that choose from her was vows that was made 2011. My favorite part about this topic was using the craft knife for cutting up my disc. Here is a photo of my of my album.

Sherbet

Today we made sherbet for science and my group was Bella, Joey, Max, Peter and ME. First we had to taste all of the ingredients first we tasted icing sugar it was very sweet. Then we tasted Baking soda it was very bitter. After the very bitter baking soda we tasted citric acid it was very painful there was only one ingredient left and it was drum roll tactic acid it was more painful then the citric acid. When the whole class tasted all of the ingredients we made sherbet our first type of sherbet was very sour because of all the tantric acid and the citric acid. We tried 10 times to get the right type of sherbet so we added one of more tsp of powder sugar then we added all our bad sherbet it became our best one yet.

My favourite part about making sherbet was tasting all the ingredients.

Year 6 Gradution

Yesterday we had a year 6 graduation mass and we had been working on a piece of art for the past few weeks and our Deputy Principal hung it up in our church so all the year 6 parents and other community members could see it. Here is a photo of my art.

I helped them with all of the sound of effects in the video you could see part of my head in it then Mia moved the camera. I also played the celebration song in this ad. Here is the video.

Passport 2

The past few weeks I have been working on a writing for Christmas in the park for my topic it is about when Christmas in the Park started and why it was made. Here is my writing.

Christmas in the park is a big event for 250,000 people to attend. There are lots of people who play music at this event. There are different locations for where this event can be held at Auckland Domain, Auckland and in Christchurch Hagley park and this event starts Saturday 24th of November to Saturday 8th of December this event is also sponsored by Coca-Cola and Youthline. This event has been going for right around 26 years by a lady that goes by the name of Annette Chillingworth. The reason why she made this event is because she said “I want to bring family and community all together and also over the past few years the Christmas in the park has changed a lot like cola sponsoring them is well and each performance draws gets right around thousand dollars.

Making shapes

The past few days we have been making shapes for Math's. The three shapes I did was a cube, Egyptian pyramid and a cone. The cone was very had to make because I couldn't clue it together so I had to use cell tape and I finished my cube. It was very fun to also help someone with the cone and it was also fun to have a new learning experience.

Pollution

The past few weeks I have been working on a writing topic on pollution in air and sea. Here is my writing.





Pollution

The ocean and air are some of the greatest things ever known to man but it has a secret. It is full with filth and has diseases. This is because of us humans using plastic bags, plastic water bottles and even plastic straws and gases also spray paint. All of this stuff is put inside our ocean and also goes into our air and pollutes. There is over 12 Million plastic inside our ocean and we need to stop more plastic going in the ocean.




Firstly pollution is one of the most devastating and affecting killers for more than 100 Million people worldwide. For more than 1 Billion people can not have access to clean water more than 5 thousand people die every day from drinking dirty and filthy water. All of the garbage that is dumped into the water is over 6 billion kg.




Secondly air pollution is when non wanted chemicals, gases and particles that enters in the air and the atmosphere that is also harming wildlife and is damaging natural cycle of the earth. A few sources of air pollution come from nature. This also includes eruption of volcanoes, Dust storms and fire storms.




Lastly Human activity is a huge cause of air pollution especially in very large cities. Human air pollution is caused by things such as factories, Spray paint, Cars, Airplane, Ships and trucks. Inhaling these chemicals can also cause health problems. People with a heart disease and have lung cancer, elderly adults and children are at greater risk from air pollution.




We must stop pollution by using reusable plastic bags. Either than using cars we can walk, bus but that is just a few things on how to stop pollution either in the ocean or air pollution. Another way on how to stop air pollution is to have more electrical cars that doesn't use gas.




In conclusion air pollution and pollution is technically not good for sea life and humans. We must stop polluting the ocean and also the earth's atmosphere. We must stop air pollution cause it can cause heart disease and can also damage the brain, nerves, liver and even the kidney. Do your part to save the world now!

Spud Gun

Today and last Friday we did a science experiment on Potato spud guns the first time we did the experiment it didn't work. This Friday some of my group shot there potato into the air and it worked for them it did not work for me because when I was going to shoot I put the sharp end when my teacher clearly told my whole class to put the blunt end in first. I tired shooting the potato six times but my teacher also told my group it alright because most of the science experiments we do wont work and its also a learning experience. 

St Peter's Orchestra

This week the St Peter's Orchestra came to good shepherd school to perform all types of songs. The family strings were there and the woodwinds. The string family performed very lovely songs and a scary song which was a bit too loud. The woodwinds performed all types of songs.

Personally my favorite was the Pink panther performed by the saxophone.

 

War world one

Today we got to learn about people whom actually served in the war. My buddy was Setaita and we got a picture of a woman called Harriet Simeon who was a part of the WROF. That stands for Woman's Royal Air Force. Then we also had a man called Matuha's birth certificate. Some of the information was not filled in like when his birthday was and he also did not know the name of his parents back then people were very racist. Our teacher got an exclusive pack from some school kit.

Science

Today for science we did a topic around birds to see which Forceps would be the best for picking up the gummy worms, paper and skittles. We only got to eat one skittle and gummy worm but the the worm was cut up into little pieces. So then we had to make a prediction on which Forceps would be good to pick up the skittle , paper and the gummy worm other groups had much different prediction than my group of six. At the end my group split up the gummy worms and the skittles to eat.                           

Passports

This term we have been doing passports. These passports have activities around New Zealand Music and the aim is to hit 200 points. There are 6 topics and 5 activities in each row so far I only have ten points because I started a bit later than others but to get points you need to finish as much activities as possible and then check with teachers to get your points. 

Athletics Day

On Wednesday the whole school went to Three Kings Reserve for our athletics. For most of the races I came third for each of them and in discus I came second. For the other sports I did not place. Once when all of the field activities were finished we had relays for the girls v girls and the boys v boys. My team came third but it was fun to try something new.

Saints

The past few weeks we have been doing a topic on All Saints Day. The saint I chose was St. Cecilia.  The reason I did St. Cecilia is cause she always helps me in music because she is the patron saint of Music and because also my sisters name is Cecilia. We also wrote down a prayer to St. Cecilia.

Here is a photo of my project.

Bike Safety

Today and Yesterday we did a Bike safety course the first day was about learning the things you need to wear while ridding your bike and adjusting your helmet. Today we got to ride a bike the thing I learnt from the first day was you need to do the 4 check on your bike the 4 steps are 1. check your reflection light 2. check your brakes 3. check your if your tyres are pumped 4. check your quick release levers. Once we finished all of the checks we went riding. We learnt how to indicate on the road while on your bike.

Comics

The past two days we have been doing comics with Mrs Drummond's husband who is the best artist I have seen in my life because he can draw a really good person with a whiteboard marker. He is really good. After all of the tips and tricks he gave us, we all went off and did our own comic. I did a man who made toe jam when people thought it was jam for bread.

My favourite part was getting to draw our stories because I like to draw.

All saints day and All souls day

On Thursday we had mass for all Saints day and on Friday we had all Souls day for R.E. We did a prayer to those still in purgatory or those whom already made it to heaven. For all saints day we already did a project on them early this week the saint I chose was St.Cecilia the Patron Saint of music and we also wrote a prayer to our saint.

Kia Kaha

This week we did a shield on why my class is special and why I am unique. My whole class got a shield and wrote down why there unique and also wrote down why our class is special so I wrote down my class also has a smile on our faces every day. I wrote down for me why I am unique , I am unique because I am a different culture to most of the people in my school. Here is a Photo of the shield.  

Sport

For the past weeks we have been doing rotation sports. That means every third week we switch sports. For the first week we did Ripper Rugby for two weeks. For the third week we did hockey. After hockey for two weeks we went on to softball then we moved on to soccer and after we went to our teacher which was netball. This type of sport is only on in term 3.
