Fun Run | 2020

Kia ora, 

Welcome back to my blog, in today's blog post I will share you my experience during our fun run for 2020. The fun run is basically having fun and running while doing some obstacles. We had all the students up to year seven to ten, to cooperate in the fun run. 

In the fun run, there was powdered colour spraying at you and getting wet with water. There were also sponges getting thrown at you and you can slide through the water slide. There were also obstacles like going in the bouncy castle and ducking under and jumping over last of all there were water guns getting horribly spraying at you. 

We had to run, jog or walk two laps around the field to get our reward which is sparkling water. The sparkling water didn't taste good and doesn't have a lack of flavour. So I and my friends decided to pour the sparkling water on each other's head and bodies because we all didn't like the sparkling water. Then we cheered and supported the other students who are participating in the fun run. It was funny because some of the year nines and tens tripped over when running. We had lots of fun doing the fun run I hope we have another opportunity to do the fun run next year. 

here are some pictures and videos: 

Question of the day: Have you ever done a run similar to this before?

Egg Drop Test

Last week we did something really fun and challenging in our science class, it was something that we cannot wait because we are doing an egg drop challenge. So the challenge was making something that will make the egg survive from a high fall. We were able to work with a partner so I decided to work with my partner that I cooperate together well. And the other challenge was making our structure with sticks, tapes, strings, small pieces of foams, a used plastic bag and rubber bands. 

My partner and I didn't have a plan of how we are going to make our structure, but we made a square for our base with foams and stick them with the sticks. Then we measure the egg in our base as if it will fit, which turned out positive. We used the sticks to stick the foams together which is much easier rather than using the tapes. Then used two four rubber bands to make the sticks a bit more stable. And then we grabbed a piece of used plastic bag for our parachute to make the landing softer. Then we attached the string to the parachute and attached it to the sticks. And the last part has too compressed the egg together with foams and tapes. 

But then it was the time to drop the egg fro a high place, which is five metres. When my partner dropped our structure it didn't land really soft because there were little holes on parachute therefore it made our structure tilt left and right. But then when I opened the hatch of our structure it was surprisingly safe with no cracks or damaged. And my partner and I were really happy and proud of what we have done.

Question of the day: What if you had a challenge like this what is your idea?

EARTHQUAKE | 2011

In our Hurumanu class which is our social study class, we have been studying on Earthquakes in New Zealand. Currently, we are focusing on the 2011 Earthquake in the city of Christchurch, have you ever heard of the Cathedral structure in the city of Christchurch. 

So we had a taskboard to do and our task was answering the questions and reading some articles and listen to the audiobook. The point was answering all the questions and researching information in-depth so we can get the right answer. My idea for my presentation was answering the questions and adding a lot of information in each slide. And I added some pictures to make my presentation more catchy and creative. 

Here is my finished presentation:

E.O.T.C WEEK JELLIE PARK | TASKBOARD

 Hello bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog in this blog post I will share you my finished work of the Jellie park taskboard. (This is not my Jellie park experience it's just the taskboard we have to do). There fore next week on Wednesday, 3rd of December which means our class is going to Jellie park for our EOTC week. 

Basically, our task for the Jellie park taskboard is to make a poster and write eight safety tips on water. But what I did is different because I have four safety tips on swimming pool and in the ocean. I also added some pictures of the different safety signs. 

Here is my finished work: 

Question of the day: what is the best advice will you give to a person when swimming in the pool?

Science | Gravity

In our Science session, we have been focusing on gravity and how it affects the different planets. 

So our tasks were to answer the following questions about gravity. We had to research in-depth to get the answers. It was a challenge because we had to be specific about what we are researching.  But it was interesting about researching gravity and how it affects life and other planets. Because I always imagined that one day I will fly to space and experience gravity. The fun part was when we had to compare our weights on different planets. 

I really like learning about gravity and researching it was fun to do to this task because I always learn something new. 

Here is my gravity work: 

1. Is gravity the same on all planets? No, because every planet has different sizes and amounts of gravity. It’s because the planets are of different sizes from one another and have a different mass. 

2. How is gravity related to mass? The reason why gravity is related to mass it’s because of the distance of a planet one to another. When the planet is closer to each other the gravity pulls down stronger.  Therefore if the mass has more objects it means it has more gravity. And the mass gives pieces called gravitons and they are the ones who prevent gravity. So when there is more mass the more gravitons it has. 

3. Calculate the weight of a 30kg labrador retriever on other planets in our solar system? If you weigh 30kg on Earth you will weigh 11kg in Mercury, 27kg in Venus, 11kg in Mars, 70kg in Jupiter, 31kg in Saturn, 26kg in Uranus, and 33kg in Neptune. Jupiter has the highest gravity and Mercury and Mars have the lower gravity.  It’s very interesting to see every planet has different weights of the 30kg Retriever. 

4. How will your life be different from living on a planet with higher gravity? Lower gravity? If the gravity is higher than before human blood will be stretching to our legs, every bone will collapse and get pulled to the ground and get stuck. If the gravity was lower the atmosphere would feel lighter. It will reduce the gravity and make it difficult for humans to breathe the exact amount of oxygen. And Earth would collapse apart and explode into pieces and float around space if the gravity is lower. The reason why gravity is necessary to planets and the Earth is that it holds the planet together. 

The site that I used to calculate the 30kg Labrador Retriever was pretty handy because it's very fun to use. Here is the website that I used: Weight on other planets.

Question of the day: Which planet would you like to visit and live in? Why? Why not?
