New kete project

I have finished my recent project called the harakeke. Today we are starting a new project called ab stract. My process is really good I am up to cutting the top off. You had a choice of cutting it in the middle and doing two pieces or having a large one. I chose the large one because I thought it will be cooler. Here is my progress so far.

New Stone Carving Project

Then whole class that is doing stone carving just started a new project called Harakeke. My progress so far is quite good I am up to cutting the sides and making it equal so every side is equal. I think this is gonna be fun and a great challenge for me to complete. It was unfortunate that the top part broke but I somehow fixed it by the help of Mr Mitchell. Here is my progress so far.

Stone Carving

We started a kete called Arts festival. I chose stone carving. I finished my first stone carving project and it was a  and I was proud of my self because I never knew anything about stone carving so it was a challenge for me to do. Here is some photos of the classes stone carvings

Triassic and Jurassic

Triassic Period Dinosaurs:

Jurassic Period:

Kaitiakitanga

What is Kaitiakitanga? Kaitikitanga means Guardians like the maori gods. Like Tane the guardian of the forest.

Introduce Species in NZ

Rabbits

Possums

Rats

Stoats

Ferrets

Weasels

Goat

Tahr

Red Deer

Wallaby

Pigs

Questions

1. Introduced Species mean a specie that came from another country.

2. Why were they brought to NZ? They were brought accidentally by ships that came from another country like rats that came from a boat that came from European country's.

3. The animals that came from another country has mated in the forest and make more of them.
4.They eat the crops that people eat. 

Endangered Species

Endangered Species mean that when they are not a lot of those animal left in the world or in your country.
 Maui Dolphins
Sperm Whales
Mokohinau stag beetle
Kiwi
weka
Fairy Tern 

If we do not help these endangered animals then they wont be around in the future because they would've been extinct by that time.

Maui Dolphins

maui dolphins are almost endangered because when people go fishing they get caught on the fishing nets making them not be able to move in the water.

The government had reduced the size of the the nets so the dolphins could get out.

The maui dolphins numbers aren't going down anymore because of the governments help.

Environmental Issue

Today we are having a trouble about keeping plastic safe and some of our marine animals in the future might get endangered because of this problem. All of the rubbish we throw on the ground finds it's way to go to the ocean or lakes. The marine animals eats the plastic and they will die around next day and turtles gets stuck in the cup holders and there shells grows around it. Birds also has those problems because of the birds eating the plastic.

Achivements for gymnastics

I have achieved that I can do a forward roll and a backward roll.

Gymnastic Achievements

In the end of gymnastic today I will try to achieve doing a forward roll and a backward roll.

Gymanstic

We did Gymnastic and I thought it was fun.

I gound it fun because I like rolling and jumping. We had to walk on the beam and jump over the cone. Next was we had to do a forward roll and a backward roll. I have learn something that when you roll you have to keep your self tucked in. I conquered a fear. I was scared that when you do a roll you might break your neck but I did a roll and it was fun.

Part of the organs

                               Brain:

What does this organ do?

In fact, your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep. Not bad for something that looks like a big, wrinkly, gray sponge. Your brain has many different parts that work together.

   Eyes:

Eyes makes you see things.

Ears:

Ears makes you hear.

Lungs:

The lungs gives you oxygen.

Heart:

Your heart has two pumps but the right side of the heart pumps the blood in to the lungs.

Liver:

The liver cuts the fat in to pieces and turns it into energy.

Stomach:

The stomach breaks and digest food.

Large Intestine:

The major function of the large intestine is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body.

Small Intestine:

The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs, the other 10% taking place in the stomach and large intestine. 

Rectum:

The rectum is where your poo comes out off.

Anus:

After the rectum is your anus.

Pancreas:

Pancreas is a part of the digestive system and makes juices named as Enzymes.

Call Bladder:

Gall bladder helps you digest.

Spleen:

Spleen helps you fight infections.

Appendix:

You don't really need the appendix so if you get it removed your body will do fine after the surgery.

Esophagus:

esophagus helps you digest as well.

A guy named Archimede's is the one who invented Archimede's screw. Why did he want to invent it?. He wanted to invent something that makes water go up a hill. And it works by a screw at the back. He is twisting the screw and the pump pumps the water up the hill. Why did he want water up a hill? because he lives at the top of the hill and he has made a garden but in order to feed his plant water he needs to go down the mountain get water and go up the hill again but he made an invention the he doesn't need to go down the hill and go up again.

How do you get water up hill?

Job: agricultural soil specialist

Scenario: your client wants to plant crops in a field 1.5 m above the local river. He needs to get water to this field and has no electricity to run a pump and no hose. He must start from scratch! How he achieve this?

You will need to consider ancient history+ an important person from back then.
Include pictures where appropriate.    

This is Archimedes
Born: 287 BC
Died: Syracuse, Italy
This guy is Born in Greece

Archimedes screw.

How does this work
There's a screw at the back and the inside there's like a spiral thing that carries the water up and that will go up if Archimedes turns the screw at the back.

How is it purified?there is a filtiration
What pollutes our city water before we drink it? it doesn't have chemicals so it's clean.

4. Where does Auckland's water supply form? Hunua and waitakere ranges.

5. What water bourne diseases and parasite can we catch in NZ? Giardia also can make us have diarrhea.

6.Christchurch's water is treated after us
where is it treated? at city council
what are the steps involved in treating it?To treat water with chlorine bleach, put the water in a clean container and add 16 drops of bleach for every gallon of water. Stir in the bleach and let the water stand for 30 minutes. If the water does not have a little smell of bleach, repeat the dosage of 16 drops per gallon and let it sit for another 15 minutes.

The treated water goes to the sewers.

7. Small town do not always treat their waste water in the same ways as Christchurch.

Burner Flame

This is what we have done and it was awesome. I was waving my hand through the flame.

Helicopters

History of helicopters
1100- Chinese has made a toy which looks like a helicopter
1939- is the first practical flight of the first helicopter

Theodore von Karman and Lieutenant Stefan Petroczy is the one that built a working Airplane.

The Force acting on a plane is Thrust, Gravity, drag and lift

Forces

• What is a force 
• What are the different types of force

Contact forces: Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse (physics)| impulse.

Non contact forces:
