Topic: Matariki (Maori New year) should be a public holiday I agree that we should have a public holiday for Matariki because people would want to share their Maori culture with the Maori language week The reason why I think that it is a good idea to have it because people would want to share their culture and people from other countries wouldn't know what Matariki is so they know what Matariki is. For example, if you are someone from a different country
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

week 8 do now
Topic: English is the most important subject to learn In school. I disagree that English is important to learn in school because if you don't do English you won't know how to spell big words in the future. The reason is that if you do English you will know how to spell and know how to say big words and that's why you need to do English in school.

HORNBY 2050
Hello everyone welcome to my blog
We all have been looking, Hornby 2050 and what can make it a better place in those years. We are making a project, our project is a self-powered blender for our kete, and the reason we are making a self-powered blender is that we can save electricity instead of paying bills. If there is a power cut out, how are you meant to use the blender so that's why we are making a self-powered blender we can save electricity and some countries are struggling like Mozambique is struggling with low power, and basically no water to survive on. We need wood, a pump, metal, plastic, a bit of tubing, to make a full-sized blender.
thank you
wait there's more this is my mini 3D sketch

Chromeatography
Today in science we are doing an experiment called chromatography Pigments are substances that give color to things. They are used to give color to all sorts of things like felts, paint, plastic, food, fabric, even animals and plants.
Chromatography is a technique for separating a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates
Pigment: the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue.
AIM- To separate the different pigments from ink using chromatography
HYPOTHESIS- I think that the paper will change color and their ink will go high on the paper
EQUIPMENT- Felt tip pen, filter paper strips, test tube, measuring cylinder, pencil.
1- Draw a line across the filter paper in pencil, 5cm from the bottom.
2- Draw a colored dot in the center of the line.
3- Measure out 10mL of water and place it in the test tube.
4- Place the filter paper in the test tube and fold it over the side. MAKE SURE THE PENCIL LINE/ DOT IS NOT IN THE WATER.
The pigments separate because each pigment has a different solubility (some dissolve more than others), which means some of them to move faster and further than others.

Do now week 6
I agree that everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand should be allowed to vote. I think that at the age of 17 should be able to vote but then some people will be silly about who they are voting for and they also might not have a reason. The reason I think that people over the age of 17 should be able to vote is that we will make good choices.

Mother Teresa
today in English we have been learning about mother Teresa what I learned about mother Teresa was she joined the Sisters of Loreto when she was eighteen and during her train trip she got a call from God and God said to Mother Teresa to leave school and go to work with the poor and the sick people and the disadvantage slums of Calcutta and she won a noble prize and she didn't take it
week 6 do now
Topic: your name is important part of who you are I agree because people will be able to know who you are.The reason why you should have a name is that so you can show yourself off and people won't think your just a random stranger and you can introduce yourself and say like hi my name is Jessie nice to meet you

Evaporation
today in chemistry we are learning about evaporation distillation and condensation we are going to be doing an experiment next lesson and for the experiment, we are going to distillation and how it works
The three main things we will be doing for chemistry
-Evaporating
-Condensing
-Distillation
State of the matter:
S- solid L- liquid G- gas
"What is Evaporation"
Evaporation is when a substance gets heated up and turns from a liquid into a gas
"What is Condensation"
turning gas into a liquid by cooling it down
Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas.
We can separate a solution, by evaporating away the solvent to leave a solute (solid).
But what if we want to collect gas??
When we trap the gas and turn it back into a liquid this is called condensation.
"What is Distillation"
Distillation is the scientific experiment used to show the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Note: on the next slide it says to use seawater but we are going to use different types of coke. After evaporating off and then condensing back down the water, we can see how much sugar is actually in normal coke/ diet/ zero.
hypothesis: I think the original coke will have a lot of sugar I think all the liquid will evaporate the other cokes will only half evaporate

Temurea Morrison Essay
week 5 do now
Is the principal is the most important person in the school? I don't agree because I think that if some kids do something wrong there's nothing the principal can do and there is always a problem with like fights
shark infested custard
Hello today in health we were doing shark-infested custard witch means we had three hula hoops and we worked as a team to get across What IP skills did I use? I used my Active listening IP skill. Did I use warm fuzzies? I didn’t use heaps of warm fuzzies I used it once or twice by saying that it's is Nice job. How did I show Active listening by listening to the other team members? How did my IP skills help with my success, well Active listening is a necessity to help get others' ideas to you I work well with Ashton, Nici Hayley, Isaac, Nevaeh, Jessie If was to do it again I would change the way I would communicate more instead of being mad.
Concentration and Dilution
In today's blog, we are doing an experiment about Concentration and Dilution in this period.
Concentration is a measure of how much solute has been dissolved into the solvent in other words- how much solute there is in the solution we can measure in two ways how to dilute something is (how weak it is) how concentration something is (how strong it is) Making something less concentrated There will be fewer particles in the liquid Serial dilute
AIM: To make a dilution series to investigate the concentration
HYPOTHISSES: I think that it will go clear
EQUIPMENT: A potassium permanganate crystal, six large test tubes, tweezers, a plastic transfer, pipette, a test tube rack, 10ml measuring cylinder
METHOD:

filtration
Today in science we are doing a little experiment about filtering I will tell you about what we are going to do. (Filtering is separating differently sized particles out of a mixture.) the things that we will need to do in this experiment are making a mixture then separate it. today's experiment will be on liquids that we will be separating
I think that the liquids will change color
the liquid is called
Copper sulfate
is light blue
Transparent
liquid
the second liquid is called
(Sodium carbonate.)
(Colorless.)
(Liquid.)
(Transparent.)
(Beaker.)
(Funnel.)
(Filter paper.)
(Conical flask.)
(Filtrate.)
Method:
1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.
2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate.
3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel
4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.
5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.
6. Observe what happened.
the Observetion
the liquids changed colour when the liquid filterd through and it changed colour when the liquids came together In conclusion, I saw when we mixed the two chemicals together they went a darker blue and cloudy, when we put it through the filter it turned clear the blue got let at the top.
