For Christmas I will be spending it with my mum and dad sisters brothers cousin if you have an advent calendar. you start it on Sunday the last chocolate is big when you get to the last one do. not eat them all before you’re meant to or you will get told off I did it last year. It isn’t about getting it is about giving. And being grateful and thankful also be nice to family members
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.

Two Images:
this is the second bag we did with baking so
Findings:
The Water Cycle: Bag 1
|
CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2
Acid
|
Desert Water Cycle
Bag 3
| |
Does it cycle?
| 2 | 2 | |
Amount of Water
| 2 | 2 | |
Acidity
| 1 | 3 |
Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none
Conclusion: it Fogg up from the sun
the second one also fog up but it had baking soda
2 = small
3 = large

CIP
in CIP last week we made a DLO about recycling stationery so we can send it to the company
so they can recycle them it is stationery that is not working for every kg we send them in we get $2 but to send the stationery the company is called terra cycle
this is the DLO we did last week
1 how are we going spread our message to the community by making a poster or a DLO and put it on the school tv
who do you think will get involved
2 Hornby High School Hornby Primary School
how many kgs do you predict
3 we will collect 15 kg
what should we do with the donation money we receive from terra cycle
4 with the money we could organize a mufti day

Ella west
In p1 Ella west came to our school to talk about her books.
Her dog was in one-off her books her dog had one blue eye and a green one.
Night Vision is about a kid who had an XP where he can not be in the sun.
Rainfall is about a dama book about people going missing.
I enjoyed the night vision book I have read the book.

Climate Chaos
Written by: Bianca
this is my experiment I did
Title |
My fog experiment
|
Purpose |
We put it up on the window in the sun to see if it will make fog when the sun heats up the water
|
Materials |
1x zip lock bag
1x vivid
2xBlue DIY
½ water
experiment two water blue DIY baking soda
|
Steps |
Get a zip lock bag
Then get a vivid
Write your group's names
Draw the picture on the zip lock bag of what is going to happen in the experiment
We put the water in a zip lock bag
Then the teacher put the blue DIY in the zip lock bag
Then we seal it up and put it against the window
We used double-sided tape to get it to stay
We are going to test it in two weeks
Experiment two we put the water in the bag and add the DIY and the baking soda
|
Conclusion |
Experiment One:
I think the outcome of this experiment will be...
Experiment two;
What actually happened

my weekly physical activity
30 mins a day 5 days a week walking around the block. i promise to never lie
Crazy Crystals
Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals
Definition of solution:
A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water)
Definition of saturated:
Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)
In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

After watching the videos as a class, explain how the following crystals are formed:

|
Explanation
|
Salt
|
Sea salt is produced through evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes, usually with little processing. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain trace minerals and elements. The minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels.
|
Sugar
|
Refined sugar is made from raw sugar that has undergone a refining process to remove the molasses. Raw sugar is sucrose which is extracted from sugarcane or sugar beet. ... The sugar syrup is concentrated by boiling and then cooled and seeded with sugar crystals, causing the sugar to crystallize out.
|
Snowflakes
|
snowflake begins to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto a pollen or dust particle in the sky. This creates an ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls to the ground, water vapor freezes onto the primary crystal, building new crystals – the six arms of the snowflake.
