2021 Award Assembly - Writing

 Yesterday afternoon Team 4&5 had their annual award assembly for the year of 2021. This was a wonderful event that acknowledges the students and the students going away to college. This event chose students to become leaders for the next year to come. The assembly took place in a large tent called Te Kapua, just inside the school.

The students were divided into their year groups and they all had to perform a dance which represents the hard work we have done throughout the year. We started with the opening prayer and ended with the last prayer, every dance was really good but I reckon the year 8's were the best.

It was a good year to start with and ended with perfect harmony. This year was one of the best years of my life and this assembly really meant a lot to me. 

Attitude Talk - Writing

 Today team 5 had the opportunity to have an attitude talk about puberty and self appearance. The children had to be split in to their own genders, so the boys had to go to the school hall and the girls just stayed in the classes. As the boys were in the hall two men were there waiting for us so they can talk about puberty and self appearance. It was kind awkward but really funny because they found away to keep us out of our comfort zone. The men's names were charlie and robbie and they talked about their past life and how they got through puberty. It was a privilege having them because they helped us overcome our fear of puberty.

What I Did Today - Writing

 Today was just a normal day like always we've done many things though. Since we're in lockdown level 3 the amount of children are a little small yet very big, in the morning we went to a place called      te kapua which is a big wide tent just inside our school. We went to te kapua to have our morning prayer and just catching up on daily notices. One of the notices was about one of our teachers Mrs Stone who was actually staying at her home taking care of her baby. The whole of team 5 had to go on one of online meetings to face time with her, since she can't come to school and actually meet us face to face. Next we went to play some sports just at the field near the playground, it was really fun playing sports because we were in lockdown for more than one month. After that we had our lunchtime which was also a lot of fun, we got to play outside and run around then the bell rang and we had to go back inside. We started blogging as soon as we got inside and we began to play fun games. Finally we packed up for the day and we had such a blast. It was really good going to school which gave me the motivation to do this blog post. 

I hope you enjoy today's blog post because I made it to encourage you to keep going to school. Don't forget to leave a postive comment on mine and class blog.

The Aquatic Biome is made up of two habitats Freshwater habitats and Saltwater habitats. Each picture in this task shows the saltwater creatures and freshwater creatures. Us humans already have 70% water in ourselves, that is the cause of how much water we drink a day. For instance us humans can survive without water for 3 days straight anymore than that you will have serious problems and maybe heart disease or very dry skin from that lack of water. Now you know about how much we need water in our life and learning about many creatures that live in the Aquatic Biome.

Topic - Science Introduction

 Gases:

Greenhouse gases: Overview, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Fluorinated Gases.

Liquids:

Liquid Types: Water, Oil, Olive Oil, Honey, Blood, Milk.

Solids:

Task Description: Greetings Bloggers, today's Science project is about Solids, Liquids and Gases. The Project talks about how each state of matter is everything we use and need. For example we need water and water is a type of liquid. When it's freezing cold water can turn into ice and ice is a type of solid. When ice is near the burning hot son it turns into water again but then the water can evaporate by the cause of the heat of the son and it becomes smoke which is a type of gas.
