I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. 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.

Atmosphere - tension Katniss comes out as the standout, someone to watch out for.
Change of Rules - Struggle for power
Music - Minor, slow, dramatic, building tension, emotional intensity as music gets louder
Lighting/colour - bright, natural warm, green, black, greys, shadowed - rising of the sun -- new day - new victor
Costume - not important
Angle/ Shots/ Movement - High angle - Senica has power according to the camera but the dialogue ‘Stop’ ‘Contradicts that.
Close-ups - emphasize - defiance, stubborn of Katniss - Struggle for Power
Katniss won’t let them have one victor
Peeta won’t let them change him.
Atmosphere - happy because Katniss and Peeta took back control, if they died, then they died by their own terms, didn’t lose their humanity.
Aspect = techniques
Camera shots/ angles/ movement colour/ lighting costume
Music Atmosphere Dialogue symbols Props.
Task 2: 1 - 2 sentences explaining what happened in the scene.

Science - Volcano eruption
A caldera forms when a volcano erupts and then collapses, this creates a large depression.
Types of rock formations that form around the volcano.
Olivine Basalt is a type of mineral.
Andesite
Plan
Make a border around the volcano and make it look like the volcano looks like it’s submerged in water.
We need to make it slightly taller than the bottle we’re going to use while still making it look like just the very top of the volcano.
Making the base out of cardboard, we will roughly cut out the shape of the volcano.
Reaction: Elephant's Toothpaste
Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate - Turns brown as a chemical reaction between the oxygen and the Potassium Permanganate.
Put warm water in a bottle, then put Potassium Permanganate crystals. Mix.
Add 1-2 drops of detergent to the mixture.
Find an open space.
Pour Hydrogen Peroxide in a measuring cylinder, pour till satisfied with the amount.
Then, quickly pour the Hydrogen Peroxide into the bottle, wait for the reaction.

Hurumanu 3 - Chaos - Black death
Hello everyone, this chemical and chaos we are learning about The Black death, but right now we are learning about Fleas and rats. We are asked to make a Basic paragraph about the subject of black death, we have to get a topic about it. Here is the paragraph I made about it.
Basic Body Paragraph.
Fleas and Rats. The fleas and rats were the problems to have the pandemic about the black death, it
causes a lot of problems around the city that had been hit by the black death. The black death started in
China and pass it through the ships trading routes westward to the Mediterranean. It then reached Rome,
the centre of an elaborate web of trading routes, Florence, Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and London.

Timeline
Hello everyone, this Hurumanu 3 we have been working on a timeline about the black death. We have to make the timeline and pick what or when was the chaos. There's no much information about it and it's more like the time and pictures. Here is the timeline I made.

Evaporation Experiment
Hello everyone today we are doing evaporation while doing the experiment we are looking at the changes in the water and also see the evaporating basin. The experiment was fun because we used bunsen burner, I had to lit a fire by a lighter. The water was condensing, steaming, boiling and evaporating. At the bottom are the aim, hypothesis and the equipment used.
Separating a Mixture using Evaporation:
Aim: why you are doing the experiment
To separate a solution into a solvent and solute using evaporation.
Hypothesis: what you think will happen, and why….
I think it will heat up and the copper sulfate will leave some crystal at the sides.
Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL Beaker, heatproof mat, evaporating basin, element.
Method:
Set up element
Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.
Carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker.
Turn on the element to 3
Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming.
Turn off the element- be careful not to touch, as it will be hot for a long time.
Observations: What did you see, hear etc when doing the experiment.
The boiling was loud so you could hear the boil of the water and also you can hear the gas.
Conclusion: Was your hypothesis correct?
yes, the crystal stayed and it has some a little bit of kinda glitter.
Discussion: What happened and why… using your scientific keywords (Evaporating, Solvent, solute, solution, mixture, heat, boil) The water started boiling because of the heat and while it was boiling the steam started coming out of the beaker. When it
Evaluation: Did you enjoy the experiment? Why? What would you do differently next time?
I enjoyed it because I'm learning something new and I had fun with my group but some people in our group sometimes don't really do anything so I would like to change it.
Copper sulfate is poisonous
KEYWORDS:
-Evaporating
-Solvent
-Solute
-Solution
-Mixture
-Heat
-Boil

Esol - Halloween Project
Hello everyone, this week we are working on our presentation about the scary myth about our own culture. I had a lot of fun making the short film because my teammates Janel and Shiela made it fun while filming. It was a bit stressful to edit because I don't really know what I would put fo the caption. If we had more time editing it, I would make some changes to the voice-over because it didn't really explain about the lady in white. Here is the video I made with my teammates and I hope you like it.

Bag making - Textiles
Hello everyone, this textile we have been working on the bag we are making. I haven't started sewing my bag yet but sooner I will, I only have cut the stakeholder one bag and I'm still working on what would stakeholder would have.
Stakeholder 2 should have looked like this, but we don't have any materials that are pink and blue.

Filtration Experiment
Hello everyone, Today we are doing a filter experiment. We have a filter paper to filter the chemical we are experimenting, and no we can't drink it because we don't know if it's clean. At first, we have to put the blue transparent liquid and the name is copper sulfate. We add the transparent chemical which is sodium carbonate. when we stirred it looks like a blue opaque liquid.
Aim: To Separate a solution from a precipitate (precipitate is the name for a solid that forms in a liquid during a chemical reaction).
Hypothesis: what do you think will happen...
I think that the dirty things to the chemical will stay at the filter paper and the bottom will be clear.
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.
Observations and Discussion: what you saw happen and why do you think it happened...
Equipment:
Sodium carbonate
Copper sulfate
Conical flask
Stirring Rod
200mL Beaker
Funnel
Filter paper

Acidification
ACIDIFICATION
DEFINITION:
- The oceans absorbs the carbon we use and thats good for us people but for our ocean, animals and trees this will destroy our trees ocean and more.
- Carbon dioxide effect the ocean and the sea animals/life and how they grow.
- Living things at the ocean is getting affected by the acid.
HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACIDIFICATION OF OUR OCEANS?
Climate change contributes with this of water cyclye and the sun is getting closer, and if the sun if the sun get closer the icecap melts and the sea level will rise and the people who is next to sea, lake beach, can have some flood at their cities and more. The fishes who need sea water will die becasue the ice is a fresh water and some fish don't need fresh water and they can die.
DEFINITION:
HOW DOES DEFORESTATION AFFECT THE CLIMATE?
- There will be less salt water and some fishes will die
- Some countries will sink down and will be forgotten
HOW DOES ICE CAP MELT AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE?
This could drown some countries fishes will die and we will have less land.2 Images;
