Antarctic Treaty - Social Studies

Hello everyone, in Social studies we are learning about treaties. We have searched different treaties and also the treaties that we wanted to learn and want to know more about. Our teacher gave some suggestions on some interesting treaties. I did the suggestion one and It is about Antarctic treaty. Here are the information that I learned about the Antarctic treaty.

Shooting the apple - Hope and Rebellion

Techniques:

Music, lighting, colour 

Angles/shots/Movement

Costume  

• Diegetic sound

• Katniss - dark, dim, Artificial - grey, black, blue - matches peers 

• Senica - vibrant, bright - colour variety - pink - more privileged/ individual 

• Costume - Katniss - training suit, tributes all look the same

• Capitol - individual - ll different, over the top, extravagant

• Close- up see the reaction, Katniss - pensive, shocked 

• Hight angle - once Katniss shoots the apple, makes her look weak and vulnerable. 

• 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

Simile & Metaphor | English2021

Hello everyone, in English we are learning about Simile & Metaphor. We are supposed to put them answer them and also put them in order if they are simile or metaphor. Here are the questions and the answers that I answered. 

Copy these sentences onto your blog and highlight the simile in each:

1. My bedroom was as black as a cave in the depths of the earth.
   
   
2. The classroom after school became as noisy as a gaggle of gabby geese.
   
   
3. The cat capered along the fence top like a tightrope walker on the hire wire.

Idioms | English2021

Hello everyone, in English we are learning about idioms. Idioms - say things that are understood in ordinary English and do not mean what they say. Idioms are not meant to be taken literally; e.g ‘My teacher is the bomb!’. We are asked to find the meaning of idioms that are asked to answer. Here is the column where I work out my answers or answer the questions. 

 

Figurative Column	Literal Column
a.Just chill out dude!  It means: Calm down.
b. ‘He is driving me up the wall!’ It means: He is making me so angry.
c. ‘His nose is out of joint’ It means: He is getting annoyed
d. The teacher is a real scream It means: It means that they are humorous or funny.
e. What is she cooking up in her mind right now? It means: What is she thinking about.
f. He gave her the eye.  It means: it’s like looking at someone/ you are looking at someone sexually

The literal column is where we have to pick an idiom and make them into a picture where we take them seriously. Here are the pictures that I made. 

Sustainable Fishing

Hello everyone, in Social studies, we are still looking at sustainable fishing. We are given questions to answer and have to search more about this to know more about this.

How is commercial fishing a threat to dolphins and birdlife?
This is a problem because most commercials are over-fishing and don't tell the buyers because they need money. Most commercials lie because they want to have a good image for people who are buying their product. This is a threat because they over-fish and this wipe other fishes that are endangered.

What is bycatch?
Bycatch is where people accidentally catch something they shouldn’t catch. 

 

Shark Finning | Social studies

Hello everyone, in social studies we are looking at shark finning. Shark finning is where people kill sharks and cut their fins and make them into soup. We are finding more information about it and we have to answer some question that is quite questionable. 

What is it?

Shark finning is something delicacy in china. Shark finning is where people catch sharks and cut off their fins and make them into soup 

Why is this delicacy?

It's because it's expensive and this kind of a show-off how rich they are. This also a traditional thing in China.  

How is this impacting our oceans?

This impacts us by the food chain, if the sharks are gone the other food chain will be wiped off because other fishes will over populate.

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: 

1. Set up element

2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.

3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.

4. Carefully, place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker. 

5. Turn on the element to 3

6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming. 

7. 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

Here are the pictures that we took.

Dilution

Hello everybody, this chemistry we are experimenting with Serial Dilution. The picture below is the aim and the instruction about our experiment.

• Which was most dilute?  least concentrated 

The most dilute one is the last on because it has been passed and passed until the end and makes it weaker or dilutes more.

• How do you know it's more Dilute and Concentrated? Explain?

I know this because of how transparent or less colour they have meant that it's more diluted. The stronger the colour is mean its more concentrated 

Here are the pictures that we took.

Tane Mahuta

This morning, the teachers told us that we are going to the back garden/compost. We have to get a plastic bag and gloves this helps us to not get dirty while cleaning up, while we are cleaning up some students find worms and spiders its pretty disgusting so....let them be. As soon as we have finished we have to wash our hands, period 3 we have to now go clean at the sides at backfield and when we're cleaning at the backfield next to the road I clean a bush and.......found a 5 dollars, I rush to the teacher and give it, but the teacher didn't keep so she just gave it to me I was full of happiness. Some of the people saw me holding the 5 dollars they all asking me "omg can I have it" and I told them "uhhhh Nah" and they are pretty sad. here is some of the picture that they took by the teachers.
