What I do every almost day

Today I will tell you what I do when I wake up and when I come back from school.


First thing is what I do every morning when I wake is go brush my Teeth. Then I go back into my room and tidy my bed, tidy bed = happy parents. After that I go eat my breakfast. Then I have my medicine. Then I go shower and go to school.


After when I come back from school I do all the house work there is.
And play on my devices then my parents come home and see the house so tidy when a few hours later I work on my studies. After that I eat my dinner and carry on my studies and few minutes later I go to bed
ready for the next day.

plastic bags

Issue: People have been throwing plastic bags into the ocean and been throwing them out in the open world. The plastic bag travels for away until they reach the ocean and been sitting in the Great Pacific Garbage patch.


What is a Great Pacific garbage patch?  The Great Pacific garbage patch, also described as the Pacific trash vortex, is a grey of marine debris particles in the central North Pacific Ocean discovered between 1985 and 1988.








Another Issue: When plastic bags fly into the ocean all the fish and the sea creatures have been thinking its food and eating plastic and have been dying because of that. And also have been stuck in them.


Here's some SHOCKING Photos 


Here's a poor turtle stuck in plastic. And its shell has grown around it.



Here's a bird eating plastic and rubbish and dying.


Here's a helpless turtle eating plastic.


These are all examples of what humans do with plastic.


What can we all do to help this from happening?
We can stop littering and stop throwing plastic around. So we can Keep these harmless and beautiful 

Maori performing Arts

Te Matatini

In 2004 the Aotearoa Traditional Māori Performing Arts Festival was again renamed, as Te Matatini o te Rā national festival, held every two years. The name ‘matatini’ (’many faces’) was coined by Dr Wharehuia Milroy in reference to the number and diversity of the participants. Since its formation Te Matatini has been the country’s largest Māori cultural performing arts festival, with at least 30,000 spectators watching the competition between around 40 kapa haka teams, each one the winner of its own regional competition, and totalling some 2,000 members. 

Gymnastics 2017

Today was our first Year 8 gymnastics lesson I loved it because the boys had to jump over a cone and jump backwards over the cone and girls had to do a forward role and a backwards role than we switched over. When I was about to jump over the cone the had a little fear of face planting in the wooden beam. And when I doing the forward role I messed up bad instead of a forward role I did side role. My friends laughed at me. I did't even try to a backwards role because I couldn't do a forwards role. But in the end I had lots of fun.

Body organs

Brain 

Function: Your brain is he boss of your body. It run the show and the controls just about everything you do,even when your asleep. Not bad for something that looks like a big,wrinkly,sponge.

Eyes 


Function: The eye has many parts that must work together to produce clear vision.


Lungs: Give you oxygen  

Heart: The heart pumps blood all 

Liver: The liver produces proteins that are important in your blood

Stomach: The stomach stores food and digests food as well.

Large intestine: The large intestine is to absorb water from the reaming  food 



Aneurysm 

Christchurch Water

1) Christchurch  Storm-water- What is it ?, Where does it go? What contaminates It?

What is it storm water- Storm water is a surface water in abnormal quaintly resulting from heavy falls of rains or snow.

Where does it go ?-  When storm-water cannot sink into the ground, it has nowhere to go but to flow across the surface of the ground. Most storm-water runoff flows either directly into streams,rivers,ponds,lakes and wetland.

HEARS A EXAMPLE    



What contaminates it?-  Storm water gets contaminated by: Sediment,trace metals such as copper,lead and  zinc.





2) Christchurch wastewater - What is it? - Where does it go?- What contaminates it?

What is Christchurch waste water?-  Waste water is when water is dirty such as water waste can come from a kitchen,bathroom,toilet, And laundry.

How to get water up the hill.

JOB: Agricultural soil Specialist

Scenario: Your client wants to plant crops in a field 1.5 m above the local river. HE needs to get water to this field and has no electricity to run a pump and no hose he must start from scratch!. How he achieve this ?

You will need to consider ancient history + an important person from back than.


The person is: Archimends                 


Archimedes was born In 287 B.C, Syracuse,Italy (B.C means before Chris). Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician,Physicist,engineer,inventor,and astronomer. Al- thought few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientist in classical antiquity. He sadly died on 218 B.C in Syracuse,Italy. Cause of death: Murder. 

Task B           

KETE High Impact

                                                                Force

                   Say if you were in a football team and your playing a match against Real Madrid and
                    your a striker and your team passed the the ball to you and were going score a goal
                    but you just taped the ball some how. Well just apply some force into it and it will
                     roll a-cross the ground fast!!. 

                                Accelerate
                                                                   
                  The speed of which an object For example the speed of a football depends on the force
                   used to kick the ball. A soft tap on the ball will make the ball travel slowly. If I kicked the ball
                   hard the ball will travel fast Accelerating.

                                                                Air resistance
                   Air resistance is the friction force air exerts against a moving object.
                   As a object moves, air resistance slows it down. The faster the object
                   is in motion the more air resistance exerted against it.

                                                               Unbalanced forces 
                     Unlike balanced forces, we can say unbalanced forces when two forces are acting on
                      on an object are not equal in size


                                                               Push
                       Push is when you push someone or push a button it involves fingers and hands pushing
                        someone involves strength.Pushing is hard to learn when you little, but you get older.
                        Its not so bad when you push.    

               

 
Balanced forces: Balanced force is when each side 
is equal.  

Gravity: It's like Earth pulling on you and keeping you on the ground. 

Motion: Motion means movement. Motion can also be defined as continued human movement.

Pull: Its when drag or grab a object and lead a object towards you.

potential energy: The energy possessed  by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stressed within itself, electric charge, and others.

Kinetic energy: Energy which a body possessed by virtue of being 
in motion. 

Friction: The resistance that one surface or object encounters when
moving over another.
