Science experiment

Image result for science experiment gone wrong
There is an ugly feeling around team 5 on monday afternoon at Pt england school, Mrs Tele’a is very frustrated from sending kids home and growling Siaosi countless times. Do we trust or believe that the experiment would go right or wrong? We are currently collecting our equipment and resources for this mystery experiment. I’m curious and nervous at the same time. As I was walking back to class I was thinking of a hypothesis or a prediction toward this mystery experiment and hoping this exercise would be a success. The aim of this experiment is to see what everyday materials are flammable.
As soon as I got back to class I quickly hopped on my netbook to research about the experiment that we are going to do. The experiment required some deodorant from you local supermarket and a lighter. It is now time to do the experiment, everyone is excited but really they don't even know what is gonna hit them. Mrs Tele’a’s assistant Siaosi was gathering the equipment for the experiment. As soon as siaosi was ready he got the deodorant and lighter, He lit the lighter and placed the deodorant towards the lighter. It formed a flamethrower.
Everyone was happy that the experiment went to plan but the only person that wasn't happy was Siaosi. He found that everyone was laughing at him but he had no idea that his eyebrows and eyelashes were burnt off.
A few months later Siaosi eventually grew back his eyebrows and eyelashes. From that day everyone called him poko face. I felt sorry for Siaosi so I looked after him and protected him so that he can feel happy. My opinion is that this science experiment has to be one of the most hilarious experiments ever.

The fantasy tree

                                                     Once upon a time long ago at a old rusty farm there was a fantasy tree. This is no normal tree it’s a very special tree. More special than all the other trees surrounding it. The farmers call this tree the Fantasy Tree because that tree helps them grow kumara, potatoes, bananas and some special coconuts. “Ohh now I know why they call this the fantasy tree, now I know where to get my fresh kumaras and bananas from”. The good thing about this tree is that is attracts a lot of people's attention

But the sad thing is at least once a year these undercover ninjas try to cut and
steal this fantasy tree. The farmers a  sick of them trying to steal their tree but they have no option but to protect with all their heart. As night falls the ninjas will come in any minute now, as they are waiting all they can hear is the strong wind and the dogs barking. They can finally see the ninja about to approach them so they get ready to get into battle.

After 6 hours in battle, the war had finally came to an end a the farmers had won again, the happened again a they went thru the same situation over and over again. The farmer were so angry that the barricaded half the land.  

Until one day the farmers were fed up with the ninjas. So they came up with and idea with the ninjas which was a treety “ huhuh get it, treety “. so that night when the ninja would come again, once the farmers saw the ninjas the yelled at them and said “ Hey youse we need to talk to you for a minute”. So they put their weapon down and slowly walk over to each other. So, long story short they ended up making a treety for the ninjas to never ever try and steal the tree of fantasy. Then so they lived happy ever after. The END

Rust

Fast Rust Task
Rust

Walt: Synthesize information from multiple resources.

Task
Work on this Doc together with a partner.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.
Iron
Oxygen
Water


Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)
Oxygen from the air mixes with water. The iron surface of the nail reacts with the oxygen mixed in the water. It forms iron oxide. Iron oxide reacts with the water. It forms hydrated iron oxide - red stuff we call rust. This process continues until all the iron is eaten up.Screenshot 2016-11-08 at 9.31.44 AM.png

How could you prevent something from rusting?
Use paint and alloys (mixes of metals). Another way of avoiding rust is using spray-on wax or oil coatings that the car companies sell. One alloy that could be used is stainless steel, which helps the the iron to last longer (rusts slower). Keep iron away from water and oxygen. Another way is by galvanising. This means to coat Zinc over iron and only the zinc will be affected but you can easily wash it of. You could also use a coating of paint to stop water from getting into cracks to stop or to slow down the rusting process.


Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.
We learnt that oxygen, air and water is what causes things to rust. Also we didn’t know that rust could be prevented by painting over the metal, using spray-on wax or oil coatings. All iron objects can be rusted if they are exposed by oxygen and water including trains, bikes (chains), skateboards (wheel bearings), house roof and many other things. One interesting fact that we found out was that the harbour bridge has the biggest paint job to prevent it from rusting.

All Blacks - Narrative.

Image result for rugby world cup all blacks
“And they have done it again”. As the All Blacks defeat Australia 28 - 21 with the winning try in the last dying minutes of the game. After the sensational, breathtaking game both teams went back to their changing room either celebrating or  other case feeling down that they never won the final for nation. A while later the teams when out and prepared to get their awards.

“And I would like to announce the runners up for the 2015 world cup AUSTRAILIA”. When the Australians when up to get their  award the captain Stephen Moore said a short and short speech. “Now the Reigning champions The All Blacks”. As the All Black go up all you can is the audience is shouting with joy and excitement ( probably the supporters back in New Zealand is shouting at the T.V with Joy as well as the supporters who came overseas to supporters us).

And now it’s the time we have been waiting for and Richie Mccaw has the honors to lift the cup up one last time. All the his team then bring out the wine and beer and pop it as they were celebrating on the podium. When they finished celebrating they all went the separate ways and then the next day they had a fitness test just so that when they play other teams they can play at a high tempo and run around their opposition.
 

And finally the international season has come to an end. With a lot of history been made. This year's world cup has been very successful. And I can’t wait for the next World cup, Hopefully they could have the world cup in the pacific islands.  

Term 3 Reflections (Bad / Good):

Highlights of the term:
For me this term has been a successful term in class and also when it come to sports. In the classroom I have very committed in my learning so that it can help me in the future. My first highlight of this term is the sports and the technology that we have at Pt England School. My second highlight of this term is how all the sport teams have been very successful in Netball, basketball, rugby and many more sport. My reflections about my highlights have come to an end and I hope you enjoyed reading about my highlights.

Funny moments:
All I remember was when Peteli got snapped by Mrs Tele’a playing Deluge which is a game that is related to Pokemon. When Mrs Tele’a snapped Peteli he got stood up and had to hold Mrs Tele’a arm and walk around the team 5 block, when petel while he was walking he felt embarrassed. After a while he got sent back to class and told Mrs Tele’a that he would never be dogey again, But the funny thing was that Peteli got snapped again the next day playing the same game.

Memories:

My coolest moment at school was 2014 when me our team went to the eastern zone tournament for rugby in year 6 and 5. All I remember was Pt England vs Tamaki Primary in the final. I remember when Taimana kicked the ball across the field and Sateki dived like superman and scored the winning trie.

Olympic narrative

Image result for olympics bolt

“Oooooh and off goes the reigning champion Bolt with a very slow start”. Finally he has caught up to Justin Gatlin from behind. As Bolt caught up to Gatlin the race was unpredictable. Can Justin Gatlin finally beat Usain Bolt for the 2nd time in his running career?


Bolt looks he is gonna lose the 100m sprint in the 2012 London Olympics. Although Bolt is known as the fastest man in the world, Maybe in 2012 Olympics he can get proven that he is not the only fastest man in the world. As the race is going all the athletes are starting to give up, Now it is just Gatlin and Bolt.


They were coming down to the last 50m and Gatlin is still in the the lead.40m to go and every athlete is gonna use all their energy, 30m to go and Bolt is just losing. “ Ooh an out of nowhere Bolt is now in the lead with 20m left of the track. The reigning champion is back in the lead!!!. As bolt is running he can hear his coach Glen Mills shouting on the side saying “ Come on Bolt lets make your family and your country proud by bringing home a gold medal”.


Bolt is only 10m away from that nice and shiny gold medal but the other athletes have already given up.Usain bolt is already celebrating before he has finished his race in the 2012 olympics. Usain Bolt Has won his 2nd Gold medal of the 100m sprint. The Jamaican athlete has proved to the world that  He is  the fastest man in the WORLD!!!.


This writing is not true its a narrative writing

2016 Remuera Walter Dickson

Inline image 1

Hi guys this is my 2016 Remuera Walter Dickson team. this is a representative team of  all east Auckland. I was fortunate enough to go and trial for this team. we had three trials, and in the trials our coach told us that he is not looking for individual work, he is looking for teamwork. And so when the trials were finished he named the finale 22 - 24 that had made it in to the finale team. I got named at hooker which surprising because I had never ever been there in my rugby career also because this was my first ever year playing rugby union and I never had experience with me as well. So when the team got named we all started to train, our training were at kings prep on a Wednesday and collage rifles on a sunday. Finally tournament time hopefully our training have payed off. " I could tell by the way that my team was nervous but I was ready".

This photo was taken before or games. After tournament we can 7th, But after the boys got changed we announced the kids who got to trial for Auckland East Roller mills. And so I was lucky to get a envelope, So now I have made it in to the East roller mills. This is really big because only 23 kids from the whole of Auckland get to play in this team and because this a Auckland representative team and so I'm really proud of my self. Also my family is proud of me.

I hope you like my story and leave me a comment.

Circus Lions (Kiwi Kids News)


Image result for Circus Lions
Today I read a sad article about these circus lions which was in the circus for about 5 - 7 years and they have all been treated bad. The way they were treated was very sad and heart breaking because they had their claws chopped off also one lion had one eye missing and one lion was almost blind and last of all their teeth was broken. But on the good side they will be returned back to africa but they will not be going back to the wild life because of all the hurtful thing that they circus had done to the lions also because they won’t be able to survive. So they will be in better homes for them and hopefully they can be treated better. My opinion of this article is it very emotional and hard to think about because no animal is good to be treated like that ever. All animals should be treated the same.

The victory against St Kent

“Man I’m I pumped I can’t wait to get on the field”. Kick off time and everyone in my team  were nervous . When the referee blew the whistle so the opposition team kicked the ball straight to I caught the ball and tried to use my speed to get around the opposition team. Then the opposition tackled me. After he got me to ground all my props came in  like a scrum and smashed the other team. When we had won the ball Noah fired the ball straight to Siaosi then he did a hospital pass straight to Temauri but he caught lucky. Then off goes Temuri running like a flash running around the team. “Yeah Temauri scored a beautiful try”. Oh no it’s up to me to get the conversion. “Okay Alfa just take your time okay”. I took a deep breath and then I kicked. I was watching the ball of where it went and It just went under the crossbar.


The 1st half finished and we are winning 45 - 37. We were talking about what we did right on the first half. As we set up I look to the left and all I see is our cheerleader Mr Jacobson cheering for our team. We all setup to kick the ball, As soon as Siaosi kicked we all chased for the ball. When the opposition caught I came flying in like a hot rocket and smashed the person who caught the ball. He had to get sent off because I broke his ribs like a twig. The game went on and we had a scrum, The scrum looked like two german tanks about to have a face down. They had turned it over and they passed it straight to their winger and off he went. I tried to chase him down but he was just too fast. So they leveled the score 45 - 45.

Only 5mins to go and it’s a draw. My team had played their hearts outs but the referee keeped on denying our try. "Um sure the St Kent coach payed the ref to cheat before the game". So I told the boys to keep their head and to hang their. Oh no only 10 seconds to go and we had the ball on the half way. So Noah pass the ball straight to me and I did a drop kick. At that moment everyone thought that I had missed but then it curved in and just made It in And I had one the game for my team. Everyone jumped on and gave me a big hug. I was really really happy about our Especially if you won the game for your team. I was their “SUPER HERO”. THE END

"I GOT YOUR BACK"

Image result for care
Today we watched a video of Reggie explaining his past and talking about how he was in foster care when he was a little boy. Also how his mum took him to her favourite school teacher instead of keeping Reggie but she kept her other kids. Now I'm gonna tell you three ways to care about people. Number 1 So'o Tauau which mean joining shoulders and care about them, Number 2 having your friends back when they need you Evan when through hard and good times, And number 3 caring about someone that you don't know because we want this world to be a better place.
