Experiment: House Fires and Fire Safety

In a Blog Research and Answer these questions individually. Use the links to find information.

1. How do bush fires start and how has climate change made them more common?

2. What are 3 ways you could fire proof your house if you lived in an area likely to get bush fires?

3. When something burns it combusts, what is the difference between complete and incomplete combustion?

Answer:
1. You need some kind of heat to start a bushfire. Global warming boosted the risk of the hot, dry weather that's likely to cause bushfires by at least 30%, they say. But the study suggests the figure is likely to be much greater. It says that if global temperatures rise by 2C, as seems likely, such conditions would occur at least four times more often

2. Here are five ways to fireproof your home.

- Apply fire-retardant chemicals. Several companies offer fire-retardant sprays that a professional can apply to at-risk areas of your home and yard. ..
- Eliminate vegetation and other debris. ...
- Limit roof combustibility. ..
- Clean your gutters. ..
- Protect your windows.

3. Differences Between Complete and Incomplete Combustion Reactions. Complete combustion takes place in the presence of a sufficient amount of oxygen while an incomplete combustion reaction takes place when there is an insufficient amount of oxygen supply.

Persuasive Writing Activity: Current Issue

'Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?'

Assisted suicide should be allowed, but if only after a physiological examination to show they fully understand this choice, or if they have no chance they will survive their illness. For instance, If they were suffering from a bad illness and it was declared that they will not survive, it would be better to end their life with their consent.

My Perspective:

The Power Sentence

- Assisted Suicide should be allowed in our community.

The W-Start Sentence

- When the patient is hereby that he or she will not survive the illness, assisted suicide should be performed.

Very Short Sentence

- Allow Assisted Suicide. 

Other Perspective:

Begin With A Preposition

- In fact,  assisted suicide still considers murder.

The -Ed Start

- 

The Adverb Start

- Interestingly, some people refuse to end terminally ill patients lives, but they have the right to refuse artificial life support.

Volcano Project

 Our aim was to construct a volcano using newspapers and a milk gallon also erupting it.

Method - Fill the gallon with baking soda and vinegar it will create a chemical reaction representing the volcano erupting.

Hypothesis - 12 to 1 ratio, adding vinegar to baking soda gives you an immediate reaction. Adding baking soda to vinegar, the reaction is delayed but then fizzes the same amount. More vinegar is better. A 12 to 1 ratio of vinegar to baking soda caused a fizzing explosion.

Equipment - Newspapers, milk gallon, glue, cardboard and paint.

Subject matter	Form	Composition	Content
What does my painting depict? The subject matter of my painting is a rose	How did I create the different tones? I used diluted white acrylic paint to make a  thin wash.  I brushed this on the painting paper with the black gesso. This created a grey tone. To make lighter, grey tones, I added second and third layers of wash.	How did you compose your subject matter?  It’s a centred composition and it’s filled with negative space	Is your subject matter symbolic or does it express an idea?  There’s no really a particular idea about my work.
	How did you paint the highlights?	Is the negative space important in your painting?
	I layered my painting with a brighter white paint	Yes, the negative spaces made my composition being the centre of attraction

Children of B&B Essay Practice -- Writing SEXXYY Paragraphs

The novel ‘Children of blood and bone’ by Tomi Adeyemi is about a girl named Zelie who was trying to restore magic for her people with the help of her friends. In the text, the relationship between Inan and Zelie helped me to understand Inan. This is because it showed me a love-hate relationship between everyone and his father, and him changing throughout the story, also the betrayal that he shows both to his father and Zelie.

The incident of Amari’s rebellion and how Amari changes throughout the story helped me to understand the important idea of character development because it showed me that how can someone change. We see this in the text when Amari stole the scroll and ran it off accidentally met Zelie. This means that Amari thinks stealing the scroll would change something. This made the reader feel surprised and amazed because how can someone from a weak and fragile person becomes strong and brave individual. It reminded me of another important part in the book when Zelie killed someone on the ship while they were fighting for the sunstone because this also shows the idea of character development. In the real world, this idea is important because it makes a person better and more responsible for each move they make.

Learning outcome:

We are learning to write an essay using S.E.X.X.Y. paragraph method.

Tzain as her partner and Zelie more of a new Binta which is very hard to believe from where they started off wanting too kill each other too becoming a very strong team. My second explanation is Amari has completely broken out of her shell from being a shy and very quite and unphased girl too a warrior fighter basically overnight really has shaped her and her attitude towards the reality of the life outside of the palace. Lastly Amari’s learned whilst being with Tzain and Zelie and meeting all the effected diviners and maji that her father's vision is horrible and evil, she was able to get past his crazy lifestyle and relise she can build her own future and decide on her own what she needs and wants to do.

Our group's chosen character is Amari, we decided on this particular character because of her changes throughout the journey of bringing magic back and so on. From being this shy broken girl too becoming an absolute warrior has been a very amazing transformation for Amari, having too betray her royal family for the safe sake of magic and the diviners have really given her the opportunity to show her own potential and brush off that horrible attitude and mindset her fathers pushed on her for her whole life. Including convincing her brother that he doesn't have to be like their father King Saran, they can choose their own pathway.

Canterbury Prezi

 In Social studies, we did a massive project using prezi. I've learned alot of things throughout the project such as the history of Canterbury. The thing that I like about Christchurch is the designs of the buildings they were modern looking.

Antarctica - Field trip studies

 On the 4th of September, the 10ESOL class went on a trip with Ms.Briggs, Mrs Handley and Mrs Flores to the Antarctic Centre, we went there by a taxi van.

The first thing we did, is to visit the workshop, and we then meet this woman who is Jane, she was our instructor throughout the day, she told us a lot of History and knowledge about Antarctica it was very interesting and overwhelming. After that, we were sent to the penguins and this lovely lady who was feeding the penguin was told us about this kind of penguins, this type of penguin is called " Little Blue penguin" this penguin is the smallest kind of its race. Moreover, We watched a 4d movie, it's like your inside the movie and you're the one who's filming it, it was such a good experience. At this time, my most favourite thing that happened on trip was to ride on a Hagglund, it was a bumpy ride and was enjoyable. Hagglund was designed to carry troops and equipment in Antarctica, and it is used now by the scientist that study in  Antarctica. Later, we had a 45 minutes break to answer our worksheets and have some snack. And finally, the most enjoyable part was to experience the weather of Antarctica in summer, there was this room that simulates the weather in Antarctica, we were there for 8 minutes and it felt like an hour. my body feels numb and limp when it goes night the only thing that makes Antarctica so cold is the wind.

To sum up, our trip to the Antarctic centre was fun and enjoyable, throughout the expedition we learned a new kind of different things, and all thanks to our teacher Ms. Briggs and to the teachers that come with us.

 10 Art 2 Reflection Matrix

Tohatoha-Share your learning with a written reflection and post to your student blog. 

Use the matrix questions to guide your writing about your work. You are analysing the parts of your work and your responses to these parts 

Subject Matter	Form	Composition / Space	Content /  Meaning	Your image
What is the subject matter of your stencil? A Mickey Mouse? Gumboots? Kowhaiwhai? It’s a rose	Does your colour set a mood or structure the picture space?  I'm not really sure if it is.	What is the chief interest of your painting? The stencil shape? The negative space? I personally think it’s the rough background.	Does your stencil express any values or ideas?  Honestly, it doesn’t, it’s just made up of gibberish as I am not good in arts
Is your stencil subject matter a symbol? A logo? A portrait? Something else?  It’s a rose with different colours	Are the colours related in bold contrasts or gradual transitions (blends)? Yes, to show the individual more.	Stencils are quite flat. Have you used overlap to create space? I used a sponge to tap it around.	Is the meaning of your stencil changed by the way you paint it?  repeating the stencil shape?
Have combined your stencil with  other imagery? For e.g., used it in a landscape? No, it’s just basically made up of a rough background	Does your painting use a  variety of applications of paint? Have you used Impasto or flat painting? A wash, stippling or drybrush?	Tone and Colour contrast create  space. Do your colours react against each other? Move forward or backwards in space?  Yes, I used negative colours for each roses.	How does repeating a stencil symbol change its meaning? Does it have more emphasis or less?
Does your subject matter change? Is the painting more about the colour, form, texture, and space than the stencil subject matter? It’s about the colour and the stencils.	What kind of texture does your painting have? Were you able to control this effect? It has a rough texture.	Does the repeated placement of your stencil create any focal points or leading lines? Yes, it does make the colour darker.	How does the colour used change the meaning of the stencil? For e.g.,if a Batman symbol is painted in pink colour?  I don’t really know the knowledge about this. I'm using whatever colour I want.

Children of Blood and Bone - Part 3

 Chapter 56 – Zélie

  We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides. Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving their joy, their life.
The children of Orïsha dance like there’s no tomorrow, each step praising the gods. Their mouths glorify the rapture of liberation, their hearts sing the Yoruba songs of freedom. My ears dance at the words of my language, words I once thought I’d never hear outside my head. They seem to light up the air with their delight.
It’s like the whole world can breathe again.
This could be compared to a festival, a lot of people gather to celebrate a festival.

Chapter 59 – Zélie
“How will me coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak, your father calls for my head!”
“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s misguided, but his fear is justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring. They’ve never experienced anything like this.” He gestures to the camp, face alight with so much hope his smile practically glows in the darkness. “Zulaikha created this in one moon, and there are already more diviners in Lagos than anywhere else in Orïsha. Just imagine what we could accomplish with the resources of the monarchy behind us.”
not having seen the other side of the story

Chapter 66 – Inan
Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust.
For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
…
In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?

A message I take from this scene is that how bad king Seran is and how he can do this bad stuff to another human. 

Technology And Change

In Social Studies, we were learning different eras and do a blog explaining the technology of the era advancement.

 ‘Ancient Egypt’

During the Ancient Period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during this time were papers, boots, mirrors, wigs and boats. These inventions are seen during this time are all still widely seen and used today.

A significant invention in Ancient Egypt is the invention of boots, there is very little evidence of the use of covered shoes in ancient Egypt. The few that have been found were woven from palm fibre and grass. Such shoes seem to have been prized possessions. They were invented about 1500 b.c.e. Only significant people who were allowed to wear boots such as the infantry, royals, wealthy people, etc. as they were measured in social status and possession. Slaves weren’t allowed to wear boots. Therefore the creation of boots was very important to Ancient Egyptians. 

Another significant invention of Ancient Egypt is the invention of wig, The earliest Egyptian wigs (c. 2700 b.c.e.) was constructed of human hair, but cheaper substitutes such as palm leaf fibres and wool were more widely used. They denoted rank, social status, and religious piety and were used as protection against the sun while keeping the head free from vermin. In hence Wigs was one of the most needed inventions in Ancient Egypt. 

This significant invention is one of the most important Ancient Egyptians made, Ancient Egyptian invented boats, they were made 3000 B.C.E... Egyptians were using boats made of wood, with sails to move them around. The Egyptians believed the Sun travelled across the sky in a boat made of papyrus reeds. The presence of boats made a huge impact on today’s time, such as they were used for fishing, to carry passengers, etc. Wherefore the invention of boats was absolutely revolutionary.

To sum up, There were many Significant technological advancements seen during the Ancient Egyptian era. Some of these discussed are papers, wigs, boots, pyramids, mirror and the most important, boats. These are all commonly seen today all around the world and are still very important.

Catapult experiment

 In Science, we were told to make our own catapult machines using only popsicle sticks and rubber bands.

Math

 In Math, we learned to use substitution into an equation. To substitute the values of pronumerals into a formula means to replace the pronumerals with their corresponding values. When all but one pronumeral in the formula are replaced with numbers, the value of the remaining pronumeral can be evaluated. Order of operations must be observed at all times while evaluating.

and also we learned about how to use formulae. In formulae, letters are used to represent numbers. For example, the formula A lw = can be used to find the area of a rectangle. Here A is the area, l the length and w the width.

Children Of Blood And Bone - Part2

 Chapter 30 – Amari

Chaos.
Before this moment, I never truly understood the word. Chaos meant Mother’s screams before a luncheon. It meant the scramble of oloyes to their gold-lined chairs.
Now chaos surrounds me, pulsing through every breath and heartbeat. It sings as blood splatters through the air, snickers with delight as boats explode into oblivion.
This could be compared to a war, many people have died because of wars, and other people still having war shocks.

Chapter 43 - Inan
Now it takes everything to gain control. No matter how hard I fight, the risk of feeling Zélie’s pain lingers. A constant and growing threat.

A message I take from this scene is that Inan felt the rage of Zelie
(Why is thinking about the truth a “threat”?)

Chapter 45 – Inan
“Your people, your guards. They’re nothing more than killers, rapists and thieves. The only difference between them and criminals is the uniforms they wear.”

A message I take from this scene is the guards that Zelie's talking about is no different from the nasty criminals as they were horrible just like them.

“I won’t let your father get away with what he’s done. I won’t let your ignorance silence my pain”
With that, she disappears. Her quiet footsteps fade into the silence.
In that moment I realize how wrong I’ve truly been.
It doesn’t matter if I’m in her head.
I’ll never understand her pain.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is

Wind Racer

 1. Post a photo of your racer

2. Calculate the speed of your racer (race distance = 9m). Show your work.

3. Why did you choose your design? How could you have changed the design to make your racer go faster?

____________________________________________________________________________

1. 

2. V= ∆d/∆t 

    V = 9m/15.79s

    V= 0.57 ms-1

3. At first, we taught the design was good but actually it's not because we don't have the time to think any better designs .we could have made it better by putting two sail on the stick and it would have better aerodynamics.

Creative Writing - 1st peerson narrative

 We have been studying Antarctica, we listened to a story about Nanook, a husky, who was sent to Antarctica on an expedition in 1901. We then wrote the next chapter of the  story from Nanook's 'Point of View'

After the stary night. Nanook and friends have been told that they were leaving Lyttleton in two days on a boat that is called “Discovery” to travel Antarctica. After Nanook heard these words, he grunts so loud that everyone is staring at him, Nanook can’t wait to travel and explore the Vastness of Antarctica. A day before the adventure, the pack is getting ready and was excited to travel the new world and make memories throughout the adventure. Nanook was so excited that he did not get any good sleep because he still thinks about the words he heard.
