In Social Studies, we have been given a task to complete our Refugee Inquiry

What you have been learning about?
- I am learning about refugees in Afghanistan and how they live.

What you found interesting?
- The whole work was interesting.

My first Solo Performance

1. What instrument do you playing and why
- Currently playing Piano, I found it simple to learn.

2. Which song have you chosen to perform and why?
- I choose 'Maroon 5 - Memories' for my performance because I just want to.

3. What type of assessment are you doing and why?
- I picked option 2, recording my performance because I'm not confident enough to perform to the class

Science

Part 1: Crystal

• How did we make our crystal? ( In steps ) 
• Take a photo
• What Salt are the crystals?

Part 2: Acid Rain

• How is acid rain formed?
• How is it affecting coral reefs?
• How can we prevent it?

Answers:

Part 1: Crystal

1. -We heated the sulfuric acid and we dissolve the copper oxide and then the solution turned blue.

- We filtered the blue solution 

- We put it in an evaporating basin

- We put the water in the beaker and let it boil

-  We watch the solution crystallize

2. 

3. Copper Sulfate

Part 2: Acid Rain 

1. When fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are burned, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric dioxide escape into the air. These molecules dissolve in the water in the clouds and make the rainwater in the clouds and make the rainwater more acidic than normal. When this happens, it is called acid rain.

2.  Coral Reefs in Acidic Waters. Increasing amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere from burning of fossil fuels. ... As seawater gets more acidic with more carbon dioxide dissolved in it, these creatures might have a harder time making their skeletons and shells. Calcium carbonate mineral dissolves in acid Link Link

3. Because nitrogen oxides are created in the process of burning coal and other fossil fuels, some power plants are changing the way they burn coal. A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Link Link

English - Film Techniques

In English, we were working on our S.E.X.X.Y. Paragraph. Our group task was to write a SEXXY Paragraph about how the techniques were effectively used. We wrote about the two-shot technique.

Group - Faith, Cole and Me

Statement	Evidence	Explanation of Director’s purpose	Explanation of effect on the audience	Your link (to the wider world, rest of film, self)
In this scene, the director used two-shot to show the intense emotions of both characters.	We see this when Sergeant Bormann held a weapon against Geel piet’s neck as we see the fear in his eyes.	The purpose of this two-shot is to help us see Geel’s Piet emotion as he was getting chocked by a baton. The purpose of this was to also see the guard’s anger as he was determined to kill Geel Piet.	This made the audience feel miserable for Geel Piet.	This aspect can be seen later in the movie as to how the guards treat the black people.

Science - Neutralisation

A chemical reaction occurs when you mix together an acid and a base. The base conceals out the effect of the acid. The reaction is called a neutralisation reaction because a neutral solution is made if you aff just the right amount of acid and base together.

Music - Reflection

Performance Assessment

What instrument did you choose to learn and why?

- I choose the piano because I think it's the easiest to learn out all of the instrument inside the class.

What song did you choose to learn and why?

- It was "Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonders, I and my group picked this song because it was based on our genre task "Soul"
.

What was challenging about this piece and how did you overcome the challenges?

- The play together part was challenging but eventually, we did overcome it by doing it over again.

Were you happy with your final recording/performance? why?
- We were happy about our performance considering it's our first time.

What would you change about your performance if you could do it again?
- It would be better if we played with another instrument.

Were you happy with your overall grade and why?
-
