Healthy eating

Hey readers,

Today, I will be talking about a healthy menu for a week. During health, we are currently learning about foods that are healthy for us. 

Some students in our class doesn't usually eat breakfast before they go to school, we had a great discussion about how we should not skip breakfast, lunch and dinner because it is important to eat. Some people has a diet plan, they don't eat and starve themselves because they might think they're getting big, but in reality, they are just growing, foods helps us grow and have more energy, there is no limit when it comes to eating. 

There are different types of food groups, which is protein, carbs, grains , dairy, fat, vegetables and fruits. 

We had to be in pairs and we had to make a healthy menu for a week, we were looking for foods that are healthy for everyone.

   

Thank you for reading my blog, that's all for today, have a great day, goodbye:))

Maui and the sun activities

Hey everyone, 

It's going to be an another blog about Maui and the sun, but I'll be sharing you the activities I've done. 

First activity that we had to do is: 

"Imagine if Maui was unavailable to capture and slow the sun. Create an advertisement to find someone else to do the task. What skills would this person need? What would you expect them to do this job? - Also include a phone number for them to call and a bold, interesting heading to grab peoples attention.

I created a poster by using the website called Canva. I just made it simple with bold fonts, a simple background, and some information that includes a fake phone number (Do not dial this phone number as it is fake). Here's my work:

The next thing I did was to come up with an invention to help Maui that can be used to capture the sun.

I drew different symbols and just tried to add them altogether to make an invention. I added a little description explaining the design I created. I also labelled them so it won't get a little confusing. #

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time, goodbye:))

Indicators/Red cabbage (Science)

Hey everyone, 

This post will be about science, the experiment we did last week since I wasn't able to post it. There was a rotten red cabbage since our teacher left it for days. We can make colour by using Acid and Base. 

Aim: I want to find out how to change colours by using red cabbage with Acid and Base. 

Research:

Method:

Equipment: 

• Test tube 
• Red cabbage
• Beaker 
• Dropper - science
• Test tube rack 
• Stirring rod 
• Acid and Base

Instructions: 

1. Get all your equipment ready. 
2. Get a (rotten) cabbage and put it inside the beaker. 
3. Add a half of a water inside. 
4. Use the stirring rod to stir till the colour gets darker.
5. Place the test tube in the test tube rack. 
6. Add red cabbage inside the test tube by using the dropper. 
7. Use the Acid and Base ( you can add as much as you want to make a colour) inside the test tube with the rotten red cabbage inside. 
8. Make a colour. 

Results: 

 

First of all, the rotten red cabbage did smell but when we added half of a water inside it kinda fade away. At first, it was really fun making those sorts of colours but everyone got competitive when we had to make different colours, a colour that is not the basic. A mixed colour would also count. I feel like we added more Base than Acid. 

That's all for today, I hope you enjoy reading and that's all for today, goodbye:))

Diwali

Hey everyone,

Today I will be talking about Diwali. Diwali is a festival. There is no original date of Diwali, it has a different date each year and it changes, but this year it was celebrated on Thursday November 4. I made a small presentation, just some facts about Diwali. I didn't get to add a lot but so far this is what I've done.

                

Thank you for reading, I hope you learnt something new about Diwali, goodbye. 

How Maui slowed the sun

Kia Ora everyone,

For today, I will be sharing my work about how Maui slowed the sun. This story is about a guy living on a village where there's not enough sunlight during the day, so he decided to slow down the sun. 

We had to read a text and watch a video to know the story. There were some questions that I had to answer that is part of the work. I haven't finish all of the slides but I will be showing what I currently finished. 

 

 Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you learnt something new. Goodbye:))

Making Sherbet (Science)

Kia Ora everyone,

Today is an another blog during science. We are going to learn how to make sherbet. 

Aim: I want to find out how to make a Sherbet. 

Research: We had to find 2 different videos that are the experiment and science about sherbet. 

Method:

Equipment: 

• Popsicle sticks 
• Mini red cup
• Baking Soda
• Citric acid 
• Raro (Flavour)
• Paper 

Instruction:

1. Get your equipment ready. 
2. In the paper, you will be given a baking soda, citric acid and raro.
3. Pour a small amount of each ingredients inside the mini red cup.  
4. You have to add each ingredients one by one (You can't put them all at once).
5. Try to get your mixture right, it depends on you on what you should add more or less. (You can have a taste to check)
6. It has to be a little bit bubbly and not too sour. 

Results: 

(During the process of making it, I didn't have time to take a picture but I only had this.)

At first I couldn't get the mixture right because I added too much citric acid which made it really sour, but as soon as I added the baking soda it kinda had no taste and is really dry. I then added the raro, I think it got a little better than before since it wasn't that sour anymore. It took me some time to make it right. I had to add less citric acid and more baking soda with raro. 

Discussion: Why did it foam?

It starts to foam because of the chemical reaction from the baking soda and citric acid. This is what makes them sour. citric acid is a type of chemical that is an acid, some of these are strong and can be dangerous but it doesn't apply for all, some acids are safe. 

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you learnt something new today, goodbye:))

Waihanga Ngohe 4 (Art)

Good morning/afternoon everyone, 

For today, I will be going to talk about what we are currently working on during Art. 

The first thing we had to do is to go on the link (Quizlet) and go over the words that are used about art works. We were given an image of Henri Rousseau's paintings and cut them up into background, foreground and middleground images. I had to stick them into an A3 paper and position them separately.

This is what I've done: 

Henri Rousseau's painting 

Here are some facts about Henri Rousseau's art: 

- His paintings are mostly jungle landscapes.

- Henri Rousseau's painted 123 artworks. 

- His most expensive artwork is the "Lion eating a boa". 

- His paintings are worth from $10 USD to $2,882,500 USD. 

Thank you for reading this blog, have a great day and goodbye:))
