Shot put

Today in P.e we did shot put and here is some of the skills we did to prepare us for athletics day.

-Do not flick your wrist 
-Push not Throw
-Throw with 3 fingers 
-Put the shot put up to your neck when throwing 
-Stand with your legs apart when throwing 
-crouch slightly

Self Directed Learners

In the self directed learner's task I had to set myself some goals for me to accomplish.

   The green means what I have achieved and the yellow is what I need to achieve.

Apocalyptic Collaborative Writing

Man vs Machine 

1. It was man versing machine in a giant war.

2. It was a terrifying fight with both men and machines fighting their way to victory in a war.

3. It was a terrifying fight with both man and machine they were both fighting their way to victory the fight is like a tiger and a lion having a fight
to the death.

4. It was a humongous fight with both man and machine fighting to the death like a lion would to
claim its place as a pride leader both man and machine were fighting their way to victory.

5. It was a humongous fight in France with both man and machine fighting to
the death like a lion would to claim its place as a pride leader. Lots of tears began
as some soldiers and teammates lost their lives both teams were furious. Side by
side the teams collided and fought their way to victory.

6. A war was ready both men and machines grew their teams to get ready to
collide with the opposite team, and only one team would take the victory. It was
a humongous fight in France with the Eiffle tower barely standing, with both man
and machine fighting to the death like a lion would claim its place as a pride leader. 

Lots of tears began as some soldiers and teammates lost their life.
Both teams were furious and full of anger. Side by side the teams collided
and tried their best to fight their way to victory.

Hurumanu:Climate Change and the Future

Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea level rise going to effect us in NZ

What places will be effected?

Most places by water because the sea levels will rise and places and Places close to the coast.

What else do we need to think about?

Moving houses if your close to a place that will be effected by the sea levels and the water isn't good for you if it is salt water.

What other places around NZ will be affected?

What does this do to our drinking water?

Effect's Water supply by making salt water take over the clean water.

What are the main concerns?

Show of Emotions-Hurumanu

Today in drama we have been given a slideshow with two videos, we were told to watch them both and see what emotions they show. One of them was Mr bean acted by Rowan Atkinson, we had to explain what emotions they show and how we see them like body language, face expression and gestures.

Here is the video for Mr bean...

So what expressions did he show: So this is a classic comedy tv-series, so the emotions he showed at the very start was him being happyabout the things that were going on around him and the way I knew was that he was smiling, as he sat down he saw a man with his breakfast. Mr Bean(Rowan Atkinson) saw the man feasting on his sandwich and decided to bring a whole supermarket in his pocket. When I said supermarket I meant that he brought butter, big loaf of bread, lettuce and etc. Even a hot water bag to make his tea. He felt worried at first and then sooner or later felt happy because he can have breakfast too.

When he was about to bite into his sandwich, he accidentally sniffed in the black pepper and then once he had the sandwich up to his nose, he sneezed into his sandwich and his tea went everywhere. That made him sad and depressed until the man offered him one of his sandwiches. He was happy again but still sad because he did not have tea. 

Here is the second video...

So what expressions did he show: So surprisingly I did not know that this is Johnny Depp at a young age,  

Hurumanu-Renewable Energy

Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.

1. Hydro Energy - The Energy is generated through hydropower depends on the water cycle which is operated by the sun, this makes it a renewable power source making it a more reliable source other than fossil fuels that are quickly being wasted.


2. Solar Energy - Solar Energy is luminous light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a reach of technologies such as solar heating & Solar Panels. It is a renewable resource, 

it is obtained from the sun's rays. Solar energy is transformed immediately to electricity through a solar photovoltaic panel. Solar rays are collected off reflective surfaces and heats an object to process it that creates solar thermal energy.

3. Wind Energy - Wind Power or Wind Energy is operated by the wind to provide it to function and make power through wind turbines to turn electric generators, it can do other work like milling or pumping. Wind power is sustainable and renewable energy and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels.

4. Wave Energy - Wave power is generated by the up and down motion of floating devices placed on the surface of the ocean, Let's say that wind produces waves and waves produce energy, it is also renewable energy. As the waves travel across the ocean, very high-tech devices capture the physical movements of the ocean currents and the flow to generate power. 

This energy can be used to run turbines and there are plenty of places where the winds are strong enough to produce continuous wave movements or motions.

1. Type: Hydro
2. Is it used in NZ ? Hydropower is used in New Zealand
3. Other Countries that use it?
4. How is it used to generate electricity?
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labelled.

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

Hurumanu-Wind power

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1. Anemometer: An instrument for measuring the speed of the wind.
2. Beaufort wind scale: The Beaufort scale is to measure relating to the wind to see the conditions in the sea or/and on land.

MATERIALS  

1. Pencil w/rubber on top  
2.   x1 Pin
3.   x2 Long sticks
4. x4 Cups
5. Sellotape
6. Scissor

STEPS

1. Put the stick on top of each other in an X shape and tape it in the middle.
2. Get a pencil and put the X shape on top of the rubber of the pencil and pin it together through the tape of the X.
3. Tape all the cup at the end of each end of the X so that can catch the wind.
4. Take it outside and it should start catching wind... if there is any and depending on how strong it is. 

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper ( watch)

• Counter

• Recorder ( chromebook or refill )

• Anemometer Manager ( Anemometer)

• Wind Manager

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

We found that on the Field it was an open space but there was no wind at all and we got "0" spins in 15 secs, the old J block site was removed but has an open space and enough wind to go past, but unfortunately there was no wind and there were "0" spins in 15 secs, we were not sure what was happening. Whether the Anemometer was the problem or there was just no wind, we weren't sure but we did our best to make it at least go in the whole spin. We went to the new artificial grass hill area to see if we can get wind there, but the same results were coming over and over again. Once we moved to the Tennis Court gate there was a difference, we got a little breeze and it had much more wind power to make it spin all the way and we got "1" spin-in 15 secs.

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	0
2.	Old J Block site	0
3.	Grass hill in quad	0
4.	Tennis Court gate	1

CONCLUSION:

The wind was calm and did not produce that much wind to make the Anemometer spin all the way around to call it a full spin, the Anemometer was unstabled between the rubber of the pencil and the pin connected to the rubber. We were given a comment from a gym teacher we should have added a small straw between them to make it more stable and catch more wind.
