Hurumanu Digitech

Hey Bloggers 

For the past few weeks we have been doing digital technology. We had to choose an issue, so I chose Environmental because there is lots of plastic in the ocean killing the sea animals. I choose this issue because I am an animal lover and I want the animals to survive and not to be extincted. 

• There is water pollution in the water there is lots of plastic and the sea turtles are thinking that the plastic is jellyfish so they eat it and then die.

• There is ocean trash which is killing the animals that is the same is the water pollution. 

• Flooding is another problem there is lots of flooding a round the country.

What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear!

PE HURUMANU With Miss Simpson

Welcome back to my blog today we are in hurumanu PE we are with Miss Simpson. Today we are quite tired as we did the beep test. 

Why do you think we do fitness? I think we do fitness to keep us fit and we can try to beat our score.

Here are all my results for what we did:

Vertical Jump
    M1:2.1

     M2: 2.3

Sit and Reach:

23

Sit Ups: 24

Grip Test: 22

Beep Test: 3.1

I think I need to work on my running as I did not pass level 5, I think I will practice running in my own time so I can beat my score.

I was working well with my group by recording down there scores.

For the beep test I was cheering on all the contestants that were still in the beep test after I gave up.  By cheering on all the girls in who were still in they probably did not get as far as they did. Tasharn made it to 7.8 which she beat her sister Tahnesha. All the girls when they past level 5 was kind of struggling but they still keep going, which was good. 

Learning story art

In art hurumanu art  we had to do a learning story here is mine:

Title:                        Manakitanga
Name:	Teachers: Miss Birtch, Miss Keene and Whaea Rowena			Date:
VALUES / SKILLS
Year 8 Graduate Profile Highlight the parts of the Profile you are now doing on a regular basis	Commitment	Achievement	Resilience	Respect	Skills
	In your reflection think about how you displayed the CARR values, and what curriculum skills you learnt.
People Smart I listen to understand people’s ideas and opinions I can work successfully with others I understand how my feelings and actions can affect others I act responsibly even when no one is watching I can give useful feedback to others I take responsibility for my own actions I am an outstander – I choose to help others who are having a difficult time  Active Learner I am a curious learner – I ask questions I use feedback to improve my learning I have a growth mindset I know what my next steps are I share my ideas and point of view with different people Learning Smart I am organised and have everything that is needed for my learning I complete my work in the time I’m given I am punctual by being in the right place at the right time I manage my emotions when I am frustrated or challenged I ask for help when I don’t understand what to do Thinking Smart I can reflect on my learning I understand others’ opinions and ideas I can think critically I can think creatively  Cyber Smart I use the internet and devices in a safe way I can be trusted to use my device for the task I am meant to be doing I can use digital tools creatively I can use digital tools for different purposes	What we did: We Got into groups of 4 and had to decide On what part of manaakitanga we wanted to to do my group chose to do hospitality it was about a family who went to a restaurant and ordered some food when it was a day where everything was free and when they were leaving they left them some money.
	What I learned: In Art I learned about how to use Stop Motion and to download it to my drive it took a little long to figure it out, we then had to add our voices overtop of the stopmotion
	What I enjoyed: In hurumanu this term i enjoyed making clay models and getting to use something that I don't get to use everyday it is clay and an app called stop motion as i have never used it on a computer.
	What I found difficult: The part I found difficult was making the clay stay but i ended up making the clay stay, we had to take the picture fast so now our stopmotion is way to fast for our script.

Hurumanu Science

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1.  Water/Soda Water
2.  Bag
3.  Food Colouring
4.   Litmus Paper

Steps:

1.  Get the Marker and the Bag from the teacher
2. Draw the water cycle on the bag 
3.  Go up to get 1 cup  of water or soda water 
4.  Put 2 drops of food colouring
5. Hang the bag up on the window

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments:

1. Bag 1 Cycled water
2. Bag 1 had a small amount of water
3. Bag 1 had none Acidity
4. Bag 2 Cycled Water
5. Bag 2 Had a small amount of water
6. Bag 2 had a large amount of Acidity
7. Bag 3 Cycled
8. Bag 3 had a small amount of water
9. Bag 3 Had none Acidity

Conclusion:

Bag 1  Had Cycled water, Had a small amount of water and had no Acidity.

Bag 2 Cycled water, Had a small amount of water and Had a large Acidity.

Bag 3  Cycled the water, had a small amount of water and had no Acidity.

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapour
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

Art

Welcome back To my blog, In Art Hurumanu we have been making our clay or whiteboard drawings, My group have been making Clay animations there is 4 people in my Group Danielle, Shalizeh, Jessica and I Jessica and Danielle were Finishing off out clay well Shalizeh and I were making the background for our setting. We are doing this so we can learn about Stop Motion and animations. I Like Painting and Making things out of Clay, Every time I finish off Painting our background I always Get paint on me.
