Piwaka Rarauhe ©️

Kia Ora Katoa!

This week in my Wānanga we have been doing tasks to do with the Olympics which is happening at the moment. My class got six options of tasks to do in class those are: Design a logo for the Christchurch Olympics & Paralympics, write a argument about why you think Olympics should have gone ahead, find 5 different statistics or facts about 3 sports, choose a sport not included in the Olympics and explain why it should be in the Olympics, create a DLO about the Olympics and make a mascot. I choose to create my own mascot.

Firstly I searched up animals in New Zealand I choose Piwakawaka because it seemed like a unique animal to New Zealand. Then I made a google drawing to start tracing the shape of the bird. Once I finished tracing I added details from the Piwakawaka to make it look more similar to the real life version. After I finished the bird I started adding background details, I choose to make it look like it is swimming and I also put a swimming cap on the Piwakawaka's head. Once I finished with everything I choose a name for my Piwakwaka. The name I choose was Piwaka Rarauhue because it relates to New Zealand Piwaka is short for Piwakawaka and Rarauhue translates to Fern from Maori.

Here is what I created:

Measuring Mentos and Coke 🌋🥤

 Hello Everyone!

Today in science I learn't how to do the Mentos and coke experiment. Bellow this sentence is the process.

Aim: I want to find out how many bubbles are made when Mentos is dropped in coke. 

Method:

Equipment:

• Safety glasses 
• Coke, Coke zero, Sprite
• Mentos
• Measuring cylinder (100 ml and 10 ml)
• Detergent (liquid soap)
• Small  beaker 

Instructions:

1. Get all of the required equipment's.
2. Pour 20 ml of coke into 100 ml measuring cylinder.
3. Add 5 ml of detergent to the Coke into the 100 ml measuring cylinder.
4. Add Mentos
5. Measure the height 

Results:

	Bubble height
Coke	Coke zero	Sprite
45ml	35ml	40ml

Conclusion:

I found out that  when you add detergent and Mentos to a soda bubbles erupt from the detergent and Coke gets to the highest height of bubbles.

Hello Everyone!

Today I have used reading plus once again for reading. This time I have definitely improved in my visual skills, I have gotten more than 90 percent on both of my lessons I have done for it. I wasn't really best at comprehension today although I got a combo but only with 80 percent of over. Next time I am going to work on vocabulary and reading and I hope to get better. Thank you for reading my post.

Hello Everyone!

Today I have used reading plus again.  I have worked on reading this time and have definitely gotten better at it. I didn't really do anything else other than that. Next time I will work on visual skills because to be honest I'm not the best at it.  I hope you enjoyed this post.
