Hi,
In reading we read a book about a girl that name's Rez and she talk about what happen to their country. Then after she talk about her country she also talk about were they live. Then we all read the whole book after that we have to answer the questions were given. So here is the presentation that I have made I hope you like it.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Crystal
Hi,
This week in Science we have been doing an experiment. So in Science have been doing an experiment about making a crystal in science. In science we got into groups of 3 and me and my partner we were only 2 so we have work really fast so that's why we can finish the third one because there is three types of crystal were going to. After we have done our process making the experiment after 1 day we got to see the crystal and our one has a crystal under the rope and it shape like a snow flake but after a few minutes when we have look at it again it melted. So if you want to make crystal read the process here below I hope you like it.
Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals
Definition of solution:
A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water)
Definition of saturated:
Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)
In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.
Borax Crystals

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water
Materials
1)Cup
2) Borax
3) Warm water
4) Popsicle stick
5) Rope
Process
Step 1: Grab a cup
Step 2: Pour 3 table spoon of borax
Step 3: Pour some warm water
Step 4: Get a Popsicle stick and a rope
Step 5: Then tie the rope on the Popsicle stick
Step 6: Then only put the rope in the cup not the Popsicle stick
Sugar Crystals
Materials
1) Cup
2) Sugar
3) Warm water
4) Rope
5) Popsicle stick
Process
Step 1: First grab a cup
Step 2: Pour a 1 cup of sugar
Step 3: Then pour the warm water
Step 4: Get a Popsicle stick and a rope
Step 5: Then tie the rope in the Popsicle stick
Step 6: After that put the rope in the water
Salt Crystals

Ratio: 4 Tablespoons salt to 1/2 cup water
Materials
1) Cup
2) Salt
3) Warm water
4) Rope
5) Popsicle stick
Process
Step 1: Grab a cup
Step 2: Pour a 4 table spoon of salt
Step 3: Then pour the warm water in the cup
Step 4: Fourth one you grab some rope and a Popsicle stick
Step 5: Then Tie the rope in the Popsicle stick
Step 6: After that you put the rope in the water

Flourite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.
| 8 |
| |
Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral with the formula PbMoO4. It can be most often found as thin tabular crystals with a bright orange-red to yellow-orange color, sometimes brown, although the color can be highly variable.

Tanzanite is a trade name that was first used by Tiffany and Company for gem-quality specimens of the mineral zoisite with a blue color. Tiffany could have sold the material under the mineralogical name of "blue zoisite," but they thought the name "tanzanite" would stimulate customer interest and be easier to market.

orthombicof or denoting a crystal system or three-dimensional geometrical arrangement having three unequal axes at right angles.
| 8 |
| |
Hexagonal of or denoting a crystal system or three-dimensional geometrical arrangement having three axes of equal length separated by 60° and a fourth axis of a different length at right angles to these.
"a hexagonal close-packed crystal structure"
| 12 |
| |
Monoclinic of or denoting a crystal system or three-dimensional geometrical arrangement having three unequal axes of which one is at right angles to the other two.
| 12 |
| |
TriclinicIin crystallography, the triclinic (or anorthic) crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. A crystal system is described by three basis vectors. In the triclinic system, the crystal is described by vectors of unequal length, as in the orthorhombic system.

CIP
Hi,
So in CIP we have to pick an art of what we are going to do in CIP So what is CIP it is community impact project. So In CIP we have to vote what we are going to do and we have vote the relative animals in New Zealand like a kiwi bird. Then we will try to make the kiwi bird that is made out of rubbish that we can still use to make an art. Like Plastics, Cans, Aluminium,does kind of things that we can use to make the Art.

Puppet Show
Hi,
This week we have been making a puppet to make a puppet show. So we have a group of four people and we have to tell how to be healthy everyday. So we practise what we are going to say in our puppet show. My puppet was a dog and my groups puppet were Super Duck, Ninja, Apple. So that is my groups puppet in our practise we have to say something that will keep us healthy and each of us will need to say something to keep healthy. So I was the first one to say something and then my group is next after that we got to start doing our puppet show if you would like to see the video here it is I gope you like it.

Maths DMIC
Hi,
Today in maths we have did a DMIC. Then we have to pick our own groups of 3 after that we have to answer the question we have to pick who gets the most pay in a week so we have to pick on this to questions. For example your 1 friend was working and he get's pay 10 dollars every day and adding 2 more dollars everyday the other one is your 2 friend so everyday he gets pay 1 dollar and gets double each day who will get the most.
So my group has decided what were going to pick so we pick the 2 friend the one that gets pay 1 one dollar. Because he gets pay more everyday and his money gets double everyday so here is how we have solve the problem.
1 friend 2 friend
$10 $ 1
$12 $ 2
$14 $ 4
$16 $ 8
$18 $ 16
$20 $ 32
$22 $ 64

Scones
Hi,
This week in science we made a scones so my group were Charlie, Alex and me. So we made a different types of scones so first we made a normal scones after that we made a second scones that has a milk. After that we made our third scones that has Lemonade. After that we have to wait till it's cook and we got to go and eat the bread.
Aim: To look at different kitchen ingredients in scones and their effects.
1. Collector - Collects ingredients then writes label
2. Mixer - Mixes ingredients
3. Baker - Rolls mixture into scone shape
When one person in the group is doing their role the others will be writing their blog.
Your group will:
- Make 3 types of scone.
- Normal plus 2 others.
- You will make the scone, shape it on your plate, bring it up and place it on the oven tray with a clearly written label. The label must have Group Name and Scone Type.
Scone types:
- No butter
- No Baking Powder
- No milk
- With Lemonade
- With Baking Soda
- Draw up a chart to record your findings
- Make 3 recipes using the following quantities
Recipe:
- 1/2 cup Edmonds standard flour
- 1 tsp Edmonds baking powder or 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp butter
- 1/4 cup milk, approximately or 1/4 cup lemonade.
The recipes my group chose were:
1. Normal
2. Lemonade
3. Milk
The other two recipes were:
1. Name:
Ingredients:
- Milk
- Flour
- baking soda
- butter
2. Name:
Ingredients:
- Lemonade
- Flour
- baking soda
- Butter
1. Measuring spoon
2. Plate
3. Spoon
4. Flour
5. Milk
6. Lemonade
Process
Step 1: Get a measuring spoon
Step 2: Pour the Flour
Step 3: Then Pour the Milk
Step 4: After that put the butter
Step 5: Then mix it all together
Step 6: After that shape it into scone shape
Findings:
TRIAL NUMBER: | COLOUR | TASTE | HEIGHT (CM) |
1. NORMAL | White | Disgusting | 2.9 Cm |
2. Lemonade | White | Disgusting | 3.9 Cm |
3. Milk | White | Disgusting | 4.5 Cm |
Conclusion:
So the normal scones was white and the tastes was disgusting and the height was 2.9 Cm .The second scones has a lemonade and the colour was white the taste was disgusting the height was 3.9 Cm.The third one has a Milk and colour white the taste was disgusting and the height was 4.5.All the scones were cook into 10 minutes and 200 degrees.
