2011 Earthquake
Hi,
In Hurumanu 1 we are learning about the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. What we did was a watch an hour clip to learn about the 2011 earthquake we watch it to get some ideas of what happened and what the places in Christchurch looks like before the earthquake happened. Then we have to summarise the clip that we had watch here is the summary that I have done.
In the 2011 Christchurch earthquake a lot of people died especially in the city of Christchurch lots of buildings were destroyed and families broken. Homes of people were also destroyed by a big flood of liquefaction,homes were full of mud and they couldn't use these anymore so they had to move out of their house. Some people used their garage to sleep in because their house was broken and some people used tents and slept outside their homes, outside in the middle of the cold night. A lot of people also survived the earthquake but they were injured and bleeding, a lot people were also terrified. The people with businesses helped people and gave food around the neighbour hood.
People who helped in the earthquake were the Firefighters, Taiwanese rescuers, Student Army, Japanese search and rescue, Navy and the NZ Military they all helped together to rescue the people that are in needs. They also helped to rebuild the city of Christchurch. There was also a problem because some of the Hospital were broken because of the earthquake. The rest home place also helped a lot of people.

Making A Mars Rover
Hi,
In Hurumanu 3 science we tried making a Mars Rover using pastas and Round mints. So what we had to do first was to plan what would the mars rover would look like before we actually make it we draw it on a piece of paper and draw some ideas for the rover. After a few minutes we started making the rover then we put the parts together with my group. We used glues to put the parts together and stick it the challenge to us was to make the wheels move it took us a lot of time to think of how the wheels is going to move. The last part that we had done was do the challenge was trying the car and putting it on the 1m down ramp it didn't work quite right because the wheels broke here is some of the photos that was taken during the making of the rover.

Earthquake
Hi,
In Hurumanu 1 we searched about the 2011 Earthquake that happened in Christchurch. What we have to do is pick some places in Christchurch and research about the earthquake and what is looked like before and what it looks like after. We did this activity in a site called Book Creator we have to choose 3 places that we wanted to research about here is what I have done.

Making a Compass
Hi,
In Hurumanu 3 we made our own compass using water and an ice cream container, a small leaf and a tiny pin. We use those things to make a compass so we started of with stroking the tiny pin on the side of the magnet to about 3 minutes and it would be sticking on the magnet. After that we have to put a water on our ice cream container about 2 cm high from the container then put the small leaf at the top of the water and let it float on top. Then put the pin at the top of the leaf and wait for it to stop moving and you find which way is North that is how we made a compass using simple things here is a photo of the experiment.
