Te Whare Tapa Wha - (Health)

In Health we designed and created our own Hauora Box.
On each wall of my Hauora box I wrote the four dimensions representing our well - being.
Each wall has its own dimension - Spiritual, Physical, Mental / Emotional and Social. The maori
words are - Taha Wairua, Taha Tinana, Taha Hinengaro and Taha Whanau. The words listed
under the main words showing what each wall represents are the keywords. The keywords are
words that relate to the dimension that it's in. 

If you look at a house with four walls like this Hauora box. If one of the walls was collapsing
or weak it wouldn't be able to hold the house or the roof for long. But if all four walls are strong
the house would stay up and won't end up collapsing to the ground. If your physical well being
was weak like you aren’t exercising or taking care of your body. That can in someway affect your
other three dimensions. It could affect the way you think or feel. 

Sometimes even one small incident can bring down all four of your walls.
Like you could have an argument with a family member and you have all these negative
emotions and feelings. So then you don’t feel like doing anything like exercise or going for a little walk.
Then you don’t want to talk to anyone like family because of your anger or emotions you are feeling. 

To fix each wall  you can work on one wall at a time or build on it. If you got into an argument with
someone that is family.  You could start with your Social well-being by talking to them about what
had happened and maybe hug it out. Or you could apologise if you think you need to. Once you're
like friends and have sorted out what ever happened you could go to the gym or go for a walk.
Doing fitness can help with things like stress relief or help you to feel better. Things like that
can also help your physical well-being.

Who dunnit?

Who DUNNIT?

In Room 4 we are solving a crime, someone had broken into a house with rare valuables lying around and shattered a window to get in. We had discovered little bits of cloth that was covered in what it looked like blood next to a broken window. We then had a look at the blooded cloth under a microscope and we found out that the red stuff on the cloth was actually blood. Looking at the CCTV footage there were at least 4 suspects so we decided to take a blood sample from each of them.

Each suspect had to take a blood test because we knew we had to find A+. Suspect 1 blood was A B+, suspect 2 blood was B and suspect 4 blood was 0. But looking at suspect 3 blood was different because their results were A+. We knew this because the blood on the ripped material turned out to be A+ so we were trying to find out what suspect blood is A+.






Task Description ~ This task was for Genomics and we had to actually find the suspect using chemicals but the blood wasn't real but we just called it Blood. Just a small group of us finished finding the suspect because the whole class couldn't handle it.

Six-Sentence Story (3 little pigs)

Six-sentence story
Walt - Create a narrative.
Sentence 1: Begins with ‘Once Upon a Time’ and introduces the main character
Sentence 2: Describes where the character lived
Sentence 3: Describes where the character’s special talent
Sentence 4: Describes the character’s problem
Sentence 5: Tells why the character felt that way
Sentence 6: Tells how the character solved the problem

Once Upon a Time, lived three chunky pigs.  They lived in a thick green, remote forest. The three of them were able to craft little huts out of three different materials - sticks, hay and bricks. Unfortunately nearby lived a dreadful, hungry wolf. Every time the dreadful wolf visited, he would huff and puff and blow down the two houses that were made out of sticks and hay by two of the pigs. So the two pigs bolted away to help their other brother build a brick home so the three of them would be safe from the big bad wolf.
Task Description: My task was to create a 6 sentence story. I chose to retell the 3 little pigs in my own way and in my own words. 

Fair Trade!

Task Description: This week for math we were put into 5 groups of 4-5. Each 
group were a country and we each had made up names for our country
from our teacher Mrs Stone. Each group had 5 things Coffee, Gold, Oil, Lumber and 
Electronics. Well the whole point of this was we were playing a little trading game where we 
could trade the items we had with the other groups to hopefully make profit. The aim of this game
was to become the wealthiest country out of the other 4 country's.

Genomics, 11-11-19 lll smallest to LARGEST

Walt - Place organisms on a continuum. 













Task description - Today in Genomics/Science we were placing living organisms from smallest to largest on the blue line. We also had to think about what animals were the smallest and animals that were the largest.

Looking at onion cells through a microscope (experiment

Aim: (On a slide are we able to see a clear picture of onion cells through a microscope)

Hypothesis: I think we will be able to see a clear picture of the onion cell at a magnification of 10x

Equipment: 

• 1 onion
• 1 Slide
• 1 Cover Slip
• Tweezers
• Blue Stain

Method: The first thing we had to do was get our slide. We then had to peel off a thin layer of onion skin. Then we carefully placed the thin layer of onion skin on the slide and made it flat so there were no lumps. Just to make sure we put 1 drop of saline on top of the thin layer of onion. So that we could see the onion cells on the slide through the microscope we put 1 drop of blue dye on the saline so it would be easier for us to see the onion cells

Observation/Conclusion: After adjusting the microscope so we can see the onion cells clearly. We finally got to see what onion cells look like. From what I could see they were very detailed like lots lines connected to each other in some way, in between the lines were dark purple dots but I think the funny looking dots were just the purple dye that we had applied on top of the saline or it was part of the onion cell but the dye had covered it

Task Description- Today we got to do a little experiment. But before attempting the actual experiment, Mrs Stone told us to create a new document so we can write down our Aim on what were gonna attempt or see if what we're gonna do is gonna work. I also had to write down my hypothesis and equipment to make this experiment work. After attempting the experiment as you can see I wrote the method so you know how I made this experiment work. Lastly I wrote my observation or conclusion to show you what my results were overall.
