Carr value bookmark task

Carr value bookmark task

Hi readers, today I am going to be showing you the task I did today.
I chose a task from a document the teachers have put on our class site, for this task I had to create a bookmark on a google drawing and made it a D.L.O.

With the bookmark we choose a value from our values "carr"

C - commitment 

A - achievement

R - resilience

R - respect

I chose to do respect because I thought it would be easier but the last one made my brain hurt a bit trying to think of it.

Hi readers, as you may know New Zealand is in isolation so people are working from home and getting work to do.

So today I will be showing you 1 of the tasks I did this morning.

Once we have finished the slide we would have to make a D.L.O.
On the last slide it says what I need to do to the D.L.O.
And me and a friend worked together on this. 

Here is the slide:

And here is the D.L.O

I would like to know if you got the questions I have put up right and how you did it. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my post, if you have any feedback or positive comments, please leave them in the comments.

Sentence starters #2

Sentence starters #2

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the Sentence starters we have been doing in hurumanu 3.
We are doing a 2nd blog about this because we have got another sentence starter we need to post as well as the last ones we did.

A short sentence is a sentence with 5 or less words in it.

Here are mine:

(New) Very short sentence:

The biltong was too salty.

Our seed started to sprout.

W-start:
When the biltong was ready, the people ate it and gave feedback if they got the wrong one.
While we waited for the biltong to be ready, we wrote about it in a document and posted it on our blog.

Adverb start:
Excitingly, The seedlings are starting to sprout.

Lightly, we planted them in a big wooden box with dirt in it.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post, if you have any feedback or positive comment please leave them in the comments.

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the w-start and adverb starts we did today in Hurumanu3.

Here are some samples:

W-start:
When the wind blew, our paper flew away.
While the cat slept, we went outside to play with the bunny.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing some answers from the second sheet we need to blog about on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We got given questions then we had to answer them on a sheet, after we did all the answers that we could we had to blog about them without saying the question, just writing about them.
Here is a (link) for you to watch.

In 1830's the population went down from around 100,000 thousand to 80,000 - 70,000.

2 reasons the population went down lower was mainly from war and diseases.

The name of the main settlement was Russell Kororareka.

The rangatira and missionaries were unhappy about what was happening in their town. (British taking over eg. Partying, unfair trades, prostituting etc.)

The British saw France as a treat because the British were colonising New Zealand.

Around 500 chiefs from the rangatira signed the treaty.

A problem the way the treaty was written was the translation for the Maori.

In Maori Tino Rangatiratanga is having your own way.

Sovereignty means the government of England.

 Kawanatanga is another word for government.

 Hone Heke cut down 3 North flags just to show his frustration for what was happening in the north.

The Maori made trenches to beat the British in the wars.

Why its better to drink water.

Why its better to drink water.

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing the D.L.O me and my friend Teagen did.
We had to do this in our Hurumanu: Healthy lifestyles.
What we had to do was, Get a sheet of paper with different drinks on them like energy drinks, fizzy, milk, orange juice, etc.
They had the amount of sugar that goes into them on the side of each 1, then we got given a cup and a few small bags.
We had to fill the bags up with the amount of teaspoons of sugar they had on the side and put the bag on them.

After we finished with that we had to make a D.L.O on why it is better to drink water and not energy drinks or anything like that.

Here is mine and Teagens D.LO:

I hope you learnt something

Making Biltong Beef Jerky

Making Biltong Beef jerky

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the science beef jerky work we have been doing.
We had to fill out a google doc and put information in it.

We only got to the method part and if we had spare time we could do bonus questions we get given by the teacher.

I finished them both but not the full thing so the green highlighted parts is what we didn't get to finish.

Here is mine.

Google drawings - bonus questions

Making Biltong (Beef Jerky)

Aim:  

To preserve meat using salt.

Hypothesis:  

I think the salt will (Give it more flavour or make it juicier) 

Justification:  

It moisturises the meat and makes it last longer.

Method:  

Materials

•  Pen
• Paper towel
• Beef jerky
• Salt
• Fishing line type of string

Instructions

1. Get a paper towel then put the beef jerky on it.
2. Put 2 teaspoons of salt on it.
3. Put your name on the paper towel.
4. Take it off the paper towel.
5. Hang it on the string.
6. Wait for it to dry.

Results:  

Observations

•  Because it wasn’t mine I didn’t want to try it so I gave a piece to the teacher and one of my friends the teacher said it wa too salty and my friend said just a little bit less salt.
• The biltong looks brown and weird because the corners curled over.
• It smells like dog treats… 🙃 🐶🥩

Conclusion:  

• What was the Aim?   My aim was to preserve meat using salt.

• What did your results mean?  

• Was your Hypothesis correct?  No I don’t think so because the feedback I got said it was just “too salty” and I asked them if it made the beef juicer.
• Were there any anomalies (unexpected results)? Yes, I thought I would get the 1 I made and not another persons, but still I got feedback from it to do my writing.


• What could have caused them? The way the person wrote the order of peoples beef jerky in her book.


• How could you change the experiment to fix these problems? Everyone gets a Little piece of baking paper to put their name on it then put it With the beef jerky so we know who’s is who’s.


• Did any interesting questions arise from doing the experiment?
Not that I know of.


• What sort of experiments could you follow-up with?
Now we’re doing the growing plants science experiment.
