Acrostic poem

WALHT: write an acrostic poem in detail.

Making a bubble inside a bubble

Equipment:

• Plastic container
• 150ml soap solution; water, detergent and sugar
• Straw
• Flat surface (preferably a table)

Instructions:

1. Dip your hand into the solution and wipe it against the table.
2. Soak the end of the straw into the solution and blow a bubble to an appropriate size.
3. Immediately dip the end of the straw into the solution again and slowly adjusting your straw into the middle of the bubble and blowing another one
4. Repeat this step until you get the amount of bubbles you can blow.

Hypothesis:

I believed that it was possible to create a bubble inside a bubble and accomplished layers of seven.

Conclusion:

Creating a bubble inside a bubble is a temporary and a permanent experiment as the bubble doesn’t last a long period of time. However, this concludes that you are not able to get the various layers of bubbles back.

Making bubbles

It was Thursday the fourth of May, breeze whistled through the air, the room 8 students were on their way for the first day of Term 2 for Technicraft. This Term our topic in Tech (short for Technicraft) was Science. We were learning about Bubbles, Froth and Foam, which relates to one topic.

As I entered the classroom a gast of heat wave bursted onto my face, the cold breeze liberated my body. We sat on our designated seats and what a surprise, the boys were separated from the girls. We were given 2 pieces of paper to record the reaction on our experiment. Our group begun with the experiment of investigating the comparison between blowing bubbles with soap and without. The difference was a complete opposite as the first experiment (without soap) appeared with bubbles in seconds. On the other hand, the second experiment (with soap) created a heap of bubbles almost overfilling the beaker. It was a learning experience at Tech and hopefully we would have a great time next week.

Volunteering in the Panmure

WALHT write a descriptive writing.

It was Monday the 24th of April, my cousin (Jane) and I volunteered at the Panmure Library as a sign for our St John cadet community service.

“Ring, ring, ring ring”. Out of nowhere a loud and obnoxious sound came buzzing in and through my ear. I woke up in shock as if a loud marching band came right past my room intentionally to wake me up. I looked down my bunk and saw Jane who slept past the deafening sound of the alarm clock.

Looking at the time it was 8:30am which gave us 30 minutes to get ourselves ready.

15 minutes past and we both were still on our life grabbing devices until we realised that we only had 15 minutes left to hold. Rushing through the hallway we ate our breakfast in a world record of time, then rapidly wore new clothes and brushed our teeth with moments of time passing we were out our door and on our way to the Library. The hot humid sun glazed upon our eyes and melted our feet that held us back miles away from our destination, each step I took the sun beated against my chest.

The glaze of the Library filled us with joy , we raced to the door and the second we stepped inside the Library freshened our body and spirit by the penetrating breeze from various air-cons surrounding the Library. We rushed to the counter and politely asked for a task to do and in a blink of an eye, the Librarian speechless bursted with words and immediately informed us our task. We were asked to cut out a variety of shapes from coloured paper for the holiday program (making robots).   Squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, stars, trapezoids and shapes made by our own imagination were made by numerous colours.

One hour of crafting dragged like watching grass grow, the last piece of paper was shaped into a triangle (we were permanently done). As we told the Librarian we were finished with our task, two pieces of red velvet cake were held up given to us, our mouths dropped down to the earth’s core. We thanked her with all our heart and soul. We delicately packed the cake into our bag as if it was worth $1000 and walked out the Library with pride (feeling satisfied after the good deed we accomplished especially the cake we were given). The sliding door opened and a gast of heat wave rushed through our bodies, our satisfaction flipped into a body collapsing mood.

Doing a good deed in the Library felt great and next time doing more than one would be the biggest goal I’ve ever accomplished and hopefully you would too.

Fish

Many children have household pets whether they’re large or small. Whether it’s aquatic or non aquatic. All pets have a unique style and talent especially fish.

There are over 25,000 species of fish in the world and almost 150 species are endangered. These type of pets are cold blooded like reptiles and amphibians as they are l their body temperature. Some fish live in salt water, such as halibut and cod.

Forty percent of fish species have fresh water as a habitat. However, less than .01% in the world is fresh water. Most people of the world own a tropical fish as they are one of the most common species of fish. Unlike freshwater fish, tropical fish need a precise temperature of water. The suitable temperature would be 22℃ or lower, as having the opposite temperature slows their system down and can lead to severe stress.This can make them vulnerable to illness and other health issues.

Like humans all fish have a vertebrae, this helps them move through the water with ease. All fish have a specialised sense organ called the lateral line which works like night goggles that help then navigate in the dark or mucky water. Fish have an out stand mark of sense, touch, smell and ‘hearing’. Fish feel the same pain and suffer stress just like mammals and birds.

All animals are unique in their own ways whether they're big or small. However fish would be the best type of pet as they would never run away from you.

Walht: identify how Christians celebrate Holy Week.

Holy Week is a sacred and solemn week for Christians. Through their Liturgical celebrations - people walk with Jesus and each of the events that he suffered. This Liturgy draws us together, us followers of Christ. We are drawn as Te Whanau a Te Karaiti into these events (Stations of the Cross) As if each one of us were actually there. BY being part of activities such as ‘Stations of the Cross’ we are sharing part of the life and love that Jesus himself gives us at this time.

Holy Thursday

Jesus and his friends gathered together for what we now know was the ‘Last Supper’. Jesus gives himself to all those who are gathered in the last supper including his friends, he gives himself in the Eucharist, he tells them, “Do this in memory in me”. He gives his love, aroha in service modeled by the washing of the feet. He tells them, “Follow this example of loving service to serve others, manaakitanga

Good Friday

Jesus gives his life in love on the cross, he gives Mary to John as his mother. He forgives all those who have sinned against him for their sins. He ‘Reconciles’ them with God (He’s asking God not only to forgive him but to forgive the others who has sinned against him). He gives the gift of passing through death to life with God.
