Mask (Drama)

Kia Ora Readers,

On Friday the class had to do a performance and use the mask that we made.

I wasn't there to perform but I was there on some of the other days to make half of my mask.

Here is the mask I was meant to finish and it is called Freddy from Five Nights at Freddys.

 But it was meant to be made out of metal not this type of material.

I will now show some of the pictures of my group dancing which I wasn't there for.

Thank you for reading my blog have a nice day.

Sleeping and exercise teenagers

 Kia ora readers,

Today we are doing health and we are learning about unhealthy and healthy food.   vbb

• Healthy food for teenagers are salad and a fruit smoothie.
• Unhealthy food for teenagers are pizza and others and also fizzy.

How much do we have to sleep and why?

We have to sleep for 8 hours or more why? because healthy sleeping is good for you and your brain recharges, you'll also have alot of energy.

150 minutes every day and every ten minute counts.

Thank you for reading/looking at my blog and have a good day.

2021-2022 (New Students)

 Kia Ora Readers,

The first day I came to this school I was quite nervous until I met my friends, they were nice enough to invite me to their friend group. I met most of my friends in PE and now that I got to know them we came really close. 

This year has been pretty fun my favourite classes and experients are when I got to make food with my group and I. I also loved drama because the whole class got to do some fun activites and performances with their groups. 

Most people love the last week of school cause they say that they have fun trips, but sometimes it could get cancelled cause of viruses or others. If they don't get cancelled the trips continues and only year 7, 8 and 9 get to go on the trips. (Well thats what the students here say but I'm not 100% about it)

I am encouraging students from different schools that are coming to Hornby High School to participate in  the activites that the teachers have planned for them. When you come students from Hornby High will welcome you or not but they most likely will.

I really hope you like this school and this is the end of my blog, have a wonderful day.

Math (Multiplication and Subtraction)

 Kia Ora Readers/People, 

Since lockdown has started we have been well some of us have been doing some school work while the schools and works well some works are in lockdown.

So lately I have been doing some school work but mostly my math and we are doing mulitiplacation and subtraction. Here is an example of Addition and Subtraction (DLO)

Like 219 then you add up the digits at the end of the number and 9+2=11 so then you put a the 

     +382

last digit of the 11 and put it on top of the 1 and 8 then you add those digits and include the 1.

So it's 8+1+1=10 so then you put the 1 on top of the two front digits and add them up and again include the 1, 2+3+1=6 then there you go your answer to the question, it is 601 that’s the answer.

So that was an Example of what a Addition Column is now i will show you an example of what a Subtraction Column is.

So the Subtraction Column is just like the Addition Column but you have to subtract the number.

Here is an example of it. So we are going to do the same thing as the Addition Column but subtract the number. 89 so you may know the answer to this but by using subtraction column it 

                                 -57

might make math easier for you. So first off like the addition one you start off at the back and right here it says 9-7 so you subtract those two numbers and you’ll get your answer for 9-7 and it equals 2 now to the next row of digits 8-5= and you do the same as the first digits. You subtract the numbers and you’ll get your answer which is 3 then add the numbers together (the 3 and 2 but the 3 at the front and the 2 next to it) then there you go that's the answer to the question aka 32 here's my DLO.

Thank you for reading/looking at my blog and have wonderful day.

                                                                                   

Math (Decimals)

 Kia Ora People,

So this week and last week we have been doing some math about decimals and place numbers we have been putting the decimals in places on the number chart. 

For our decimals we were doing decimals like addition decimals and subtraction decimals.

We've also been doing some manga high that the teacher has set for us.

Thank you for reading/looking at my blog and have a good day every day :)

Yeast (Science)

 Kia Ora Readers,

Yeast definition-Fungi

Yeast has been used for hundreds of years.

Yeast needs to be woken up from hibernation state.

Yeast is all around us its not just in a packet.

~ginger beer recipe~

      ~for 1 litre~

bowl 

beaker 

cloth sleve

funnel

plastic bottle

Materials

Bug (for a group of 4)

• 50ml warm water 
• 1/2 tsp active dried yeast 
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger 

Ginger beer (for 1 litre)

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1L cold water
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp ginger beer bug

Method 

1. In a large bowl, put the sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm water.
2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water.
3. Add the ginger beer bug to the large bowl of cold water.
4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle.
5. Label your bottle with your group names.
6. Place all the bottles in the class container.
7. Store in a cool, dark place for one week before drinking.
8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape.

Pepper (Science)

Kia Ora people, 

So today we are learning about pepper and we are gonna research about pepper.

A small hot-tasting pod of a variety of capsicum, used in sauces, relishes, and spice powders. There are various forms with pods of differing size, colour, and strength of flavour.

    Dragons breath pepper

 Ghost pepper 

 Carolina Reaper 

Here is a photo of peppers and the hottest pepper in the world is a Carolina Reaper but i think that is wrong because it said Dragons breath pepper is hotter than Carolina Reaper.

Also apparently if you eat a pepper and rub your eye you might go blind.

Top 6 hottest pepper:

• Carolina Reaper (From South Carolina)
• Trinidad Moruga (From Trinidad and Trobago)
• 7 Pot Douglah (From Trinidad)
• 7 Pot Primo (From Louisiana)
• Trinidad Scorpion (From Trinidad and Trobago)
• Naga Viper (From England)
• Ghost Pepper (From Northeast India)

To see which is the best to cool down the hot chillie taste in your mouth when eating chilli. I think that by using milk sour cram and other dairy products I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from my mouth.

Equipment: 

1. Milk 

2. Water

3. Coca Cola 

4. Tasting cup

5. Chilli

Summary and Resaults:

Milk had a small effect on the chilli. After 3 minutes it took the whole taste away. 

Coke had a small effect on the chilli. Coke worked well after 3 minutes and removed the taste totally.

Water did not remove the chilli taste at all. After 3 minutes it removed the taste slightly.

MIlk would be the most effective drink to use with spicy, chilli foods.

 Conclusion

And milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods - literally. That's because milks helps your mouth handle capsaicin, and oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. Capsaicin blinds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. ...Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.

CARR Values #2

 KIA ORA HUMANS,

Hello humans today I am gonna show you my work about my schools values well what its about.

Here is what Commitment, Achievement, Resilience and Respect.

Commitment	Achievement	Resilience	Respect
I arrive on time to class.  I bring all my equipment to class including my pencil case, books and charged device. I bring my P.E gear on days when I have P.E or sport.  I have a positive attitude.	I complete work to the best of my abilities.  I set high goals for my learning.  I don’t settle for the easy pass, I put in the effort.  I accept feedback and use it to improve.	I try new things, even when I'm not sure I will succeed.  I ask for feedback to improve my work.  I ask for help when I get stuck.  I treat mistakes as an opportunity to improve.	I look after the equipment in the classroom.  I don’t distract others from their learning.  I use a murmur voice when I am working.  I listen to the ideas that are shared in class, even if I don’t agree with them.

  So if you come to HHS make sure you follow the CARR values i'm not forcing.

Thank you for reading/seeing my blog post comment under my blog if you want to and have a lovely day.
