Milk Investagation

Yesterday we did a Milk Investigation. We had to predict if the Milk will freeze. We used 3 different types of Milk. Which were Condensed Milk, Light Blue Milk and Up and Go. Here are some pictures:-)

25.06.14 CHILLY MILK EXPERIMENT:

Milk Investigation :

Words -

*Changes

*Solid

*Chemical

*Liquid

*Physical

(Trying to understand the concept of change)

You can change Milk Powder (something solid)

into liquid milk.

Solid Define: Firm, Stable in Shape. Which can be formed

into liquid.

Help: Water , Milk and Dice. Personally I think that it changes by the size.

Meaning: Liquid: Not Stable or Fluid

When the liquid is poured into a solid object it changes it’s physical appearance.

Our Result

The Condensed Milk didn't freeze, because it doesn't contain water.  Without water Milk cannot freeze. The  Light blue milk and the Up and Go did freeze. This indicated that Milk contains Water.

PADLET :

PURPOSE:   TO OBSERVE AND RECORD THE CHANGES WHEN DIFFERENT MILK IS PUT IN THE FREEZER.

WHAT YOU NEED: a selection of 3 different type of milk

clear container

WHAT TO DO: Put  an equal volume of each type of milk in a clear container

Place each container in the freezer

Record what happens to each type of milk as it freezes.  Note its colour, texture and shape.

Record the time it takes to each variety to freeze.

Type of milk	What it looked like once it had frozen	Time taken to freeze
Condensed Milk	It didn't freeze, because Condensed Milk doesn't contain water.
Light Blue Milk	The Light Blue Milk did freeze, because it contains water. It contained the most ice.
Up and Go	Up and Go contains alot of ingredients. It did freeze. It had a chocolate colour.

20.06.24 My From Mrs Pole Farewell

Today was very Emotional, Touching, and Moving day.  We have to farewell  Mrs Pole.

We have a whole school Mass. There were lot of people in the Church. Most of them were Ex students, Parents, Families and the School. The mass went really well. Luckily nobody shed tears.  

The most important part from the mass, for me was when the Presentation was presented. There were alot of sweet words spoken about Mrs Pole.

It was very cool when the Year groups (that Mrs Pole taught) all spoke about Mrs Pole.

Farewell Mrs Pole

Dear Mrs Pole....

Thank you everything you've done for our school. You are probably the most Loving, Generous and Helpful teacher I've ever met. 

Here is a few words in Samoan..

Mrs Pole

Ia Avea au fai ma sui aoga St Pius, E momoli atu matou fa'afetai tele. I tausaga sa e faiaoga ia te'i matou.

Ia fa'amanuia tele le atua 

ia te oe

Soifua ma ia manuia:-)

Love you always Mrs Pole:-)

Reading Activity : On Frog Pond :-)

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the pond . All sorts of pond animals are waking up.A busy day is beginning.     At the edge of the pond, a little green frog sits on a  in the water. He is hidden here among the  floating plants. He keeps very still and very quiet. His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching for dragonflies. He's watching for slugs and worms. He's looking for flies. This little frog is hungry for insects.     Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums softly above the water. She is a fierce hunter,hungry for insects. She hovers near a clump of insects . She can fly in any direction, even backwards and  sideways. Like the frog, she has very big ears . Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a tree. She swoops down like an arrow and grabs the  fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it tightly , she munches away at it with her sharp teeth  parts.     The little frog has seen all this before . He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce, But he keeps very still. He hopes that the insect will take off towards him when she's finished hunting. He hopes she won't notice him sitting still on the  green grass among the pondweed. Soon she flies away.

Personally I think that this activity was a tricky one.

All the words highlighted in Yellow is my answers.

09.06.14 Expressive Writing

I'm going to write about my experience in Samoa, The first time I went to the Beach. I hope you enjoy it.

Words:
Water , Cold, Sand, Nice, Tropic, Paradise..

An average day in Samoa, Hot air and  a wild climate.

 The sun was boiling, It drenched me with  sweat. I was  dying to get into the icy, chilled water. Finally I get  into the crisp water.

All of that sweat has been removed by the shivering water. It’s like I can breath now.  The icy cold water removed all my pain. As we walk out, the hot thick air arrives.

The paradise ends, The wind gets colder.

Because of that Cold, Icy water.

As I think of the memories I had with my family, I startle and think about the beach.Such Memories:-)

06.06.14 What’s the Main Idea of The Hunger Games Mockingjay

I’ve just starting reading the book, but I have a understanding of what’s going. I’ve watched Catching Fire and I have a fair understanding from it. The book talked about how District 12 was destroyed, because of what Katniss did. During the 75th Hunger Games  Katniss Everdeen destroyed the arena.

I know it’s gonna get much deeper into the book.

My Writing Prompt: Describe one time when you were brave.

Personally I think that alot of people go through alot each day. To get through does things you have to be brave. Whether you're going to a interview, or even saying a speech. The most important key, is to be Brave.

There was this one time last year, I didn’t know how to ride a bike. We went for a ride around the park and I finally found my balance, until something happened. I was going really fast until I crashed in a rock. I felt really, really numb and sore. I have a scar under my eye and above it.  I knew I had to be brave. So now I’ve learnt from my mistakes.

06.06.14 Writing Prompts

Here is my Writing Prompt : Imagine you were a wonderful painter and your parents would let you paint anything you wanted on your bedroom walls. What would you paint? Use lots of details to describe your artwork.

If I were a artist I would express myself onto the wall. Like for example ; If I were to love dancing so much I would paint things that relate to that. In other words I would express my life into painting.

I would paint flowers and things that represent me. In general I’m half Samoan half Niuean. I would paint there flags. I love butterflies and Flamingoes so I would paint those. All main colour of the wall would be Pink to represent my gender. The butterflies to represent the world around me, and the Flags to represent my culture.

Here are all the features or things I would paint in my room.

New Zealand

New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country that is made up of two major islands called the North Island and the South Island.  It is situated in the South Pacific. The capital city is Wellington but the largest city is Auckland.

Most people in New Zealand speak English but the Maori language is also spoken there by about 4% of the population. After the Second World War, Maori were discouraged to speak their language but in 1987 their language was declared as official language too. Many places now have dual Maori and English names.

Maori were the first people who came to New Zealand from Polynesia. New Zealand was first discovered by Europeans in 1642 when Dutch sailor Abel Tasman arrived. He left New Zealand because several members of his crew were killed by Maoris. Then in 1769 English Captain James Cook arrived and mapped the land.

Queen Elizabeth II is officially Queen of New Zealand. She is represented in New Zealand by a Governor General. New Zealand is a country that has two official anthems: “God save the Queen” and “God defend New Zealand”.

In New Zealand there are many unique species of animals. Some of them cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The reason for this that New Zealand was cut off from the rest of the land on Earth for 80 million years.

The oldest living kind of reptile is the native New Zealand Tuatara. Tuataras can live up to 300 years. It is estimated that Tuataras can be traced back 190 million years to the Mesozoic era.

Another native bird of New Zealand (the Moa) was one of the largest birds in history – that was up to 3.6m tall and weighed about 300kg. They don´t live anymore because they were hunted by the Maoris.  New Zealand's national symbol is a nocturnal flightless bird that is called the kiwi. The weta is the largest and heaviest insect in the world.

The term ‘Kiwi’ is also used as a nickname for a New Zealander.
