10 Art - Michael Mew Art

 In art we have been looking at collage art specifically made by Michael Mew.

45 Michael Mew ideas | collage art, mixed media art journaling, art  inspiration

We first started cutting out and arranging different things from magazines.

Until I came up with an arrangement that I liked.

I then came up with thumbnail sketches to come up with different framing to draw.

This is my finished product. Over the arrangement I put a yellow line with the word caution on it. I did this to make it look like caution tape. The leading lines are the man and the women standing together; this is emphasize by the phone and the caution tape. It is made to make the eye look at the yellow then look up to the people.

10 Science - Neutralisation

 Neutralisation


Aim: To observe a neutralisation reaction.


Method: 

  1. Get a test tube rack, 6 test tubes, acid, base and universal indicator.

  2. Fill 4 test tubes with 3mL of acid.

  3. Fill 2 test tubes with 3mL of base.

  4. Add a squirt of universal indicator to each.

  5. Add different amounts of acid and base to make the colours of the rainbow (ROYGBI)


Results: 





Discussion: 

We started with 4 red test tubes and 2 blue test tubes, but by the end of the experiment we ended up with  colours of the rainbow (ROYGBI). We did this by neutralizing some of the acid by adding base into it to make orange, yellow, and green. For the 1 of the base we add acid to make it a lighter shade of blue. 


Conclusion:

This experiment did work because we were able to neutralise the acids and bases to make the colours of the rainbow.

10 English - Genocide

Genocide 



In English we started reading about more information about the holocaust, the Nazi party and concentration camps where Jewish people were held. 


Genocide is the act of mass killing of a group of people that belong to one particular race, religion, or ethnic group. When Adolf Hitler rose to power in the Nazi party, the Nazi party performed genocide on Jewish people. They killed millions of Jewish people between 1941 and 1945. Although genocide is target at one individual but rather a group of individuals, individual people can be victims of genocide.

10 Social Studies - Parihaka


Parihaka


On the 5 of November 1881 crown troops stormed the Taranaki settlement of Parihaka. They took the men to prison without trial, rape and molested the leftover women and children. Parihaka was a peaceful protest lead by Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi.


People even to this day are affected by what happened at Parihaka. Only recently the government and the crown apologized for what happened at Parihaka.


In the song ‘Parihaka’ by Tim Finn & the Herbs they speak about Parihaka, its effects on the people and how we will remember what happened at Parihaka.
