Waihanga Tuhinga: Mōhiti

Waihanga Tuhinga: Mōhiti

Hi my name is George I’m fit for my owner. Fiona she has been wearing me for 50 years. My left eye is cracked but it will get fixed soon. I’m made to help her see but I’m scared that I’m letting her down. Will she get rid of me? She can’t get rid of me. She starting to get other things to help her not just me. Last week she got a hearing ad. R.Right hearing aid the third is very mean to. He mocks me and when Fiona goes to sleep he laughs at me about my cracked eye. He said that Fiona is going to replace me. I go to sleep I woke up to the sound of sing birds. Fiona opened the window. She started singing back, she has a lovely voice. She goes to have a shower I look away. She got dressed  and put on her Rose and Peach perfume. I could smell the it smelled nice. She went down to make breakfast and I heard a rumble from up stairs. Down came Alice, Aaron and their cat Bellatrix. Alice and Aaron are Fiona’s grandchildren. “Good morning Nan” said the children still half asleep. I could see the delicious food she cooked. Scramble eggs, toast, fresh fruit, orange juice and spaghetti. Then the kids eyes lit up they sat down and dug right in. Even Bella had a delicious breakfast well to he add,jbbdmaf badfbbkkdabfr. Fish guts and mice “did you wash your hands nan?” said Alice. “Yes of course I did” said Fiona. It was 12:30 and Fiona and the children went to the park. I looked around there was a lot of people. When a child roller skating bump Fiona. I fell to the ground “sorry miss” said the child as he roller skated away. A English Bulldog later than picked me up. The owner picked out of its mouth. Oh the owner was a kind old man with sparkling grey eyes. He looked around for a bit and saw Fiona. He walked over and gave me to Fiona. “Thank you very much” said Fiona with a smile that could light up a room. “I’m Johnson-a- Frank Johnson” said the Frank. “I’m Fiona, Fiona Fergerson” they both smiled at each other. “Nan, nan can get ice-cream?” said the kids. “OK would like to join us Frank?” Said Fiona. “Ah sure” he replied “Let’s go your mums picking you up in a hour”. Said Fiona. They walked to the Dairy and got ice-cream and Frank and Fiona got black liquorice “yuck” said the kids. “Black liquorice is yuck!” yelled the kids. Bella shock her head. Fiona took the kids home and Frank said thank and gave Fiona his number. He walked away shortly after the kids and Bella left with their mum. For dinner Fiona cooked Ramen noodles the steam went in my eyes. When I heard a knock knock. I was curious to see who was there, but R.Right hearing aid was asleep. Then he woke up, Fiona walked to the door and it was Frank. He walked in they both ate dinner together. That was a good night I thought. But that was last year today Fiona and Frank and getting married. Fiona put on her makeup and we went to the wedding. Fiona was crying as she walked to Frank. She started to cry. After that they took the wedding photos and I was in them. Now I know that Fiona would never replace me. R.Right hearing aid was wrong.

Art

Learning outcomes:
So far we have looked at and understood:
  1. Pencil sketching of bodies in proportion   
  2. History of American superhero comic books
  3. Pencil shading
  4. What is a workbook page
  5. The Treaty of Waitangi
  6. Robyn Kahukiwa
  7. Kowhaiwhai

PK = Practical knowledge UC = Understanding content
Evidence - what worked-what didn’t work?

Greek Warrior Sketch of super hero.
What was hard about this drawing was try It was easy to do this
to get the body shape and gear. It was fun I was just doing what
doing the shading it was the best part. I wanted. It's just a sketch.

Lighting your hands


Lighting Your Hands

Aim: To listen to the teachers instructions while using safe practice in the science lab.


Hypothesis: There will be flames coming from your hands.

Equipment: 

Bunsen burner tube
Image result for Bunsen burner tube
Gas
Image result for gas
Detergent
Image result for Detergent
Water
Image result for Water small picture
Method:
  1. Put some water into a container and squirt in some detergent.
  2. Connect the gas hose to the taps and make gas bubbles in the water.
  3. Rub cold water on your hands, wrist and up to your eyebrows.
  4. Scoop up the bubbles in the container into the palm of your cupped hands.
  5. Stand with your hands reaching out in front of you, with your palms and bubble facing up. 
  6. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
Safety: If you want to stop the fire you can open your palms and drop the fire to the floor. 

Results: The hands of the person burst into flames without burning their hands.  

Discussion: The gas in the bubbles burned.

Conclusion: So my conclusion is that when the detergent came in contact with the bubbles, the bubbles turned into flames. When you separate your hands the flames degenerate into the air.
