Seed Planting - Day 3

 Today the class and I are doing a science Planting Project our task is to get into 2 partners and with your  we are finding out the best condition for growing a seed/plant, we are doing an experiment, the first start of an experiment is that you do a prediction. Im predicting that we will start to see signs in week 1 day 6 of the procedure, Aurora is predicting that she will see signs on day 5 Week 1.

Our seed is soaked with the paper towels , we have 3 paper towels placed in our fiberglass. Our seed has 100 ml of water, the paper towels and water are equal. Our seeds will be planted out in the “Direct sunlight”.

Today is only day 3 and so far we see the seed expanding, the color fading and the water soaked up into the Paper Towel.

Water Cycle Writing

Water Cycle - 

Do you know what a Water Cycle is ?

In a Water Cycle there are 4 Processes, Condensation, Precipitation, Evaporation and Collection. 

Evaporation - 

Evaporation is the begging process to the Water Cycle, evaporation is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas).

Condensation - 

Condensation , Water from the ground evaporates as Gas and vapour into the air and starts forming the clouds. Water evaporates due to the heat from the Sun. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor.

Precipitation - 

Precipitation is the third process in the Water Cycle, When the cloud is formed and gets too heavy it causes the water to fall as rain, snow, sleet or hail.

Collection -  

Collection is the final process, collection is when the water is finally stored in lakes, oceans (etc). The process then starts again remaining from the very first process - Evaporation and it continues on and on. 

These 4 Processes make up the Water Cycle. 

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori - Maori language week

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori - Maori language week

Tēnā koutou Kātoā,

This week is Maori language week. For us as New Zealanders it is important that we celebrate Maori language week, Te reo Maori is the language of New Zealand !

Today our whole school gathered in the Te Wairua Pakiki space. 

Leitupo started us off with a greeting in Maori, Stella then came and said a prayer in portuguese.

Sateki’s group was up first.

Xavier introduced himself in Maori which is called a Pepeha, when he had finished his group then started off with a dance - E te iwi e!

Stella’s group was up next.

Stella and her group did a dance to -Waka waka e e, I enjoyed seeing everyone in her group participating, they did great although I think they could’ve put more effort into there dance.

Dianne’s group was up.

Dianne introduced herself saying her Pepeha, then her group organised themselves into there positions and they did there Poi dance.

It was fascinating watching them doing there dance with the Poi’s! I don’t think I could have done it better to be honest.

Finally, it was time for my group to perform.

I introduced myself in Maori saying my Pepeha - my group did our dance with the sticks called the Te rakau using the song - E papa.
