Music:

 In music we are asked to film/preform something weither that be a song or a beat of even advertising something. Izzy and I are going to do a day in our life as a Hornby High student but by 2 point of views. We are going to try and basically advertise Hornby High and why it is a good school to go to. We are going to be filming all over Hornby and even go some of our younger year students involved by interviewing them and asking them a bunch of questions. 

Gymnastics:

Today I focused on my front handspring and learning how to land it correctly and efficiently. 

The 3 main points were... 

to keep your hands out straight the whole time.

make sure you push your hands up.

Make sure you are very straight in general like keep your back very straight. 

 

The Road Of The Treaty:

 

Science: Krakatoa Volcano

 Krakatoa

Where is it? 

• Rakata Island, Indonesia

When did it last erupt?

• 2020, started in 1883

Damage it has done?

• Krakatoa has done a lot of damage to the places and people around it. 

• In 1833 Krakatoa first erupted. Ash fell on Singapore, Cocos Island, and ships as far as 6067 km west-northwest. Darkness covered the Sunda Straits from 11 a.m on the 27th until the next day. At least 36,417 people were killed, most people died from giant sea waves, and coastal villages were destroyed. When the eruption ended, only ⅓ of Krakatau remained above sea level and new islands formed from the magma spewing out of the volcano

• It had destroyed and formed lands while also causing havoc for residents and other countries.

How and when was it formed?

• Since Krakatoa lies along the Indian-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates its how it was formed. Because the two tectonic plates are dangerous at risk of high volcanic and seismic activity it's pretty common that one was made. It supposedly started/formed in 400 BC. 

Interesting random facts?

• the first eruption lasted one minute and 12 seconds 

• The 1883 eruption was the loudest sounds ever reported in the history

•  Records held that 165 villages and towns surrounding Kratatoa were destroyed and 132 more were seriously damaged 

• Karatoa had killed 30.000+ people

• in August 1883 was one of the most deadly  colacine eruptions in modern history, it is estimated that more than 36.00 people died. the eruption aslp affected the climate and caused temperature to drop over the world.

• Karatoa belongs to the ring of fire

Today we finally made our volcanoes erupt

How we made it to erupt: 

15ml of warm water

25ml of hydrogen peroxide

2 spatulas of potassium iodine into the warm water and stir.

Hydrogen peroxide food coloring and soap into the bottle that sits inside the volcano.

Warm water and potassium iodine is then added with the Hydrogen peroxide and soap which is how elephant toothpaste is made. 

Here's our video we got of our volcano erupting.

We do have a video of the eruption but we are still waiting for it to send. Technical difficulties. 

Tangaroa:

 Tangaroa: 

Tangaroa is the ‘God of the Sea” Maori, Polynesian people and their ancestors lived close to the sea and relied on it for food and other resources. Maori believe that water is an energy because of  its many different moods that change frequently. The sea has many different spiritual importances too for example the sea is where life started like fish. Fish then started to evolve into humans and amphibians “things that can live both on water and land”. Tangaroa is the son of Papatuanuku ‘The earth mother’ and Ranginui ‘The sky father’.  With some stories it is said that Tangaroa is husband to Papatuanuku and Rivil to Ranginui.  

Music: Same Love performance - Lauren, Izzy and Kayla

 Same Love Performance:

What did we preform?

Lauren, Izzy and I did the song same love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

My rule was to play the first chorus on keyboard. Izzy did the start and ending while Lauren did the second chorus right after me. 

How did the performance go? 

I think it went pretty well considering that we had to quickly change up each rule. 

And when I went into this I was expecting the worse and thought I wouldn't be able to learn all the cords.

What was challenging about this task?

A challenging part for me was learning how to play with black keys as well and white at the same time but I picked it up pretty fast and well.

What did you enjoy about this task?

I enjoyed being able to pick our own song, a song I like and learn it. I would rather be able to pick a song then being assigned one. 

Our Performance

 

Know Your Place:

 Know Your Place:

In Social Studies we were asked to make a prezi answering questions that were about Christchurch and Canterbury. The reason for this was for us to one use a new app/thing to create and share our work which was prezi and two learn a bit more about Christchurch and Canterbury. I was sadly away for the first lesson so I started later hints why I did a lot less work than others in the class. I was able to answer 4 questions, I tried my best to make it look good and I tired to list as much information as I could.

My Prezi 

Prezi 

I learnt many different origins for south island city's, for example I learnt that Canterbury is named after the ecclesiastical mother. The most interesting thing I learnt/researched was Hornby High's history and how it started. I think next time I really could of used the app prezi more and add things like pictures and other cool things to make it look more appealing.
