What happened in the South Auckland Tornado?

In kea, we had to do a report about what happened in the south auckland tornado. (Leave a comment if you have any feedback)

Mentos VS Volcano experiment!

Monday was a crazy day. It started while we were supposed to do maths but Mrs Bound had something amazing for us. We could make our own Volcano with sand. We just had to write down what we thought was gonna happen, and ingredients, and what type of Volcano we were going to make. We were going to make a cinder volcano. A cinder volcano is a little volcano, Not that little, just shorter than normal volcano. Like a Plant growing. The ingredients are Vinegar, Dishsoap, Food coloring and water. We made a fake volcano experiment with sand. We used the water to make the sand stick together instead of it being dry since it will easily collapse. While we were finished up with the volcano we got the teacher to put in the ingredients. We didn't put in the Vinegar yet since we had to wait to put in the Baking soda, Water, and food coloring. Once we put that in we immediately put in the vinegar and stood back. Ours didn’t explode like a rocket, ours just spilled like you pouring juice in a glass cup. We waited for others to finish their volcano, A few minutes passed and people finally finished for us to do the coke and the mentos. Mr To’oala did it since none of us wanted to take a chance to get blown in the face. He put the mentos in the coke bottle and it blasted to the sky, But not that high, But yes it did go high but not like an actual flying rocket. People went away but some of us girls stayed to see if Mr To’oala was alright. Turns out it spat out again getting us wet. In my opinion the coke was better than the Volcano.

Why Am I against caving.

The reason I am against caving is because many things could happen. In fairness none of these things happened to me but they could happen. The first thing is injury, You could fall down and you can easily hurt yourself and even if you have supplies to heal the womb, It still won't work. 

Second reason is earthquakes. If you have that much bad luck and an earthquake happens you are in serious danger! Rocks can fall on you and you can easily die or get a serious injury, A big chance you won't survive.

Third reason is you can break a bone, if you break a bone and you have to climb in the cave, you might as well safely go back.

Forth reason if you can slip and fall, Your lights can go out and you won't be able to see where you are going.

Auckland Rugby is the Best!

 We enter the bus as time pasts by, and its almost crowded. Few minutes, hours, etc we get there and its huge! We get a tour and play some fun games with the tour people. She greets us with a smile! And she shows us the amazing rock or stone that keeps Auckland Rugby´s spirit alive, And a little message or quote on the wall. 

As she opens this secret wall, we see this hallway of how many wins they got each game, All blacks got the most each year. And as we head on, we see this old room (not really.) but as we walk there is fancy flooring and an old TV. 

Then, She asks for a volunteer and somebody puts there hand up quickly like a bird zooming threw the sky. after she kindly asks to change the channel. But it suddenly broke, But she smacked it, and it turned into this 3D cinema, Which was very entertaining for everybody. In my opinion it was explaining the story of Rugby and how it started. 

It finished and The tour person walked us into the game room, but before she did that she separated us into two teams. Team 1 and Team 2, I was in team 1. So she took us into this dark room with these ipads dug into this table in my eyes. But then we saw these rugby players on the screen, I saw my favourite rugby player on the screen. I was screaming inside, but I kept it quiet. Team 2 one, It was a good game. we lost by some points. 

After every thing else lets skip to the fun parts of the trip. After we went to this place where we learnt what the players do before they get out and played. What they do is they get in these little spaces and they sing, and maybe a speech? That will stay a question. But then we go into this room that looked like we were doing the haka with the rugby players, and it felt like one too!

Then we get into the fun part where we went to ANOTHER gaming place, but with even cooler things, Throwing game, passes quizs and running included. Then we traveled to the gift shop with clothes stuffed animals, then we got back to the bus and had a nice view continuing back to school.

Summer learning Journey.

 Today Room seven and other classes had to go to the hall for a short notice, and that notice was from Mr. Margets. He told all of us about Summer learning Journey and that other schools were also involved of this summer learning journey site. So our first task was to do a "Art Coloring Book" which was Amazing and Fun to-do, It was an Online coloring Book, but not just a Coloring book it was Colors of old colorings from long long ago, And we got to Re-Color them. Here are my Art Work!.

Partys and votes

The Red Sour patch has won the vote, Green Sour patch hated Red . Red sour patch would win everything! Even if stuff were not in "Voting", Blue sour patch didn't care about anything. He just wanted attention! Red sour patch was kids favorite. Blue was not really eaten. Red and Black Was a rare type of sour patch only 20% of the kids liked him, but they call him "the rare sour patch kids"

Today Room seven was learning about graphs to show how many amount of votes each party got, the pictures shows how many votes the party got. Labour got 13 votes (it was the highest out of everything).

I enjoyed writing my sour patch story, it was very difficult to find out to embed my picture into my blog post. But I really enjoyed doing this task.

Are you going to vote?

The election.

  

Did you know that New Zealand is divided it to 71 geographical areas called “electorates”, or “seats”, including seven maori Electoralates. Each electorates is represented by one member of Parliament (MP).

Representatives are actually chosen every three years, which means there is a general election every three years, which also means there is an act of parliament which outlines rules that they have set for the elections, the Electoral Commision will be responsible for running every election and making sure that each and every rule in the election.

Every New Zealanders who is enrolled in the election as the voters can actually offer themselves as “Candidates” for an election, most candidates belong to different types of parties like a political party. 

A politician is a type of group which is a group of people that have similar views on how our country should be run, and have different laws.
