It would get very dark and last 15 mins then it would get bright again. 

last one?

The last solar Eclipse happened in 1965.  

Next one?

The next solar eclipse will happen in 2028.

 

Music Refletion

 

1.  What did you enjoy the last term in Music? Playing guitar  because when I first time played them it was kinda interesting it got my attention.

1. What is meant by the term “Kristallnacht”?

Night Of Broken Glass

2. When did this event occur?

9.10/11/1938

3. How many synagogues did the program claim were burned?

267

4. How many Jews were claimed to have died as a result of this event?

91

30,000

6. What was the reaction of the German people to this event?

They made it like it was the jew's fault. 

How does evidence in this document show that “Kristallnacht” was planned in advance of the event actually happening?

This was a day before the event happened. The event happened at 1:20 AM on November 8, 1938. It was pre-planned because it was sent one day before the event on 9/10, of November 1938, and it tells them what to do and what not to do

Hitler's view

Today in class we were learning about Hitler's antisemitism and hate for the jews.

Here are the two quotes:

“Lowering the quality of the white race which they hate and thus lowering it’s cultural and political level so that Jews could dominate”

"The Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end spying on the unsuspicious German girl he plans to seduce; he wants to contaminate her blood and remove the bosom from her own people."

Age : 76 years 

What are they famous for ? Albert Einstein is best known for his equation E = mc2, which states that energy and mass (matter) are the same thing, just in different forms. He is also known for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

 

 

DNA Extraction Experiment

Aim; To extract DNA from the kiwi fruit 

Method: 

1. Mush half a kiwi fruit in a zip lock with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt 
2. Stain he solution though a cloth into a beaker 
3. Add a squirt of dish-washing liquid and stir 
4. Pour into a test tube 
5. Place the test tube 
6. Leave for 10minss. ( begin blog in this time ) 
7. Slowly pour 5mL of mentholated spirits down the inside of the test tube 

Result: 

 Where do you find the DNA?

In every organism, there is a cell and within that cell, there is a nucleus. There are 46 chromosomes in the nucleus and in those chromosomes there are strands of DNA.

Conclusion: I would not do anything different as it worked perfectly and I extracted DNA

Text purpose : To give infromation

Date: May 10  2021

On the news article that was published on KiwiKidsNews.com, the Prime Minister Jacinda Arden has confirmed that on June 24, 2022 , New Zealand will celebrate Matariki as a public holiday.

The holiday is special fro New ZEaland  ,  a time for reflection and celebration, and our first public holiday that recognises Te Ao Māori .”

The Beatles

The Beatles land in New Zealand 

Beatlemania hit New Zealand when 7000 hysterical fans greeted the Fab Four in Wellington during their ‘Far East’ tour. After concerts in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and Australia, the lads from Liverpool touched down in New Zealand.

The Beatles’ fame preceded them and our teenagers were ready for action. In Wellington, police struggled to keep crowds behind a wire fence at the airport and rapturous fans besieged the Beatles’ hotel.

On 22 June the Beatles played their first New Zealand concerts, repeating a 30-minute 11-song set as fans screamed and punctured the seats of the Wellington Town Hall with their stiletto heels. Audiences in Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin followed suit. Perhaps the most dangerous moment of the tour occurred in Auckland, where several thousand people swarmed around the band and John Lennon lost a clump of hair.

The tour had a huge impact on New Zealand’s rock ’n’ roll and pop music scene. Local artists such as Ray Columbus, Howard Morrison and Max Merritt and the Meteors benefited from a surge of interest in the Beatles’ wake.

The last post

 

In military tradition, the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.

Parihaka ( 1989 )

 

The non-violent action preached and practiced by Māori prophets Te Whiti and Tohu at Parihaka in Taranaki forms one of the most compelling episodes of New Zealand’s 19th century history, as they resisted Pākehā confiscation of their land and home. Tim Finn was inspired to write this paean to the pair after reading Dick Scott’s influential book Ask That Mountain. Band Herbs provide the accompaniment.

Science

Aim: To observe neutralisation reaction.

Equipment: 
6 test tubes, test tube rack, 1 base, 1 acid ( making sure it has around the same PH level on opposite sides), dropper bottle, Universal Indicator.

Method:

1. Get all of your equipment.
   
2. Fill 4 test tubes with 3ml of acid.
3. FIll the other 2 with 3ml of the base.
4. Add a squirt of universal indicator to each test tube.
5. Add different amounts of acids and bases to make the colors of the rainbow. (ROYGBIV)

Result.

Discussion: This means that it was changing to a neutral ph level. Tho it is turning green, when t is green that doesn't mean that it would be drinkable. Neutralisation is when a chemical reaction occurs while mixing together a base and an acid.If you neutralize acid but don't add enough base it will go around the orange-yellow color when the universal indicator is added, this would be in the 2-6 area in the pH level. If you neutralize a base but don't add enough acid it would go blue or violet when the universal indicator is added, this is about an 8-12 on the pH scale. What is in an acid that makes it an acid you may ask, an acid is an acid because it has an atom called Hydrogen (H+), every acid has this atom in the acid. What makes a base a base then, a base has something called Hydroxide(OH-) in it instead.

Athletics Day

text title: Athletics day 

Text type: Narrative / short Story

Text author Patricia Grace

Nick became curious about Keri and found out heaps of information about her. He found out that Keri was a good runner because she trained so hard going for a run every night after school across the farm paddocks. Sprinting  then jogging sometimes up hills sometimes down slope. She run at the inter-school last year and it was running that she was best at. On the day of Athletic day Keri sat down and started stretching  before the event. The first two heats were a bit of a joke most of them didn't even try to win.Some even walked. When it was Keri's turn ,Nick watched nervously. Keri got second  and after eating lunch Keri looked depressed because she was probably not used to being not the winner. When the event started again,  Nick  was cheering up wanting her to win. This time Keri  won.  and something strange happened when the girl who won second and Keri gave each other a hug . They wre laughing  as if they were the best of friends.

" And the winne of the junior girls 200 metre final is Keri Tyers".

American Slave trade Map

Slave trade map

Last week, we learned about the triangular slave and what happened to the people in South Africa who were taken and chained to ships. We started by talking about how Americans treat Americans when they are forced to be taken from their homes and sold into slavery. They were exchanged for goods and chained to each other and to the floorboards of the boats. They are very close and malnutrition causes the death of some of them. They were not released so if they died the people next to them were waiting there with a dead person next to them praying that they did not die there next door. Here is my Slave Triangle map with lots of information on the topic.

Here is the link to see the work that i did on My map

Music was used by slaves to tell stories, keep them motivated and let them know when the path was clear to escape. Dance and music are used in rituals and religious ceremonies.

Here is an example of the African music

Science - model atom

AIM - to make a model atom

1. Choose an atom to make ( between Hydrogen and Neon )
2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.
3. Hydrogen to beryllium use the big beads
4. Born to Neon use the small beads.
5. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.
6. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.
7. cut out the appropriate electrons shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.
8. connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string.
9. create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Result.
