100 Word Challenge

Today in wananga we did a 100 word challenge. The photo was a big bear splashing in the lake with a seagull photo bombing. Here is my work with a photo so you get the idea. 

Story:

It was a normal day for me when I went to sleep but when I woke up everything was different.  I rolled onto the floor and very slowly I walked into the bathroom but when I saw my reflection in the mirror I screamed because I was a huge and scary bear! Then before I knew it the floor was opening up beneath me and I struggled to get my footing so I fell through into a big lake and made a huge splash. Now I live my life as a brown bear in the forest catching fish for fun.

Today i'm am talking about the first thing we did for music, before the last music post. We first did a music study where we got to pick from a instrument or singing to research and I chose to do singing with my friend Kalea. We did have a video but I haven't found it yet. Here are some questions I had to answer. 

Why did you choose singing?

I chose singing because it is a passion of mine and I wanted to learn more about it

What song did you choose to learn and why?

We chose before you go by Lewis Capaldi because it is a really nice song and we can sing it well.

What was challenging and how did you overcome those challenges?

Learning the song was the hardest part but we overcome it by sticking to it and not giving up.

Where you happy with your end result?

We were happy because it sounded really good and our hard work payed off.

What would you change if you could do it again?

I would probably change the song to something more challenging for me.

What have you enjoyed about about music this semester?

I enjoyed being able to be with my best friends and being able to do something fun.

The past few weeks for music we have been working on researching music genres. Me and my group chose rap, which stands for rhythm and poetry. The slideshow above is all of our research.

Dilution Experiment

On Monday this week, we did another science experiment. We did a dilution experiment where we had to use water and chemicals to make a satisfying scene. Here is my thoughts from my brain.

Aim:

To make the chemical dilute by using water.

Method:

1. Get 6 test tubes and fill the first one with 10mls of water and the rest with 5mls

2. Put 5mls of Potassium Permanganate in the first test tube

3. Take 5mls from the first tube with the chemicals and put it in the second tube

4. Continue the pattern until you have reached the last test tube which should have 10mls in it by the end.

Equipment:

5mls of Potassium Permanganate

6 Large test tubes

Tweezers

A Pipette

Test tube rack

Beaker

Results:

The first tube was really dark because of the chemical and the rest got lighter and lighter.

Picture:

Discussion:

I think that this result happened because there was not as much chemicals left in the previous ones by the time they got to the end which makes the first one dark and the last one light.

The Present

Today for wananga we had to watch another video. Here is the video if you want to watch it Link. It was a very cool video and here are some questions I had to answer. :)

How would you describe the boy at the start of the video?

I would describe him as a  grumpy, depressed boy who was addicted to video games. Who also didn't want to be disturbed.

What did he think of his present? How do you know? Why did he feel that way?

He thought that his present was an insult. I know this because of the look on his face .He felt that way because the dogs limbs weren't all there like himself.

What lesson did the boy learn by the end of the video?

He learnt that he can't judge a book by its cover, and that even though something might be wrong everyone and everything is still the same.

Why is it important to be grateful for what we have?

Things are made the way they are and we can't judge them for that, everyone is special in their own way.
