SOLAR ENERGY

Solar Energy


Rm 17 did an experiment with coffee and water to see which liquid would heat up the fastest using Solar energy.
Some of the predictions were that the coffee would heat up the fastest, because coffee is a dark shade/colour and the sun is attracted to dark shades/colours. Some people predicted that the water would heat up the fastest because water is thinner and less dense.


The teacher poured the water and coffee into plastic cups.After that   had finished pouring all of our cups with coffee and water he told us to come down to the mat.The teacher gave each group a thermometer and told the class to put their cups of coffee and water outside in the sun.The coffee and water stayed out in the sun for 30 minutes.For 2 minutes the thermometer was in each liquid.


After that amount of time each group pulled out the thermometer and measured the temperature.Some groups found out the the water heated up the fastest and some found that the coffee heated up the fastest.Unfortunately the weather forecast was not sunny so the experiment was not possibly a true experiment.


Also the measurements weren’t filled accurately , so this might have interfered with the experiment.Some of the water that was poured into cups filled a ¼ of the cup and some of the coffee that was poured into cups filled ½ of the cups.Because of this the water could have heated up the fastest or the coffee could have depending on the measurements.

Baking A Cake

Baking A Cake

Never, not ever in her lifetime, only once did my littlest sister bake a cake.She got everything out and started.Into the glass bowl would go eggs, milo, baking powder, milk, sugar and flour.She mixed and mixed and mixed until the mixture was as pale as milk.My family and I finished eating dinner and my littlest sister announced," I have baked a cake all by myself ".

My Holidays

My Holidays:

"Uhhh when are we there", I moaned.
It was a lovely sunny day and we were
stuck in a hot stuffy car.
"If you keep on moaning I will turn around and we
won't go to Kaiteriteri at all", said my Mum.
That kept us quiet fir the whole car trip.


When we got to Kaiteriteri it was hightide.
My Mum drove up to our batch that we
rent every year for 3 nights and 4 days.
"Molly can you please put thi s in the kitchen..........

Blindness

Blindness:


Blind I am but nothing can stand in my way. 



Listening is one skill of mine



Independent I am to survive,



Nothing is colourful in my world



Dakness is my worst enemy



Not knowing what to do,



Everything seems like nothing



Sensitive to touch and feel,



Skill I am to use touch not see.

Ki Orahi

Ki Orahi:


"Atlast" I sighed to myself time for "KI ORAHI".
the day was so fun although we lost all of our games we tried our best and worked as a team.
The thing I most enjoyed about Ki Orahi was how fun it was. 

My Holiday Prediction

My Easter Holiday Prediction:

The Sun was streaming through my window and I rolled over onto the other side of my bed.It was cool and cold on the other side and I started shivering.I decided to roll back over and by then I was wide awake.I got out of my warm cozy bed and then suddenly i remembered it was Easter today.

Camp

 Camp: 


This was the best camp ever.

Maybe it was because of the teachers, or how much fun we had.I don't know how it was the best camp ever it just happened.The best part of camp was the camp concert.Everyone plucked up their courge to perfom either by themselves or in a group.My second favourites were spotlight and cooking our own meals.
Why you ask? Well I'll tell you why. Well all of the groups put so much effort into their meals and they also made sure that everyone in their group suited the meal they were going to prepare.

Camp River Crossing

Camp:

The best thing about camp was having the water fight and jumping into the freezing cold water.I really enjoyed camp because I overcame my fear of freezing water.Everything was really good except for the mozzies which I got attacked by.It was really fun biking ddown to Mill Flat and walking a nature walk to the swing bridge or up the hill to the waterfall.The people from D.O.C ,told me alot about the native forests ,and how to build a stretcher out of clothing and other materials.This was the best camp ever, and I hope we have a better one sooner throughout the year.
