This week at maths we started a new topic, Transformations. There are four elements of transformation and discussed only three of them. Reflection, which is where each point is the opposite side of the mirror line. Rotation, where points rotate at an angle without moving. Translation, which is where each point moves in the same distance and direction.
We did not go over the last one yet which is enlargement and scale factors.
Tsunami comes from the Japanese word "Harbour wave". It is a series of waves that are caused by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions under the water. Most Tsunamis are caused by converging tectonic plate boundaries. Tsunamis can be as fast as a Jetplane.
In social studies, we have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We were asked to research a treaty we would like to learn about and compare it to the Treaty of Waitangi. I chose the Antarctic Treaty.
This week in ESOL, we continued our learning of the Chocolate industry. We were asked to work with our teams from the last activity we did. Where we mapped out what countries most of the producers and consumers were. Our activity was to represent a role in the 'bean to bar' process for making and selling chocolates. There were five roles that we chose from.
The growers of cocoa. The growers of the cocoa, plant, and harvest cocoa to sell to the cocoa buyers. The growers work in Tropical Lands.
The buyers of cocoa import to the chocolate makers and pay the growers. They also work in air-conditioned offices. They sell the cocoas to rich producing countries.
The producers of other ingredients of the chocolate. They produce the other ingredients of the chocolate. They have workers who work to produce the ingredients.
The chocolate manufacturers. They make the actual product and work with laborers and machines. They usually work in factories.
Lastly, the shopkeepers. This was the role my group chose. Retailers work in retails with good air conditioning and are usually dressed nicely and sell the finished product to consumers.
We also divided the money using percentages. Our first choice was to have 25 percent of the 1.23. But the total exceeded the limit so we had to negotiate. A classmate of ours became a solicitor and removed a few percentages and our group settled at 19 percent. We then found out the actual percentage and the actual percentage we were supposed to have was 23 percent.
It did not really surprise me once I found out the actual percentages our roles were supposed to have.
To conclude, I personally think that it is quite fair. Since everybody has families, rent and stuff to pay.
In art, we did dilution painting. The subject matter of my painting is the sculpture of a persons head with their skull coming out. The face is the focus of the piece. I used diluted white acrylic paint to make a thin wash. I brushed this on the painting paper with the black gesso. This created a grey tone. To make lighter, grey tones, I added second and third layers of wash. for the highlights I did was I layered it over and over or thickening up the acrylic by using less water. The negative space also helps the subject matter to pop out more and helps with the tones.
I chose this image because I just find it interesting. With the skull coming out of the sculpture's head.
I find this art technique really interesting and challenging since this time I had to start with the highlights rather than the shadows.
This week at maths we learned how to use tree diagrams. Tree diagrams can be used to show the different possibilities and calculate possibilities.
Today in social studies, our class wrote mihis.

Ko Calumpung te awa iti
Ko Hornby High school te kura
Ko Calabon toku whanau
Ko Oliver toku papa

Antarctic Center Trip
Two weeks ago on Friday, September 4th, our year 10 ESOL class went on a class trip to the Antarctic Center to learn more about Antarctica for our class studies.
At our arrival at the Antarctic Centre, at 9:00 o'clock, our class was introduced to a person called Jane. She was one of the staff that worked there and she was the person who was in charge of our class. We then went to the workshop to learn and to see what Antarctica is like. She explained a bunch of facts to us like the race to Antarctica, which involved two men: Robert Falcon Scott who was a British explorer, and Roald Amundsen who was a Norweigan explorer. We also learned facts about Huskies.
After the workshop ended, we got on the Hagglund. Hagglunds were built for the Swedish Army and were first used in Antarctica in 1974. The Hagglunds weigh 4330 kg. The Hagglunds surprised me that it can move over different obstacles such as climbing steep mountains, floating on water, and has a good balance despite it being a heavy vehicle. The Hagglund experience was really fun especially when there were a bunch of bumps on the road and it would rock us inside.
Then, we met the Little Blue Penguins. They were the smallest species of penguins and their lifespan is six years. We watched the little blue penguins being fed fish and we learned that the oldest penguin that they had was about 25 years old, which surprised me since they only live up to 6 years! Currently, their oldest penguin is 17 years old. The penguins were small and cute but they were really fast in the water. The Little Blue Penguin viewing was short but I had fun looking at them.
Next, we went to the 4D movie experience. A 4D movie is combining a 3D film with physical effects. The movie we watched was called 'Ice Voyage'. It was about a cruise to Antarctica, roaming around and exploring the beauty of the continent. The movie showed us the ice, wildlife, and the landscape. When I was watching the movie, it really made me feel that I was in Antarctica, thanks to the 3D and special effects. After we watched the movie, I felt that Antarctica is a beautiful place and I hope that we can protect it as it is one of the most peaceful places on the whole planet.
Following the movie, we had free time. For our free time, my three classmates Myka, Jhermaine, and Faith, decided to roam around the exploration gallery and ate at the cafeteria after. We didn't really do much but talk and eat. Because it was Faith's birthday, we ate the chips she brought for us. They were really delicious and burnt my fingers a little because they were hot.
After we filled our stomachs, we went to the Storm Room. Before we got there, I saw two of my classmates doing the ice-cold challenge. I heard one of them stayed there for a while but I don't remember the amount of time they had their arm in there. Later we were told to put on shoe covers so that we wouldn't slip on the ice. When we went into the storm room, we saw a room full of ice and snow. It had an igloo that we could enter and two snow-mobiles that we could ride on. After a few minutes, the storm room went dark and the speaker announced that there would be a storm, and everyone started to huddle together and go in the igloo for warmth. Then the storm finally arrived. Gusts of wind enveloped the room and it was cold. The maximum wind speed of the storm was 42 km and the lowest temperature was negative eight degrees. I was wearing a mask and a jacket to keep me warm. Even so, I was still cold since my socks were short and I could feel the sharpness of the wind on my legs. Although it hurt a little, it was bearable. We stayed there for about eight minutes and later left the storm room. We were told that that was only the summer temperature, which really surprised me because I felt like I was in the freezer.
Lastly, we went back to the exploration gallery to finish our workbooks. When we entered the gallery, the first thing you would first notice the huge globe that rotates and was projecting something underneath it. . As we went in farther, we separated and some of us decided to be in groups to research what we found interesting. I had a little free time in the end so I decided to buy a tiny whale keychain plushie from the souvenir shop to hang on my bag.
Unfortunately, the time to leave has come. At 12:45 the taxi vans have arrived to pick us up and arrived at school at 1:00 pm.
Although the trip was short and the huskies weren't there, the whole experience was really fun! Especially because it was my first time coming to the "Antarctic Centre". It was really interesting learning more about Antarctica through this trip and I definitely would want to come back and meet the huskies once Covid 19 is gone.
Our plan:
What went well:
our first attempt it
This week in Maths we have been learning about calculating forces and calculating acceleration.
the triangle in the formula is the Greek letter "delta" meaning "change in".
In Art, we have been working on stencils. For my stencil, I referenced a stencil of a character from ONE PIECE, Tony Tony Chopper. I used this character as a stencil because his shilluoute is recognizable and I like his silly character, and for my background, I put cherry blossom trees because my character has a special memory of them. For my stencil, I just used a brown color and didn't use any special techniques, just normal flat brush strokes. For my Background, I used different shades of pink and dabbed my brush in different areas of my poster to create the effect of leaves, and white for the highlights.
In social studies, our class wrote an essay about technology from different periods and I wrote about 20th-century technology. This is my research below.
During the 20th century, there was lots of great technology that was invented during this period. Lots of these inventions were created to benefit World War one and two. Some of these important inventions are Nuclear bombs, World Wide Web, and Video games. Some of these inventions are still being used today.
An important invention that was made during the 20th century period was the Nuclear Bomb. The nuclear bomb benefited the United States during the second world war. While the war has ended in Europe, fighting in the pacific still continued between the Japanese and U.S troops. President Harry Turman called for Japan’s surrender with the Potsdam Declaration which was a statement called for the surrender of all Japanese armed forces in late July, but Japan didn’t surrender. On August 6, 1945, the US dropped its first atomic bomb in Hiroshima Japan. Even though it benefited the US, it caused a lot of deaths and injuries. This is why it is an important invention in this time period.
Another very important invention during the 20th century was the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web was originally used and developed so there would be a way for scientists in universities and institutes from around the world to share automated information-sharing. A British scientist, Sir Tim Burners-Lee wrote the first proposal the World Wide Web in 1989 and the second proposal in the 1990s. By the end of 1990, the first browser and web server were first run at CERN. CERN is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. The World Wide Web is an invention that is influential and is now used everywhere and is very important.
The third important invention that has changed the world is Video Games. Video games were invented to prove that science is not only used for war and destruction. The very first video game was made by a Physicist William Higinbotham in October 1958. The first video game was a simple tennis game called “Pong”. Video games have now reshaped the whole entertainment industry and it is now considered as a sport called Esports. This is why video games are an amazing invention.
In summary, the inventions that were made in the 20th century period were all-important as they have changed the world and created history, like the nuclear bomb, the World Wide Web, and video games. These are all still used today and have shaped the world we live in.
This week in Maths we started learning about Forces and Motion. We first looked at the topic of algebra. We also learned about the rules of Substitution.
We have been studying Antarctica. We listened to a story about Nanook, a husky who was sent to Antarctica on an expedition in 1901. We then wrote the next chapter of the story from Nanook’s ‘Point of View’.
As I arise from the sound of howling, I immediately got up to look for my brothers and sisters. I eagerly ran towards them to see what they were up to; Hector was singing his dog songs as usual and Wolf was chasing Fluff. No one bothered to wake up Hercules so he was still sleeping soundly in our shelter
I joined my brothers and sisters. We raced and chased each other, it was loads of fun! Until we were summoned by our guardian. They put us in a harness attached to the dog runs. I remembered two days ago, Hector told is that our pack will go to someplace called Antarctica. Antarctica, I wonder what it's like. Maybe it would have a huge grassy field where I could play, run and lay on. I daydreamed as we were walking to the ship called Destiny. I can't wait to see what adventures we are going to experience.
I was really excited as we got on the ship that I kept running around and bumping into things. The crewmates laughed and so did Grandma and the others but Hector and one of the crewmen told me off so I quieted down.
I stared and admired the glistening sea while white cotton balls filled the sky. My team was bickering and playing around while Hercules was asleep. It makes me wonder if he even woke up to get on the ship. I then kept imagining what Antarctica would be like.
The cold breeze brushed against my face as my fur swayed along with the cold wind. One of the crewmen yelled, "We're almost there!". My ears twitched and my eyes sparkled as I thought of the adventures that were about to happen and all the things we were going to experience.
This week in maths I have learn't about the two types of tax: income tax and GST( good and services tax)
Income tax:
(___ )/ 100 x (____) = ----
The amount you are paid by your employer is your gross pay. The amount you actually get after income tax is paid is, called your net pay.
GST:
There are two types of GST. GST-exclusive ( what the retailer gets) and GST-inclusive ( what the customer pays).
