Filtering

Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about Chemistry. Today in chemistry we are learning about filtering. Filtering is  pass (a liquid, gas, light, or sound) through a device to remove unwanted material. or in simple words. "Straining". Can all mictures be filtered? No! Only Insoluble particles.. If it has dissolved into the liquid it has to be seperated a different war. Method:

1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfrate solution into a neaker. 
2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution.  reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate. 
3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel. 
4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.
5. stir the micture in the beakerm then carefully pour it into the funnel .
6. observe what happened. 

We filtered the liquid with the solutions in it using the filtering paper, it is now filtered but water is blurry it might be caused of the other chemicals that are in the sodium carbonate. There are some blue stuff on the filtering paper, the texture of the blue stuff is cloudy and it feels like cotton .The colorless liquid in the end is called sodium solfate.

Essay.

Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about english. My class have been working on making an essay for 2 weeks now. We had a planning sheet where we put our ideas to persuade our readers. Here is the Essay that I did and it is about one of the most influential person in New Zealand. 

The person I chose is Jacinda Ardern because she had a lot of good choices that made New Zealand better. Jacinda is the youngest woman prime minister at the age of 37. She was given an award by Harvard university for hundred thousand US dollars which is equivalent to 200k New Zealand dollars.  She was born on July 27 1980, she is just 26 days younger than my mum.  Her full name is Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern.  My name is Alex and I'm going to persuade you why Jacinda Ardern is an influential leader of NZ. 



So, there's been so much discussion about the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has seen governments, including the UK struggle to settle on a good strategy to tackle this crisis. Jacinda and her other family of five million which means the whole country not just tackled but dropped COVID-19 in days. She made some simple rules that kept the country safe. She gave a huge credit to her community by showing her appreciation on live TV. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, she had to deal with the volcano eruption which killed 16 people on White island in December last year. Paying tribute to those who have died, She said: “Many people did extraordinary things to save lives, those who have been lost are now forever linked to New Zealand, and we will hold them close.”. 




As the 40th New Zealand prime minister, she is also a mother. Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford is the name of their very first daughter’s name. Aroha is a Māori word meaning "love", cognate with the Hawaiian term aloha. Aroha is also a given name to a lot of people in Hawaii and in New Zealand. Her husband’s name is Clarke Timothy Gayford, he was born on  24 October 1976 He is a New Zealand radio and television broadcaster, presenter of the fishing documentary show Fish of the Day. He is the fiance of the New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern. 




Kai, Jacinda is  one of the initials that produces Kai for all the schools in New Zealand. Jacinda hates seeing child poverty, giving food to schools is one of her projects for the kids that might need it. Eating lunch is important for schools because it gives the students energy to do sports or just energy in class. Child poverty is children living in poverty and kids that live with a poor family or even orphaned. Children who live in poverty might have parents that don't have jobs or maybe they don’t have parents. About 290,000 children here in Newzealand live in poverty. I think the children that live in poverty don't feel like themselves at all, these children are supposed to have fun outside, learn. But these children are out there looking       for food in the rubbish. Poverty is one of the hardest things kids can face. Poverty is a state being Extremely poor.




Just like in the beginning of my essay,  Jacinda Ardern is still a very successful politician. Therefore this is why I think that Mrs Jacinda Ardern is a really influential politician and one of the people that made or will make New Zealand even better than it is today.   This is the end of my persuasion about Mrs Jacinda Ardern.  My favorite part was Jacinda Ardern helping the children with poverty problems.
                                      

This is the end of my Essay, please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing.

Our team won, we carried the cups to the other table and we got 19 seconds.  We also played another game and it is called shark infested custoard.  We used hoola hoops and our strategy was to jump to the hoop at the front and get at the back hoop and put it on the front.

Week4 do now

 Rugby is the most definitive sport in New Zealand, the reason is that rugmy is the national sport  of New Zealand and when people think about NZ rugby is one of the things they think about.  It pretty much means for general use and typically of standard design, not special or  commemorative.So that is why I think rugby is the most definitive sport of Aotearoa. Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback of what you think about the statement.

Chemistry.

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making  anew blog post about Chemistry. Our task is to answer our work and post it on our blogs. We need to list ou things that are soluble and things that are non soluble. Soluble means somethings that (of a substance) able to be dissolved, especially in water. For example:  sugar, coffee, pepper, sand, flour, salt. Things that are insoluble is Sand is insoluble in water.Chalk is insoluble in water.Benzene is insoluble in water.Oil is insoluble in water. Three ways to speed up the dissolving is mixing, heating up and stirring. We meeded to match the following using the keywords to its definitions. Here is the task that I did. 

We are filling up the beakers with really warm water and putting the sugar in it. We mix it with the glass mixer and watch if it dissolves. The fastest method was using the warmer water becasue the molecules moved faster.

Week 4 Do Now

Hello raeders today I'm going to be making a new blog post about englsih, Our topic for today is " Schools should have more mufti days".I agree that the school should have more mufti days. Mufti day is not just for fun it also helps some charities like the cancer charity and the pink shirt day. Everytime we have mufti day, there are some senior students that has a small sack and they go around the school to take the student's donations. Bringing a gold coin is ideal because that is what the mufti day is for. Therefore this is why I agree with the statement "Schools should have more mufti days".  This is the end of my blog post. Please comment on my blog post about what you think about the statement.

week 3 do now

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog psot about english. Our topic is cats are better pets than dogs. My task is to persuade my readers for them to believe my opinion. I think that dogs are better than cats because dogs are more intelligent than cats. We can train dogs easier than cats because they have more nerve in their brain. Dogs can be taught tricks, manners, behaviours and commands. People can train them maybe for protection or to make friends with them jkust like making them their pets. Dogs will guard your home from burlargs and strangers but cats don't do these these things because of their small size.  This is why I think dogs are better than cats. Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback of what you think about this statement.

Jacinda Ardern.

Hello readers, today I'm going to be making a new blog post about english. Our task was to choose a person that is influencial and we need to research about them. The person I chose is Jacinda Ardern because had a lot of good choices that made New Zealand better. Jacinda is the youngest woman politician at the age of 37. [She was awarded by Harvard university, she contributed a hundred thousand us dollars which is equivalent to 200k New Zealand dollars.  She was born on July 27 1980, she is just 26 days younger than my mum.  Her full name is Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern. Why my name is Alex and I'm going to persuade you why Jacinda Ardern is a good leader. So, there's been so much discussion about the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has seen governments, including the UK struggle to settle on with a good strategy to tackle this crisis. Jacinda and her other family of five million which means the whole country not just tackled but dropped COVID-19 in days. She made some simple rules that kept the country safe. She gave a huge credit to her community by showing her appreciation on live TV.

Paying tribute to those who have died, She said: “Many people did extraordinary things to save lives,those who have been lost are now forever linked to New Zealand, and we will hold them close.”.  A great leader possesses a clear vision, is courageous, has integrity, honesty, humility and clear focus. Great leaders help people reach their goals. A great leader is not afraid to persuade people that might be better than them and will take pride in the accomplishments they make or achieve. These are the things she shows the community and this is what makes her a good leader. Thank you for reading my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing.

Week 2 Do Now

 School uniform should not be mondatory, disagree that the uniform should be mondatory because it represents where we are from. The school unform has the school name logo and the name of the school but other clothes doesn't. Wearing the uniform makes us look similar, looks more formal, looking more tidy with the uniform.

Week 1

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about English. Our topic is School Holidays should only be 1 week long. We need to make a persuasion about it by agreeing or disagreeing . For me,  School Holidays should be 2 weeks long so the students have more time with their whanau or family. An evidence that I can provide is that, in the normal school days we don't spend that much time with our whanau because they might be tired or busy with their work. Spending time with your family builds more confidence for each member. We will learn more about life because parents teach their child to self esteem just like problem solving and their own communication. Parents will model the ability to love oneself by not degrading others. Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing.

Saving Our Air.

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about English. Our task was to choose a book that looked interesting for us, get the matching comprehension card with it and read the book carefully.

Dear editor, 

I really liked your book, there was some things that I knew already but it was still really fun to read. I read the book carefully, the title was Bubbles and Balloons.  It was about how we use the air around us and how they are useful to us. It also says to "care for our air" Earth's air is a precious resource. However, some airs in the parts of Earth are polluted.  The matching comprehension card says: What suggestions could you make? Suggestions that I can make is using physical transportations like biking and scootering. Helping the trees in your neighborhood by watering them. I think burning also counts smoking, cigarette uses a drug that is really addictive. It is called nicotine, I know that it will be really hard to stop smoking. But please try, smoking is also really bad for your lungs. What you do to Earth effects everyone around you. My most favorite parts were you gave us suggestions like " you can recycle, reduce and reuse. I hope you make some other interesting books, keep it up.

Yours sincerely, 

Alex.
