Term 3 Music

The reason I wanted to do music was because I mainly because it seemed more interesting then most of the other subjects to choose from. I did actual want to do music to because it's an opportunity to learn a instrument. My sister use to come to this school and she really enjoyed music.    

I would like to learn to play the piano, when i was in primary school i learnt a little piano but over the years I forgot how. 

I don't play an instrument but I use to play the guitar I wasn't that good with it but I still played until it broke, I also played the keyboard 

I don't have a favourite singer  


5 of my favourite songs are It'll be alright by Dean Lewis, Bruises by Lewis Capaldi, Counting Stars by OneRepublic and Memories by Maroon 5 

  

Sustainability

This is my slideshow about Sustainability that my textiles class has been working on during the past 2 terms. At first we did a class project witch was beeswax wrap witch you can see on this slide show and my previous blog posts.

 After we finished the beeswax warps we had make a brain storm of things we could create to do with sustainability. 

Out of the things on our brainstorms we had to pick one we wanted to do and complete. 

My friend Anneleise and I happened to pick the same thing so we worked together. We both decided to try to make worn down/ old crayons into candles, as shown on the slide it took us 5 attempts, including our final to get it done.

 We worked extremely hard and put a lot of work into this and we are surprised on how it worked considering we have never done it before. It was great to work Anneleise though this I don't think I would have worked this hard if it weren't for her. It was a fun, a little stressful and more.

PE

Over the past three weeks in PE our class has been learning Juggling with scarfs and balls, Table tennis and some people did just dance. Some of the dances that have been done are Kill this Love, Rasputin, Vodovorot, Whip Nae Nae, Juju on that Beat, Airplanes, Footloose, Power

The first week we did a blog post about games and activity's we could do with the class and some other stuff to do with lock down.
Week 2 we started Table Tennis and Juggling, and at first we were just getting the hang of it. After a while we started competing against each other. 
The week after that, me and a few others did Just Dance for the rest of the period.     

In Table Tennis we were learning the basics. Our goal was to try and keep the game going till we reached 20. We were also trying to get to 10 with the scarfs in both hands then move on to the balls and try get to 20 in each hand    

Hello, Goodbye

For wananga this week our class has been working on A individual poem while sitting with people we don't usually sit with. This task got us thinking about the things we will miss at home and what stuff we won't and what we are grateful for. A hello, goodbye poem, to say goodbye to our covid-19 lives in lock down and to say Hello to normality. I feel like this helps us take a leap and move on to what is important right now.

Hello alarm waking me up in the morning 

Goodbye sleep in’s

Hello face to face conversations  

Goodbye google meets

Hello school packed with people

Goodbye home, family and all

Hello early dinners

Goodbye late nights

Hello freedom, fresh air and normality  

Goodbye Lock down

Life in the middle ages

For social studies we have been working on black death. Witch I think is a bit of a quinncidence that when this covid-19 outbreak struck we were and still are learning about a pandemic, Also know as the black plague a deadly bacteria. Near the end of term 1 I was ready to blog my timeline l labelled as Where the black death fits in history. 

During that time the people thought it was the cats that had caused this deadly outbreak, so they gathered up all the cats . But little did they know they caught the wrong thing it was infected fleas that were on the rats. The rats travelled and so did the bacteria and as the rats died the fleas would jump to people. 25 million  that is how many people died 

What is the difference between a pandemic and a epidemic, A pandemic is a worldwide out break like covid-19. As it happens some pandemics can take longer to spread then other and some can be faster. A epidemic is a illness or a disease that sickens a majority of people in a area, community or region 

 Key words:
Clergy: A person to take charge of religious duties 

Lord: A man of noble high office known as a nobleman.
Peasants: A poor farmer who owns little or nothing

Village: An area where peasants live

here is my medieval society pyramid

To me a medieval society pyramid looks a bit like a food chain but instead of going up in what will eat what. If a shark was hungry and a fish is swimming by the shark would come along a eat it. Not saying a human will eat a human but the way it is going up it goes from poorest to richest

I see poor people asking for help and others turning away I see sadness.

what I think life in the middle ages were like 

they were though and the days dragged longer. peasants, serfs and farmers spent most of there time hoping for better and working for the lords who worked for the king. The nights spent there time on the horses as a part of the kings army. lords saw peasants, serfs and farmers as slaves. everyone looked out for themselves.

Most people though the middle ages lived out in the country while they worked as farmers. There was usually a local lord witch lived in big house (AKA a manor or castle). The local peasants would work the land for the lord. "Villeins" is what the peasants called the lords

  

The Cardio-Vascular system

This week for PE the task was to make and finish a slideshow about The Cardio Respiratory System. 

This it to do with our heart, lungs, blood and muscles 

 Here's 2 questions I had to research: 

What are the three major cell types that you would find in the blood?

  White Blood Cells, Red Blood Cells and Platelets

 What is there purpose?

White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. They help you fight infections by fighting bacteria, germs and viruses that grow in the body. These come from the bone marrow but circulate throughout the bloodstream.

 Red blood cells contains oxygen and get rid of the carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are also made in the bone marrow.

 Platelets are small blood cells that help your body from clots to stop bleeding. If a blood vessel gets damaged, it sends out signs to the platelets. The platelets rush to the site of damage and they form a clot to fix the damage.
