Women Suffrage - tic tac toe

 Yesterday in Nga Tangata we started looking at women suffrage. The group I am in has to read 3 articles about Kate Sheppard. After we read the articles we have to do an activity. The activity is a tic tac toe(do 3 in a row). I asked my teacher if I could do a Kahoot with my friend about women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. The other tasks I did were list 2 things you're learnt from the text and your opinion about the text. Here is the work I did(not the kahoot). 

Science - Yeast Alive Film

 Today in science we are doing Yeast Alive Film. On Thursday we are making ginger beer. Yeast is alive in a hibernation state. Yeast is a fungi. The experiment we are doing is with a bottle, yeast and a balloon. We have to get into groups of three.

Experiment:
Here is the yeast experiment with a bottle, yeast and a balloon. The experiment is done in 3 bottles. Let's see what happens after 20 minutes.

Aim:
To look at how yeast is used in foods.

Research:
What effect does sugar have on yeast?
- The chemical reaction between yeast and sugar produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.

What is fermentation?
- A simple way of an expansion of fermentation is that it is a chemical reaction. 

What are 3 foods/drinks that have yeast?
1. Bread
2. Ginger beer
3. Crackers 

Equipment:
- Spoons
- Kettle
- Bowl
- Beaker
- Cloth sieve
- Funnel
- Plastic Bottle

Materials:

Bug (groups of 3)

- 50ml
- 1/2 tsp to active dried yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Ginger beer (for 1 litre)

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1L cold water
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp ginger beer bug.

 Method:

1. Ina large bowl, put sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm water.
2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water.
3. Add the ginger beer bag to the large bowl of cold water.
4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle.
5. Label your bottle with your group names.
6. Place all the bottles in the class container.
7. Store in a cool, dark place for one week before drinking.
8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape. 

The ginger beer must be dunk over the 6 days.

You must provide your own bottle.

We wanted to see how yeast was best activated. To do this we used 3 conical flasks, a teaspoon of yeast in each one, some warm water in each one and some sugar in one flask. We then put a balloon on the top of each flask. We found out that the flask that had the yeast and sugar inflated the balloon. It showed that when yeast has sugar it activates and creates a case called carbon dioxide gas.

Women Suffrage

 Today in Nga Tangata we are learning about women suffrage and Kate Sheppard. I have learnt about women suffrage before. We looked at some videos about Kate Sheppard. After we watched the videos we shared back with the teacher. Then after sharing with the teacher we have to define some words in our own words. After we did that we have to do a comprehension. The comprehension is about women suffrage. After we read the article it came with we have to answer some questions. Here are the definitions and the answers to the questions.

Definitions:
Parliament: Parliament means a group of people in the government. 

Suffrage: Suffrage means wanting the right to vote.

Convince: Convince means trying to make someone do something/agree. 

Prohibitionist: Prohibitionist is someone who prohibition.


Answers:
The year that Maori men could vote is in the 1867s.

The reason why men thought women should not vote is because they thought they should be in the kitchen, keeping the house clean and looking after the kids. Another reason why they thought women should not vote is because they thought women should stay home and cook

The statement drinking their wages means that the men would go out the spend their wages on alcohol.

The WCTU help the poor by visiting hospitals, prisons and also setting up a soup kitchen to help men not spend their wages on alcohol.

The main forms that they used in their protests were giving out newspapers, leaflets had meetings and also held huge protest gatherings with inspiring speeches. 

The reason why she is on our 10$ note is so we can remember her and what she did. 

Using Images With Permission

 Today in Tuhura we are learning about using images with permission. We had to watch a video about how to get pictures that are free to use. After we watched the video we have to do an activity. The activity is making a drawing of all about you. The way you can get photos for free is by searching for whatever you want. After you search for whatever you want, go and click tools on the side and then click usage rights. When you click usage rights you go and click creative commons licenses. The reason why it is good to use them that is because you won't get copyrighted or get a fine. Here is the work I did. 

I didn't know who to do for my hero so I just did a person I watch

Soviets Declares War On Japan; Invades Machuria

 Each week in Wānanga we have to do a task. The task is what happened on that day. I choose to do for the day is 8th of August, I choose to do it when Soviets declares war on Japan. I choose to do it on slides. I went on slidesgo and got a template to use. I haven't used slidesgo before. We can choose what site we do it on. Here is my work.

Masterton - Part 2 Snowing

 Today in Wānanga we have to do a 200-word challenge. The reason we have to do a 200-word challenge is because it started snowing. For the 200-word challenge, I decided to make it another part of the Masterton/Mather story. I did 202 words. Here is part 2/writing and a photo of what it is supposed to look like. 

It was a very cold day in Masterton. Everyone wanted to stay inside and not go to school. If you were home you would have your fire on and having a hot drink. I had to go to school though. It was close to period 2. There were light showers throughout the day so far. Some of the showers were rainy and some of them were light snow. When it was period 2 there were also other light snow showers but then it was actually snowing. In Masterton, it rarely snows here so this is a one time experience. The last time it snowed here was around 9 years ago. Everyone at the school I am going to goes out to see the snow if they are allowed to. I didn't go out to feel the snow but I did see it. After it finished snowing it was clear for a bit but then there was light snow. Soon the light snow stopped and it started to rain. In between the rain, there were bits of snow in it. When it was raining the sun came out. For some reason, you can see the sun but it is raining with light snow.

Drama - Five Elements

 Today in Drama we have looked at the five elements. We are learning about them because we will be using them when we play later in the term. All of the elements initials together say FARTS. F stands for focus. A stands for action. R stands for role. T stands for tension. Lastly, S stands for space. The character I choose to do was Shouko Nishimiya. Shouko Nishimiya is from an anime. The anime is a silent voice. In the anime, Shouko is trying to make friends with the people in her class. All the people in the class she is in don't like her (Middle school). In the anime, it is placed in middle school and high school. She is being bullied.
