Tāne Māhuta - Social Studies

In social studies, we are learning about the different gods from Greek, Roman, Hindu, and Maori mythology. After we did research about a few of them we got to choose which one we were going to be looking at deeper and I chose to write about Tāne Māhuta. Since we were learning about a few different places mythology, I connected the diety of the gods and made a short description in this poster.

Music Reflection

What did you enjoy last term in Music?
I liked being able to learn to play the piano at my own speed. It s easy to understand and I could ask for help when I needed it.

What skills did you learn?
I learned how to play a couple of parts of songs on the piano. I found out how to somewhat read the music note for the piano.

Did you Perform?
Yes, I performed a mix of One Kiss, No Tears Left To Cry, and Perfect. I was reading them and noticed that when one of the songs ended it landed on the same note that the next song started on. 

Are you taking music next year? If so what instrument do you wish to focus on?
Yes, I signed up for music next year and if I am to get in I will be working on playing the drums. I do lessons and wish to continue working on them during class next year.

Plant Cells - Science

 

 

Large Vacuole - The Large Vacuole contains water as well as dissolved substances. Its main reason for being is to maintain pressure against the inside of the cell wall. It is also used to help support the plant and it gives the cells a shape.

Cell Wall - It is the ridge layer of polysaccharides around the outside of the cells of plants, animals, and more. It is used as protection from stress.

Cell Membrane - The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is found in both animals and plants. It is used to regulate the transport of things entering and exiting the cell.

Chloroplast - Chloroplast is an organelle within cells of plants and other things. It is the site of photosynthesis, which is the process by which energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for growth.

Cytoplasm - It is a thick, liquid the fills each cell and is enclosed in the membrane. It is the thing where all of the functions for cell expansion, growth, and replica. 

Nucleus - The Nuceuls is where we find all of the 46 chromosomes. The chromosomes are the holding place for the DNA.

Keyboard Reflection! - Music

 During the last few lessons of music, we had been learning how to play songs on the piano. I haven't played piano before so this was a new and different experience than what I was used to. The biggest thing I learned during this time was how to use all of your fingers while playing. It was much more difficult using both hands during the song cause I couldn't really focus on what I was doing. I liked the challenge.

Transcript - Art

 

In art class, we have been looking at captivating street art and focusing on what we found eye-catching out the piece. We also were working on doing transcriptions of other artist's works. Somethings I learned was how to look at the little details of people's artwork. When I look at art I don't really look into what the means and things are so I found out the little details made a big difference. Another thing is I now see the different types of this specific art. When I was searching for the artwork I found some that were similar but very different in some ways. It was very interesting, to say the least.

THE NUREMBERG LAWS - Social Studies

THE NUREMBERG LAWS - 

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews. 

“Jewish Patients were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldorf.”
“The Reich Propaganda Ministry issued a decree forbidding Jewish soldiers to be named among the dead in World War I memorials.”

2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)

One of the actions was that the Jewish people couldn’t be teachers or doctors so a lot of them lost their jobs. That was only a couple of them so when you think about the rest of them 

3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)

They wanted power so they decided to use the jews and get rid of them to spread fear. They wanted power and to gain that power they ruled by fear.

4. If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)

People wouldn’t stand for it mainly because we have become a multi-cultural country.
