Describe each character in detail. 

Policewoman: Played by Sophia, she is a mean woman who is overprotective of her job. She is bossy but is really good at her job.

Scientific Method

Scientific Method

WALT: safely conduct an experiment and explain the process and results using the scientific method.
This week we are going to conduct a science experiment using the scientific method to write up the results.  Use the class brainstorm from the jam board if you need extra help.

Question
What are you trying to find out?
Will it dissolve in water? 
Hypothesis
What do you think will happen?
  • Salt: yes
  • Pepper: no 
  • Sugar:  yes
  • Oil: no
  • Oats: no
  • Sprinkles: no 

I think that the salt and sugar will dissolve in water. I think that pepper, oil, oats and sprinkles will not dissolve in water. 

Materials
What will you need to do the experiment?
You will need:

  • Six cups
  • A pen or pencil
  • Sprinkles
  • Oats
  • Sugar
  • Pepper
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Measuring cups
  • Paper
Procedure
What steps will you take to do the experiment?
1.  Put six cups onto the table.

2. Label the six cups with pen/pencils, with what you will be adding to each cup.  

3. Add a spoon full of each ingredient into your one of your six labelled cups. (Repeat this for all six of the cups). 

4. Add half a cup of water into one of your cups.  Repeat this for all six of the cups. 

5. You then would have to use your spoon to mix the water and other material in the cup. 

6. Watch and see your results

Results
Ingredients  Dissolved Didn’t Dissolve 
Salt
Sugar 
Sprinkles 
Oil
Oats
Pepper 
Conclusion What did you find out? Was your prediction correct?
Yes our prediction was correct, we thought that the salt and sugar would dissolve in the water. We thought that the oil, oats, pepper and sprinkles would not dissolve in the water. What we found interesting was the sprinkles, the colour of the sprinkles dissolved but the sprinkles themselves did not. The water changed a dark colour with all of the colours merging together and we were left with white sprinkles at the bottom of the cup.

It smelt so good when we got back to shore and an hour later I was very happy to get back and see my family.We all sat down and talked about our journey  with the chefs. They were happy to see us after a month. We met a lot of other tribes. They gave us some food and we all ate together. It was so good we all ate and finished all our food  we thanked the cook and talked some more.

I was walking around looking at the sea when one of my friends grabbed me and started to talk.with me then someone came out with a cake to share with us we were so happy.  it was a strawberry cake and it was huge i was amazed at the size.I had never ate a cake before all for the kids ran up to me and asked for some i said “yes” .I love to share with the kids here they are so kind .The parents tanked me and took some.

Describing a Maori village

One day i was going for a walk when i saw a path leading up to a village.I saw a old group of people cooking some pipi the grandfather was holding a baby she was about one years old.It smelled like hangi it looked so yummy.I looked up and saw a lot more people they all said hi and a little girl showed me around.

 

I went to look in the marae with the girl. There was no one in there but it was big.When i went outside i looked at the sky and saw big fluffy clouds.The sky was a nice and light blue colour i have never seen. She showed  me all the houses and maraes. They were all nice. All the kids were so nice. I played with them for a little.

When they all called me to eat with them i did and it was so good.I love how kind they were i took  all the kids for a walk up the mountain and down.It was getting dark so i went home to sleep and the next day i went there again.All the kids were so happy to see me i was happy to see them.We played like we did yesterday I help them cook and ate with them.
