Health

 Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for health. In health, we have been learning about sleep, healthy food, and exercise for teens. After learning about sleep, healthy food, and exercise we have to share two facts about each one. Two facts about sleep are that 12% of people's dreams are in white and black and that humans spend 1/3 of their life asleep also teens need about 8-10 hours of sleep and sleeping can help with growth with the body. Two facts about healthy foods are if you eat correctly it can reduce the chance of getting some cancers also eating healthy can improve your mood. Two facts about exercise are that if you exercise regularly you can reduce the chance of getting heart disease also exercise can improve brain performance.

That is it goodbye

Persuasive Writing

 Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for hur3. In hur3 we have been doing persuasive writing. The meaning of persuasive writing is a form of writing in which the writer uses words to convince the reader that the writer's opinion is correct. The topic that we writing about is if fire works should be banned.

Here is my persuasive writing.

Why I Think Fireworks Should Be Banned

Do you like fireworks? Of course, you do! But do you know how dangerous they can be?

Firstly they can be very dangerous to people, animals and the environment. If they go wrong they can burn the grass around them and cause fires or even kill or injure people or animals. If they go off track and go into some dead grass it could end up starting a big fire. it can also damage Property.

Secondly, they are annoying when you try to sleep and the noise can also shock animals and sometimes make them hurt themselves. The noise can also damage your hearing and sometimes you can go deaf.  

Lastly, If you mess up you could end up hurting yourself or someone else that is close by. You can burn yourself or could damage your eyesight which could lead to you being blind. It could also make animals go blind due to it being too bright. If your curtains are bad then the light from the fireworks could brighten up your room and keep you awake. 

Because of these reasons i believe that fireworks should be banned

Drama: Maui and the Fish

 Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for drama. In drama, we have been doing a Freeze frame about Maui and the fish. 

Here is a video of me and my group doing the freeze-frame.

My group is the one that is the second farthest to the right. We did 3 freezes the first one is Maui hiding in the boat the second one is Maui pulling the fish to the Surfers. The last one is the brothers taking some of the fish's meat.

Something that worked well is that you could tell what we were doing with our bodies.

If I got to improve something the next time I perform I would make it so that my group is a little bit less silly.

 Our transitions were pretty fast between freeze frames.

Litmus Paper test

Peppers

 Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for science. In science, we have been learning about peppers. Now I'm going to share what we learned about peppers.

1. Why is peppers hot: Peppers are hot because of a chemical component named capsaicin

2.The top 6 hottest pepper are:

• Carolina Reaper 2,200,000 SHU. 
• Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 2,009,231 SHU. 
• 7 Pot Douglah 1,853,936 SHU. 
• 7 Pot Primo 1,469,000 SHU. 
• Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T” 1,463,700 SHU. 
• Naga Viper 1,349,000 SHU. 

3.What is a Scoville Chilli scale: The Scoville scale is a measurement of the spiciness or "heat" of chili peppers

Here are some peppers

To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chilies teste in your mouth when eating chili

I think that by using ....... I will be able to remove the chili taste from my mouth

The equipment we will use:

1 milk

2 water

3 coca-cola

4 tasting cup

5 chili

The results Of the test are:

Milk had a small effect on the chili. after 3 minutes it took the whole taste away 

Coke had a small effect on the chili. Coke worked well after 3 minutes and removed the taste totally

water did not remove the chili at all. After 3 minutes it removed the taste slightly

Conclusion

milk could be a solution when eating cpicy foods - literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chili pepper. capsation binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. casein protein found In milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.

Blind taste test

Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for science. In science, we had to do a blind taste test, after we taste one of the foods we have to say if it was Sweet, sour, bitter, salty. Then we have to put the information in a doc. Also, the equipment that we use is: 1-9 samples, Blindfolds, Recording chart, and ice cream stick taster

Also, the method we used is:

Pair up with someone then one of the people that are in the pair will have put on the blindfold then the other person will need to guide the person to one of the samples. After some time the pairs will switch rules.

Then after they taste the samples they will write if it was sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. Then they will try to guess what they have just eaten.

Friends

 Hi everyone welcome to my blog,

I'm going to share what we have been doing for WGA. In wga we have been learning about friends. After we learned about friends we have answer 3 questions the question are:

1. What is Taha Whānau? : Taha whānau is about who makes you feel like you belong, who you care about, and who you share your life with

2. Why are 'good friend' relationships so important?: Good friends are good because they would help you in difficult times.

3. Why is Respect so important for all (not just friends) of our relationships? Because if there was no respect in relationships that relationship will probably end up being a bad one.
