Scientific Method

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the scientific method. A scientific method is a method that scientist uses to test things The scientific method has 6 steps. The first step was to ask yourself a question, then gather information for you to research. Next is step 3, to make a hypothesis ( and guess the answer), step 4, test your hypothesis. Step 5, analyze your test results and last of all step 6, present a conclusion. We are learning about the scientific method because we are doing a new challenge about scientist. What I think I did well was understand words that I didn’t know in a article. What I enjoyed was making a infographic to explain the steps with photos.

Here’s my infographic.

Quick Rip

Yesterday in Kerikeri the year 7&8’s went to play quick rip at the rugby field. What I need to improve on Is to tell my team to spread out and to remember to work as a team. I think we need 2 weeks of practice because my team only had 2 days of practices. We did good for only 2 days of practice. What I enjoyed was getting the ball so I can score a try. What I disliked was seeing my team arguing with one another because we weren’t listening. We played 3 teams, the first team we played was called Kerikeri 2 the second team we played was Rawene and the last team was TKKM Kaikohe. Hopeful we get another chance at going to another tournament.

Technology

Yesterday the year 7&8’s went to technology at Moerewa School. I learned how to make a apple crumble an a cottage pie. What I did well is working as a team with my buddy Emma. I enjoyed eating the cottage pie when it was finished because the smell was nice and it was lunch time. What I could do better next time is to add more vegetables in to what i’m making in week 8. I think making the cottage pie was the hardest because we had to add more ingredients into it than the apple crumble. Aslo the apple crumble was the easiest because all I had to do is make the crumble and stew the apples.

 

Kapa haka

Last week the Kapa Haka roopu performed at Kawakawa School. It was cool watching other kapa haka groups perform because it made me entertained. After each Kapa Haka group performed there were amazing songs to dance to as we were waited for the other roopu to go on stage. We felt so happy after we performed on stage. We have another performance coming up in Kaikohe, so hopefully we will enjoy ourselves like last week.
