culture barrier

 Today we read a poem, In this poem there was a problem aka a culture barrier. There is a person named Hinewirangi, and another person. the problem is she/he doesn't know how to pronounce the name. Hinewirangi tried to teach him/her but the name was to hard. Why?. because one was maori and one was a different culture. Different culture, different accent. this means it is sometimes hard to pronounce something in that culture. After we read this poem we answered some questions, about the poem.

Yr 7/8 extension

 

Task Description: Today Miss West gave us a scenario then gave us some questions. We then answered those question together in a document. After this we got into a pair of two so we can work on a project throughout the term. My buddy is Kalani. We have decided to research and look into different planets that we can inhabit and future inventions to get us there. We also want to look into new inventions that can establish our selves on that planet.

Ice Experiment

 

Task Description:we had to do an experiment on which material will keep the ice cube the coldest and we measured the time and how much water there was when it melted. To make it a fair test we put the ice in at the same time, put the cups in the same place and used the same size ice cubes. Some of our measuring of the water was a bit off though.
