my finish painting



Why did I choose this character?  Because I was trying to make a young version of Yoda.
what is he doing? Young Yoda is reaching high for the stars.
Why did I choose The colours?  I tried to do a sunset and do building the colour of real ones and the yellow is for the lights.

I think I got Achieved

100 word challenge 2017

 It was the day that I come back to Earth after 65 years. I was so excited to see Captian and the rest of the crew. As I hit the first few layers of Earth I was to nerves but happy to be back. Finally, I close my eyes as I land. I ran out of my spaceship and yell " IM BACK!!" but its silent. I cry" My city, my town WHAT HAPPENED!" My country was ruined because its all gone. When I was a child it was perfect. I'm going to find everyone and restore my home.

Quail Island / Otamahua


Quail Island is south-east of Christchurch New Zealand.
the Maori used the island to collect seabird eggs.
It held people that were sick or had leprosy. They were also held for two weeks when they came to NZ just in case they had contracted a disease on their way here.


We have resources natural and not natural on the Island. They have made it predator-free and how it looked like when it was found.

The Doc has heaps of successes and problems such as its kinda predator-free as it still has rats and deer still come over. they have most of the native birds there and some trees, bush etc.

I love it at Otamahua as it is native and so interesting. The ride there was breathtaking.


When the Maori people first settled in Quail island it wasn't much use to them as there wasn't any water source except the beach but it was a good source of food

Later on, in early 1800 the Warder brothers brought the island and started a farm there. Unfortunately, they drowned not long after.

No one was occupying the island so it was used to quarantine people with illnesses like leprosy. It also was a good place to train dogs for expeditions to Antarctica. When steamboats were invented fewer people got sick and nobody needed the island.

The Erupting Volcano

The Erupting Volcano

Aim: to see which vinegar and baking soda method makes the best volcanic eruption.

Hypothesis: I think the second trial with the warm water will be the most effective.

Method: see each trials directions.

In pairs, you need to build a volcano from paper mache. It must have a measuring stick inserted directly up from the crater opening and a bottle in the volcano's mouth.


  • Newspaper
  • Base
  • Bottle
  • Ruler/stick
  • Paste



Image result for volcano model

Equipment: 

  • Measuring flask
  • Medium Beaker
  • Stirring rod



Vinegar in the bottle first
For erupting volcano projects using this technique, a liquid mixture is put in the bottle first. Baking soda is added through a funnel, or wrapped in tissue paper and forced in the bottle opening. Hot water is used in some, not in others, and most all use a colouring material of some type to make our simulated lava look more realistic. Here are some of the recipes we tried.

Trial 1
Ingredients:
  1. 50ml vinegar 
  2. 2 tablespoons baking soda
  3. 5 drops of food colouring
  • Place the vinegar in the bottle. This can be done before the bottle is put inside the model volcano in case you want to prepare ahead of time, otherwise, a small funnel works just fine. 
  • Stir the baking soda and enough jelly chrystals mix to make a pinkish powder. 
  • Use a funnel to add it directly into the bottle. The goal is to get the baking soda into the vinegar as fast as you can. Stand back and watch what happens – Erupting Volcano!

Trial 2
  1. 200ml warm water
  2. 50ml vinegar 
  3. 2 tablespoons baking soda
  4. 5 drops of food colouring

  • Fill the bottle about 2/3 full with very warm water. 
  • Add vinegar to the bottle. 
  • Mix the baking soda and Jelly together to make the mixture a light pink. When ready for the erupting volcano, add the powder to the vinegar all at once using the funnel. The reaction can be quite fast, so add the soda mix quickly and stand back so everyone can see.

Trial 3
  1. 200ml warm water
  2. 50ml vinegar 
  3. 6 – 8 drops liquid dish soap
  4. 2 tablespoons baking soda
  5. 5 drops of food colouring

  • Add the vinegar and dish soap to the water 
  • Mix the baking soda and jelly together until the mixture is pinkish in colour. 
  • To initiate the erupting volcano project, add the soda mixture to the vinegar all at once using the funnel. Stand back so everyone can see the erupting volcano.

Let's try it this time with Baking Soda in the bottle first not vinegar......

but there's more...

Salt!

kete breakfast

What did I learn from this experience?
I learned that you have to wake up early and I like sleep so no.

 How did I contribute?
I made the hot chocolates also made sure people were safe.

What else could I have done?
I could have helped people that needed to clean up.

What else could I have done to improve the breakfast?
 make hot chocolates faster and earlier.

Did my personality suit my roles?
I think they did, I did the drinks and first aid.

Where were the weaknesses?
I think some people weren't doing anything that had jobs, also people could have done more.
