Science Story Time

Hello fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today's blog post is about the different types of sentences and I will also be sharing my story with you. So for this task we were told to use multiple different sentences some of these being w- start, adverb start and short sentence.

We had to add 1 W- Start sentence a W- Start sentence is a sentence that starts with where, while, when etc. The next thing we had to add was 2 adverb starts. Adverb starts are sentences that start like this, Carelessly, she slammed the door, Quietly the dog whimpered etc. Once we had added those we had to add one short sentence which as you can imagine is a sentence with no more than 5 words, but the sentence has to make sense and has to have everything that a normal sentence would have.

This is the piece of work that I have created.

I felt his hands go cold and watched his eyes roll into the back of his head. Unfortunately, I watched him die. While this was happening, his parents were all happy in Bali. I couldn't believe them. Quietly, I embraced my father in a hug and wished to never leave.

So that is my piece of work I hope you enjoyed reading it.

Early Encounters In Aotearoa

For Who are we ? hurumanu we have been learning about New Zealand's history this is what I have learnt so far.

The first European explorer to arrive in Aotearoa was Abel Tasman he arrived in 1642 he named the land Nova Zealandia this was the first running into with Māori and it did not go well. The next European that arrived in Aotearoa was James Cook. he arrived in 1769 the chief navigator's name was Tupai. The Europeans brought pigs, potatoes, rats and diseases. The Māori and Australians exchanged things to get more valuable and necessary items and also they got not so necessary items one of them being muskets [Guns] and alcohol. 

There ended up being a war called the musket wars some people wanted to name it potato wars as it was also about potatoes as the Māori needed potatoes because it gave the warriors more nutrients and also they could travel for longer with out running out of food. These wars ended up ending in the 1830's. 

This Is Just To Say

Hello fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today we had to make a poem. This poem was based off a poem by Williams Carlos Williams called This Is Just To Say. We had to think about the worst thing that happened in our life and then we had to take parts out of his poem and turn them into the worst thing that happened in our life. We had to keep the shape of the poem the same though.
Here is my poem.

Hope you liked the poem.

How To Preserve Meat ~ Scientific Method.

Today in science we are learning to preserve meat by using different methods, for this task we had to focus on one method i'm focusing on salt curing.

Aim ~ The aim of today's task is to learn how to preserve meat by salt curing.

Method ~  You grab the salt and rub it on either side of the thing you are planning to salt cure.

Equipment :
~ Salt ~
~ The thing you are salt curing ~
~Seasoning [ optional ]~
~Paper towels~
~Knife~

Prediction ~ I predict that by salt curing the meat it will draw moisture out of it also adding a salty flavour into the mix.

Instructions :
1. Wash your hands.
2. Rub salt on the object you are salt curing.
3. You hang the salted object up with string.
4. Then you leave it for about a week to dry.
5. Once this is done you take it down from the string and eat it.

Discussion~
What happens to the object once it has been salt cured ?
The object no longer has bacteria if it held it and the object will have obtained a salty flavour. This will also dry out the meat as salt draws out moisture.

What will happen if you put to much salt on the object?
It may become extremely dry and the salt will crystallise on the object.

Results ~ Fill this in once done with experiment.

Book Of The Road

A couple of days ago we were told about something that our class will be doing called "Book Of The Road ". We are working with a buddy class the school's name is St Peter's it is a private school and it is located in Cambridge.

The first thing we did to get involved with this was answer the question what is empathy on a app called answer garden. We will be exchanging different activities with St Peter's.
The thing that I am looking forward to is meeting and finding out about new people.
