The Pacific: Culture, History, Geography and Language

Hi, in wga we were doing some reading learning and my group read about The Pacific: Culture, History, Geography and Language. Here is our learning about it...

Healthy and Unhealthy relationships

 Hello, in wga we have been learning about healthy and unhealthy relationships. We had this worksheet to fill out and these are my answers...

Relationships
Divide a slide or page into two columns headed up Healthy Relationships vs Unhealthy Relationships. Under each heading brainstorm words they think are linked.
Healthy	Unhealthy
Laughing Happy Joy Honest Trust Mutual respect Compromise Individuality Effective Communication Anger control Fighting fair Understanding Self - confidence Role modeling Positive behaviour	Yelling Screaming Arguing Angry Sad Dishonesty Control Violence Hostility Intimidation

Unhealthy relationships in school

School

Teachers

What is an Unhealthy relationship in school?

Being bullied and not being able to just do what you want to without being judged.

What is a healthy relationship in school?

Being taken care of and doing what you wanna do without being judged.

What should you do if you have an Unhealthy relationship?

By either talking it through, ending the relationship or saying something like I need to be myself and if you don’t like that we can’t continue on with this relationship.

Share -  On a blog post

• Define what a good relationship looks like to you?

• Who is someone that you class has a good relationship with and what are the characteristics that they demonstrate?

A good relationship to me looks like people being happy and enjoying each others company, being kind, nice and not rude. 

Nevaeh is someone in the class I have a good relationship with and her characteristics demonstrate being happy and goofy

What is Diffusion

Diffusion is when particles are moving from a high area to a low area of concentration.

The aim of this experiment is to see if hot / cold water will defuse particles the fastest.

Hypothesis:
I think hot water because it has more steam and heat so it will defuse particles faster.

Method:
1. Half fill your petri dish with cold tap water.
2. Place the petri dish on your work bench and allow the water to become settled.
3. Using the tweezers, place a single crystal of potassium permanganate in the center of the petri dish.
4. Observe for 5 minutes.
5. Repeat the experiment using hot water.

Results:
The hot water defuse the potassium permanganate fastest.

Conclusion:
In conclusion my hypothesis was correct and the hot water defused the potassium fastest.

Growth Mindset

In wananga this week we were learning about Resilience and having a growth mindset. Having a growth mindset consists of turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts.
For example:

I can't do this > I can't do this yet
                         I can use some strategies to try to figure it out how to do it.
                         I can ask for help

I give up > I can do this
                  I need to try again
                  I can't do this yet!

Business Studies

1. Explain what the production line is

It is when there is an arrangement that is manufactured  in a factory. 

2. Why was the production line revolutionary?

As well, since the assembly line simplified the manufacturing process, it meant that almost anyone could complete the work with relatively little training.

Finally, the increased efficiency of the assembly line allowed Ford to increase the basic rate of pay for his employees.

3. How does the production line increase productivity?

• #1 - Review Your Existing Workflow.
• #2 - Update Processes and Technology.
• #3 - Commit to Scheduled Maintenance.
• #4 - Train and Educate Employees.
• #5 - Organize the Workspace.
• #6 - Maintain Optimal Inventory.

4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the production line?

• Specialization of labor and capital
• Uniform product
• Initial cost
• Flexibility

5. Provide an example of a business that uses the production line. ( Do not use the ford model T )

Coca Cola

RJ licorice factory

Tsunami

In social studies we are learning about tsunamis. Here is our work...

The purple tower is New York times tower with a tsunami at 300 metres

The brown tower is Chrysler building with a tsunami at 310 metres

The blue tower is The bank of America tower at 360 metres

The grey tower is Empire state building at 450 metres

Ways to deal with a negative relationship or friendship

Hi, in health we are learning about relationships. The task we had to complete was a google drawing, poster or piktochart with ways you can deal with a negative friendship or relationship.

Here is my poster...

Sarah's decision

Hi, in business studies we are learning about scarcity and opportunity cost. Here is my picture of Sarah's decision. 

Science

Hi, I wasn't at school on Monday so i am here to explain what some words mean.

Solvent: The substance in which the solute dissolves


Solute: Substance being dissolved

Solution: A mixture that forms when one substance dissolves another

Dilute: To make a liquid less concentrated ( weaker )

Concentrated: A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent



The experiment we did on Monday was about how dilute a mixture can get when you take some from the first mixture which has a lot of colour in it because the potassium permanganate was put straight into it. We then took some of the mixture from the first solvent and added it into the second one which then became lighter. Then we took some from the second one and added to the third which became a lighter purple and when we did it one more time into the last one and the solution had pretty much no colour because it had barely any potassium permanganate so that made it less concentrated.

Chocolate chip banana muffins

Hi,
On Tuesday we made chocolate chip banana muffins. Some groups had to substitute one of the ingredients to something similar, but one group had to stick to the original recipe... my group replaced butter with oil. We made the mixture then put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes. When we took them out of the oven we let them sit for a little bit before we removed them from the tray. They tasted great but I think the bananas could have been mashed up a little more.

Zombies

Hi today I made a poster of 10 safety rules for a zombie apocalypse. Here is my poster...

Online relationships are not as important as real life relationships

Online relationships are not as important as real life relationships. In class we discussed if having an online relationship is not as important as having a real life relationship.

Having an online relationship can be risky but so can a relationship in real life. When having an online relationship you need to be cautious about who you are talking to because you might not be talking to who you think you think you're talking to. A real life relationship could turn out bad as well because people could be nice in person but mean through a screen. In conclusion I think that having an online relationship is as important as a real life relationship because we are all human no matter where or who we are we need to be there for each other. 

The Present Reflection

We watched a video called the present and i’m reflecting on what makes

the boy like the dog 

When the dog got put down on the table in the box the boy didn’t
think much of it because he was focused on his video games. His mum told
him to open the box and find out what was in it. So the boy opened the box to
find out what was in it and he saw the dog. He got really excited and then he
looked down at the dog and saw that he was missing a leg. His feeling went
from happy to disappointed because he didn’t like it. So he then threw the dog
onto the floor and then continued playing his video games. The dog was not
going to give up so he looked around the room and he saw a ball he went
running and get it but he hit his head on the draw it was under. He didn’t let
that stop him so he finally got the ball and took it to the boy. The boy didn’t
want to play with the dog so he just kicked the ball away but the dog went to
get it. He fell over a few times but he got it. Then he took it back to the boy.
The boy saw that the dog was not giving up and then he realized that the dog
was like him but he didn’t care. So he went outside and he started playing with
the dog and then he liked the dog.

Bullying

From the videos and the website that my teacher provided me with I was able to see how much bullying affected people. Bully's are making people go home and cry to their parents just because their bully is either jealous or taking their anger out on them. Bullying comes in three different ways, physical, verbal and social. 

People shouldn't have to hide their identity or sexuality to not get bullied, people just need to stop bullying. Some people are self conscious because they are getting bullied so they are scared to go to school. Kids being bullied wake up dreading going to school or even walking to school because they are afraid.

This is my self directed learning goals for this week:

1: I think that I need to be at school so I don't miss any work.

2: I need to have all my work up to date so that I don't need to catch up on any work.

3: I need to try and not fall behind on my work.

Workshop 2: The impact of Angles, Movement and Shots

Shot 1:

 Jack and Julien are fighting because Jack has chosen to stand up to Julien after he called Auggie a freak.

Shots / angles:

Dutch tilt - something is wrong.

Low angle - Makes person on top look stronger - Jack and person below look weak and vulnerable - Julien.

Viewers reaction - shocked, surprised, worried, concerned

-Jack had never stood up for Auggie before.

-Jack usually agrees with Julien

Directors purpose: 

- close up makes us feel more apart of the fight, see the characters emotions and reactions.

-uses techniques to build our concern / shock.

Other techniques - Slow motion - used to show us the details in the light - too fast otherwise.

-Music - slow tempo, dynamics increase from quiet to help us focus and create atmosphere.

(S-) In the fight scene between Julien and Jack, camera angles are effectively to draw the viewer into the scene. (E) This is demonstrated through the use of low angles, closeups and dutch tilt shots.The low angle shot makes Jack look stronger and more aggressive, whilst Julien looks weak and vulnerable below him. (X) This makes the audience feel concerned, shocked and surprised because up till this point Jack has always agreed with Julien. (X) The director did this to draw the viewer into the event and highlight Jack's struggle to choose between being right or being popular. (X) Combined with this is the use of slow motion and music which help us to see details on the characters faces and recognize their emotional reactions. (Y) This aspect can be compared to the use of close - up shots at the start of the film when we first meet August. They are both used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.

Workshop 1: Unpacking the themes and ideas

Kindness - Verbal / physical action that is nice, caring, using manners, respect.

Example 1- When Jack sticks up for Auggie during the fight scene with Julien.
Example 2 - When Amos and the others helps Jack ans Auggie fight the 7th graders.

Shows kindness - sticking up for a friend.

• Not letting others talk badly about friends.
• Jack has previously not been kind, talked about Auggie behind his back.

Important because - helps people make friends

• Builds a persons self confidence
• Makes people feel accepted / included
• If there wasn't kindness Auggie wouldn't have made any friends, grown his self confidence to be able to take off his helmet, feel included at Beecher prep.

Importance of family and friendship - Trust, trust of others, support systems, people you feel safe with, help build resilience.

Example 1 - When the Pullmans dog Daisy dies.

Shows theme - brings family together to grieve.

• Show support for one another
• Auggie and Via put aside their argument to look after each other.

Example 2 - The fight at the nature reserve where Amos and the other boys come together to rescue Jack and Auggie from the 7th graders.

Shows theme - support because they stand up for each other.

• Trust - the boys come to help them, they don't abandon each other.
• Resilience - the boys support each other to move forward, they are all friends now.

Important to the story - good relationships with friends help Auggie build trust and feel safe. He takes the helmet off.

• His friendship with Summer teaches him resilience, trust and forgiveness.
• His family are always there to support him when things go wrong at school.

Struggle between right  and popular - being right means showing integrity - doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

Being popular means agreeing with / acting in a way others want you to, even when you don't agree.

Example 1 - When Jack chose to stay with Auggie as his science partner instead of Julien.

Shows theme - Jack choses right over popular. Julien wanted to leave Auggie out and Jack chose not to.

• In the past Jack picked friendship with Julien over Auggie.

Example 2 - Summer decides to sit with Auggie instead of the popular girls who were talking behind Auggie's back.

Shows theme - Summer chose right - not to sit and talk nasty with her friends, but to go and sit with Auggie who was alone.

• Auggie doesn't trust her at first because of Jack Summer stays anyway and helps Auggie - link to importance of friendships.

Important to the story - the concept is relatable, everyone has to experience this so it helps to viewer to engage with the story.

• Makes kindness / relationships move obvious when we've seen the persons struggles.

Multi tool

We are going to improve pencil cases and where how you keep your stationary. Basically we are going to make a multi tool but with stationary so you stop losing your stuff. It will cost $150 each to make one and the products that we will combine are pen, pencil, rubber, twink, tape and sharpener and mini ruler. The stationary pieces in the multi tool can be changed if they run out.

The changes we are making, make it easier to access your stationary when you need it. No more looking through your pencil case trying to find what you need.
