Kelly sport-Rugby league

Room 13 had an exciting morning as our class had Kelly sports Rugby League.  All of our class had tried techniques some of us weren’t so confident about but He who stands, lives and He who sits, perishes. There were different warm ups and may I say my knees burn. The first warm up was like Bull rush. As an example we need to crawl on our knees and someone will tackle us and if we fall on the floor we become a tagger. Afterwards we repeated this game but on our feet. Of Course I got bumped off and fell on my back but I had fun. Likewise this was good practice for the people who are going to the rugby tournament this week. Sometime later on it had turned into a game boys vs girls. Us girls had 1 point but then the coaches changed it to mixed teams. On the other hand people turned on their pro mode and went to try hard. In the end all of us had enjoyed our time we had.

Orange and water experiment

Title: Orange and water experiment

Hypothesis/Prediction (What I think will happen and why?)

My Hypothesis is that it will sink due to the weight of the orange

Equipment/Materials

A bucket of water and a orange

Method

Fill up your bucket and then grab your orange and see if it sinks or not.

When you see if it sinks or floats, peel your orange and see if it is different to your last result.

Evaluation

When we put the orange in it floated and it was different to my prediction. After we had peeled the orange and put it in it sank so the I was also right.

 

Air pressure experiment

Title: Air pressure experiment 

Purpose:

To understand air pressure.

Hypothesis/Prediction (What I think will happen and why?)

My hypothesis is that the air pressure from the hair dryer will make the ping pong ball float. The reason I think it will float is because the air will be pressing against the light ball that will lift the ball making it float.

I think all that would happen is that the ping pong ball will just float depending on the pressure of the air.

Equipment/Materials

A hair dryer and a ping pong ball.

Method

Grab a hair dryer, and a ping pong ball. Basically all you need to do is plug the hair dryer in, place the ball on top then turn it on. Now the ping pong ball should float.

Discussion

Once I plugged the hair dryer in and turned it on. I put the ping pong ball on it and it started floating. Once it floats for an average amount of time it starts to stay stiff in the air.

 

SLW Recount writting

SLW recount

Team tui was split into three groups. The first group was tapa and Siva. The second group was the coconut/kava bowl group. The third group was the information report group. I was in the information report group. What we had to do was select a topic to write about Samoa and research then write about our subject. My subject was about tattoos and geography. First I wrote about geography and a little about the population. Also I added American Samoa and how it became American Samoa. Then after that I wrote about Samoa’s traditional tattoos and where they are tattooed on the body. When I was done I helped Nyse finish what wasn’t.
