I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.
Hi, In Hurumanu 8 Health we had some activities to do during the quarantine time. One of the activities in Health to choose from is Emotional Regulation activity. I made a slide with the task on it. It will also explain what it is if you didn't know. =)
Hi, this last week in Home Economics we are making Ginger Gems. The process we're a bit chaotic due to the typo that is in the recipe paper that we are following the rules in. Here's a slideshow I made if you are interested in how to make your own Ginger Gems:
The outcome was okay but it was a bit burnt as you can see in the picture.
I rate it 7/10, not too bad. What we could do better is that maybe we should pay attention to more to the instructions that we're given. Bye~ Have an awesome day!
Hi, This week in Home Economics, we baked cupcakes. We had 2 sessions on making the cupcake. Tuesday - baking the cupcake and Friday - Decorating the cupcake.
We had the challenge to try tricking the brain by not having the match colours to its flavour. You'll see on the slides down below that we had colour Blue icing but the flavour was Strawberry n' cream. In total, we baked, 12 cupcakes in total, we divided it into 4 people which is my team. We had 3 cupcakes each and we have to make the 3 cupcakes identical.
Here's a slideshow I made to show you how to make your own delicious cupcake:
The cupcake wasn't that bad, it was alright for me. But there are some problems we had because I think we overmixed the icing and the texture was lumpy and not fluffy. Maybe next time we should be extra careful on mixing things to make sure we don't over mix it.
Hi! This is a late post. In Home Economics we baked Spiced Apple Muffins. Here's a slideshow I made to show you how to make Spice Apple Muffins. Here ya go:
I rate the finished product 5/10. It's not too bad and good, just neutral. I think to make this better next time is maybe to be accurate and precise with the number of ingredients. But overall, it's not too bad.
Hi, Today in Hurumanu 3, Science we are learning about Chromatography. Chroma means 'colour' in greek. The purpose of this experiment is to see what are the different colours that one certain colour has. For this experiment, I chose the colour, Violet.
Aim: To separate pigment colors.
Hypothesis: I think mine will have a different variety of colours on it.
Method:
1. Get your Filter paper strip and cut it in half.
2. Choose a colour felt and draw a dot two fingers away from the bottom
3. Fill up your beaker about 50ml of water.
4. Place your filter paper in the side of the beaker.
5. Wait for a couple of minutes until the colour spreads.
Results:
My first colour results (Colour Violet)
There were Light blue and Pink popped up inside purple.
My 2nd colour results; I used Colour Black this time:
The colours that are in here are Orange, Purple, Blue, Sky Blue, and a little bit of pink.
Hi, This week in Hurumanu 3 - Social Studies, I learned about some biggest Earthquake around the world. There were a couple of biggest earthquake events had happened in the past and I have to choose 1 event and that is the Earthquake (+Tsunami) that had happened in Sendai Japan, On March 11, 2001 (which is the day yesterday). In our task, we ha dot do some sort of article about the incident. Here is an article I made using Google Drawing, I hope you like it =)
Second, our second task was to make a map graph about the biggest Earthquakes that had happen around the world. Here's my DLO:
Hi! This week in Health subject we are learning about the Taha Hinengaro side of Hauora. Meaning, Mental and Emotional wellbeing in English. We had a choice on which one to do research about, I picked the topic "Stress' to research. Based on our task, we have to list 3 helpful websites that could help you to cope with stress and here are links to some helpful websites.
Feel free to go to any links.
➣ Link 1
➣ Link 2
➣ Link 3
⤴ I recommend you to please watch this video explaining how stress affects you.
How does stress affect the four sides of your wellbeing/Hauora?
Let's first talk about Taha Tinana (Physical Wellbeing).
It can affect your body by tensing up your heartbeats, making you anxious and nervous causing you a lack of focus on your learning, and you might even have a lack of sleep. But stress doesn't necessarily cause bad things, it can also make you alarmed on a danger causing your body to move instantly.
Next, Taha Wairua (Spiritual Wellbeing).
There is a thing called "Spiritual Stress". What it does is that it loses your interest in life or just feeling lost and lonely. Not knowing what you wanted to do in the future or not having the same satisfaction you had before on some things that you enjoy.
Thirdly, Taha Whanau (Social Wellbeing). Stress can affect your relationships with your family or friends. If your stressed, you won't be able to think the straight or think through your actions, meaning you might say something unpleasant to them and this might be the cause for your relationship to end.
Lastly, Taha HInenagro (Mental & Emotional Wellbeing).
Stress can affect your emotions and how you think a lot. By overthinking and your all over the place, not managing your emotions pretty well, etc. Stress can change how you think, if it does not cope early, you might even change your personality. So make sure to seek out for help to others.
Conclusion, Stress can be both bad and good =)
Thank you so much for reading my post.
If you are stress, what are your ways to deal with it? Comment down below.
Hi, last week we made Pizza Swirls in Home Economics (Cooking). There were 4 people in my team and they are Janel, Lars, Vann and me. I couldn't say it was an easy-going procedure due to the problem of not having the right amount of an ingredient. Maybe next time, we could pay attention more to the instructions. But overall, it was fun to make Pizza Swirls.
I made a slide show on how to make your own Pizza Swirls.
Here's how to make your own Pizza Swirls:
The taste of our own made Pizza Swirls was good. It's not the perfect ideal taste due to the lack of time to bake it but It's not too bad too. I would rate it 7/10. =)
Have a great day!
Hello, Today in Hurumanu 3, we are learning about evaporation. The teacher gave us 3 questions to answer in our blog. Here are three questions:
1. Why a dissolved-solute cannot be filtered
2. What evaporation is? 3. How can evaporation be used to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution?
I did some research but here you go. Let's answer the easiest question. What is Evaporation?
Evaporation is an act turning liquid to gas. Like for example, In the water cycle, there is a part that the liquid or should I say ocean evaporates by the sunlight shining through it causing it to become clouds in the sky.
Next question, Why a dissolved-solute cannot be filtered? I think It can't be filtered because the solute has already dissolved and has mixed with the solvent, but it can still be filtered by evaporating it and it will leave out the dried solute.
Last but not the least, How can evaporation be used to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution. Just like I've answered at the top, you can evaporate it. Now how do you do it? You use bunsen burners or just flames but be careful and you basically just heat up the solution. Eventually, it will do the magic. Bye!

Hello! This week in PE (Hurumanu 7) we have finally finish all Athletics events and because of that, we've completed our Athletics Table Chart. In some events, I kinda failed it but in After section I kinda improve a bit. Here have a look:
Hello! This week and last week in Hurumanu 3 (Chaos Side) we are learning about a chaos incident back in the last decade. People mostly call it '9/11' due to the date of when the big accident happened. It occurred on September 11, 2001, in New York, America. Our task was to make a timeline on the main events that happened that unfortunate day. Here's my timeline:
Konnichiwa! I just wanna share my Year 9 Setting Goal This Year. Mostly this is about This Term 1 but some are whole year goal. Here have a look:
It was kind of tricky for me to select my goals because I don't really know what to focus on this year. How about you? What are your goals this year? Sayounara!~
Hi! I just wanna share something I did during the weekends. My little sister and I decided to bake cupcakes! She made the chocolate flavor one and I made the Vanilla one. We had fun making them but there are some struggles like getting the correct amount of ingredients. It was pretty easy-ish to make and here are some photos of our cupcake.
As you can see, some of the cupcakes have designs on them and you can really tell If It's Vanilla or Chocolate, that's because we mixed the leftovers that cant fit on the cupcake tray.
Hi, My name is Elisha, Today in Hurumanu 8 - (Health/Hauora) we are learning about Spiritual or Taha Wairua in Maori. Taha Wairua is one of the 4 sides of Hauora. It's about finding who you are, your beliefs, direction or your purpose in life. We watched a video of Ed Sheeran making a speech about spiritually related things after winning an award.
Here's the video:
Ed Sheeran's key values and beliefs in this video are...
Beliving that you don't have to change yourself for other people's acceptance. Instead, embrace yourself for who you are. If your weird, keep being weird. Just be who you are and you don't need to feel ashamed of it. Ed's Taha Wairua is growing up pretty well because he has this kind of attitude to accept his own flaws and for who he is.
Hi, Today I'm gonna be blogging about what we are doing in Hurumanu 3 (Social Studies & Science). I'm gonna be talking about Social Studies one. We did a poster about the Top 10 rules to survive a Zombie apocalypse. Here's the poster I made. Hope you like it.
Aim: To experiment with which one dissolves the more in water, baking soda or salt.
Hypothesis: I think Baking Soda will dissolve more.
Equipment:
-Salt
-Baking soda
-1x 250 ml beaker
-100 ml measuring cylinder
-Stirring rod
-1x teaspoon
-1x ruler
-tap water
Water - 80 ml
Method:
1. Fill the beaker with 100 ml tap water
2. Add a teaspoon of baking soda and use a ruler to slide down the extra baking soda at the top.
3. Stir the solution until all the baking soda dissolves.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until no more baking soda will dissolve into the solution.
5. Record how many teaspoons of baking soda were added.
6. Repeat the experiment with salt this time.
Results:
Solute:
Number of Spatula until it doesn’t dissolve:
Baking Soda
14
Salt
22
The results were... We put 14 scoops of Spatula in Baking Soda until it stops dissolving. Salt, on the other hand, Salt got to 22 scoops of Spatula until It doesn't dissolve anymore.
In conclusion, Salt Won! Yay...It turns out that Salt can dissolve more than the Baking Soda can.
My Hypothesis was wrong...I thought Baking Soda would dissolve more than salt at first because I thought it would do a chemical reaction of some sort like fizz but I was wrong. It only works on Vinegar and not water. Maybe next time we will put Baking soda in hot water to get better results.
Hi, Happy Valentine's everyone!
I'm back again blogging about Home Economics (Cooking) session today on Friday.
We cooked savory bread cases.
The Ingredients are:
Grated Cheese, Beans, Ham, White Bread or Brown Bread, can spaghetti, butter, and muffin tray.
Equipment:
Bread knife, Sharp knife, cutting board, and a teaspoon and an oven.
Methods:
1) Get your piece of bread and cut the crust off by using a bread knife.
2) Put some butter on one of the sides of the bread. 3) Put your bread upside down inside the muffin tray. Make sure the butter side will touch the muffin tray so that it won't get stuck there later on taking off.
4) After that, Bake your bread for 5 mins. Make sure to put it in Fan Bake and 200.
5) While it's baking prepare your feelings that your goanna put inside. You can put whatever you like as long as It will fit inside the bread.
6) Take out your bread from the oven make sure to use baking gloves so you don't burn yourself.
7) Place the bread onto the table, make sure to put something under it so the table won't burn itself.
8)Fill your bread with the kinds of stuff you want inside. I recommend putting those following stuff above and put grated cheese over everything else.
9) Bake it again for a bit longer this time.
10) Enjoy your food.
Stress can affect your relationships with your family or friends. If your stressed, you won't be able to think the straight or think through your actions, meaning you might say something unpleasant to them and this might be the cause for your relationship to end.
