In English, we had to make a slideshow/ presentation on aspects that were in a film that we had to choose. I picked the short film The crush.
I described 7 aspects and something about it.

In Metal, we have been tasked to make mini vice. It took us two terms to make these and it was fun.

First, we cut out 2 pieces of aluminium metal then we covered it in engineering blue. After we filed the corner off then polished it.
After that, we used the lathe to make our bar and we had to make the bar 6mm in width.
Then we threaded it to make this.
When I was using the lathe I got confused but I managed to use it and shape off my bar.

We then made another bar and so that it supports the aluminium bar when the mini vice is used.

Treaty Research.

Who was the Treaty between? Māori and Europeans

How long was the Treaty binding for? Since 1840 (179 years old)

What are the positives and negatives of being bound in a treaty?

Positives Giving an extension for time for written submissions was "quality engagement" by the Government. “Well done”. Protection against the sale of Maori land will remain strong through a 75 per cent threshold for agreement among owners. The Government's recognition of landlocked land, and rating and valuation issues (although "belated") was commended. Countries trying to gain independence.

Negatives There were consultation flaws. The consultation hui in June last year breached legal standards, there wasn’t sufficient time or information for “meaningful participation” by Maori. If there is not more, properly informed and broad support for the bill, then the Government is in breach of the Treaty. Musket wars, Diseases, Drunken Sailors. Land and property of Maori being taken from them.

Are there any obvious similarities with people affected by the Treaty you have researched and those affected by the Treaty of Waitangi? Musket wars, Diseases, Drunk Sailors, British trying to take over, Scotland and New Zealand trying to gain independence, Land and property of Maori.

Ideas of presentation  Musket wars, Diseases, Drunk Sailors, British trying to take over, Scotland and New Zealand trying to gain independence, Land and property of Maori.

Risk or challenge

 In camp, we were put into groups. We got to go out and do fun things like hiking, orienteering and nightline. Nightline was the most challenging thing I’ve done at camp.

The nightline was the most challenging out of all of them because we had to be blindfolded and could not see anything. first, we had to walk to where we will be doing the nightline blindfolded and that was challenging. Everyone was holding on to each other’s shoulders and we formed a chain so it would be easier and we could help each other. When we got to the nightline we had to hold on to a wire. The wire went all around the forest and the risky bit was trying to get to the end because the wire went around trees, under trees and through the roots. The hard bits were when we had to go around big trees and we had to bear hug them to follow the rope and we had to reach under the roots and that was hard because the wire was tangled in the roots. but walking back was also challenging because we had walk back in the dark and that was scary.

I was feeling nervous and anxious when we were doing the nightline because I didn’t want to walk into a tree and hurt myself. I felt butterflies in my stomach during the nightline and our hands were very sweaty. I was feeling very scared and didn’t want to do it anymore but I kept going. I was feeling very happy too because every time I would run into a tree me and the guy next to me would laugh and carried on following the line. I knew the guy next to me was scared because his hands were sweaty and he was holding tight to my hand.

When we were doing the nightline we were told to follow the line and walk through the forest blindfolded. My heart was pounding because I was so scared, I was scared because I thought someone was gonna come and kidnap us. While we were walking through the forest blindfolded I hit my head on trees and almost fell over because of the big rocks that were there. Those rocks were massive. Every time we would reach a tree the person at the front will yell out to the rest to watch out. Everyone was holding hands, that made it easier to move around and we can help each other. I was the one at the front and I regretted it because I kept running into trees.

Eventually, we made it to the end. I was so relieved that we had made it to the end then it was time to go back to the cabins. Once we got back to the cabins I went straight to the bunks and lay down.

"Movies are better than books". (Persuasive Writing )

Introduction:
I think that movies are better than books because they are easier and much better than reading a book.

P1
I think that movies are better than books because movies are easier than reading books.
For example, watching movies all you have to do is sit and watch far better than sitting there reading in your head. Watching movies can be more interesting than reading books because when watching a movie you have people acting in it but in a book, there are hardly any pictures or videos.  Some movies are just books that producers made into movies like Harry Potter. There a 7 Harry Potter films and I reckon that they are way better than the 7 Harry Potter books. I reckon most people would pick movies over books but some people really like books and they would pick books over movies.

P2
Movies are usually the reason why the books are famous. I didn't even know that there were Harry Potter books until recently but I reckon that it is not as fascinating as the movies. But movie producers often leave out stuff that happened in the book. Probably cause there was not enough room on the script or the producer just didn't want to add it to the movie. The producer has to give credit to the author that wrote the book because without the book there would be no movie and without movies, we would have to go back to reading books and reading books can be boring at times. In schools, We are to read books in class and would have to write essays about the book and what's it about.

P3
Nowadays some books read to you. Yes, talking books. Talking books are not as fun as movies because you would have to imagen what's happening in the book instead of watching it in film. Self-reading books are usually used for kids that are 5 and under because at that age you would not be able to read because their brains have not matured yet but they would have found that boring. Kids under five would probably pick to watch a movie than listen to a book that is read to them.


Conclusion.
Therefore I strongly believe that movies are better than books cause movies are more interesting and more fascinating than having to use your imagination when reading a book.

"Team sports are better than individual sports."

Team sports are better than individual sports because in team sports you have someone to support you and in individual sports you have no one to support you. Let say you were playing rugby, you have 14 other men to support in and you don't have to do everything by yourself. You can also meet new a lot of new people when playing teams sports instead of meeting one person per game when playing individual sports. Team sports are way better to play because you get to play beside your friends but if you were playing individual sports you would have to verse another opponent by yourself and that's not fun. There are a lot of team sports games like Rugby, soccer, football, basketball, hockey and volleyball they all have at least over 6 players on the court/field. I think that the hardest team sport is soccer because you would have to have good leg skills.


Individual sports are also fun but challenging. When playing individual sports you would have no one to support you or have your back when playing and that's what makes it challenging. Individual sports are played less because people find it hard and challenging to play. There are a lot of individual sports games like Tennis, ping pong, billiards, golf and snooker. All these games are played individually but some of these games can be played in pairs/ doubles. Individual sports are usually hard when played individually like golf. The others can be played in pairs for example tennis, ping pong and billiards.
I think that the hardest individual sport is golf because you would have to be really good when hitting and you would have to be good when aiming.

Pasta ( Economics)

We made pasta on Friday last week.
Teamwork

We worked very well and everyone did something to help. 

Tasks
we had to cook pasta. the sauce was half made and all we had to do was cook onions and chuck them in. Then we eventually made pasta with a nice red sauce.

Volcanoes

Pick a well-known volcano in the world. Where is it, what is its name, is it extinct, dormant or active?
Where is it? It is located in Japan

What is its name? Mount Fuji
Is it extinct? No 

Dormant or Active? Mount Fuji is still active. 

What type of volcano is it? How are these types formed, include a diagram of what they look like? Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano

What are the types of rock formations around this volcano?
basaltic

Plan your model. What are you going to make it out of, how will you make it erupt, what landscape will you paint on it. Who will bring what?

We will be using coke and mentos to erupt our volcano.


Our Volcano did not work because we drank the coke and there was not enough coke for the reaction to work

'The South island is better than the North island.'

I strongly disagree because I think that the North Island is better than the South islands because the North Island has much better things such as buildings, houses & etc. The South Island is for sure the biggest out of the two but I think that the North Island is better because

The north island is where many tourists come and visit. They mostly come over to see our lands and our buildings mostly the sky tower some tourists come over to watch rugby or they came to represent their country as they go up against the mighty All Blacks. The sky tower is the tallest building in New Zealand and has attracted the eyes of many people from other countries. The North Island is most known for its views and its land structures. North Island is also well known because that's where the capital city of New Zealand stands at the bottom.

In the North Islands, there's a place called Hobbiton and that's where Lord of the rings and the Hobbit were filmed. Hobbiton is where most tourists come and visit and take pictures of the little houses that were in the Hobbit/LOTR. The North Island has been visited more times than the south island.

Science (Volcanoes)

What is pumice?

a very light and porous volcanic rock formed when a gas-rich froth of glassy lava solidifies rapidly.

How does it form from Volcanoes?
The vesicles are actually gas bubbles that were trapped in the rock during the rapid cooling of a gas-rich frothy magma.

What are its properties?

stone
How is it like Hockey Pockey?
They make bubbles when they cool.

How did we make it, and get it foamy?
Ingredients
5T of sugar
2T spoons of golden syrup
(depends on the number of people in your group)

We used baking soda to make it foam up

Woman should not be allowed in the military? (persuasive writing)

Woman should not be allowed in the military.

Woman should be allowed to be in the military because they have the right to fight for their country.

Woman are strong and independent and should be allowed to stand by our men and protects their country and they can also be as strong as men.

I think that woman should be in the military because they want to help protect their country and woman should just stay home and let the men fight they want some action too. people think that woman are weak but I think that they are not they are as strong as men and can fight like men and should be allowed in the military. Woman are taken for granted and should be respected just like men. Women back then were not allowed because the military thought they were weak and couldn't fight.

On July 28, 1914, was  World war I, the woman was not allowed to fight in the war they had to stay back look after the kids and do all the cleaning.  Only men were allowed to fight in the wars and the women were not. I think back then they thought women were weak and could not fight and should be at home looking after the kids. Some women were farmers and had to look after the farm by her self. She had to feed the animals she also had feed her kids they also had to protect their land from thieves.

When the 2nd world war happened women were allowed to fight. 

Egyptian Medicine (Social Studies)

Medical practice in ancient Egypt was so advanced that many of their observations, policies, and commonplace procedures would not be surpassed in the west for centuries after the fall of Rome and their practices would inform both Greek and Roman medicine.

In the modern-day, it is recognized that disease and infection can be caused by germs and one might think people have always believed so but this is a relatively late innovation in human understanding. It was not until the 19th century CE that the germ theory of disease was confirmed by Louis Pasteur and proven by the work of British surgeon Joseph Lister.

Before either of them, the Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865 CE) offered the then outlandish proposal to the medical community that they could cut mortality rates in their practices simply by washing their hands. He was mocked by doctors, who saw no reason to wash their hands before even the most invasive surgical procedures and grew increasingly frustrated and bitter.

P.E (Gymnastics)

              On Monday my friends and I did gymnastics. We first did the mini-tramp and it was fun.

                                        It was challenging and hard but it was very fun.

All zoos should be should down and release the animals back into their natural habitats. 
Planning:

Points For : 
Keeping them in cages is bad cause they are not getting that much space to move around and have to live in a small area
Animals should be able to run around the wilderness and not in a cage.
Zoos are also open to the public and people like to see animals and animals get scared when people approach them.

Points Against:
Animals are very unique animals and should be kept in zoos so they are not hunted and killed.
If the animals were released from the zoo they are going to endangered animals and are soon going to be instinct.
Animals in zoos are fed and looked after as if they were in the wildness they would have to look for their own food and they have no one to look after them and they might be killed by a predator.
Animals are safer than being in the wilderness hunted by predator and pests.
 _________________________________________________________________________________

Introduction
Should zoos be shut down and release the animals back into the natural habitat? I think animals should not be let into the wilderness because it is putting their lives at risks of extinction.

P1
Some animals that are in zoos are put there because they are at risk. Zoos are feeding the animals and looking after them whereas if they were in the wilderness they would have to hunt for their food and the adults have to protect the family. Zoos were made because our animals needed a place to live and to repopulate without having to worry about being hunted. Also, Zoos have special doctors (vets) for if an animal is not feeling well or the zookeeper feels th
