Skipping rope

You'll never have to get the GYM now with the all NEW skipping rope two thousand with two handles and it being almost self-propelled (but not quite) you can exercise at HOME!!! Without the hassle of just walking, you can just jump up and down,  up and down repetitively without stopping getting increasingly faster, and increasingly painfully. You’ll have to jump if you don’t want to fall on your face!!! With our patented technology, you can adjust the skipping rope so you can torture your kids as well!

sustainability investigation

I wanted to know how much rubbish was around the school so I found out 

First, I did the T block around the perimeter of T block there were 18 bits of rubbish, nothing too exciting. 

Secondly, I did R block and I found 17 bits of rubbish around this time I thought I was seeing a trend with the numbers but when it came to M block there was a substantial difference between the others. 

Thirdly I did M block and M Block came in at just 13 pieces of rubbish surprisingly as I thought that the M Block would have the most rubbish out of the lot. 

After that, I went to the gym and though I found some rubbish around the place there was an abundance in the surrounding bushes and area the gym came in at 17 bit of rubbish.

Next, I went around the field and had a look I found that around the start of the field that’s near to the buildings T, R, and M, I found near here a lot of the 57! Bits of the rubbish that lay scattered in the ground but an I moved more out on to the field I found that the number of bits of rubbish started to decree a lot and I found the further I went in the field the less and less rubbish I found.  In the end, the field had 57 bits of rubbish the highest of them all. 

Lastly, as for the caf, I thought that I would find more rubbish but I didn’t and I think that’s just because of the abundance of bins in the immediate vicinity so it would be hard to find an excuse for littering.  The caf area came in a low 10 bits of rubbish 

Overall around the school, I found 164 bits of rubbish in just the areas I looked at. I feel that the littering problem could have been avoided by putting more colourfully coloured bins to attract peoples attention so they know that there’s a bin nearby to put your rubbish in. Through my investigation, I have found that areas used a lot at intervals or lunches to counteract this we could put more rubbish bins in these areas.  

 

Sustainability Investigation

The Investigation assignment draws together your Mathematics learning but having you perform a Statistical Inquiry on a Sustainability topic.

Some ideas of topics

• Which part of the school has the most rubbish on the ground

• Recycling - Are we recycling properly?

• What is 9 Mohua doing to help reduce, reuse and recycle?

Problem & Plan: which part of the school has the most rubbish on the ground

Identify a Sustainability topic you can investigate

Plan out how you will collect data.  I will walk around the school and count the rubbish on the ground.

Data Collection:

Collect your data. Near cafe 10, mohua 13, t block 18, r block 17, playground 32, gym 17, field 57. 

Note any issues with accuracy. Some rubbish may blow away and is it still counted?

When rubbish is counted

DTE semester 2

In the introduction to semester 2, I and kade experimented with the robots make them do our will and controlling them with an iPad we also played around with code.org and I used machine learning to clean the ocean of plastics. I enjoyed playing around with the robot as I learnt that they aren't easy to make do things that you want them to do.  

Here's some 3D printing that I and kade did. 

I liked the 3D printing but I wish that we got some formal teaching from our teacher on how to use it 

but it was fun to able to make whatever we wanted. 

des hunt sunken forest brochure

This is lake waikaremoana it's a lake where camps can be held for educating pupils on how to; do kayaking, rock climbing and trail hikes while teaching them resilience and perseverance. When walking around students can learn about wildlife and the many ells and other animals that occupy the surrounding land and lake. 

Lake waikaremonana is just 238 km from Tauranga or a  3 hour 47 min ride with stunning views and lots of learning opportunity and walks and tramping is a great place to be with a camp where students can stay and learn about nature. 

wonderopolis: can animals get sunburned

 In the wonderopolis, I read about whether animals can get sunburns or not and are 5 facts I learnt: 

1. blue whales are more likely to get sunburnt as that spend more time near the surface.  

2. pig will rolling mud to cover themselves in mud to act as a sunscreen. 

3. around the eyes of hippopotamus it is very sensitive around there and they secrete rust coloured fluids to act as a sunscreen to protect them. 

4.  Elephants will cover themselves and their offspring with sand to use as a kind of sunscreen.

5.  Giraffes have black tongues and scientists think that's so they don't have a sunburn in their tongues. 

Business studies innovation challenge

  

The wallet it's a very useful item used for carrying paper currency, coinage, cards and business cards. Today money theft is very easy as most wallets aren't thick enough to block NFC (near field communication) which is what cards use to transfer money. Something that I wish that wallets had were to have its own NFC chip that you can set up that links to your cards account and for security there's an off switch or an NFC blocking panel that can be slid over the NFC chip to block thieves from stealing your money. The wallet is a great product to have as its an easy way to hold on to money and store it securely in your pocket without it just falling out. Removable coin storage because most people don't keep coins on them so why do you need the extra bulk?. Making it bigger could be a possibility because it may have a flashlight, power bank, and or the NFC may need a small button cell battery to keep its memory. if there's a battery then there could even be Bluetooth connection in it.

ideas for Improvement

1. Internal flashlight for finding money more easily.

A disadvantage, you might need to replace the battery often if you use the light a lot. 

2. A knife for self-defence. 

A disadvantage, where would it be stored and with airports it has to be removable 

3. Bluetooth tracker or GPS tracker. 

A disadvantage, the battery would have to be charged and you may leave home without it.   

4. Tile integration for finding it or your phone (link)

A disadvantage, it will cost more. 

5. NFC payment 

A disadvantage. possible NFC theft. 

This wallet or the future has many improvements to the old wallets of today such as smart compatibility with tile integration and NFC payment so you'll never lose your wallet and be able to pay just by tapping your wallet near the receiver, and with NFC blocking materials built into the wallet, your money can't be stolen through your pay wave cards and you'll never be a victim to cred card theft. along with these things, there are more secrets like a small flashlight for finding you money in dark places and a small GPS tracker so if you go missing you'll be able to be found easily.

Sexxxy Paragraph

caroline film study 

Lighting in caroline is greatly used to convey mood.

For example, unnatural neon green is emitted around the room from other mothers body. 

This makes the audience feel the already unnatural other mother seen even more otherworldly.

It's unsettling how bright and vibrant the neon green is, in contrast, to have a normal colour the rest of the movie is.  The director did this to make the other mother scarier as neon is a very unnatural colour. combined with other mothers skeleton-like body with hands made to of needles, its a very creepy scene.

This reminds me of the start of the movie and how other mother has transformed from a very nice person to this very horrible alien creature. 

coraline sexxxy paragrath

The angles of shots are greatly used to convey what the mood is and the size and distance of the characters and surroundings.

 For example, this scene is a Long (wide) shot, taken from just above with the table looking down towards  'other mother' Coraline and 'other dad' eating dinner together showing what caroline would like to be having with there real mother and father, all her favourite foods are neatly arranged around the table.

The scene is happy with all of caroline's favourite food in front of her with a milkshake dispensing chandelier above trio. Caroline is very happy in the scene with all of her favourite foods in front of her, the room is warmly lite with reds and whites   It is warmly lit around the centre of the table but around the outside edges of the room is a bit darker lit. This was done to covey that the mood will shift drastically foreshadowing what is about to happen after this scene other mother offers to caroline the button eyes if she wants to stay.we see this in play in other scenes to show that something big is going to go on and that this is supposed  to be a very dark and gloomy scene.  

  

 

S.e.x.x.x.y Pharagraths

This exxy paragraph is about colour and lighting in a scene. 

 

These two scenes really show how colour can change the mood.

The scene on the left is warmly lit making the audience feel happy and safe in the environment. 

however, in the scene to the right, it is not warmly lit and looks like a very glum place to be and stay the clouds in the back round really emphasises  Coraline's feelings right now In my opinion. This was done to show contrast to the real world and the other world by making the other work a more pleasant place to be and stay. Combined with the friendly looks of other mother and other father it really sells the fact that this would is perfect, in contrast to the worn looks of the real mother and father with there sad tired looks.

this scene can be in contrast to the garden scene wherein the real world is a dead baren area devoid of life but in the other world, it's an alive, colourfully lit land in the shape of Coraline's face used for planting plants and making Coraline want to stay.
