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.

Passion Project
Passion project this year was not as good as advertised because most of our team did nothing but watching videos and mess around, the only good thing about it was, that I meet some new people that are interesting. But I think that passion projects can be a better experience if they changed a few things about it. I didn't like how we just sat around most of the time because it gets boring overtime. We had to get sand and plan how big our box would be, that means measuring its volume.

Red Cabbage Indicator Science
Two days ago (21/8/18) in Science, me and Jayden made a Red Cabbage Acid Indicator, we used Test tubes, Red Cabbage, Lemonade, Water, Floor cleaner, Sparkling Water, Toilet Cleaner, Base.
Our aim was to tell the levels of pH with a Red Cabbage Acid Indicator using house hold liquids.
So What we did was put red cabbage in a beaker up to 100 ml and then put water to 150 ml then turned the bunsen burner on and also put the beaker on a tripod over the bunsen burner and let the liquid turn purple we turned the heat of and poured the liquid into a flask
and then added the liquid into 6 test tubes and then we added the household liquids and named all the flasks.
1st Water, 2nd Floor Cleaner, 3rd Sparkling Water, 4th Lemonade 5th Toilet Cleaner, 6th Base.
Water is blue 8, Floor Cleaner is Blue 8, Sparkling Water is Purple 4, Lemonade Violet 6, Toilet Cleaner Red 2, Base Purple 4.
And a indicator is something that gives information about heat and other things

Sugar and Salt Science
Finding the difference of things that look almost the same is a little challenging but not impossible today I can tell you a few different to distinguish salt from sugar and without tasting them, first salt is more crystallised and a lot more whiter.
First under a microscope salt is clear and clear, sugar is bigger and not clear because it has little sugar around the grain.
Sugar takes three whole tablespoon to hit its saturation point, Salt is the exact same as sugar.

7TZ Hokey Pokey science
Our aim for the hokey pokey was to make it into a gooey substance and make it edible.
The reason we needed baking soda to complete it is because of the baking soda making the batters rise like making bread. Also the bubbles in the hokey pokey is carbon dioxide escaping the
hokey pokey.
We need 100g sugar 1 table spoon of water 1 teaspoon for baking soda two tablespoons of maple syrup and we used a bunsen burner, silver foil and a pot.
First put all the ingredients in except the baking soda afterwards put the silver foil on your baking tray, then turn your stove or bunsen burner on and put the pot over the fire and stir until the sugar is dissolved and bubbling, take it off the heat once the sugar is dissolved now add the baking soda once it looks like this.

Now pour it onto the baking tray then allow it to cool down

My Fo Guang Shan Temple Visit
My visit to the temple was great, I loved it because of the followers being so kind to all of us. We got to look at the paintings and I loved looking at the paintings. I also got to see some statues and pray and tell everyone my wish. I am not religious but I like to see other religions and see what they do on the daily. I enjoyed making the lotus flower for my mother also the food was good.

Chapter 1 | Amusement Day
I was shopping at Walmart, I strolled through the doors looking for somewhere to browse
I went over to the adult diaper section, while browsing through the cedar shelves I remembered
causley walking pass a portaloo while entering the store, and I knew there was closer toilets but
something pulled me towards, this one portaloo in particular and then I suddenly needed to go to
the toilet. I walked out of Walmart doors and I clumsily jogged over to it. When I approached it I
felt like something was looking at me with eye’s that could shatter ice, them the door slammed|
open aggressively and I checked it out, it turned out to be a portal. I felt someone push me with
force towards the portal and I tripped on a small rock and fell into the portal. I woke up around
0 seconds ago at an abandoned theme park, the time on my watch was wacky. It was always on
6:66, I knew something was out of place.
The air had the scent of rust and It made me sneeze. While sneezing blood oozed out of my
mouth and it poured onto the cold dead dirt. I could feel my throat being shredded to scraps by
razor blades, I coughed them up they looked like they were carved by a idiot. I’m no expert but it
looked so dull but it cut like a saw blade. But I had a feeling something felt familiar about this
creepy place, It was if id been here before. The aura here was deadly. Life had perished in this
god forsaken place, the plants were dried to the stem and dead, the metal was not identified
as metal. I also had a thought of a devilish clown with purple hair and green eyes, and it was
pursuing me with a weaponized squishy rubber toy hammer that you would see here.
I heard a very eerie sound it sounded like a demon howling or hurling a hair ball from the distance.
I started to notice that fog was closing into my position, the fog was so dense I could barely see a
thing, it was like I stuck my head in a bush. Something caught my eye for a second, red demonic
eyes jumped up and gawked at me, then it lowered slowly to the ground and disappeared. The sky
started to get dark, extremely dark, darker than black, I heard footsteps charging at me and then
before I could react. I felt a blow to my chest and I threw up, I started to be nauseous and dizzy. I
realised that I was going to black out in a hell hole. But before that happened I saw a goats skull
laying on the ground sideways and it was facing at me menacingly, I felt some sort of hammer hit
my head and then I Passed out.
I had a nightmare of a levitating skull it looked like it was being held on by a tall figure, it stood
staring at me like it was looking straight through me. The idea of death was scampering in my mind,
my head was pounding like a drum and I saw blood pouring down my face like a waterfall. The
blood was a crimson red colour, I heard something moving towards me and it got to my ear and
chanted quite threats in my ear “death is upon you...” While I was in shock from hearing that, in the
background I could hear blood curdling screams. hearing the screams of tortured souls, woke me up immediately and what I had seen was something you would see in nightmares...
