The all blacks activity

Today in C.I.P we had to research about the AB, we were told to put what we already knew, what we want to learn about, and about what we found out from our research, I don't know why we had to learn about them, it doesn't really teach us about kindness.

Letter to my Brother

Today for C.I.P we have to write a letter to someone we love/respect so after awhile of thinking I decided on
my brother Dylan, I wanted to tell that I respected him in the letter

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Dear Viking

Hello Dylan I know that recently it’s been hard, but good for you, breakups can be hard to get over but now
you can move on, it’s awesome that I can now spend a lot more time with you, I hope that I can help you
get over your struggles. Thanks for spending time with me and understanding what I am going through while
you are also going through things, you have always been there for Me, Mum and Dad. I don’t think you
know how much I respect even if I don’t show it, that’s why I am so honest with you. 

Yours truly Vin

(C.I.P) Radical Rainbow

Currently in C.I.P, we have been thinking on how we can make a poster for our upcoming Mufti day, when deciding on the name we thought about something crazy for the name, so we spent 5 minutes on the mat giving out ideas. After a short amount of time we decided on Radical Rainbow for the name. 

On the mufti day people bring a gold coin and wear colours of the rainbow or just wear the rainbow, we are raising money through this so we can give it to Kids Can so they can then give the money to families that aren't able to afford the basics.

Zero Waste

Aim: To learn practical ways of recycling so that we can make our world a better place.

Created Pollution

Created the problem called climate changeWhat is Zero Waste?
Definition:
A community that learns to use less and cheaper options to reduce climate impact.What stuff has a carbon footprint?
Engines, Factory's, Phones, Furniture,What are 4 easy things to help our planet?

1.   Increase the production of electric power/Decrease use off fossil fuels 
2.   Redesign things that use fossil fuels
3.  Reuse trash
4.  Repair instead if replace

What do we need to recycle?

1. Metal
2. Electronics
3. Concrete

Get rid of trash by turning it into useful products/ lower co2 levels

How much of our rubbish is made up of food scraps?
50% 

Grass clippings Leaves and branches

Paper products

What does methane gas do to our planet?
Traps 84% more sunlight then co2

What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Grabs the co2 by absorbing it like a tree
What do using zero waste practices do to our planet?
Lower the amount of trash produced and heat trapped in our atmosphere 

What is a carbon footprint?

What is your Carbon Footprint?

Carbon Footprint Calculator

You are now going to look at your own carbon footprint by taking a questionirre. Remember to 'Add details to improve accurcay'.

Based on the questionaire what is your:

1. Ecological Footprint

2. Carbon Footprint

How many planets did you have?

What is your personal Earth overshoot day?

C I P Colouring the world

My DLO that I created for this assignment, this C I P I had to make a Cartoon/Animation about "colouring the world" meaning helping someone to make their day, someone that gets helped normally wants to help other people, causing a chain of events.

Art Class 22/7/19

Vin, Ashton, Zack, Jullien

For the past weeks in art class we have been making stories to show kindness, first thing we did was to write a plan and a storyboard, afterwards we wrote about what our characters looks like and what they say in the stop-motion. The second to last step is to make the characters our of clay or whiteboard my group chose clay instead of whiteboard (because we don't have artists in our group)

I have decided that my clay person will be a scuffed penguin, in the story I am a person that helps the first person that needs help and later on and is helped by someone that I helped, like a kindness boomerang.

Fossil Fuel Experiment and Documentation

 

Aim: To look at how fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and how we can prevent this.

Definition of Fossil Fuels:
Fuels that are in or around earth that are limited and destroy the earth the more they used

Scientific Terms for Students

• coal: a dark-brown to black solid substance formed naturally from the compaction and hardening of fossilized plants and used as a fuel primarily for electricity generation
• natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbon gases that occurs naturally beneath the earth’s surface and is used as a fuel primarily for cooking and heating homes
• renewable resource: a resource that is never used up (e.g., solar energy)
• non-renewable resource: a resource that is not replaceable after its use (e.g., coal, gas)

Examples of Fossil Fuels:

1.   Coal
2.   Oil
3.   Gases

Activity: 

In groups of 3 you will learn about different fossil fuels and the way they are mined?
Each group will be given a fossil fuel. The recorder will read it to the group. The recorder will write down some of the important points.
Person 1: Recorder: to write down 5 points of interest from the text. 

1. 5 Points:
2. Positives and negatives of your type of mining.

Person 2: Reporter: to read back to the class their 5 points of interest.
Person 3: Collector: Gathers the required stationary from the teacher.

Mining Fossil Fuels

What Fossil Fuels are mined?
How are they mined?

1. Drills 
2. Miners
3. Oil rigs
4. Tube

Where are they mined?

1. Ocean 
2. Mountains  
3. Australia 
4. Asia
5. Caves

Activity;

On the sheet provided you need to make two drawings of your cookie. 
1. looking down at it. 
2. side on -  of the imaginary habitat that will live on the top of the cookie. ( trees, buses, flax, sea, etc)

Material: cookie, plate, pencil, colours.

1.  Cookie
2.   Plate
3.   Pencil
4.  Colours

Steps:

1.   Write about the ecosystem and whats in them, that includes how humans use them
2.   Draw cookie and habitat
3.   Chip 10 (c) chips out of the cookie
4.   Flip the page and write whats on the page 
5.   Eat the cookie (necessary)

Once you have drawn your cookies you must take 2 pictures and upload them to your blog.

Findings: What did you find out as a result of your mining?

How mining without putting the ground and other living things back can destroy the land and make it a useless waste land on earth, if there are not plants now ores and no animals what is it used for? nothing it's useless now, so destroying land for "riches" and having the ability to redo the land and not doing it is a really bad decision

Conclusion: Mining is a part of human evolution and used so we can advance as a race, not mining would destroy economy and building production. What I'm saying is that we need to start mining in more enclosed areas without wild life and vegetation (including human life duh)
