2019 Extension Highlights

This year, we have been doing a lot for extension. I have had a really fun year, and in this post, I will share some of my Highlights for the year.

Term 1: This term, we went to KPMG, which is a company which I loved. They were really kind, and I felt that they actually cared about us. We also did work on the treaty of waitangi, and we even did our own game design.

Term 2: This term, we did lots of work on robotics and devices. One day, we even got to code robots, and play Minecraft! We also went to KPMG, which I still think was the most active time.

Term 3: This term, we also went to KPMG, where I think I learnt the most. We also made our Film Festival movie.

Term 4: We of course went to KPMG. We also did work on UV lights, and we even made our own ones.

Those have been my highlights for this year. I hope you found this informative, and until next time, see ya!

Who Dunnit?

Who Dunnit?

In room 4, we are investigating into a crime. Somebody was trying to steal something, and while they were leaving, they cut themselves while jumping through a window. We found some of their bloody clothing, and we started our work on the crime. Using CCTV footage, we narrowed it down to four people.  We still haven't found out what they stole. Then we started our work on who's blood it was.

First off, we put some water on the bloody cloth. Then, we put that on the slide, and then put the slide under a microscope. On the first scope, we could see a pattern of red and a hairy substance. Then, when we tried the second scope, we saw what we saw on the second scope, but bigger. We couldn't see it on the third scope, so we tried to see how the blood reacted.

First, we put Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-RH, against their chosen blood. They all reacted differently, put due to research, we figured out that the robbers, blood was A+. We checked through all the suspects, but we figured out that the robber was Suspect 3.

The Three Little Barbecue Sausages

Once there lived Three Little Pigs, one day, while they were out shopping, the Big Bad Wolf came out of nowhere, and took the Three Little Pigs to his cave. When they were in his cave, the Wolf cooked the pigs on the barbecue, and made Three Little Sausages.

The sausages were hot, so he decided to blow them out. He got the first sausage, and said “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, and then the the sausage was a good temperature, so he ate the first one. The Wolf got the second sausage, shouted “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, and then ate the deliciously nice and warm second sausage.

Then the Wolf turn to last sausage, said “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, but the sausage was still hot. He blew it again and again, but it was still hot. It was so hot that it melted the Wolf, and so no one lived happily ever after.

Myths and Legends

Walt: Use our prior knowledge to make sense of a text



Task Description
Hi, my name is Caleb, and in this task, I learn about different Myths and Legends, and answer questions about them. This was a very interesting task.

Good Learner Traits

Are you a Good Learner? Do you have good traits? This essay will explain how to have both at the same time. Here are my three Good Learner Traits, Which are Collaboration, Responsibility, and Self-Discipline.

A Good Learner Collaborates with others. Collaborating is when a group of people work together to solve problems. When people Collaborate, they make it easier for everyone in the group and they might learn another type of learning. Collaboration is an essential part of life. If people Collaborate, they will find it easier to learn things and work together when they grow older.

A Good Learner also has to have good Responsibility. Responsibility means that people are counting on you to do something. Responsibility also means taking action for what you do. If people are responsible, then people will trust you with more important things. Responsibility can lead into people’s later.

The last trait is to be Self-Disciplined. Self-Disciplined is not having people telling you off or telling you what not to do, and just doing what people tell you to do. If your Self-Disciplined, then people will know you understand more, and won’t keep on talking about the same thing. Self-Discipline can help people find jobs when their older.

Here are three Good Learner Traits. These will help people in and out of school strive in life. These will help you throughout the rest of your life.

Task Description
Hi, my name is Caleb, and in this task, I write about what I think of these pieces of writing. This was cool to do, and I hope we do more work like this. By the way, the last one is my writing!

Character Traits

Do you think you have good Character Traits? There are many different Traits that people can be, and some are positive, and some are awful. This essay will tell you about 3 different Traits that are excellent for you to use.

One way to be a great person is by being Truthful. Being truthful is telling the truth, and not pretending. One reason to be truthful is because it is the right thing to do, which is already an outstanding behavior. Another reason is because if you tell the truth, people will trust you more, and will probably treat you with more respect.

Another great Trait to have is being Kind. Kindness is an aspect that all people can have. Kindness, is simply being nice to people. Even though this is the easiest thing to do, it will cause the greatest effect. People who are kindest will get treated kindest.

The last Trait is Perseverance. Perseverance is keeping on doing/going through something even if its hard. If people Persevere, then they will never give up, and will get higher results in whatever they’re doing. Perseverance is also useful for your future, and future jobs.

Have you got these Character Traits? If you have, then congrats, you have what it takes to make a good person. If you haven’t, then work towards these goals, and watch how you will feel a lot better. Until next time, see ya!

K-Pop

K-Pop is a Genre of Music which originated in South Korea. It can be traced back to the early 1960s, but it only became popular around the 2000s. It is made to represent Pop, and since it’s in Korea, its K-Pop (K for Korea).

K-Pop is not the traditional music for Korea. The traditional music is the folk songs, which are songs like A Song of Peace, and Far Too Close To You. K-Pop simply took the ideas of some Folk Songs, and mixed it with what they had. Sadly, while K-Pop is getting more famous, Folk Songs are getting less well known.

K-Pop is a very different type of music. The people normally talk in Chinese or Korean, and unless you can understand these languages, it will be hard to understand what they’re doing. That doesn't mean that this is bad. When they sing, even if you don’t understand it, you will get the full impact of the music, and will just like because it’s really trippy. They also spend millions of dollars on things like their costumes, and the background, which makes the videos moren awesome.

Cheek Cells

Today Room 4 were looking at cheek cells. We wanted to see how these cells looked compared to other cells. First we watched a video about how to see a cell under the microscope. The equipment we need was a Lolly Pop Stick, a slide, Sodium Chloride, and Methylene Blue (which is stain).

First, one of us took the Lolly Pop Stick, and gently rubbed it against our mouth, which caused all the dead cells to come of. Then we rubbed the Lolly Pop Stick against the slide, which caused all the cells to go on it. After we threw the stick away, we put a drop of Sodium Chloride on, and a drop of Methylene Blue on. Then we waited for it to dry.

After we let it dry, we took the microscope and put the slide under it. Then we could see the cells. They were hard to see at first, but after we magnified it, we could see all the cells. I hope we do more work on these cells, and hopefully, we can do work on other cells.

What's the point?

2019 Term 3 Highlights

This term has been the most interesting term this year. There has been so much going on, so in this blog, I am going to tell you all my term highlights.

One awesome thing has been making our maniakalani movie. It was really fun making them, especially since next term, I am going to see them all at film festival. Our Class movie was more fun doing, but our Extension one had more detail, and had a better story.

Another really cool thing was watching the School Production. The actors have been on this show since about week 4. I watched the Production on Wednesday, but we also saw it today at school. The show was awesome, and I wish I was part of it.

Finally, my favorite highlight was me winning Cross Country. I didn't write about it, because I was busy, but I did. It was an amazing moment. And I couldn't have done it without my Dad, who supported me the whole time.

Those are my top highlights. This term has been awesome, and I hope that next term, I have as much fun. I might post in the holidays, but if I don't, see you next term!

St. Patrick's Day

Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? St. Patrick’s Day is one of the most celebrated festivals in the world, as it is a day where people can come together, and bond with others. This essay will explain what happens during this event, why we celebrate it, and how many people celebrate it.

On St. Patrick’s Day, People come together to celebrate Patrick’s death. They wear green shirts, which they think will make them invisible from leprechauns that pinch people they see. They all come to a chosen spot, and thousand of people bond together to celebrate their hero.

The reason people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is to celebrate a man called Patrick, who died around 462 AD. He was the main person who supported making Christianity a thing in Ireland. After he died, people loved him for what he did, and in 1762, they stared a festival about him.

In 2018, 149 Million people in the US celebrated St. Patrick’s day. That’s almost half the whole country’s population. Some other countries includes UK, Brazil, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and NZ. There are more than 400 landmarks in more than 50 countries. That’s about 900 Million people who celebrate this extraordinary event.

Out of all the awesome events, St. Patrick’s Day has got to be one of the most famous of them all. Now you should have a better understanding of St. Patrick’s Day. From his origin, to how many people celebrate him, this is my essay about the great Patrick.

Tracking My Learning

Walt: Write about what we've learn't



Task Description
Hello, my name is Caleb, and welcome to my blog. This task is Tracking My Learning, a slide made by scientists for us, to, well... Track Our Learning. This covers all the main points of what I've done all year, and also some of my questions. I hope you find this interesting, and until next time, see ya!

Co-Education

Do you think you would do better at a school with only your gender? This essay will explain why people in Co Education schools will have a better go at life. This is because people need to socialize with the opposite gender, there is too much drama with a single gender, and you get different perspectives in learning.

Co-Ed schools are better because people need to socialize with the opposite gender. If people are only in the same school with the same gender, then later in life, they won’t know how to deal with girls. School gives you a better opportunity to get along with people who are a different race or gender, and stop dramas that might occur with only 1 gender.

Another reason Co-Ed schools are better is that they stop lots of only Boy/Girl related dramas. For example, girls know how to handle their dramas in a non-violent way, unlike most boys. If only a single gender was at a school, then there could be lots of dramas that might get worse if there is only 1 type of gender around.

The last reason is that people learn from different perspectives. If people only learn from 1 perspective, then they will have a very hard time with their future. If children go to Co-Ed schools, however, they will learn how different people, either boys or girls, learn and handle their work. It might not be better than yours, but at least your ready.

So know you have a few reasons why children who go to Co-Ed school will do better than going to a single sex school. This should now give you a better understanding of what is great about Co-Ed schools.

How to be a good Kid

Do you think you are a good son or daughter? Do you want to do more for your parents, but you don’t know if your doing enough? This essay will tell you how to be Helpful, Grateful, and Respectful of your parents.

One way to be a good kid is by being helpful. For example, you could just help your parents with the dishes without them asking you to. If you do this, your parents will be really happy and very grateful.

Another way to be a good kid is to be grateful. Being grateful is being happy with whatever you get, no matter what they have for you. You don’t need everything you want, so if you accept that you may not get what you want all the time, then that is a very respectful thing to do, which I'm sure your parents will be happy about.

The final way to be a good kid is to be respectful. Being respectful is respecting what your parents do for you. If you were respectful, like thanking your parents in front of a whole lot of people, you would have made your family proud.

To be a good son, you need to be Helpful, Grateful, and Respectful. This will show that you really care about your parents.

Something in the Water!

On Monday, the whole school went to Immersion Assembly. Immersion Assembly is a Assembly we have in the hall at the start of each term. And finally, after the 2 week holiday we had, we had to go to Immersion Assembly.

After we had our team meeting, which we have everyday before we go to class or assembly, we got into our lines, and headed for the hall. I was excited about this term, because I didn't know what the theme for this term was. It was term 3, so I had my hopes up about what this term was going to be about. When our class got to the hall, and sat down, Mr Burt, who is our principal, told us that the theme for this term was 'Something in the Water', which means that we will be learning about things in the water.

After talking about what the theme for the term was, he showed us a whole lot of sea food, which were already cooked for us. Then I was excited! He gave some of the food to the prefects, who went around and gave out food. Then, while the prefects were doing there thing, it was time for the team 1 movie. The team 1's movie was about a team called S.O.F.A, who went around and helped endangered creatures. This time, they went to the Pt England Reserve, and tried to help the creatures. Then it was time for team 2, 3, and 4, who all talked about sea creatures.

Then it was time for team 5. Team 5, instead of talking about sea creatures, did a cool song about DNA, and cells, and other things that help our body. Then, after the last of the food was handed out, it was time to go back to class.

Overall, I am really excited for this term. I really hope we learn about sea creatures, as I love animals. I also hope we learn about how big the Ocean is. This term is going to be awesome!

This is my first proper blog post for this Term, and I am sorry I only posted once, as I was away on holiday. I am back at school, however, so you should look forward to me doing normal posts. Until next time, see ya!

Those are the main things I know about Science
