Music

For this task we had to writ a song. it was hard because i am not a great song writer .
My inspiration was a woman who got her chihuahua stolen by a seagull
A simile is comparing two things with like or as such as "the mud looks as thick as chocolate"
A metaphor is comparing something without using 'like' or 'as' such as "the cake was heavenly"
The lyrics are

Yeah these are bad,so bad,so bad

They steal your food with no remorse

Flapping in hordes shouting “MINE MINE MINE MINE”

Stealin’ your food and crappin’ on those who move

They are SEAGULLS,Horrible,despicable THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DESTROYED

They are seagulls se-e-eagulls Go please get extinct BECAUSE I HATE YOU

Scream all the time

Never give up

Scream all the time

Never give up

SCREAM ALL THE TIME 

NEVER GIVE UUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPP! 

They are SEAGULLS,Horrible,despicable THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DESTROYED

They are seagulls se-e-eagulls Go please get extinct BECAUSE I HATE YOU

WHY DO THEY EXIST????

Making Connections to Prior Knowledge

we are focusing on making connections to prior knowledge
there are three ways to do that

Ki-O-Rahi

This is the legend of ki-o-rahi Rahi had a beautiful wife named Ti Ara. One day an enemy tribe from a far off mountainous area kidnapped Ti Ara. Her abductors cast a spell on the neighbouring forests causing the vegetation to become dense and impenetrable, so that nobody would be able to track where Ti Ara was being taken. Rahi was determined to find Ti Ara. With the help of his family and tribe he constructed a huge kite, named Manu Tangata. Before setting off on his journey, Rahi prepared several “ki” (flax bags) filled with the large Moa (extinct New Zealand bird) eggs, for nourishment during his journey. Tawhirimatea, the god of wind, blew Rahi and his kite high in the sky, before gently landing Rahi in the bush. As she was being taken away through the forest, Ti Ara secretly folded back leaves of the "silver fern", (New Zealand tree fern) exposing the silvery underside of the leaf. Rahi was able to follow the silvery trail that Ti Ara had left. Ti Rahi’s abductors, however, eventually became aware of Rahi’s approaching presence. The tohunga (wizard, priest) of their tribe cast another spell, which caused a hot scorching sun to appear in the sky. This sun was the sister of Ra, the regular sun. Immediately the green luscious forest dried up in the heat, and its brown withered leaves fell like snow onto the once green forest floor. Next a strong wind gusted, blowing away the dried remains of the forest, leaving nothing in its wake but a vast sandy desert. Surrounded by desert, and with no silver trail to follow, Rahi was unable to determine in which direction to continue. Very soon he became dehydrated in the searing heat. A large yellow rock came into view, and Rahi sought protection in its shade. He sensed that this rock was part of his "Tipuna". As Rahi sat, the rock slowly began to change colour, and from yellow it gradually turned to a cool green colour.

Just at this moment, Namu, a giant friendly eagle that lived near Rahi’s pa arrived, and perched on top of the rock. Gently the giant eagle trickled water from her beak onto Rahi’s face. Suddenly, however, an enormous charging lizard appeared. The lizard tried to charge, but was unable to approach near enough to the rock owing to a double force field created by both the rock and Rahi’s "mauri" (life force, essence of life). Frustrated, the lizard changed its tactics. It began relentlessly circling the rock, its huge tail thrashing all the while, uprooting rocks, stones and sand.

The persistent circling and thrashing of the lizard eventually produced a deep canyon which surrounded the rock, and which soon filled with refreshing spring water. The giant lizard transformed into a huge water monster ("taniwha") called Utumai. Rahi now found himself marooned on an island. And, as if this was not enough, the tohunga of Ti Ara’s abductors cast a further spell that made the two suns disappear, producing a cold dark night. Namu, Rahi’s friend the giant eagle, was still perched on the rock. Although she was so cold that she was in danger of freezing to death, she tried to warm Rahi by blanketing him in her feathers, as the night continued to become steadily colder. Just then Rahi, looking up, saw three stars aligned in the sky. He realised that his father, Eru, had cast a spell from the top of their "maunga" (mountain). As Rahi watched, a narrow ice ramp formed to join the island to the shore. Summoning all the force that remained within him Rahi lifted Namu onto his back, and slowly began to edge his way across the narrow ice walkway towards the shore and to safety. Just when Rahi and Namu were on the point of reaching shore, the taniwha (sea monster) rose up out of the waters. In anger it lashed at it’s own head, sending formations of razor sharp teeth flying through the air like spears, aimed at Rahi. Fortunately the spear like teeth hit the ice at the edge of the walkway, causing no harm to Rahi and Namu. With the constant lashing at his head, Utumai, the monster, eventually broke his own neck, and sank lifeless to the depths of the water filled canyon. As if to celebrate the sun came out once Rahi reached shore. In the healing sun rays, Namu was soon warm enough to fly home. Rahi was able to join his tribe, who had been desperately searching for him, and altogether they headed for the mountains to free Ti Ara. Rahi and his tribe eventually arrived at the entrance to a cave, situated at the foot of the mountains, where they remained, hurling menacing threats to Ti Ara’s abductors in the interior of the cave. After a while, Rahi and his tribe used a number of heavy boulders to block the thermal steam vents and hot pools which covered the thermal mountain. Very soon the temperature inside the mountain began to mount, discharging fierce billows of hissing steam. Ti Ara’s abductors were forced to flee the cave in panic - Ti Ara among them. As Rahi and Ti Ara fell into each other’s arms earthquakes and shockwaves began to take place all around, forcing everyone to flee to safety. The next day an enormous explosion took place, hurling the mountain high into the sky. Te Puhuru, the tohunga who cast spells during the abduction of Ti Ara, had remained inside the mountain. When it exploded Te Puhuru was blasted into the heavens, where he now remains, continuing to play out his mischief. The two tribes gathered on the shores of the lake where Rahi had been marooned, and decided to make peace. The great sea monster (taniwha) was cooked, and for many days the two tribes ate and discussed together. They came to the conclusion that it was quite possible to live peacefully in harmony, without war. It was here, on these shores, that the two tribal councils invented a means to ensure lasting peace forever. They created a game representing the attempted abduction of Ti Ara, which the tribes played together – keeping the peace. This is how the game of Ki-o-Rahi came into being. According to legend, the game of Ki-o-Rahi is conveyed throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand by fog, swept along by the wind as it embraces the lakes and shores where the game of Ki-o-Rahi originated. These are the rules of ki-o-rahi Play is started from te Marama, with Kioma throw or kick the ki to a team mate in Pawero area. They attempt to pass the ki to team mate who touches a pou (for a potential point) then can touch more pou to accumulate more potential points or run it through te roto  then place the ki on or over the Pawero line to convert all pou touches into points on the board. (this is the only time they can enter te roto). Kioma can not go through or over te ara to score. If a kioma player is “tagged” in te roto while trying to score it is a hand over, if they run into te roto and run or pass the ki back out with out being touch they retain possession but the pou touches are recounted. Kioma scores and play restarts with a kick off from te marama. Out of bounds, last team in possession hand over to other team. Taniwha scores by hitting the tupu with the ki and play carries on. Jump shots may be allowed if the taniwha player jumps from te roto and releases the ki before landing in Pawero, they must leave immediattely and not affect play or Kioma gain possession. Players in possession must be moving or they have 3-5 seconds to pass or shot or hand it over. Players can not enter te ara, unless they are kioma moving between pawero and te ao. Players may get the ki from other zones as long as part of their body stays in their legal zone, Taniwha may take jump shots at the tupu as long as the ball is released before they touch the ground. (some Iwi play no entering other zones or penalties may occur) This is called the Turangawaewae rule. Ki-o-Rahi equipment  tupu (central target) approx 40 gallon drum or rubbish bin. 7 pou. Ki, woven flax ball, normal ball, rocks, rolled up jersey or anything. Field marking. Team ID. 14 People minimum (7 a side) A good size field/area will be needed to play. click the link below for a sample of a field layout: Ki o Rahi is played on a circular field with concentric circles. The size of the field varies depending on the amount of players, level of fitness and the type of rules being played. I think that Ki-O-Rahi is a great and fun game to play and should be played everywhere!

10. salt

Steps:

1.  get bottles
2. fill one with a little bit of sugar
3.  add soda water to sugar 
4.  put balloon on sugar and soda bottle
5. fill one with a little bit of vinegar
6.  add baking soda to balloon 
7.  put balloon on vinegar bottle
8. fill one with a little bit of yeast and salt
9.  add warm water
10.  put balloon on yeast and salt bottle

My images:

Findings:

	Balloon 1 ( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)	Balloon 2 ( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)	Balloon 3 ( 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar )
Balloon Size (cm)	20cm	6.5cm	13cm
Bubbles	small amount	small amount	large amount

Conclusion:

baking soda and vinegar produce the most carbon dioxide which fill balloons easier

more bubbles means less carbon dioxide
