In health, we have been asked to do discovery tasks. I have chosen the topic of Vaping. for this I need to research my topic to answer some questions. We were asked to pic six questions about our topic and answer them. We had to come up with Strategies to help someone and then I made a picture collage relating to the topic.
Why do people vape? Vaping is cheaper than smoking and is easier to buy. It is only available for people over 18 to buy legally. This doesn’t stop young people from buying it. Some people think that vaping is cool or do it because their friends do it. Some people think that vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes.
What are the dangers of vaping? Vaping is unhealthy for your lungs. It can cause lung disease and damage to them. It can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, heart attacks, seizures, cancer, and addiction. It can cause the same dangers as smoking.
Who do I know that vapes? I have family members and friends that vape. Some use to smoke now they vape.
How does vaping affect people? It can make them have shortness of breath, cough, headaches, bad breath, dry mouth. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but still has risks. A second-hand vaper can have dangerous effects on others just like smoking. It is not good for young children or people with asthma.
When did vaping start? The first idea was made in 1927 by a man called Joesph Robinson, but it was first made by a Chinese pharmacist his name was Hon Lik he made it after his father died of lung cancer, and being a smoker himself wanted to try and quit.
Is vaping better than smoking? Vaping is not harmless as it still has the same risks but research shows it’s the healthier option as it reduces the risks. Personally, i think that both are as bad as each other.
At the moment we are studying the book the Cay. for this task we were asked to write about 3 characters points of view in the first five chapters
Mum's point of view - Her point of view is mainly based on her fear for her family and their future. She is scared and nervous about staying at Curacao. She looks for an excuse to leave. It doesn't help that she doesn't like living there, she cant stand the smell of the oil. She just wants her family to be safe and far away from Curacao. She just wants to protect Philip and take him somewhere else safe.
Philip's point of view - Philip is only 11 years old he has no idea of the dangers of what's really going on. He gets excited and is curious and asking his dad questions about what's going on. He feels like it's a bad dream but soon realizes it's not. He gets angry with his mum for wanting to leave and wants to stay with his dad, he doesn't want to leave his dad and friends behind. On the raft, he starts getting scared about everything and doesn't know where his parents are.
Timothy's point of view - Timothy is an old black man maybe in his sixties, He rescued Philip after the explosion. timothy has a lot of knowledge about all the islands as he traveled a lot. he tries his best to protect Philip from danger including the sun and water. Timothy hides his fear and stays very calm and gives Philip hope by keeping him safe. he does this by fishing for food, giving him water, and keeping him warm.
U-boats are a type of submarine that the germans use in World War 2. The submarine could carry up to 35 men and 12 torpedos. The boat could travel underwater for two hours at a time.
This video shares good information about the Uboat without even going inside. It describes the measurements and areas and the history of it. It also shows close-ups of what the Uboat looks like.
This music makes me feel like me sitting on the beach, listening to music with family and friends eating fish and chips. Seagulls hanging around trying to steal our food. It's a nice summer's day with the sun shining and the water so blue. my family and I are playing touch rugby along the waterfront. my dad and I are seeing who is the strongest by dunking each other into the waves. I love days like this bring on summer.

Why were these bridges created? A pontoon bridge is a bridge that floats on water. It is a floating bridge with barges or boats to support the bridge deck. These are used for sheltered water crossing in the war.
How are they built? They are made from large watertight concrete floats, boats, barges or other buoyant structures connected end to end.
How are they reusable? They are moveable, you could use them for a pedestrian or vehicle bridge to cross the water.
In PE at the moment, we are learning about badminton techniques and shots. Our task was to describe each technique given to us by our teacher.
Kia Ora Year 9,
Your task this week (Term 3 Week 5) is to create a piece of writing that helps your reader understand prejudice faced by different groups of people in Aotearoa (using the work we did in class).
(This is a continuation of the blog post some of you did in class already)
We are doing this to improve our writing skills and to help people understand different points of view - so that humans receive SOCIAL JUSTICE!
Groups of people we have learned about include: The muslim community, the LGBT+ community, the pasifika community, the asian community, and the disabled community. (Link to the work we did)
It should be structured like this:
INTRODUCTION What is your writing about?
“In our social justice hurumanu, we have learned about…
I think…
PARAGRAPHS
Write about what this community has experienced. What kind of prejudice do they face? (Pre-judice means to PRE-JUDGE. To judge someone before getting to know them)
What do they want us to know?
What do you think?
CONCLUSION
Wrap up your writing with what you want your readers to take away after they have read it. What thought should they have in their head when they walk away?
---
INTRODUCTION: In our social justice hurumanu, we have learned about a lot of prejudiced communities. Such as the Muslim community, the gay community, and the Asian community. I think that everyone should be treated the same no matter their religion, sexuality, or race.
PARAGRAPH 1 - The Muslim community has experienced a lot of bad things like the mosque shooting that happened two years ago. This was a terrorist attack that happened to the Muslims in Christchurch. The Muslims are judged for what they look like, what they wear, how they talk, and their religion. They want us to know that they are no different than everyone else. I think that Muslims should be treated the same as us.
PARAGRAPH 2 - The gay community has been through a lot of bad things too like being beaten up, assaulted, and bullied. They get judged for how they dress, how they talk, what they look like, and who they hang out with. They want us to know that they are still human and still have feelings even though they are gay. I think that they should be treated the same no matter who they like.
PARAGRAPH 3 - The Asian community has also been through a lot of bad stuff like being bullied. People are racist to them all the time. Just because they’re different, people judge them. For the food they eat, what they look like, and how they speak. Asian hate has gone on for many years but has increased fast over the last 12 months. In 2020/21 it has increased 1900% due to the Covid pandemic. Alot of people blame them for it. They want us to know that they are still people and that they are normal. They are not weird just because they are different. I think that the Asian community should be treated the same as us no matter what.
CONCLUSION - In the end, bullying is not okay and everybody should be treated the same. Just because they look, sound, or act differently than you, you should still be respectful. Always treat people the way you want to be treated.
I imagine that I'm in Hawaii and I'm on the beach with my friends and having a good time, listening to music, having a drink in my hand and laughing at jokes that my friends and I are saying. 
The bridges were made so the army trucks could get across the river, they were built with rope and planks of wood, They are reusable because they are made out of wood and rope and the rope would be are to rip if it did you just need to tie it up again.
The schooner is a boat, the schooner has different sizes and different shapes, on the sails the color is white, and the rest of the boat is like a brownish color. On the schooner there is more than one sail it is not like a regular boat cause a regular boat has normally one or two sails but the schooner has 4 or more, and it is really close to the water. If I was on the boat I would only see water depending on where I am.

Colour - it looks like a chocolate biscuit/cookie but it could be darker, more cocoa perhaps.
these are the photos of the cookies and me making the cookies
I think that English is the most important subject to learn at school because everyone should know how to do English cause everyone should know everything about English and it is very easy to learn if you don't know any about English, so I think that it should be the most important at school
we put coke into a chronicle flast and it evaporated into the tube and turn into clear liquid because of the heat that got trapped in the chronicle flast
Today we have been learning the school values and we had to highlight the ones that we did and then we had to pick 4 values that we highlighted and the ones that I pick were, I line up respectfully, I move on the first bell and arrive before the second bell, I ask for help and ask questions and I keep learning spaces nice and clean for the other classes and the ones that didn't pick that I'm going to work on are using the right sites, and complete online work safely. I play games in class because I get bored. To fix that I will... not go on the games.
To me, I think that your name is an important part of who you are because everyone in the world has a name and it is very important to you and everyone has a different unique name and mine is Harry,
My group was Enosh, jack, alazae, Matangi and I and we did 2 games which were Uno and Guess Who. The Ip skill I used was verbal communication because when I had to talk to Enosh to try to find who his card was and his communication was effective as well.
I think the students are the most importantly more than the principal because if there weren't any students there wouldn't even be a principal.
Hello, readers today we are learning about filtering so here is what I learnt.
filtering is separating different sized particles out of a making. you can not filter soluble particles.
hypothesis: I think the color will turn
method:
1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.
2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate.
3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel
4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask.
5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.
6. Observe what happened.
we did the experiment and jack accidentally overpoured into the filter and it has a little bit of blue but what should of happen it should have been clear...
