      Hurumanu 5: Making waves
      
      Aim: Thing that you are trying to find out
      Hypothesis: An educated method guess
      Equipment: Material used for the experiment
      Steps: The order in which you carry out the experiment
      Finding: What you found out on the experiment
      Conclusion: Finding and research summarised together.

Is the hypothesis correct: My hypothesis was that the                        marshmallow would fly and would be launched across the room
This was incorrect because the only length that the marshmallow went to was to the table across to me which wasn't that far so no my hypothesis was incorrect.

Prime Ministers

In power to the people hurumanu we had to do independent work. We had an option on what we want to do Ma and I worked together and chose our women, prime ministers. We had to research who were the two women prime ministers before Jacinda Ardern. We had to make a fact sheet about the two prime ministers. Here is our fact sheets of the prime ministers:

Athletics

High jump: In the high jump, we had learnt how to do a Fosbury flop. A Fosbury flop is you can only jump with 1 foot, you jump off your left foot and spin and land on your back with your feet and hands up in the air with your chin in your chest.

Shotput: In the shot put we got taught the basics of pushing the ball. You have to have your right foot in front and you left foot on the line, have your shotput on your neck with your elbow in the air and hand in your face. Then you lean and pivot and push the ball.

Research project- energy

1. Light energy- The energy of the electromagnetic waves. Found in microwaves, x-ray, light bulbs and fire.
2. Heat energy- Caused by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects.
3. Sound energy- Energy produced by vibrating objects. Examples are speech, ultrasound, music, animals and speakers
4. Chemical Potential energy- Energy stored in the bonds between particles. Found in substances like petrol, food and batteries.
5. Electrical energy- The movements of electrically charged particles. Found in wires, generators, lightning and eels.
6. Gravitational Potential energy- Energy stored in objects due to their height above the ground.
7. Kinetic energy- Energy due to the motion of an object. Eg. moving cars, running, swimming, roller coasters and helicopters.
8. Elastic Potential energy- Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are strings, rubber and Bungy jumps.

Mirror poem

Today for hurumanu with Miss Clark and Mr Wilson we had to make a poem about someone in the mirror. We had to write in a book or a Chromebook. Here is my poem that I did.

So here is the poem and then we had to fill it in.

                                 This here is my poem in my book cause writing is easier.

I look in the mirror and what do I see?

A gorgeous, kind and funny person looking back at me

I'm really good at netball, boxing and sleeping

and love to bake and cook.

I spend lots of time taking time with family and friends

and can't wait for going to sleep

I could improve my fitness and my shooting

and being nice to my brother is hard for me

but I know if I try, I'll be the best I can be.

Sport hurumanu

My goal: In athletics Hurumanu I am going to work hard as I can, being more active, getting better everyday, enjoy new things we do, listen more (classmates and teachers) and finishing my work on time.
