Mufti Day

 We had a mufti day to support the Graeme Dingle Foundation is a Foundation that is committed to ensuring the wellbeing and safety of children and young people, including prevention of child/young person abuse or maltreatment. I love mufti day because you get to see everyone's outfits and styles. My favorite  part of the day was wearing mufti and being comfy in my own clothes, I was wearing blue and white jeans and teal and pink shirt and a pink champion jersey. Mufti days are always the best because you get to be comfy and its normally just a relaxing fun day.

Skittles

 Skittles

Chromatography is a technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium which the components move at different rates.

Aim: to separate the colours from the skittles by using chromatography 

Martials:

1. 5 Skittles 

2. Water

3. Petri dish

4. Beaker

Process: 

Step 1: Get your equipment set up ready to pour 25mls of water into the petri dish with the skittles.

Step 2: Place the skittles into the petri dish around the edges.

Step 4: watch as the water removes the dye from the skittles. See which  colour reaches middles fastest.

Step 5: Record your results on the tables below.  (forgot to take a photo sorry)

Floods

Few weeks ago there were floods around Christchurch and lots of other places I think that biggest flood was in Ashburton. It was really wet and cold for a couple days now it has been sunny.
Facts about the Flood in Ashburton: 
Hundreds of north Canterbury residents have been evacuated from their homes because of these flood they've broken houses, shops, etc. - and further south, hundreds more Ashburton residents are on standby 
The entire Canterbury region is now under a state of emergency and around 75 schools and preschools are closed on Monday as residents prepare for more upheaval.
Ashburton mayor Neil Brown said some locals had already started to evacuate overnight as rising river levels continued.

Friday Blog Day

 Friday Blog Day

Dear Readers, 

Today's Blog is about Pink Shirt Day something we've been working on in class this week.

Information I studied included, We celebrate Pink Shirt Day to draw attention to the dangers of bullying and how it can make victims depressed and sometimes suicidal. Bullying is helped by bystanders who do nothing for the victim. Out standers help the victim. That's why we need more out standers in life. 

Please leave a comment that will hopefully encourage me to continue Blogging and make improvements.
