Mangere pools

As our final activity  we all went to Mangere pools.

The teachers picked the first team to go on the bus. The first team to go on the bus was the forst. because they were sitting up nicely and not talking.


When they said that the slid  was open I raced up to the slid and waited until it was my turn. When it was my turn I was scared because when I zoom throw the water and turn I might fall out.

Testing Oumaru Creek for - Turbidity

Testing Oumaru Creek for - Turbidity

I am going to find out:  about Turbidity Turbidity means what is it all about and how it looks

I am going to test this by: how it looks and to see if it is clean of not clean and see if it is see thru

Resources and equipment:  

1. the sea

2. the tap

3. the bridge

4. the culvert

5. bucket

6. string

7. glass jars

I predict that:

The seawater is really clear and also the tap water. the culvert water and the bridge water you can’t see throw any thing.

I think this because:

because the culvert water and the bridge water is too dirty.

Results of my tests

Sea Water	13
Tap water	16
Omaru Creek water by culvert	12
Omaru Creek water by bridge	10

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that the culvert water wasn't dirty and I found out that the sea water looks like the tap water

Why I think this is: because when we look at the tap water and the sea water it look the same

oumaru creeks smell

I am going to find out about the smell of the water from oumaru creeks.

I am going to test this by the smell to see if it is fresh  I think that the culvert musty rubber foul.

resources and equipment we will need 2 bucket and 4 jars 2 strings and 4 sorts  of water.

I predict that the water has foul green and yellow sort of smell near the culvert.

I think this because the culvert has bits of rubber and tar .body odour

Omaru Creek testing for colour

I am going to find out:  What colour the water is

I am going to test this by: Comparing different water samples and describing the colour.

1. The culvert 
 2. the bridge 
3. the sea 
4. the tap

Resources and equipment:   1. The culvert  2. the bridge 3. the sea 4. the tap 5 class jars

I predict that:Tap water + sea is clear culvert is dark bridge sticky

I think this because: I think that the sea water is clear becasue of the magrow it clean it

Results of my tests

Sea Water	The sea water was cloudy like the clouds in the sky
Tap water	The tap water was transparent because it is clean
Omaru Creek water by culvert	The Oumaru Creeks water was brown
Omaru Creek water by bridge	The bridge water was clear

My conclusion (what I found out): I think that the sea water was cloudy because of the silt I found out that the tap water transparent

Why I think this is: I just found out that Oumaru Creeks was not yak it just had this floating things around it

Camp

In the morning I came to school in my home clothes because I had camp. I was so shy because I thought I was the only one that was coming camp but I saw some people Then i wasn’t shy.


Our first game was top town if you want to know how to play the game well this is how you play it. First you do the big word then throw it on the ground. Then you jump on it and you just keep on doing it when you have finished you jump and land.

Our 2nd thing was kayaking it was so fun but when i was kayaking. My legs were so sore then i said to mr brut can i have my turn on the speedboat. Me and Quinlan fell of the the speed boat it was so fun.

my Eels

We have been reading an article about how to catch eels with a hinaki. This is a net made of wire netting that traps the eel inside. Here is a diagram to show you how it works.

The Test

In  the morning, room 17 went for their Maths Test. First we had to start with the practice questions so we could get into it. So when we had finished we could quit the practice question. We could start the test.


The test was hard but I still finished it. It was pretty fun but boring at the same time. When we had finished we had to look at the question to see if we done it right. When we had done that we pushed the button that says finished.
