Social Studies 

Why people didn't want the Beatles to tour NZ: 

Some people didn't want the Beatles to tour New Zealand, as they thought some people may not be able to handle them. They assumed that they would be out of control.

Many people wanted the Beatles to tour New Zealand because they wanted to escape the world and have some fun! People wanted the tour to happen so that they could express themselves. Most people just liked their songs. 

Making Salts II - Experiment

 Science 

Aim: To produce copper sulfate by reacting copper oxide with an acid. 

Method: 

 - Add 20ml of sulfuric acid to a 100ml beaker. HEat the acid until it reaches 70'C. Turn off bunsen burner. 

 - Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds. 

 - Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool. 

 - Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker. 

 - Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to help you complete this step. 

 - Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour the filter paper un the funnel. Allow filtering through. 

 - Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solutions from the beaker into the evaporating basin. 

 - Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin was reduced in half. 

 - Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (o.e. a window-sill)  and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form. 

Results:  (Below) 

Discussion: Copper oxide + sulfuric acid -> water + copper sulfate. This means the oxide and the acid came together to make the water. The copper and sulfuric combined to make the copper sulfate which is the scientific name of the blue crystals. 

Conclusion: Our aim was to produce copper sulfate by reacting copper oxide with an acid, for us this was a success. Something I would try to do differently next time is, try and change the color of the crystals.  

English - SEXXXY Paragraph

 The film aspects show meaning in John G Avildsen's film "The Power of One"

S: In the concert scene, we hear the native South Africans sing aloud a song in their language that was written by P.K, the main character. 

E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the South African tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and P.K. composed. 

X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K. - thought the signing - brought the tribes together. 

X: The purpose of this help show that P.K. was the mythical figure of the Rain-Maker. 

X: The singing with the long shots also shows the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.

Y: The singing can be compound to the singing at the boxing match as the now freed natives sing to P.K. to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.

 Spiritual - Music Through Time 

Music was a way for slaves to express their feelings whether it was sorrow, joy, inspiration, or hope. Songs were passed down from generation to generation throughout slavery.

Harriet Tubman was a slave that escaped. She used this passage called the "underground railroad"

Wade in the water was a song that let the slaves know how to escape without being caught, but going into the water. 

Kayne West is a rapper, and a lot of the time there is a passage in the song. The passage was a message, the message was about slavery. In his song "New Slaves" he put in this message: 

They tryna make new slaves
See that's that privately-owned prison
Get your piece today
They prolly all in the Hamptons 

Braggin' 'bout what they made

YR9 Photography Project

Great blog posts have:
Title Grab the reader’s attention	YR9 Photography project
Learning What have you been learning about?  Why did you learn this?	This term in art we have been studying the artist Slinkachu. Slinkachu is an artist who creates a design in public and leaves it there for people to see, each new scene has a different meaning to it. Slinkachu is very creative when it comes to his ideas and creating an awesome outcome of a photograph.  We also focused on an idea called ‘leading lines’ ; this task was using Slinkachu as an inspiration and re-created his art, and putting in some techniques that become really handy when doing any source of art. We also focused on the grid of the drawing, where the focal point was and where the leading lines took place.
DLO How can you show what you have been doing? Screenshot? Photo? Video? Drive?
Reflection How did your learning go?	Personally I think that my photography could have been a little bit better, because I know my personal standards.
Question What do you want your readers to comment on?	What I could have done better with my photographs.
