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.

Music Evaluation

 1. This year I enjoyed learning how to play the Piano. 

2. Something I found challenging this year was trying to understand the guitar. 

3.  Our group did a piano duet along with a ukulele, to the song All of me. We choose this song because we felt like it had a nice rhythm to it and we really wanted to try something outside our comfort zone. 

4. I was really nervous to perform at the start, but once I did it I felt better. 

5. Personally I was a little disappointed about myself in the performance because I did mess up at the end, wasn't really noticeable. 

6. I really enjoyed music this year!

 Open Steak Sandwiches 

In food class, our task for the lesson was to make an open steak sandwich. This lesson required a lot of prepping with food. First, we chopped up all the fillings and put them into bowls, and cooked the steak, once we were ready we put what fillings we wanted into our sandwich, we ate it. I'm vegetarian so I didn't have steak in mine, but it still tasted good. If I was to ever re-cook this again something I would change is the bun it would make it bigger so it's more filling. 

Rice Paper Spring Rolls 

Last week's lesson was rice paper spring rolls, I personally didn't like these they were just not my type of food. The rice paper tasted like plastic. Inside there were a bunch of vegetables. If we wanted to we could dip it into some sweet chilli sauce to give it some flavour. These were not a favorite and I wouldn't cook them again.

Dissolving

 What are the ideas from today? 

- Dissolving 

What factors affect dissolving? 

- Surface, Mixing, and  Temperature 

Aim method and Results: 

Aim: To figure out the rate of dissolving depending on temperature and string.

Method: To get 50ml of water and a spatula of sugar, depending on what one we were doing. 1 2 3 4. We then put the sugar into the beaker of water, and timed how long it took to dissolve 

1 CW + S + STIR	2 HW + S + STIR	3 HW + S + NS	4 CW + S + NS
490s 70s each	213s 27s each	590s 98s each	622s 124.4s each

These are the results from all groups, the number up the top is all the seconds combined, and the number below it. We thought that the Hot water, sugar, and string would be the fastest because of the hot water giving the sugar more energy to move and dissolve, we also thought the Coldwater, sugar, and no stiring  Would be the slowest because your not stirring it which is isn't getting around which then the cold water takes slower to dissolve the sugar. 

Tokelauan Language Week

 This week is Tokelauan Language Week. Today we created a DLO about some phrases used in Tokelauan Language. I created little flashcards to use o learn these phrases. 

Business & Enterprise Kete

For the past 3 weekes we have been involved in the B&E kete of 2020. 

My file in this has been the CEO, and my job was to make sure that the business we created was coming together, keeping all the other roles in place. 

Our company was called 'Spinkaholics LTD' 

Our product was a cake in a cup. 

My reflection  on how the business went overall is that our group did really well and end up selling out of our product. I also think that everyone in the group played their role in our buinessness really well, everything was done on time there was no mucking around and things moved fast! 

My reflection on the overall B&E is that is was a really good experience for the second year. I think it was a good day to get out of thee classroom and doing something new.
