Mask Making

 In drama this term we have been making masks from scratch. We had to do a lot of research about performing masks and we had to decide on what animal our mask was gonna be. Our mask had to be an animal and it could be fantasy or real. I decided on a Barn Owl. You can't really tell because there is no feathers that we could use and you can't see the pencil lines.

This is my barn owl mask.                                                    

Hopefully, we get to perform soon because I want to use my mask again. We haven't been able to perform yet because every time we are going to perform it starts to rain.

This is the slide that we have been using to do our mask making. Don't worry about the last few slides.

Acids and Bases

2. What are 3 examples of acids? Citric acid, Acetic acid, and Gastric acid.

3. What are some natural acids? Lactic Acid and Oxalic Acid

4. What is the PH scale? The pH scale is something used to measure how acidic/basic water is.

5. What does PH stand for? Potential (Power) Hydrogen

6. P stands for? Potential (Power)

7. H stands for? Hydrogen

8. What is the most famous indicator? Red cabbage leaves

9. How many numbers are there on the PH scale? 0-14

10. What are the numbers for an acid? 0-6

11. What numbers are for a base/alkaline? 7-14

12. What flavour are acids. Acids are usually very sour or Bitter.

HHS 2021

Today in hurumanu with Mrs. Alpers we had to write about a positive aspect about school this year for the students coming next year. I chose to do science because the experiments that we do in science are so much fun and the science teachers are really cool too. The experiments are really enjoyable and I was looking forward to science since term 1. Some of the experiments you will do in science are lighting your hands on fire, making sherbert, chili tasting, making hokey pokey, and heaps more. My favourite one was lighting my hands on fire or making some hokey pokey.

 There is also lots of stuff to do in sports. For Y 7/8 there isn't a lot of sports options but if you get chosen for something I can guarantee that it will be so much fun. There are lots of Friday sport options for winter and summer. There is also lots of fun stuff in PE as well.
