Hypothesis

For my science project, I am doing "growing rock candy crystals."
My hypothesis is "Adding hot water will dissolve the sugar quicker because hot water has more energy than cold water."

What do you think will happen?

Peer Mediation

At school for the last 2 weeks, the Year 7/8's have been doing peer mediation. Peer mediation is where you have a buddy, go around the school to help little kids and their situation.So far for peer mediation, it has been quite fun and interesting. Mieke and I had to keep little kids off the back paddock.This was hard because some little kids just ignored us and ran into the back paddock. To get them to listen we had to get a duty teacher.

Did you have anything like this at your school? If so, was it fun and interesting?

My family culture

At school, we are learning about different cultures. During this week, we were talking about our family's culture. In my family culture for Christmas, every year my mum, dad and I go to my cousins place which is my dad's side of my family. We always have a barbecue and pavlova, ice cream and fruit salad for lunch. We just hang out at their house until 4:00 pm.

What is your family culture?

Science Question

For science, we had to pick a project and think of a question that we can answer through the project.
At the end of the term, we are going to start our project.
I am doing "growing rock candy crystals" and my question is "which temperature of water holds the greatest concentration of sugar?"
I chose this question because I love crystals and it looked quite fun to make.

Have you ever done a science experiment before?

Kaupeka Learner Profile

Last term the Kaupeka hub split into groups and got to write what it means to be a Kaupeka learner.

Creative
My strength is creative because I'm good at using my imagination and I love new ideas.

Collaboration
 My weakness is collaboration because I can never think of ideas to say and I prefer working by myself.
