2. pencil 
3. pin
4. two sticks

• Wind Manager

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field
2.	Old J Block site
3.	Grass hill in quad
4.	Tennis Court gate

• USING A4 PAPER DRAW YOUR RESULTS ON A GRAPH.
• TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GRAPH AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR BLOG

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

CONCLUSION:

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong
8	62-74	390	Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress.	Gale
9	75-87	470	Slight structural damage.	Gale
10	88-101	550	Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs.	Whole gale
11	102-116	640	Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage.	Whole gale
12	117 or more	730+	Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage.	Hurricane

Based on your findings what was the Wind Speed and the Beaufort Wind Force for each area.

	Spins per minute	Wind speed ( kph)	Beaufort Scale
Field	60	13-20 (kph)	3
Old J Block site	40	6-12(kph)	2
Grass hill	20	6-12(kph)	1
Tennis Court Gate	15	2-5(kph)	0

conclusion:

We found out that the wind speed on the field is 13-20(kph)
 the other places around the school didn't have much air flowing in that area because of the buildings and the staff in the way the air in the field is free space.  

Hurumanu-solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which colour attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis:

Materials:

1.  tinfoil cup with foil
2. plastic cup and plastic bag 
3. white cup and white paper
4.  water from the teacher
5.  a lamp 
6. thermometer 

Steps

1.  Collect your Plastic 
2.  Collect the tin foil
3.  Collect the cups
4.  Pour water into each cup
5.   Put the thermometer into each cup after each recordings.
6. Put down your findings

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15
30
45

conclusion:

We found out that the White cup was the less warm cup out of all of the cups. Secondly we found out that the tin foil cup was the hottest out of all of them and the plastic cup was 

Hurumanu-renewable energy

Aim: To make a solar powered oven.

Materials: 

1. Card box pizza box
2. Tin foil
3. Glad rap
4. Cello tape
5. Ruler
6. Straw
7. Marshmallow
8. Chocolate biscuit
9. Black plastic bag
10. Newspaper
11. Scissors
12. Vivid maker

Steps:

1. Cut out the flap on the lid of the pizza box so that it is 5 cm around the edge.
2. Sellotape some tinfoil on the inside of the flap.
3. Sellotape some glad wrap so that the hole you have cut out on the pizza box lid is covered over with glad wrap.
4. Put a piece of black plastic on the bottom of the inside of the pizza box.
5. Make a paper square that fits inside the pizza box and lays around the edge.
6. Put a marshmallow on the top of the chocolate biscuit , place it on a plate and put it in the solar oven.
7. Put it in the sun to cook. 

Conclusion:
We couldn't get much sun to cook the marshmallow's and the chocolate biscuit

what i did in the holidays

Hi i am going to talk about my holiday and what i did in the holiday's

My Highlight:

In the holiday's we were doing a BBQ for the family i was cooking the chicken and my uncle was doing the sausages and my mum was in side the house making the potatoe salad and once we finish making the food then we gathered altogether and and my uncle did the prayer then we all did our own by just grabbing how much food we wanted to eat once everyone was full the i cleaned all the dishes and we watched movies on Netflix on the T.V and everyone including me we all went to sleep.

My low light:

 just staying at home doing nothing all i did was clean the house and and my little brother annoying me all day long nonstop he will only stop once i'm about to slap him in the head then he will stop and my sister wont stop getting smart and being annoying she will just wont stop hitting me and man once there gone i have quiet and i can relax and sleep. 

Maths DLO

last week we have been working on our DLO we have been solving problems and book work and here is some complete work.

hurumanu- solar energy project

Written by:paea

Title	Solar energy
Aim	To see what colour attract to the sun heat
Hypothesis	I thought the plastic clear cup will be the hottest .
Materials	1.White paper  2.White cup 3.Black plastic 4.Clear cup 5.Black plastic cover  6.Tinfoil  7.Sliver cup 8.100mls water 9.Thermometer 10.Heat pump 11.timer
Steps	Collect your materials  And heat pump   Set it up  Pour water into each cup   Put the thermometer into each cup after each recording. Put down your findings
Data/Findings	We found out that the White cup was the less warm cup out of all of the cups. Secondly we found out that the tin foil cup was the hottest out of all of them and the plastic cup was second hottest
Conclusion	In  conclusion my findings in this experiment state that the tin foil was hottest but the plastic cup wasn’t the hottest  the tin foil was attracted to the sun heat that's why the others were less it wasn't like the tin foil it had more heat in the cup.

Hurumanu-water cycle

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	small	small
Amount of Water	small	small
Acidity	none	3

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments:

Conclusion: the normal water cycle worked well and it was easy to do i,ve leaned a lot of staff about  the water cycle.

the water cycle with the acid the litmus changed colour and the gas is in the bag it might evaporate

Stop motion

today we are working on making clay character for our stop motion. And here's some complete work that we've made

Blake made the whale and the seaweed and a snake 

I made the octopus  and two fishes And Asia made the shark
what was challenging
making the characters made out of clay. it was difficult to make the whale and octopus and the shark and plus i had to make an other fish and add some sea creatures in the sea just to make it easy the stop motion is about baby shark but different  theirs other sea creatures in the ocean too.
and thanks for reading the amazing stop motion. 

stationery fundraiser

How are we going to spread our message to the community
1. put some posters on the power poles and post it on Facebook and twitter

who do you think will get involved
1.our school hornby high school

how many kgs do you predict we will collect
1. 2 kgs or more we should do 4 kgs

what should do with the donation money we receive from Terra cycle

Hurumanu-Climate change

Factories

There's a lot of harmful gases released into the air and water

Transport

The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running

Electricity

Electricity can come from renewable sources

Cows 

With about 1.5 billion cows around the world, methane is having a big effect on climate change

Landfill

Our lands are growing and using up more healthy land

Food

We need food to survive ,but it creates a lot of pollution .
