All About Saving Energy - W6

Tech: How To Save & Use Energy. 

For this experiement we used salt water, two cups, four wires, siccors, low energy light bulb, screwdriver and a light switch. We paired with St. Pius as this required safety and help.

Firstly we cut half of the wire making sure some alluniman was left. Now we screwed our two wires into a light bulb contraption. Then we did the same to the light switch, again we made sure it was stiff so our wires wouldn't come out. We connected all our wires to the salt water and the results were...A BIG FAIL!

Mostly everyone in my group believed it was because of the salt since it's been there for about 3-4 years. I found this experiement enjoyable because it showed how much teamwork was needed. It was great seeing my group work together!

TECH: Sciene - Earthworms

For tech we discovered and learnt all about earthworms. Earthworms are essetinal than it looks like. Earthworms help to produce with the soil to make sure it's clean and healthy. 

Actually when they're contributing it takes a lot of effort to roam around underground. Especially as there's a large amount of dirt surrounding you. Someday I hope everyone will look at earthworms 

a different way!

TABLOIDS - WATER FUN?!!

Tabloids is an entertaining activity for Ruapotaka School where we get into our house colours and compete.For 2020 the staff decided to add water. I really enjoyed how we could wear our house colours to show which has we came from. 

The most amusing activity my group did was the water slide going down the hill with Mrs. Golder & Ms. Kingston. The slide was a bit broken but I'd say I had a terrific experience. Next time I hope to be free and with my group! :)

Coronavirus Disease Spreading Globe?

A number of cases involving coronvirus has been spreading around. As you all know coronavirus is a big current topic at the moment. Many countries have been affected by this disease like China, Italy, Europe etc. Recently 4-5 cases in New Zealand have been confirmed and has the New Zealand citizens shocked. Resulting in them buying a lot of medication. 

Some things to help you not have the virus is wash your hands more often, stay clean, hydrate yourselfs and be safe. Most importantly make sure you cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing. You never know when util you have it. 

Technology: LIGHT BULBS - W4

On Wednesdays the year 8's and 7's go to Tamaki College for technology. My group is doing science with Ms. Sharma. The last few weeks have been amazing because I learnt so many things about plastic, science and our upcoming topic, energy.

Last week we researched a lot about light bulbs and the power they hold wether it's good or bad. Next we took wires and connected them both to a light contraption. Kate and I were shocked. I hope this week will be more fascinating and interesting!

TRIP To Hamlin's Hill?!!

Last Friday the year 8's and 7's had the opportunity to observe and search for pests/traps at the Hamlin's Hill mountain. We saw many extraordinary landscapes and discovered a lot about how to trap pests. The most factual thing I learnt was, our animals are transported from 

different countries. Example: rabbits. 

For me this trip was important because it's good to learn about animals/pests and how we can keep our communtiy & area safe. Thank you Frazer for this opportunity!

Fresh Start For 2020 - BLOG Profile🌞

Malo e lelei, my name is Limiteti and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. I’m a year 8 attending Ruapotaka Primary School and my teacher is Mrs. Cardoza. 

I have four siblings in total and my culture is full Tongan. My most liked subject in school is history because it’s fascinating to research about the past world. For my hobby, I enjoy multiple things but my most favorite is probably investigating/prediciting the future. 

Growing up I had many aspirations like being a teacher or someone who owned a bakery store. I’m still confused and lost of what I want to pursue when I’m older but, I strongly want to be someone who takes care of animals or keeps them safe. 

Some goals I want to accomplish during this year is getting accepted into a good college and improving my knowledge and grades. It will be tough as a year 8 but in the end, I hope focusing on my work is worth it.  I can't wait to see what 2020 has to offer, thank you for reading my blog profile.
