Cooking

 Hello and welcome to my blog todays blog is about the spaghetti bolognese we made in class. 

The spaghetti bolognese tasted really good the texture wasn't weird the color of the meatballs were brown the flavor was good and balance the meatballs weren't  dry. What we could do next time is figure out who is going to do the dishes. I like how we finished early. 

Parihaka

 Hello and welcome to my blog this blog is about the parihaka song and the remembrance of parihaka. Also some questions about parihaka.

The main message from this song is saying how the people of pairhaka are strong and peaceful.

Eg: I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.


The people of parihaka were not violent and peaceful protesters and this part of the song show their passive resistance.

His children's children wearing the white plume.


They wore white feathers on their head to show peace.


They can't pull out the roots is said in this song this means they cant take their culture and their spirit.


The lyrics in this part of the song show how determined they were.

Rise up, defend yourself, never give in.


This song shows the significant parts of parihaka and what makes this significant is it still affects people today.


1,600 people were affected and some people are still affected today.

Senory writing

 Hello and welcome to my blog this blog is about the creative writing I did but I had to included the 5 senses but without using the words smell,taste, touch and see. 

In this small town, nothing really happens but something dragged her by the nose as she hit the door of a flower shop. Her hand wrapped around a metal pole as she stepped into the shop a flood of sounds danced around in her ears. when she gazed at the flowers perfectly lined; it was like there was a sugary sweet kick in her mouth. This is how you will find the new flower shop in town.

thank you for reading have a good day 

Music though time

 Hello and welcome to my blog this blog is about hidden words in music about the slaves that were taken to America.

Harriet Tubman was a black woman born into slavery and she helped people escape and the amazing thing is she never got caught and never lost a person. The way she helped these people escape is by an underground railroad.

This part of history will not be forgotten because black women and men should have never gone through this to all the black people who died because of racism will not be forgotten. 

  Wade in the water 

The song wade in the water is a famous song that is about slaves that would go to the lake and wash away they're sent to run away so the dogs won't smell them and track them down. Music was used to help them keep them interested during the day and to keep their hopes up. 

lyrics

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

my maps take a look at this this is where the slaves were traded and where they traveled on the slave ships.

Physical or chemical change

 (Heating ZnO)

Hypothesis - I think there will be a color change 

Equipment:

sample of ZnO

Hot plate 

scales 

Heatproof container/ evaporating dish

Tongs 

Heatproof mat 

Method-

1.Get a sample of ZnO in an evaporating dish 

2.weigh ZnO and container - recored weight 

2.heat container and ZnO on a hot plate 

3.observe any changes take any before and after photos 

4.place of heat and put on a heatproof mat 

5.let it cool -see what happens 

6.Reweigh 

Results- the color of the ZnO turns a slight yellow color when the ZnO was heated and when it cooled down it changed back to the same color and the weight did not change therefore this is a physical change. 

Conclusion - My hypothesis was right the ZnO did change color.







was your hypothesis right?
