We are making our Poster, but weren't sure of how it going to look like because there are some details that we aren't sure about. We are waiting for someone to email us back to make our final poster.

The first thing we did was email Mr Rogers to get permission to invite SmokeFree NZ to come to school.

After that we emailed SmokeFree NZ and ask them if they could come to school.

Unfortunately SmokeFree NZ couldn't come but we did contact other organization to come to school.

We got the reply from Stop Smoking Canterbury and they said that they would like to help us in our project

And we already email them back to know when they could possibly come to school.

Action Plan 

Steps needed to achieve the goal.	What will help us achieve this goal?(Enablers)	Possible barriers and how they could be overcome.	Who is responsible for this step?	Date this step will be achieved by.
We need to get permission from Mr Roger if we can do our fundraising during the school time and email the sponsors.	Teacher allowing us to do it during school times. We have sponsors to sponsor the prizes. Mr Rogers permission to do it during lunch and interval.	No one would sponsor us -  we could overcome it by buying prizes with our own money	B.a.p Frances Princess Jennifer	2017/11/22 Or 2017/11/25

Details of the natural disaster (Social studies)

Typhoon Haiyan 

Location: Philippines

Date: November 3, 2013

Time: 4:40 Am

Size: more than 1,850 kilometres (1,150 miles)

Deaths and injured: 6,329 confirmed, 1,074 missing

Number of people involved:

Duration: November 2, 2013 – 11 November 2013

5 facts: 

1. 10 million people affected.
2. Many people are still missing months passed but bodies were still being found.
3. It was the strongest and most deadly typhoon in the Philippines.
4. Many died every minute.
5. 6,300 dead

REFLECTION:

When we were doing the research about the typhoon, I find it interesting because it was the strongest and deadly typhoon in the Philippines, so we put a lot of efforts.

We learned about how the typhoon started or formed and where it started, where was the typhoon first landed.

Year 10 Persuasive Writing Assessment

Year 10 Persuasive Writing Assessment

4 September 2017

Dear Mr Sutton,

                   I am writing because I heard your new rule that you are not allowing us students not to use phones during lessons time, that the phones are will be handed in at the start of the day and collected at the end.

I think that’s kind of unfair because our phones can help us in our study specially when chromebooks are not available or already booked. When the time comes that we have to do our learning/activity etc online and the chromebooks are not available or booked by someone, we can use our phones when chromebooks aren’t available, because sometimes chromebooks were already booked by other teachers. I think that our phones are useful, even it distract students.

It helps us. I know that other students using their phone during lesson time because they were on social medias/games. If you read this Mr. Sutton, I hope you read this because I have a suggestions. I think that my suggestion is useful, because this is just the right thing that we could/should do so that the students are not in social medias/games etc during our learning time. We can just block all the social medias from the school wifi, and the thing or apps that we use everyday when we are learning aren’t blocked.

Most of the students are agreed to change your new rule which is not happened yet. I hope you allow us to use our phones during our learning time

Yours truly,

Jennifer Martin

Making another salt

Making another salt

Aim:

To make copper sulfate crystals (salt) by neutralising copper oxide (base) with a sulfuric acid (HSO)

Observations: (write an observation for each key stage of the process - full sentences please)

1. when we added the copper oxide to the acid, the liquid turned blue and the copper oxide dissolved.
2. the liquid was clear blue after we filtered it.
3. when the water evaporated (4 days later) there were crystals

Results:
Add 3 photos for the final stages of the experiment to illustrate the process.

Components of computer

What’s inside the computer

Motherboard

The motherboard is the computer's main circuit board. It's a thin plate that holds the CPU, memory, connectors for the hard drive and optical drives, expansion cards to control the video and audio, and connections to your computer's ports (such as USB ports). The motherboard connects directly or indirectly to every part of the computer.

CPU / Processor

The central processing unit (CPU), also called a processor, is located inside the computer case on the motherboard. It is sometimes called the brain of the computer, and its job is to carry out commands. Whenever you press a key, click the mouse, or start an application, you're sending instructions to the CPU.

The CPU is usually a two-inch ceramic square with a silicon chip located inside. The chip is usually about the size of a thumbnail. The CPU fits into the motherboard's CPU socket, which is covered by the heat sink, an object that absorbs heat from the CPU.

A processor's speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), or millions of instructions per second; and gigahertz (GHz), or billions of instructions per second. A faster processor can execute instructions more quickly. However, the actual speed of the computer depends on the speed of many different components—not just the processor.

RAM / Random access memory

RAM is your system's short-term memory. Whenever your computer performs calculations, it temporarily stores the data in the RAM until it is needed.

This short-term memory disappears when the computer is turned off. If you're working on a document, spreadsheet, or other type of file, you'll need to save it to avoid losing it. When you save a file, the data is written to the hard drive, which acts as long-term storage.

RAM is measured in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). The more RAM you have, the more things your computer can do at the same time. If you don't have enough RAM, you may notice that your computer is sluggish when you have several programs open. Because of this, many people add extra RAM to their computers to improve performance.

Hard drive

The hard drive is where your software, documents, and other files are stored. The hard drive is long-term storage, which means the data is still saved even if you turn the computer off or unplug it.

When you run a program or open a file, the computer copies some of the data from the hard drive onto the RAM. When you save a file, the data is copied back to the hard drive. The faster the hard drive, the faster your computer can start up and load programs.

Power supply unit

The power supply unit in a computer converts the power from the wall outlet to the type of power needed by the computer. It sends power through cables to the motherboard and other components.

Expansion card

Most computers have expansion slots on the motherboard that allow you to add various types of expansion cards. These are sometimes called PCI (peripheral component interconnect) cards. You may never need to add any PCI cards because most motherboards have built-in video, sound, network, and other capabilities.

Music

1. The song you have chosen. https://youtu.be/L0MK7qz13bU

2. What is the song about? The song presents the ostracised Queen Elsa, who abandons her kingdom when her magical ability to create and control ice and snow is discovered by the public....

3. Why did you choose this song? i like the lyrics!
