First blog at Campion

 Hello, My name is Charlie, I go to Campion College this is my first blog at Campion.

This is all my modules and impact projects

Today we are going to do our Impact project, For this I have science experiments last week we designed and began to build our  bottle rockets. 

My impact project is science experiments This week we will be launching the rockets, the rockets work like this, we fill the bottles up around halfway with water and then we put a rubber cap on top in the bottle lid after this go to the caretakers shed where he should have an air compressor and we fill the rest of the bottle until it shoots up of the tripod and into the sky, and if all goes well we should get the rockets to around 100m in the air.

Yesterday, we were supposed to go to the pool to do swimming challenges\fun day but in rained to much so NOBODY! was prepared a lot of people were carrying their swimming togs around the entire day, Quite a few people didn't have there chrome-books. I was sad since we couldn't go swimming.

Cafe styles. Cafe class is arts and food so what we do is we make up our cafe name, T-shirts, Uniforms, business card, logos. And for the food side we figure out what foods you can sell in a cafe so we have done Brownie cake, poached and scrambled eggs, Wedges, Smoothies and Fruit muffins. This is portfolio so its some of my work.

Literacy, this class is reading and writing, one of my favorite activities that were doing is we read/listen to this text that was playing on the T.V. and the we had to draw 1 picture for each paragraph and there were about 8 paragraphs. But then for each picture we wrote a paragraph in our own words

Invasion games, this P.E class, but its like navigation class? because we also learn about how to use a compass and how it helps us, on of my favorite things we were doing is playing this game where there's 2 footballs and 2 chairs, the 2 chairs are on separate sides of the field and you have to

Ice candles

 It was SO fun when we ripped the milk carton apart. We made Ice candles to make ice candles you will need,

oil, milk cartons, Ice, tall candles, stove top, pan and old candles

1st you cut off the tops of the milk cartons and spread oil around every side on the inside of the carton, while kids can do that, the adults can start melting the old candles. (then you wait for a bit for the candles to melt)

2nd stick the tall candles in the cartons and put ice around the candles

3rd The adult can pour the hot wax into the cartons and wait 24hrs 

here is what ours looks like!

My November reflection

Today we have been doing our november reflection.

I enjoyed writing everything and remembering all the fun things.

It was tricky to tell my friend next to me to do his work.

Here is my work.

POP ART Composition

 Today we made our pop art, we had to use the tool "Art colouring book" it was so fun and quick we had to pretend the we were at our houses in the summer holidays so nobody was allowed to talk.

We had to watch all the videos that were on our class blog and then we started to colour.

This was the site we used Art Colouring Book:

I chose this one at the bottom because it looked really funky and kind of crazy.

It was tricky to choose a photo to colour in.

I found it easy to colour in the photo

The person who made composition was Mohamed Melehi was Born in 1936. he was an art director at the ministry of culture and cultural consultant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and cooperation.

This was Mohamed Melehi style of the art

This is my style of his artwork

Rat Island prediction

 Today we filled out a form about the story "Rat Island" and we looked at the at the summary on the back the title and the cover and had jot down a couple of ideas on what the story might be about this was my prediction.

Parihaka feather

 For parihaka we red 8 different information cards. And we had to fill in puzzle pieces and at the end it shaped like a feather here is a photo of our feather.

At the start of the 8th card it was fine but when it got to the end it didn't make sense but my partner figured it out.

On the 5 of november we remember all the people who died at parihaka.

Parihaka is a bit south of taranaki, on the fifth

Camp letter

 This week we have been writing letters to Tui Ridge I wrote to Norm who was hosting us there and letting us stay there Tui Ridge was so fun it was the time of life.                                                                                  Here is my letter to Norm.

Dear Norm

Thank-you for letting us come and stay at Tui Ridge,

Thank-you for hosting us and having breakfast, lunch and dinner - it was so delicious.

It was fun doing our table sing off to go to bed, I tried singing ‘The wheels on the bus’ but

I couldn't stop laughing so I sat down,

and Corin stood up and sang the legendary “Baa baa black sheep”.

The activities were so fun.

I personally think that paintball was the absolute best and I bet,

nearly everyone can agree. I thrashed everyone in paintball, laser tag and nerf wars.

Flying fox was coming in a close 2nd place for the best activity.

I got so scared when I put the harness on walking up that stairway to heaven just to get to the flying fox

that was creating butterflies in my stomach. Nerf wars & laser tag were 3rd place.

My friend Mya said she would get revenge in paintball because I got her out in nerf wars twice and

she hit me 4 times so she definitely got revenge from sneaking up on me.

St Mary's Camp 2020 was one of the highlights of my life.

So THANK-YOU! Norm for providing the activities we did. It was so awesome.

No one can Thank-you enough.

Could you think of a heat comparison?

The Pouakai (Haast’s eagle)

This week we have been writing about extinct native animals to New Zealand

Pouakai (Haast’s eagle)

The Haast’s eagle is the largest eagle to ever live.

The Moāri name for the haast eagle is Pouakai. 

The eagles wings were bigger than the a Smart Fortwo the wingspan is 3000 mm the cars length is 2,695 mm.

You would be able to find them in forests and near a lot of bush places. It lived on the South Island of New Zealand, there were no large predators there, until the māori people came.

The bill for the bird was up to 130 mm long.

The male eagle was smaller than 

the female eagle.

It preyed on large flightless birds like the moa which is 15x its weight the haast eagle weighs 17.8 kgs, and the moa weighed 230 kgs.

The māori hunted māori the moa to extinction due to the Haast’s eagles diet which quickly went extinct.

They also went extinct because of the burning of the south island about 500-600 years ago.
