Jacinda Adern's Ifoga ceremony

Image
At the Auckland town hall, Jacinda Ardern had a mat draped over her as a sign for forgiveness by her ministers and MPs, This Ifoga or an apology ceremony was because of all the dawn raids. Meaning of a Dawn Raid, The police will find people who had over stayed their visa and send them back to their homes in the island.  After the mat draped over her, she went to do her speech talking about what happened and all that.

Making/examine onion cell slide.

Image
Equipment - Knife, Onion, Forceps, Iodine, cutting board, microscope, cover slip and slide  Today I was in a group of 3 and our science teacher told us what to do. First we got an Onion, cutting board and a knife to cut an onion and then we used a forceps to peel the onion peel inside the onion not outside to get what we want so we can see an onion cell. Then we use a slip to put an onion peel on and went to our science teacher to do the rest. She put on Iodine and a cover slip on ours and went to a Microscope, as we made it to our microscope we couldn't see anything at first so we got some help then we could see what they would call "a beauty"   I seen better things but as always at least we did something for the first time. This is something I might not do in the future but something I might enjoy.

Year 9 camp

Image
 On Monday the 24th every year 9 that signed the camp notice got to go camping at camp adair. It was not what I thought it would look like exactly, like there were dorms with bunk beds but it was fun at the same time. There were so much activity, like the confident course which is not my favourite as you are in mud that smell like cow poo As you can all see, I was having life regrets to that moment :'( Then there was rock climbing which was alright but I was always tired so I couldn't think so much to where I put my hands and legs, After Monday it was Tuesday and me and my group in our dorm woke up around 6 because it was breakfast and it was cereal and then we had to go back to our dorms and clean also packing our stuff to go back  Very short blog this was suppose to be posted 2 weeks ago

What I like about science

The topics I like in science is a recent one and it's about volcanoes because it's a mountain that explodes Lava and fireballs. There are many parts of a volcano that I don't wanna name mostly because I can't name most of it all I remember is main vent. The other things like the tools such as the bonsai burner, test tube, scale and much more. The thing I wanna do is use Chemicals and mix them to see what they do like the elephant toothpaste experiment. There many things in science I want to do and there was many things I learnt. I like science, mostly because I the fun things I can do experiments. ok bye
