Tech

 Today we did floating and sinking and in this session we learnt which shapes floated  and which sinking   and which semi floated.

  

Cybersmart

 

Today for Cyber smart we had to write about our self and. 

Maths

 Today in maths we learned how to work with fractions and our problem was

You are making a fruit salad and need 2/3 of a

cup of passion fruit. You have a 1/2, 1/4 and a ⅙ sized measuring cup. How will you measure the passion fruit? 

We solved it doing 2/3 x 2=4/6 so 6 divided by 2=3 and 4 divided by 2=2 So the final answer is that you need 4 1/6 cups to make 2/3 

Tamaki Tech

 Today in Tech we learned plants and a process which they do called photosynthesis. We talked about what photosynthesis means and how it works. It happens it the leaves. Now we got told what our experiment was and that was to see how plants or what we used celery. We put water in a flask and then we poured approximately 10 drops of food coloring of your choice. Our options were red and blue. Finally we put in the celery stem and stirred it a bit. Now we just had to wait about an hour then cut open the stem and there it was I saw the red food coloring half way up the stem.

 ARCHITECTURE

W.A.L.T We are learning to create accurate floor plans for building a house. We used floorplancreator.net to do this.

Here are my floor plans. (I only did the ground floor because I ran out of time)

3D

What I learned from this activity was

• How to create a floor plan
• How to measure floor plans

When I grow up, if I join the building industry I would like to be a Construction manager/Architect.

Kiwi Can

 Today in Kiwi Can we learned about honesty and why it is important to be honest. We play to games which were Splash and Animal Farm. We had a discussion about why you shouldn't lie to anyone. I had fun today at Kiwi Can and My favorite part was playing Animal Farm as well as playing GKQ (General Knowledge Quiz).

     How Are Buildings Built

As a builder and designer, you would first think about what kind of foundation

would be required according to the height of the building. For example,

the higher the building the lower the foundation would need to be.

The sky tower is 328 meters tall and the foundation goes 12 meters of 39 feet.

After the foundation has been laid you must take the blueprint from

the designer of the building and start placing the framing which can

consist of wood or steel and also concrete which is mostly used in

apartments or commercial buildings. Concrete is used in commercial

buildings mainly because it can resist fire up to 65 or 93 degrees

Celsius and it can also handle a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

The next step is to put in the insulation because insulation keeps

you warm in the winter and also cools your home in the summer

because in summer your house can very easily escalate the temperatures

in your house up to 40 degrees. The insulation cools your home in a way

that blocks the hot air outside from entering the cool inside of your home

and it does that by creating a thermal barrier so that the warm air gets blocked.

Walls are next and for your walls Gib is the best material for internal walls because they are cost-effective, they

are lite weight so that it is easy to maneuver they also

provide decent noise canceling as well as giving a good

fire-resistant rating. Gib is a good material because it is

non-toxic and surprisingly made from 100% recycled paper.

Gib is also known as Plasterboard.

Now you will need windows and doors and in most

modern houses double glazing is used to improve

the noise coming from outside and also preventing

lots and lots of heat from entering your home. And

keeping warm air inside in the winter and cold air

inside in the summer. Doors are extremely

important because they give you access to get in and

out of your house and they give you access in emergencies.

In most modern homes doors are made of fiberglass and solid wood.

You now need a roof and in most newer homes roofs are

made up of metal like galvanized steel or sheet metal.

Sheet metal is good for high winds and thunderstorms because it can move a little bit.

Now in the final bit, you will need all of your connections to work.

For example, you need your water or your electricity and also your

internet and for all of those things, you will need to call an Electrician and a

Plumber and also your internet companies people.    

Sky Tower Visit

Incredible, Astounding, Breathtaking, Gigantic

As tall as a Giraffe

As room 7 from glenbrae school got off the bus everyone stared in amazement as the 328-meter tall building stood in front of us. I couldn't wait to see the breathtaking views from the top as it looked as if I could see the whole of New Zealand from up there. We went into the gift shop which had a small theater when our guide named Maria came in and talked to us briefly about what the clips will tell us. She turned on the screen and we watched carefully. We got prizes if we answered one of the questions she asked about the clip.

Finally, I got on to the elevator and I stood on the glass panel. I was waiting for the outside glass to come so that I could see outside while we were going up which was great fun. In about 18-20 seconds we were at the main observation deck and we got about 15 minutes to wander about and enjoy the views. The books and pencils we got before we came up had some fun activities that you had to do by looking at what you could see. 

We had lunch then we walked down 5 flights of stairs and entered the refuge levels. There are three refuge levels but we went to level 45 because all three of them are identical. They have an orange cabinet which is used to keep medical supplies and food cans in case of a fire, the rooms are circular and the inside post is made of concrete which makes it very stable and safe because concrete can handle a 9.0 magnitude earthquake as well as a fire up to 90 degrees. Just in front of the orange cabinet was a dinosphere and what that does is that it gets struck by lightning and so it stops lightning from striking the tower directly.

Now was the last tour of the Sky Tower and that was the 60th floor which was my favorite part of the trip because you could lean on the windows however I will admit that I was a little bit scared but in the end, I was able to lean with confidence. What we did on level sixty was just to look at the architecture because that is what we went there for. And also just to learn by asking questions.

Finally to conclude I extremely and thoroughly enjoyed that trip although I did feel a bit dizzy when I got off the lifts. I still really enjoyed the trip which was held on the sixth of May 2021. 

Science- Tech

 Today in tech we learned about bubbles and to make the bubbles you need soap and water. We used 125 ml of water and then we put in 5 grams of sugar so then we got the stirring stick and mixed it. Once that was done we mixed in 3 ml of glycerol then finally put in 10 ml of washing detergent and mixed it thoroughly. Now was the fun part and that was to make some sculptures with the bubbles and one of my favorites was to make a square bubble inside the round bubbles.
