The Forensic Session

On Monday 16th all of Te Kanawa house went to see two cops named Kate Hyde and Gavin Gross in the hall.  They came to teach us about detective work and forensics.  They taught us about how they find cleaned up blood from murder scenes and how they solve crime cases.  I learn't lots about forensic science, like what technology they use and how they use it.  I really enjoyed the morning and learned lots.

Hiroshima Bombing

First Ever Atomic Bomb Drops On Hiroshima

A devastating atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. This bomb was dropped by the Americans to stop this ongoing war against Japan. The bomb obliterated tens of thousands of citizens across the city.The people were disintegrated and burned ,some of them also have their shadow imprinted in the broken concrete. Not every person died though, but the people that survived have huge wounds from the broken glass and other debris from the buildings,the most damaging injury was the burns. Unfortunately for the residents of Hiroshima, they were unaware that the American bomber was about to drop the bomb.                

The atomic bomb was specifically used to blow up across a wide space of area, completely destroying the wooden buildings in the city. The blast power was equivalent 20,000 tons of TNT, killing many citizens.The operation was accepted by US president Harry S Truman to see how much destruction and peace it would bring to the japanese.His intention was to get the japanese to surrender to His country using this atomic bomb. It’s clear that the Americans are paving the way to victory but will japan surrender before they lose another city ?

inquiry- Richard Pearse

For inquiry we have been making inventions from famous people that used the invention and made them.We have to reenacted what happen or how the invention was used in a film using a script to plan it out .My group are making a replica of captain cooks boat and filming about him and his journey.We have to decide what material will be needed to complete our boat,we are using popsicle sticks to try and make the boat float but our boat isn't finished yet so we don't know how it will go.The idea was based on a group of kids at a school in nelson that wanted to enter a ad competition,The theme was based important inventions in the past made by new zealand inventors.They chose Richard Pearse as their inventor and his famous plane.They won the ad competition and finished the plane to make an almost exact replica of his plane.  
 

Modeling At Electronics

I used a breadboard to connect components together without the needing solder them.  I tried different components to see which ones would be suitable for my alarm.  I want my alarm to alert me when my sibling walks into my room.  

Orientering

 These are some photos of my class doing orientering.We had to go around the gardens to find the specific places where the orientering posts were.There are two different course that are ordered from each number on the activator which is the thing that records the time on each post you go to.The numbers you can have on your recorder are only an odd or even numbers that determine the  course you will be doing .Sadly I didn't finish the course but I really liked it a lot.      

Edwards poem

Edwards Poem

Im from the cold winters

from the frosty and warm mornings

Im from the big city and big buses

Im from the large malls  

Im From the bustling people rushing from place to place

Im from dinky cars and pet dogs

with funny personality

Im from the big garden

from the icy windows and small sheds

I am from the crusaders

from the loud crowd and atmosphere

Im from the south island

Im from the young family

Im from the small suburb

Im from the friendly people and welcoming schools

Im from the loud nights

Im from the blackberry pie and food in general

Im from the big balconies but small rooms  

Im from technology

Im from My xbox and games

Im from the restaurants

Im from the land called New Zealand
