Social studies (the great pacific patch)

 In social studies we are learning about the great pacific patch, which is a big ass island made of plastic rusbbish. one thin g I've learnt is that if we don't find a solution to this plastic problem there will be more plastic in the sea then fish.

Metals and oxygen

 Aim: to make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactants

Equipment a piece of magnesium, bunsen buner, saftey glasses, metal scissor tongs

method: 

1. light your bunsen buner

2. hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. ensure that you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium

3. place the other end of the magnesium into the bunsen buner flames ( at the top of the blue flame)

4. whe the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damages your eyes.

Results: it made a big bright light

 Aim: To investigate the factors that cause rusting in iron

Equipment: Four test tubes, test tube rack, a bung, four iron nails, boiled water, tap water, salty water, cooking oil, calcium cholride

Method: 

1. label four test tubes A - D and place a test tube rack

Beatlemania

 Who was for the tour

All young Teenagers & Youth people to be at the concert.

Why-All the young people that went to the concert was because their so interested and obsessed with the Beatles and their interests with the topics they decide to sing and the lyrics. But also woman didn't really have a sense of love and affection back in those days because they were seen as housewives and nothing else but that, but as soon as the Beatles were introduced everything just switched.

who didn't want the tour to happen

the older gen wanted to presume with all the music that they grew up with as they thought that it went over board with the lyrics and that they would rather prefer the old version of genres.

  

Poem Wananga 2021

 What the poem your reading?

The city in the sea

Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters he.

No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently-
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free-
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls-
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls-
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers-
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.

There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye-
Not the gaily-jewelled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass-
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea-
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.

But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave- there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide-
As if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow-
The hours are breathing faint and low-
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.
