For social studies, we have been researching the New Zealand land march. this task took about a week and there were some struggles while I was making this. The task is to create a map of the route that the people walked, it was simple however it took a long time.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

The Springbok Tour Protests
What is another word for apartheid? A rule that separates black from white, Racism.
Why did the protestors need helmets? Special long batons they would hit with and they would also get kicked violently
Why do you think being called honorary whites upset the Maori all blacks? Because whites wanted them to know whites were better
Why was the hamilton rugby game canceled? Anti tour protesters occupied the field chanting
Do you think this protest was successful? Why? Why not? It wasn’t successful because many were injured but at the same time some people got the message
How do you think the New Zealand protests helped Nelson Mandela? The protest helped Nelson Mandela get the message

Climate change is NOT a Lie
Climate change is NOT a lie, I don't think it is a lie because it has already been proven that it's real. Check this out. Scientists, and also others have shown the world that the atmosphere, the air we breathe is warming up with Carbon dioxide. As the air gets more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the air will become more toxic to inhale. Not only that, the environment will be in danger, the animals will have become extinct, there will be a higher risk of wildfires, and why would you try to colonize a whole new planet that is mars, instead of repairing a planet that's already dying. With more trees dying, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is taking over faster. Humans are causing all this, thanks to us it's getting worse because people are tearing down habitats for more land, and more. Right now people are mutilating forests for wood, this is called deforestation and it's getting worse. The oceans will rise due to the ice melting to the growing heat, because of climate change. again, the ice is melting causing animals that used to live there to become extinct thanks to climate change. Here are all the reasons why climate change is serious and why it should be stopped.

Making a political party
Hello, for social studies we made a political party in groups of 3 to 6, our group was called mufti party because we say mufti will solve equality, some of our policies are no more kai time but not as you think, no more uniform, shorter time for some subjects, a longer time for some subjects, and quicker leaving time
our slogan was "try us you'll like us" but then we changed it to "equality is a need"
Our group is made of 4 people including Me, Isaiah, Sam, and Manaia
Our logo was a t shirt with our name over it

Concept of Heat
Hello, for chemistry, our class has been learning about the effects of heat, there are four new words that we have learned about, they are conduction, convection, contraction, and expansion, here are their meanings.
Conduction is when the heat travels through the solid causing it to vibrate.
Convection is the same but it travels through a gas or liquid.
Contraction is when the solid becomes smaller, this happens when you cool it.
Expansion is the opposite, including the part when you cool it.
Examples:
When you heat up a cube the cube becomes larger this is an expansion.
When the heat goes through the cube this will make it vibrate, this is called conduction.
When you cool the cube it will become smaller than it originally was, this is called contraction.
When you heat up a liquid, that will be called convection.
We have also done some experiments that explained these they used these: Contraction (imploding can), Expansion (ball and hoop), Conduction (dropping pins), Convection in liquid (permanganate crystal in water), Convection in gas (tea bag rockets)
