Slave trade blog
Hello bloggers today I'm doing a blog about the slave trade triangle which took place during the 1800's
The Atlantic slave trade or Euro-American slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of various enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.The major Atlantic slave-trading nations, ordered by trade volume the British, the Spanish, the French the Dutch several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.
Here is my work about the trade: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/d/edit?mid=13LhCISqkZq-LC3r8WvEeVpw_FKTxIQqu&ll=15.692588612346043%2C0&z=2

Making salts II
The aim for the experiment is to produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with acid
The equipment I needed for the experiment was Copper oxide powder, 0.5 mole of dilute, sulfuric acid, 50 mL of measuring cylinder, two 200 mL beakers, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula and a stirring rod
Method
1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100 mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70'C and then turn off the beaker
2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds
3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool
4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.
5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.
6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter though
7.Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 mL of water.
8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin
9.Gently heat the beaker until the solution starts evaporating basin has reduced by half
10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disrupted (i.e a window-sill) and observe over the next dew days.Blue copper sulfate crystals should form
Observations: I think what would happen during the experiment is that I will mess up.

Creative writing: Haiku
Hello bloggers this blog will have short poems because of the thing im about to do its called a Haiku. A Haiku is a type of poetry where there are 17 syllables 5 in the first line 7 in the second line and 5 in the last line. So my examples are about the seasons of the world.
Summer
The water was hot
So I built a sandcastle
then it got knocked
Autumn
The leaves were crunchy
Because the trees dropped the leaves
And I had a Pie
Winter
The snow was real cold
Creative writing
Hello bloggers today im doing Sensory language as one of my tasks for my creative writing, If you are wondering what sensory language means well it means that its a way to help the reader to feel what the writer feels like the five sense's Sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell.
But theirs a twist I have to NOT use the words of the 5 sense's so here's my example.
I found a sword in the ground and it was big as a car and it took many days to take the sword out and swung it to a pig. But then cut it in half and the pig was delicious and the scent was good because I cooked it right but then my friend threw the pig into the ravine and it made a big boom then it was night so then I went into my comfy sleeping bag and slept.

Naruto quotes
Wake up to reality, Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world, the longer you live the more you realise, That the only things that exist in this reality are merely Pain, suffering and futility... listen everywhere you look in this world wherever there is ,light there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there are a concept of victors the Vanquish will also exist .The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, will initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses, casuals relationships that cannot be separated.

Introduction to Creative writing
Personification is where someone is giving an object or animal human characteristics to create interesting imagery
For example: My alarm clock yells at me to wake up
Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Such a word itself is also called an onomatopoeia.
For example: "oink", "meow", "roar" and "chirp"

DTE Assessment reflection
In this Assessment in DTE We are recapping what we done for the last 4 weeks. We made our arena for the spheros to fight but we did not finish the arena because I was messing around for a bit.
Summary: We were thinking about making gladiator type arena where the spheros fight but we thought about making the Colosseum in Rome because thats where the gladiators fought in the roman times because of their crimes against the roman empire. But we didn't finish it all and we didn't take pictures because we forgot about taking pictures.But we have a picture of our coding.
Personal Reflection: Overall we did an ok job about the assessment we didn't finish but we had fun doing the Assessment. Because we were working as a team and enjoying the work.

HUR5 Blog post
In Hur 5 I did Maths and algebra with Mr Carter. In Algebra we were doing maths with pictures For 5 weeks I liked the algebra part because it teaches me stuff about algebra like numbers ,pictures and symbols. In Maths I calculated the distance and speed for a paper aeroplane I also liked the maths part because it teaches me the Maths part like numbers plus minus and times.
I loved Hur 5 because it taught me the ways of maths and algebra in One Hurumanu usually it would take me a couple of months to learn one part of Algebra.Mr Carter did an OK Job at teaching me and the class algebra and maths in a short amount of time.

hurumanu-fossil fuels
R
FACTORIES: Making clothes, cars, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. When materials like plastic, cardboard, metal, and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water.
TRANSPORTATION: Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running and that destroy the trees
