Day 1 In the beginning Activity 3 SLJ
Day 1 In the beginning Activity 2 SLJ
Activity 2
For this activity we have to think about what we think is special about our hometown and what we love about it.
First there are so many unique things to do here in christchurch one of those things are.
1. A jailhouse hotel were they turned a prison into a hotel and it looks so cool i mean you get to stay inside a old prison

2. Adrenaline forest this one i have done before and it is so much fun and scary it is where you are hooked to a harness with clips attached and you go up to theses fun courses full of flying foxes and ziplines and it gets really high up.

even though these fun things are so cool to do the thing that makes christchurch special is its history and its scenery and beautiful structures.

Science RoadShow
Today the science roadshow came to our school.It started off with Shane and Anna putting on a show in the front of the learning street. They called the show fire and ice they showed us some cool tricks and they talked about temperatures of things we use in our everyday life. One of the tricks was they had a metal stick with a hoop on the end of it. He then gave one of the volunteers a ball and said to drop the ball through the hoop to see if it would fit and it did easily. He then put the stick into a container full of liquid nitrogen. after a little bit he pulled out the stick and asked for the volunteer to do the same thing , drop the ball through the hoop but this time it didn't fit. After he explained the trick and told us that the molecules when they are cold they move closer together. After their show they opened up the classrooms where there was a whole lots of science activities that we could do and find out about what causes it to happen. It was a really fun experience and you learn a lot from it.
Here are some photos of the things we did.

Musical Theatre - Bugsy Malone
For the 2018 passion projects i'm doing musical theatre and this year for musical theatre we are going to be performing Bugsy Malone. If you didn't know Bugsy Malone is based in the 1920 and in the 1920 things were very different from how we live now. For Bugsy Malone My characters are. I think this going to be entertaining and lots of fun to perform.
Lena - Lena is a character who thinks she is the best and its all about her. She ends up knocking blousey out of the way and making it all about her.

Shady - Shady is a character that is working for sam but is also working for dandy dan and plays a part to set up a crucial scene.

So to understand these characters more i'm going to do some research about what it would be like for them in the 1920s .
What was The Fashion like ?
Girls
The fashion back then is different to the now days back then these were the trendy things for them.
Short Flapper style clothes that provided freedom of movement
Striking Art Deco designs
Cloche hats and bobbed hairstyles
The boyish 'garconne' look and adoption of male clothing
Casual styles for day wear as worn by Norma Shearer ( one of the fashion icons ) in the photo
Fun, fringed flapper dresses or glamorous silk gowns for evening attire
Boys
The essential part of a 1920s man’s wardrobe was his suit. For day, evening, office, or parties, a man always wore a suit. The only exceptions were for blue collar workers, sport players or Young men or collage men who dressed more casually. But, even they owned suits and wore them with pride.
What sets 1920s men’s suits apart from other decades are the material and fit. Suits were mostly made of thick wool or a wool tweed, and pants made of wool based flannel that made them heavier than today’s suit materials but lighter than the previous decades. Suit jackets were either single or double breasted and featured 3 or 4 buttons up the front. The top button came to the center of the heart, giving way to notch lapels. The highness of the suit lapels is what really sets 1920s suits apart from suits of other eras.Also the mens suits were bright colors with vibrant patterns.

Homemade Solar Heaters
Aim= Our aim was to plan,create and test a homemade solar panel. Not only that but our aim was also to use our solar heater that we had created to heat up some water and find out the temperature using a thermometer
Method= First we planned a design that we thought could heat water. the teacher then showed us what design we were going to be creating. we then did a paper mache balloon and left it to sit for a few days. we then popped the balloon and cut the paper sphere in half. we then wrapped the inside of the half circle in tin foil so that you couldn't see any paper on the inside. we then filled up a beaker with water and put it in the inside then left it out in the sun to heat up. we then measured the water to find the results.
Results= In the end the air temperature was 24 degrees and we heated up the water to 37 degrees which is a 13 degrees difference so i would say it worked.
