Design and shape:
I am a Year 9 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment.

Math and Science Project
Report write up
Aim:What is the aim of this project?
The aim of this project was to showcase our math and science skills we have learned over the past weeks to our teachers.
Method:What template did you pick and how many light bulbs? What rooms did you give your house?
I chose the excellence template and I put 12 light bulbs in my house. The rooms I had in my house was a lounge, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage, dining room, and some other randoms (storage, hall, extra lounging room)
Results: Area Ohm's Law calculations
Discussion:What do the terms voltage, current, resistance mean? How did you do the calculations? Do the calculations make sense?
Current means the flow of electricity, Voltage means the force of electrons, and resistance means the force against the current. I did the calculations by taking the knowledge i already know and working out the numbers that were missing.
Page of answers
Conclusion:Did you enjoy the project? Would you do anything differently if you were to do it again? Different level? Number of bulbs?
I enjoyed the project and I wouldn’t do anything differently. I liked the template I chose, and I didn't mind the amount of light bulbs I chose.
Some other working :
Area of house: 219m
Perimeter of house: 60.17m
Garden area: 30m
Garden Perimeter: 32m
The voltage and current of each light bulb in the house:

Ancient Roman Inventions.
Lots of the ancient inventions have helped this generation in multiple different ways.
The Roman Inventions still matter a lot in these days because they are very well built and have been evolved into to different versions from the first made.
Some evidence that the Roman Inventions are really important and used still to this day are the aqueducts, arches used in structure building, roman numerals, and surgical tools (there are way more examples)
Overall Roman Inventions were so smart and helpful that they are still used to this day.

Roman Research
Some Roman inventions have really impacted and help or lives from day to day.
No.1
Roman numerals.
Roman numerals are somethings that has helped our lives a lot. It is used a lot when numbers series of movies, and numbering sets of things. This has impacted the way people number things. For example the iPhone (x, xr, xs, or xs max), Roman numeral clocks, and other things.
Example
No.2
Arches
Using arches in structural building is a really helpful to hold and support lots of wait. It has impacted our live a lot in a good way. It has been used in a lot of bridges that have been build, doorways, and used in some big castles.
No.3
Aqueducts
Aqueducts have helped improved the future (now) so much. It has helped with the water flow and currents.
No.4
The first surgical tools. Having the first surgical tools have been a big improvement and helped. They were the cause of all the develop into what they are now. They were very helpful back then because before the surgical tools were made nobody's wounds and sores could be fixed.

Gymnastics
For the past four weeks for gym we have been doing gymnastics. We have been using 6 apparatus -bar, beam, parallel bars, trampoline, mini tramp, and floor/mat.
One challenge for me was doing a head stand because I get really light headed easily.
One achievement for me was doing a bridge because I didn't think my back was that flexible.
I have included my assessment form.

Exploring Characters
Task 1)
Three of these characteristics that Martha had a strength in was Love, Bravery and Forgiveness. Martha was a very brave character in this story. There are some parts of the book that shows it like when she started at her new school it was very brave of her, and Martha walking the same way home with all the kids following and teasing her was very brave. She had a strength in Love because she was able to become good friends with someone who was part of bullying her in the past. And Forgiveness also comes along with that too because she was able to forgive Scott after he joined in with the kids that followed her home and she then became best friends with Scott. Three of the characteristics she lacked was Appreciation of Beauty, Honesty, and zest. Martha lacks Appreciation of beauty in her character because she is shown as insecure and believes people are always judging her even when she has never talked to them before when she shouldn't be thinking like that. The character Martha lacks the personality trait Honesty quite a lot because she lied about things to Scott and tried to hide things from him like her house and she hides other things from him. Martha's character in the book abomination lacks the trait zest because she would never really show much energy in her personality and she would always come off as if she didn't really care that much.
Scott's characters strengths in his personality was bravery, hope, and Perspective. Scott showed a lot of Bravery in the book when he stood up to the people that bullied Martha and then became friends with Martha and then began to start liking her. Scott showed a lot of hope in Martha when he became friends with her and he showed that he truly cared about her. In abomination another trait Scott showed well was perspective, he was thinking about how it made Martha feel and he began to start sticking up for her. Three traits Scott lacks to show is Kindness (at the start), Curiosity, and Judgment(towards the end). Scott lacks to show kindness at the start because he was joining in bullying Martha and he would follow along with the group that would bug Martha. Through out this book Scott lacked to show curiosity, because when he wanted to pay for Martha he only thought of one reason why she couldn't go and believed that was the definite reason why. But really his farther had to explain to Scott that it could be a religion, family or different reason other than money.

Land March DLO
What was the NZ Land March (what was the Nz land march, where was it and who was involved?)
The New Zealand Land March was a Protest led by Dame Whina Cooper with over 5000+ people involved so the Maori could gain there land back that was taken. The Protest started on the 17th of September 1975 and was led through Te Hapua all the way to Wellington. The protest finished on the 13th of October 1975 which means it lasted about 29 days.
Understand the events that caused the protest (Why did the protest take place? What problems did the Maori face in the past that lead to the Land March?)
In the early 1970s, growing Maori anger over land alienation led to activism. In the 1975 hīkoi ('stepping out'), protesters marched from North land to Wellington to ask the government to halt further losses of Maori land. Here they walk past Porirua towards their final destination, Parliament.
Understand how the event helped to shape NZ's future (What happened after the NZ land march? What changes took place? )
After the NZ March the Maori were listened to more and got the respect they deserved and hadn't gotten in the past. The Maori language is now used and taught a lot more than it was previously.
What worked well?
What worked well was my map and the notes worked well as well. It has all the information I need and can answer all the questions I currently need it to.
What was challenging?
I found the finding the information a little bit hard when I started but it got easier as I worked along.
What would you do differently next time?
I wouldn't do anything differently because it worked out pretty well and i got all the information i needed.
