OJ SIMPSON


(NOW THIS IS EXTRA)
Hello everyone! My name is Mase and this is my digital tech work. For this, we had access to a website that allowed us to remove the background of a picture and put it in front of our favorite location (this is Dublin). It was easy to remove the background and be extra. Anyway, enjoy!

Grandparent's Day

On Monday, a few of our classmates grandparents came to our school. They came for the purpose of telling us about how their past was different to the present. Their were questions such as how they communicated, different technology, what they did at school, etc. It was actually quite interesting to hear about their past and honestly, it was a good experience. Overall, it was interesting and what I can take away from this, is that this present is much more advanced.

My bee writing:THE LIFE OF BEES


Hello everyone! My name is Mase and this is my Bee writing. For this, we had a set task of picking one of three writing styles (poetry, explain, report and also, I picked poetry), then get some bee information and then write about it. I did enjoy writing this, as it was nice to make a descriptive poem, but was a bit time-consuming to finally edit out everything that needed working on. Overall, this was quite fun and I'm excited for our next piece. Anyway, hope you enjoy this and Auf Wiedersehen.

Bees Reading Grid


Hello everyone! My name is Mase with me and Max's reading grid. For this, we had specific articles about bees, which we were to read, evaluate and put information in. It was quite easy to find and evaluate the info, but hard to work with my other partner. Anyway, hope you enjoy this and I'll blog ya later!

Technology

This week ( and a few weeks ), we went to Hukerenui School for our technology unit. The trip there isn't very ecstatic, but when you get there, it's quite enjoyable. Basically, there are 3 different tech units, consisting of hard materials (the one I'm in...), soft materials and cooking. In hard materials, we are making a Marble Maze, which consists of a pinball-like contraption in a box. In soft materials, they are making a necklace mold and actually creating that mold and in cooking you just cook different foods. Overall, it's actually quite fun and even though it's 20$ to go for the rest of the 2 terms, it's very fun to do.

Ethanol

Ethanol (or alcohol) is a chemical compound consisting of the formula C 2 H 6 O. It's a volatile, flammable and colorless liquid, of which has a slight characteristic odor to it. Ethanol is naturally created by fermenting sugar with yeasts or through a petrochemical process, which turns it into the recreational drug we all know (beer, wine or spirits). Ethanol also has medical purposes, such as the use of antiseptics or disinfectants. Ethanol is also commonly used as a chemical solvent, either in chemical testing or in the synthesis of other compounds. 

Fact: It's also a psychoactive drug, which is a substance that changes the neurological side of your brain (such as behaviors, mood function and consciousness).
 Above is the chemical formula.
