Bottle Experement

Hypothesis: The sound of air pitches at different levels when blown into air space.
Materials:

Empty juice bottles of different sizes
Water
Air

Procedure:

1. Arrange the empty juice bottles from the smallest to the     largest.

2, Blow air into the bottles, and listen to the pitch of the sound.

3 .Fill each bottle with water up to the level marked on the bottle.
once again,
4. Blow air into the bottle and listen to the pitch of the sound.

Results.
Once water was placed in the bottles,, the pitch of the sound changed according to the size of the bottle each time we blew into it.
This also came about with empty bottles, just blowing air into them. We found the larger the bottle, the lower the pitch of the sound.

Conclusion:

From this experiment, I have learnt that air pitches at different levels when blown into different sized bottles.

The Crowd Goes Wild

The CROWD GOES WILD! Everyone couldn't wait for the Olympics. The Olympics are the most important sporting event in the world.Staying at home because I was sick, made it easier for me to watch the Olympics. I was really surprised by the Fencing because I hadn't seen this sport before.What caught my attention was the way they used the sword and the protective clothing they wore. I was impressed by the  Synchronised swimming. Especially how the swimmers synchronised their moves and I wondered how long it took them to learn.

I so looking forward to the Shot Put and Valerie Adams at the next Olympics. I hope Valerie wins gold for  New Zealand again.

Sand Between My Toes

Yay!  It’s the holidays!

One hot afternoon, I went to Mission Bay for a walk, because I stayed over at my uncle’s house who lives across the beach. My older brother and I went for a walk on the beach.I took off my colourful sandals so I could  feel the warm, crinkly sand between my toes.

Marcus and I went over to the Ice Cream truck to buy a delicious Banana Split ice cream. It was YUMMY! It tasted so cold and it melted so fast in my mouth because it was really hot walking in the raging sun.

Usually Marcus would trick me into walking near the baby blue sea so he could pick me up and throw me into the water for fun. We kept strolling along the warm sand and he kept trying to push me into the water.

After awhile my family came running up to us and said we had to leave because my mum had to go to a  funeral.I was so relieved because I didn't want to get wet.

Culture's At Glenbrae

On Thursday morning, Glenbrae school had a Culture Walk around. Every class did a different culture. Room 1 did Netherlands, room 2 did Cook Islands, room 4 did Tonga, room 7 did South Africa, room 8 did Iran and room 10 did Niue.

My favourite one was Room 10 because I learnt how to sing the national anthem and food preparation.

Afe, who is on the Board of Trustes, came and answered all our questions. It interested me the way Afe said the Currency is the same as New Zealand Money. He said that Niue is part of NZ and that Niue only has 1 island,not like other Pasific island countries like Tonga,Samoa and Fiji.

Niue really interests me,with the languages too.

My Place In This World

Hi my name is Tame’e.
My Family comes from Tonga, but my Dad comes from Vava’u which is town in another part of Tonga. My Mum comes from the Capital of Tonga, Nuku'alofa.

My Goals are to study Singing and Drama. My idol is my older sister Eseta. She taught me how to sing when I was just 4 years old.

My  strongest interest is singing because my family have been singing all their  lives. My brother and his band, which won Pacifica Beats, made a song for all reggae lovers called Reggae’s My Heart. So I want to be the next step on the family musical tree. I really want to sing and do drama because I want to follow in my parents footsteps. My mum and Dad were always the soloists in the youth group at our church.
Reggae has been in my family since my brother and his band won Pacifica
Beats.
.
Sometimes I sing in church with my family and other young people.
We always have a chance to compete with other youth in singing competitions.
I really want to get in to University to be a Music Teacher to help kids follow their dreams of singing.  

Stopping Distance and Pedestrian Safety

Yeah!! This morning we had tips from Constable Julie.The main learning  was about Stopping Distance and we also learnt about pedestrian safety.

Constable Julie took us to the netball court to estimate how far would a car need to stop at different speeds?
Constable Julie measured 70 meters from the Playground to Room 9 in the senior school.

I have learnt a lot more about Stopping Distance and Pedestrian Safety.I'm really looking forward to her next visit.
