hi my name is Camryn and the last 7 weeks we have been doing clay making we made the movie on Imovie my group worked very good the film was good if we had more clay to make bigger trees and car
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Hurumanu - From Trash to Gas: Biomass 2/8/19
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.
Material:
Steps:

Investigation.
What is biomass?
What are the 5 types of biomass?
What are the 5 types of biomass?
- Crops
- Alcohol Fuels
- Wood
- Landfill Gas
- Garbage
What are three benefits of biomass?
- Renewable. We will always have the sources of biomass such as crops, manure and garbage.
- Carbon Neutral. This is maybe most important of the advantages of biomass energy.
- Cost-Effective. Energy harnessed from biomass is inexpensive compared to coal and oil.
What are three disadvantages of biomass?
Research the following types of Biomass.
You will need to:
You will need to:
Write a definition of the each fuel.
Answer each question
- How is it made?
- What is it used for?
- Where is it made?
- What is it made with?
- What countries use it?
Place 2 images of the fuel.
What are its uses in the future?

Weather and Climate Change
Measuring weather.
Wind
| Beaufort Force | Wind Speed (KPH) | Spins | Indicators | Terms Used in NWS Forecasts |
| 0 | 0-2 | 0 | Calm; smoke rises vertically. | Calm |
| 1 | 2-5 | 10 | Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes. | Light |
| 2 | 6-12 | 40 | Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind. | Light |
| 3 | 13-20 | 80 | Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag. | Gentle |
| 4 | 21-29 | 130 | Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved. | Moderate |
| 5 | 30-39 | 190 | Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters. | Fresh |
| 6 | 40-50 | 250 | Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty. | Strong |
| 7 | 51-61 | 320 | Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind. | Strong |
| 8 | 62-74 | 390 | Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress. | Gale |
| 9 | 75-87 | 470 | Slight structural damage. | Gale |
| 10 | 88-101 | 550 | Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs. | Whole gale |
| 11 | 102-116 | 640 | Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage. | Whole gale |
| 12 | 117 or more | 730+ | Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage. | Hurricane |
Wind speed - Making an anemometer.
MATERIALS
- straws x 4
- cups x 4
- pin
- pencil
- tape
STEPS
Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.
Group size: 5
You will need:
Anemometer (above)
Roles:
- Timekeeper
- Counter
- Recorder
- Anemometer Manager
- Wind generator
- Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
- When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
- If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.
FINDINGS
- Record how many times it spins using the table below.
You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.
You will need to time them and count the number of spins.
| Time Interval | Number of Spins | |
| 1. | ||
| 2. | ||
| 3. | ||
| 4. |
- Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind?

ART hunumanu
this is what we did in art hunumanu it is a story about our clay making
i movie hope you like it.
The long haunted road
One day I woke up and felt weird. So I got out of bed looked out the window it was a nice sunny Monday day 7:30 am then i went to the wardrobe and got changed I went outside and got in the car on the way to work. The road that I normally go down was closed so I went a different way and went down a long road and there were trucks that were coming up and down the road.
So I thought there was a construction site up ahead I kept dr seen a house that looked very scary there were trucks in the yard i really wanted to knock on the door I kept driving then there was another house I stopped and slowly walked closer to the house then I got to the door I knocked on the door and it sounded like it was about to break no one opened it. So I got in my car and left the house. About 5 minutes later there was a truck i didn't see a truck for about 30 minutes. Then It went flying past me then there was another one and another one there was 3 in a row. Then 5 minutes later there was another one it crashed in to me I looked back up and he was driving away then i yelled help there was a car that parked next to me the man got out of the car and opened the car door he helped me out the police come chased the truck the cop lost him the cop come back his name was johnny and Timmy is the one that stopped.
this was it hope you like bye.
