Kia ora bloggers,
This week in music, we have been learning piano and the past few weeks. Learning how to recognize keys and being able to play songs. I would love to be able to play Golden by Huntrix on piano. That song is just so funny and fun at the same time.
Hello and welcome back.
I have recently finished a slideshow on cashews. Since I was quite ill to attend Foodtech. My teacher had seated me outside the space. I got to work on some food slideshows. Including cashews, which I will be showing today. I finished questions like how they grow, or what their climate is for harvesting, and many things like that. I hope that I have put a great answer on there. Answers that cover enough. But if not, I did try anyway, and that is the main thing that matters. I will show you evidence of my work. But I won’t be putting it in, as the quality is terrible. Here is the information based on what I’ve done. Comment down below if you think that a cashew is a nut or isn’t. Thank you, hope you have a great day, and thank you for reading my blog post.
Why I think that Cashews do not count as a nut. I would say no. But yes, at the same time. I’ve eaten cashews before, and they taste like any other nut I have tasted. I like them and they aren’t bad. But according to Google. They aren’t true nuts. Because they come from a cashew apple fruit, that’s where their seeds originate from. A true nut is a dry fruit with a singular seed. Almost similar to an acorn or a chestnut. They should have a hard shell, almost. But that doesn’t always depend on whether there is a nut or not.
How do Cashews grow ? Cashews grow typically on trees, but they don’t look like the typical nuts you’d see, especially ones on a branch. They emerge from the bottom of a fleshy pear-shaped fruit. Called a cashew apple. The cashew nut is botanically a seed inside a hard shell that is attached to this so-called false fruit. Which can be red or yellow. After the cashew apples are harvested, they are processed separately to get the nuts, which must be heated to remove a toxic oil before they can be eaten.
How are cashews grown and harvested? Cashews are grown on trees in tropical climates and harvested when the colorful cashew apple and attached nut ripen and turn yellow or red. The cashew apples are handpicked or gathered after they fall from the tree. The nuts are then separated from the fruit and dried to reduce moisture before being sent for processing, which involves roasting to remove a toxic shell irritant and then cracking and peeling to get the edible kernel.
What are the climate needs for cashew growing? Cashew trees require a warm, tropical climate with an average annual temperature of 24-28 °C. And annual rainfall of 800-1,600 mm. Paired with a distinct dry season of 4-6 months. They also need full sun exposure, minimal frost, and well-drained sandy soils.
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today is the first day of term 4. I am going to be talking about the Three P’s. I show sportsmanship through sport by not giving up. I don’t use inappropriate language. I keep my hands and feet to myself. I follow the rules that the building/outdoor area has. I show the school values in all settings. I return the equipment I borrowed. I am respectful of how I use the equipment provided.
Kia Ora, Everyone! I’m excited to have you back on my blog!
Today, I finished my really important slideshow about Parihaka, and I’m excited to share it! Parihaka is an amazing settlement that came together as a symbol of unity and non-violence. It’s one of the most famous examples of standing up for what’s right without fighting. The conflict was between the Māori people and Europeans, including the French, mainly about land that was taken away from the Māori. As a result of the wars, land was given to the settlers who won. The Māori realized they needed to take action, so they built fences across the land that the government had claimed. These fences showed everyone that they still believed it was their land and that they hadn’t given up on it. This piece of history is truly inspiring! I think it’s so important for more people to learn about it. The people of Parihaka were incredibly resilient, and they teach us today that when something is wrong, we should speak up and use our voices. Their story shows how powerful we can be when we stand together for what we believe in.
The incredible unity of the iwi, even among those who didn’t always see eye to eye, is truly inspiring. They came together to support one another, demonstrating remarkable strength and courage. This powerful chapter of history deserves to be shared with everyone! I find it absolutely amazing how they honored their culture and traditions. It’s fascinating to witness such deep appreciation for one’s heritage. I believe society should recognize and celebrate these remarkable people and their tribes for all that they have achieved.
Thank you all for your attention and support during my blog post. I encourage you to take a look at the slideshow and share it with your whanau/family. I genuinely appreciate your time and engagement. Best regards, Frankie.
Kia ora welcome back to my fabulousss blog posts.
Today I have been asked to post a blog post. On WATER CYCLES !! Not an amazing subject, but it was okay to be learning about. Better than anything else we’ve had to do. Like bar graphs, gosh, they were extremely exhausting. But today my blog post is based on what I’ve done recently, not in the past. I felt quite confused, but then it made sense in the end. I liked the part where we had to do no work and just listen, it was pretty good ! Water enters the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration. Sea levels drop when a large amount of water is stored on land and not enough flows back to the sea, water/lakes/rivers. Water also comes from surface places like rivers and lakes, as well as from underwater aquifers. Thank you for reading my blog, hope you like my boring information bye!!!

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog.
In todays blog post I will be covering the reflection of Notan Art. My teacher wanted us to learn how to express the art, and learn how to make this an fun expierence for us. But for us to also enjoy it. Here are some of my results.
I also learn’t how to flip the paper and create the Notan effect onto my piece of paper.
sorry this is imcomplete and my teacher knows
Kia ora, and welcome back to one of my amazing blog posts.
In today’s post, I will be sharing the work of Notan art. What is that, you may ask? Notan art is a Japanese Design Concept. For dark and light elements. It’s between hard and easy progress. It’s a way to express a visual scene with only the essentials, black and white. I found the progress very easy, but some people found the art quite difficult. But in the end, they all looked amazing. I think that it’s a fun art, but difficult at times because you have to think about whether it needs to be moved or rotated. I would rate it as an 8.5/10 type of art. Because I enjoyed it, but I also found it every hard at times, thinking about where everything would go. But I love the finished results of mine. I wasn’t really thinking about my shapes, so I was just doing random. But it actually turned out to every nice.
Thank you for reading my blog post again !! Here is the finished result of my Notan Art.
Kia ora, and welcome to my blog post.
Today I’ll be sharing my work on Matariki. I have completed a slideshow the includes the story of Matariki and what it is. I enjoyed making this because it was fun to watch all of the videos. I hope that you enjoy it too. Take a look !! Thank you for reading hope you enjoy
Kia Ora, and welcome to my blog.
This past week, in science, we studied sound waves. Recently, we found out how they signal to the brain using a specific way to send to the eardrum. Sound from anything needs energy to produce. For example, you have a guitar player, and the sound travels through the air into these particles. That goes into your eardrum and signals through tiny hair cells to the brain to recognize the sound. Sound is programmed to be sent by air into the eardrums. Loud sounds are big waves, and calm sounds are quiet. The sounds vibrate in the air, causing you to hear these sounds. Your eardrums are important to your body because they help you hear sounds and recognize them. But anyway, without that, you would be deaf and not able to hear anything.
Kia Ora bloggers, Yesterday in science, we did a science experiment about paper clips. We learned how they float onto the water and how you have to use a special method. We conducted an intriguing experiment involving paper clips. We explored the fascinating concept of surface tension and observed how these seemingly simple objects can float on water. Through careful application of specific techniques, we were able to manipulate the physics at play. It was a valuable experience that deepened our understanding of hydrodynamics. We used a method of placing the paperclip gently onto the paper towel. then lowered it slowly into the circle of water and slowly, unplaced the paper clip of the paper towel into the water. It took some tries to get it in, but luckily for me I had it done the first time. Then we had some soapy water. The soapy water eliminated the paper clip from floating and made it sink into the water.
