Both ukulele and guitar are from the same family of stringed instruments. The guitar is a much bigger size than a ukulele, a guitar has 6 strings and a ukulele has 4 strings the ukulele is also thinner and shorter than a guitar. The country that uses the most ukulele is Australia and other countries that use ukulele are. Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Thailand, France, Singapore, and Italy these countries use ukulele the most. Ukulele orchestra is a group of people in Great Britan that is an orchestra but they use ukulele.
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.

PE
Today in PE we did sprints there were three choices and they were 1,500m, 400m, 200m, and 100m I only did the 400m because I was too tired. To run the other ones so I just did the normal ones it wasn't that bad.
I am Malala
Malala's message is that every girl should be able to go to school because it is not fair that boys get to go to school and get an education if they can go girls can to school is for everyone, not just boys. So if for some reason your country does not let girls go to school stand up be like Malala.
Bill Gates
He is the richest person in the world. He is one of the people who created Microsoft. If you don’t know what Microsoft is it is a computer. He is a partner with Paul Allen, Paul Allen, and Bill Gates worked together to make the software but I’m pretty sure Bill Gates was the first to make it then he partnered up with Paul Allen to make Microsoft.

Music
The difference between a piano and keyboard is that a piano has weighted keys and the keyboard doesn't. The keyboard is also powered by electric so that makes it an electric instrument.
The piano was made in 1709 in Italy, pianos were originally called pianoforte, A piano has 12,000 pieces which 10,000 moves.
Sergey Rachmaninov was born on the 1 of April 1873, He was born in

Well-Being
Whare tapa wha has 4 walls, stability, interconnected, and 4 functioning well=health. Whare tapa wha is you like say for whare tapa wha if one wall falls then the whole house will fall so if you break your arm it will affect each of your well beings. During this lesson, I feel like I have done some work but I don't feel like I tried my best so next that's something I need to work on. My current state of Hauora is pretty good
Kindness
So my random act of kindness was too high five someones and I did I actually high five a few people. The people I high five were Ranit and Richard they said wow and that's it made me feel nothing just saying when I do an act of kindness I don't care. Spiritual wellbeing means the ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life through a person's connectedness with self, others art, music, literature, nature, or a power greater than oneself.

Real vs Fake News
Fake news is like when people post or say news that isn’t true, there was this show, Dr. Phil, this lady posted on her Facebook saying that her children look exactly like her but the thing is it’s not true. Because the picture of the two girls wasn't hers’s it was this other lady’s one cause she would always post photos of her daughters. All of a sudden she got a message from someone saying “ Hey there is this other lady posting photos of ur daughters her name is Beth (not her real name)” so she went to check it out and it was real. This woman was using a photo of her twin girls she told the police but can’t do anything about it but they sorted it out
This is the lady who cyber kidnap the two twins, this couple is the ones who had the twin girls.
I don’t know if this counts as fake news but it’s fake I don’t know why people post this when it’s fake. There are other ones like share or your going to die tonight but it will never happen I just want to put that out there.
What’s real news is that this girl is the real life jedi knight.
She is acting like a jedi knight that is a fiction character from the movie/tv show Star Wars. It first started as a prank but now people are taking this stuff seriously. It first started in the uk.

P.E Hurumanu: Athletics scores
My goal: In athletics hurumanu, I am going to learn a technique to discuss because really bad at discussing.
Year 9
Discus techniques
1. Roll of your small finger.
2. Wrap 4 fingers around it.
3. Stand side on to the line.
4. I wind-up. (not 3)
High jump techniques
1. Land with your hand and feet in the air and land on your back.
2. When you take off it should be on 1 foot.
3. When you leave the gorund you must spin around ( use knee to turn)
Event | |
Shot put | 5 |
Discus | 15 |
High jump | 1.20m |

Research project
Light energy, the energy of the electromagnetic waves. Found in Microwaves, x-rays, and visible light. Light is made up of little packets of energy called photons. Most of these photons are produced when the atoms in an object heat up. Heat “excites” the electrons inside the atoms and they gain extra energy. This extra energy is then released as a photon.
Heat energy, caused by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects, heaters, oven tops, etc.
Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids, and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transferor flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat
Sound energy, Is caused by a sound like music and other things that make a sound.
Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.
Chemical potential energy, Is caused by particles bonded with energy like petrol and food.
Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance. The various chemicals that makeup gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things.
Electrical energy, Is caused by the movement of electrically charged particles found in wires, generators, and lighting electrical.
energy is defined as an electric charge that lets work be accomplished. An example of electrical energy is power from a plug outlet. YourDictionary definition and usage example.
Gravitational potential energy, Energy stored in objects due to their height above the ground planes, Definition of the gravitational potential. : the scalar quantity characteristic of a point in a gravitational field whose gradient equals the intensity of the field and equal to the work required to move a body of unit mass from given point to a point infinitely remote.
Kinetic energy, Energy due to the motion of an object. EG. Moving cars, running, Swimming
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Any object in motion is using kinetic energy: a person walking, a thrown baseball, a crumb falling from a table, and a charged particle in an electric field are all examples of kinetic energy at work.
Elastic potential energy, Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are springs, a rubber band.
Elastic potential energy is Potential energy stored as a result of the deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring. It is equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant k as well as the distance stretched.
