Daylight Savings

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog! Today I have to answer some questions about Daylight Savings.

When Does Daylight Saving Happen Each Year?

Daylight savings starts on the 27th Of September ( Sunday ) at 2AM and ends on the 4th Of April 2021 ( Sunday ) at 3AM. So it happens every last Sunday of September.

What Year Did Daylight Saving Start On NZ?

It started in 1927. The current times have been fixed since 2007.

Why Was Daylight Saving Started?

People wanted to save money because they didn't want to pay for power and because people want another hour of daylight.

Read the following article and Write A Paragraph On Whether Or Not Do You Think That Daylight Saving Should Continue In NZ.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/107348361/times-up-should-we-end-daylight-saving-in-new-zealand

I think daylight saving shouldn't continue because we are losing a hour of sleep.

Do All The States In Australia Have Daylight Savings? Who Does? Who Doesn't?

In Australia, Daylight saving is observed in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and Norfolk Island. Daylight saving is not observed in Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Student Summit

 Hey Everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog. Today I want to talk about my experience at Student Summit.

I was in a group with Shelby, Hayley, Hannah, Riansha and Kirsty.

Our job was to teach others how to use Canva. Since we're at level 2, we did it on a Google Meeting. There we're at least more than 10 Schools there.

After the presentation, we got to join other google meetings to see what other schools were working on but it started lagging and none of us got to look at the other schools work!

Anyways, thank you for reading. I think next year I will do it again.

Would you do the Student Summit if you had the chance?

See you next time! GoodBye!

Maths & P.E

 Hey everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog. It's almost the end of the term so I decided to reflect on my work.

This whole term we have been learning about. Perimeter, Area, Volume and Heart Rates. Let me explain all of them.

1. Perimeter... 

To find the Perimeter of a rectangle for example, you have to plus all the sides. 

2. Area...

Area is when you multiply the Length and the Width of a shape.

Here is an example of Area and Perimeter.

Group	Court	Perimeter ( M2 )	Area ( M3 )
1	Basketball ( Gym )	28m+15m+28m+15 P - 86	420m
2	Tennis ( Outside )	11 + 2 + 11 +2  P - 26m	22m
3	Badminton  ( Gym )	23 + 6 + 23 + 6 P - 58	138m
4	Netball ( Outside )	30 + 15 + 30 + 15 P - 90	450m

3. Volume...

Volume is when you multiply the Length, the Width, the Depth.

4. Heart Rates

First we had to check our resting pulse rate by putting 2 fingers on the side of our necks or on our wrist.

Then we did some Exercise then checked our pulse rate.

Fitness Activity	Result	Heart Rate After  ( BPM )
Resting Pulse Rate	70
Agility Run	26secs 59milseconds	100
30m Sprint	6secs 13milseconds	80
Beep Test ( 10 Min Run )	60  ( 4.2 ) 840 Metres	120secs
Vertical Jump	2.3

Anyways thank you for reading my Blog Post.

What is your resting Pulse Rate?

See you next time! Goodbye!

Planet Detective

 Hey Everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog. Today I want to share with you answers to questions about Gravity.

1. What are 2 reasons Mercury lost most of it's Atmosphere?

Mercury is so close to the sun, the solar wind blows pieces of Mercury away  

Mercury has lower Gravity

2. Compare How Close Mercury & Earth Are Closest To The Sun

The answer is negative 92.631, Mercury is 58 Billion Kg away from the Sun and Earth has 151 Billion Kg away from the Sun

3. Compare How Much Mass Mercury & Earth Has

The mass of Mercury is 0.055 and the Earth will have 20 times more mass than Mercury

4. How Does Not Having An Atmosphere Affect The Temperature On Mercury?

It gets Colder, there no Oxygen, the hottest Temperature 430C and the coldest Temperature is 180C 

Bonus - Where do the name Mercury & Whiro come from?

Whiro is the Lord Of Darkness and Embodiment of all evil in Maori Mythology. Mercury was a Roman God that was really fast.
