Dirty water experiment

Diluting the water we tipped out 100 ml of of dirty water and added 100 ml's of clean water we then repeated this process twice. 

We then got out a metal retort stand,clamps,funnels and a concrete base a cloth and a piece of filter paper. First we screwed the retort stand into the base. Attached the clamps to the stand. We then put the funnels in the clamps in the top funnel we put the cloth and directly under it in the next funnel we put the filter paper.

When we used the funnels and the retort stand we tipped our dirty water into the top funnel and it filtered through and dripped into the next funnel. The top funnel had a cloth which helped to take out the bark,rocks and big clumps of dirt and in the second we had a piece of filter paper which caught the tiny pieces of dirt that where to small and went through the cloth. After going through the funnels it drips into the beaker underneath.

Did it work? Yes it semi did it separated the bark dirt and rocks from the water but after going through in the process overall the water did have any insoluble objects left in it and didn't seem to look as dirty all though it did have a yellow tinge in it.

Would I change anything? If I were to do this again the yes I would do it differently I would dilute it more then what we did.

Drawing task Health

 What Interpersonal skill did you show/use today? The interpersonal skill that I used today was communication. Communication helped today so that we could draw the image the other person had in their hand.

How did it help with the success/lack of success, of the activity? It helped with the success that we were explaining the drawing clearly and if we were confused then we asked questions so that we had a clearer idea of what to do.

Who did you work with that went well today? Today the person that I worked well with was Toni.

If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently? If I were to do it again I would do it so that I have more time so that I don’t have to rush it as much.

English Essay

Hunt for the wilderpeople by Taika Waititi is a movie based on true events of what kids/people go through when going through foster care. Ricky develops close relationships with the people that are fostering him. And eventually starts to feel as though he belongs. One of the important relationships that is in the film is between Ricky and Hector.

Hector and Ricky’s relationship was not that strong at the start. Ricky was not feeling the happiest he was very shy and did not want to open up. In the scene where they are at Bella’s funeral it shows an establishing shot. An establishing shot is to show where they are at that point in time.

It makes such a big difference to see how some people live on a daily basis compared to me where I don’t have to worry about having to leave my home. I don’t have to worry about going back to juvy. I feel like there is always someone I can talk to and have a genuine conversation with them about my feelings and worries where as for some people they don’t get that. I think that we can  help by talking to people and show respect and interest about what they have to say and to make them feel included.

In the middle of the movie when Paula tries to bribe Ricky to sell Hector out using food. But releasing what she is up to, Ricky refuses to fall for Paula’s trap and remembers the importance of family. A film technique used is a dialogue when Ricky says to Paula “you don’t trade family for anything”. A dialogue is when there is a convection between two of the characters.

Closer to the end of the movie when Ricky and Hector were spending a lot more time together their relationship got a little stronger and Hector finally allowed Ricky to call him Uncle

causing their bond to grow stronger. 

At the end their relationship was good and they felt as though they could trust one another. And they didn’t feel as awkward around each other. High-key lighting and Low-key lighting
