slaver

1. A spiritual is a type of religious song. They were sung in informal gatherings of slaves in praise houses and outdoor meetings called. whilst singing these songs there may have been messages passed through in the lyrics.

They were used to….

Uplift slaves

Give them hope

Church, funerals, and if allowed weddings

And to relay secret messages to help them escape. Like Wade in the water

Harriet Tubman, née Araminta Ross, (born c. 1820, Dorchester County
, Maryland, U.S.—died March 10, 1913, Auburn, New York), American bondwoman who escaped from slavery in the South to become a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War.


The Underground Railroad—the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War—refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. Wherever slavery existed, there were efforts to escape.

Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children.

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.


Wade in the Water was to tell escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water to make sure the dogs slavecatchers used couldn't sniff out their trail. People walking through water did not leave a scent trail that dogs could follow.

Today these still links with African Americans and how life are going for them. 

Parihaka Tim Finn and the Herbs

Parihaka by Tim Finn Original Soundtrack



My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,

Events conspire to bring us to our knees,

My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,

Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,

Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,

The endless tide is murmuring his name.


I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.


Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,

Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,

He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,

He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,

But he loved the silence of the river,

He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.


I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.


One day you'll know the truth,

They can't pull out the roots,

Come and take me home,

To weep for my lost brother.

They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,

His children's children wearing the white plume,

So take me for the sins of these sad islands,

The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.

And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,

And when you taste the sugar in your soup,

Think of Te White, he'll never be defeated,

Even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain,

I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,

Come to Parihaka,

Weep for my lost brother,

The spirit of nonviolence,

Has come to fill the silence, Come to Parihaka.


The song tells the story of the Taranaki Parihaka peaceful protests. Finn was given a book on the topic Dick Scott's Ask That Mountain by his sister and told to write a song about it.

Wananga

 today in class we got to do well-being time we get to do well-being time two times a week. So I picked to do basketball with my friends we only had 10 minutes to play but my teacher gave us 20 minutes and now that's why my teacher is the best teacher in the school. after 20 minutes we came back inside the class and we had to do some work now like we had to look at this new app for the school its called My Mahi its a pretty good app you can see your timetable, Assessment results, newsfeed, daily notices, and you can set up your goal for the year or term and yea much more. 

Model Atom blog

-Aim to make a model atom 

-Method 

1. Choose an atom to make (one between hydrogen and neon).

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons it has.

3. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.

4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid. 

6. Connect the nucleus and electrons and electron shells with a piece of string.

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created. 

-Results (picture)

-Discussion (explain what you made)

-Atomic + mass number

A3 M7

-Number of protons, electrons, neutrons, 

P3 E3 N4 

-Elections arrangement 

I had 2 on the inside 1 on the outside.   

-2 facts about your atom 

There are three parts to an atom. 

There are over 100 different kinds of atoms.

- Conclusion 

-Did it work? 

it kind of worked but after a day the atoms fell.

-what would you do differently?

next time I would use different sort of materials.  

  

Distillation

Filtrantion: Solid + Liquid 

Evaporation: Liquid (solid dissolved in Liquid) Solid 

Distillation: Liquid (solid dissolved in liquid) gas, liquid, solid.  

what is:

Evaporation: heating a liquid, turns to a gas. 

Condensation: cooling down a gas, turn into a liquid.

separating a mixture using Distillation 

Aim: to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Equipment: A solution of coke, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube, and bung, bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head, and clamp, boiling tube. 

Method: 

1.  set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. add approximately 50 mL of coke to your conical flask. 
3. light your bunsen burner. open the air hole and gently push the bunsen burner under the tripod.
4.  heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporation. turn off your bunsen burner.

 Hypothesis:    

what do you think will happen when you heat the coke vs the coke zero.

Serial Dilution

today in chemistry we did a dilution experiment  first we had to get into a group of 4 to 5 then get our equipment the equipment was a potassium permanganate crystal, six large test tubes, tweezers, a plastic transfer pipette, a test tube rack, 10 mL measuring cylinder then we had to put the six test tubes in a test tube rack then we had to label the test tubes from 1-6 after labeling the test tubes we had to pour 5ml water in 5 of the test tubes and the 6th one you pour 10ml water after adding the water then we add a single crystal of potassium permangenate to test tube one gently shake the test tube until the crystal is dissolved   

Aim: to make a dilution serial to investigate 

Method: potassium permanganate 

Hypothesis:     

Filtration Experiment

today in Chemicals and chaos we did an experiment with two different substances. the two different substances are sodium carbonate and copper sulfate. The first steps were safety, so we had to put on some safety glasses then get the equipment for the experiment 

Solvent - thing doing the dissolving (Liquid)

Solute - thing being dissolved (Solid)

Solution - a mixture that is formed. 

Filtration - separates particles based on size.

Filtrate - liquid after it has been filtered.

Mixture - 2 or most substances together.

Solubility - the ability to dissolve.

- blue, transparent, liquid copper sulfate sodium carbonate.

- clear, transparent liquid.

looked like a blue opaque liquid clear liquid-solid, blue copper carbonate. 

the stuff- equipment we used 

sodium carbonate,

copper sulfate, 

conical flask,

stirring rod,

200ml beaker, 

funnel,

filter paper,
