The Wiki Game

To play the wiki game you need to think fast, for example if you were trying to find the word Nero you will go to a page with blue words that are links and you have to click a word and it will take you to another page and you have to keep clicking on links until you find the word Nero or a different word that you have to find. You have to try and get the lest amount of clicks possible to win the game, if you get 10 clicks for example and you find the word you will probably come 5th or 6th because you have had a lot of clicks.

Here is a pathway to one of the words (Nero): Haripurwa → Nepal → South Asia → Indo-European languages → Roman Empire → Nero

Then when you come to the start of 15th Ave turn right and run down Scantlebury Street, after that take a right when you get to the bottom of the hill there will be a teacher to tell you were to go. After you make that right you run to the estuary and once you have finished running around the estuary you will run up a little hill and then you will be at Tauranga Intermediate.

There are 40 clicks on each card, if you get all 40 clicks you get a bracelet with starts on it and if you get three cards you get a stars badge. If you are being naughty you get a verbal warning from the teacher but if you are doing something good that day you will still receive a click on your card but if you get caught again you will get your name in the board (on the same day) and if you do something good the teacher will decide if you get a click or not, but if you get a cross next to your name you will not get a click. If you receive a band because you have already finished a click card you are not allowed to swap it with a different colour band with a person from another house if a teacher catches you with a different colour band you will get your band taken off you for the rest of the year. If you get a star card from one of the teachers you put your name in it, room and house and put in your house box in the library at the house hui two people will be drawn out of the rimu box by Miss Mills and will receive a voucher.

Science Fair 2013

Task

Write a recount of your Science Fair project last year under the headings. Be brief and summarise. One or two sentences on each:

Aim - To see what hair brand is the best.

Hypothesis - I think  silky  shampoo and conditioners are better than ordinary shampoo and conditioner because the silky shampoo and conditioner just have more harsh chemicals designed to clean hair.

Introduction - 

                                 
I am a girl, and like most girls I want my hair to feel soft, shiny and smooth. Most of the popular hair brands are more expensive than the less used hair brands, but is the price worth paying? Do these more expensive products really make our hair softer, shinier and smoother?  

Equipment & Method -Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Nourished shine

Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Classic clean
Sunsilk Shampoo and Conditioner Frizz & weather defence
Sunsilk Shampoo and Conditioner Addictive brilliant shine
Water

Results - My findings show that  Sunsilk Frizz & Weather Defence was the best brand for making your hair soft and silky is because it feels so soft and it lasts for up to four day.

The worst worst brand was Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Classic clean because it didn't feel that soft and only lasted 2 day!

I also noticed that Sunsilk Addictive  Brilliant Shine was pretty good too because  it also lasted up to 4 days.

Conclusion - It was a good first science fair.

Now answer these questions

What did you do well last year? I got all the brands I needed and finished on time.

What did you find difficult last year? Typing all the information onto my laptop and getting everything onto the science fair board.

Look through the Science Fair Tab - How does the type of water you feed a plant affect its growth?

Find 2 possible topics - How does the type of water you feed a plant affect its growth?

Tuesday 15th April

Dear Orcon Company,

Lately the internet has been slow and it bugs me when I am trying to go on youtube or do homework the reason why it is slow is because it doesn't load and it says the internet cannot connect which is really annoying for me.
It would be very appreciated l if you could help me and my family with this problem and make the internet faster. 

We have had internet from your company for 2 years now and it has just recently been very slow.
I expect you to come round to my house and fix this problem pronto, take out our old internet box and give us a new one or give us free internet for a month.


Your Sincerely,

Joy Mitchell
