Feeding In
How can Priests, Teachers, Mediators and Caritas help the homeless?
People who are homeless may need help with shelter, food and warmth. Caritas can help people with these things by donating  money to the homeless to buy those things. Teachers can help those who have no education and can pay with the money the people of Caritas donated to them. Mediators can help people  solve their problem if they have had any in the past. Priests can help the homeless by healing them if they are  ill.

Initiating Thinking
Who helps those who can not help themselves?
  • Priests
  • Teachers
  • Mediators
  • Caritas

Group Discussions - Reporting
Priests
Teachers
Mediators
Caritas
Priests can help bless people if they are unwell and can not help themselves or other people.
Teachers can help people with learning and can find other helpers if you need it.
Mediators can help people who can’t solve their problems solve their problems.
Caritas can help people who are homeless to find shelter, food and water etc when or if they need it.

(What do they do to help those in need? - examples need to understand) caritas.org.nz 
Caritas are well working people who support the homeless people around the world to find shelter,food and warmth. They do this by fundraising money for those in need. e.g; Unicef does the same for the people in need by making a commercial on t.v. 
Here is a link to ONE of the UNICEF commercials


Reflection:
Is it important to help others?
Yes it is!
Why?
Because helping others is a nice thing to do and doing unselfish things is good because we have alot and they don’t, which means us as loving and caring people giving things to the people in need. It will also make you feel better because when you go to bed at night or when you are having an exam, you won't have a hard time sleeping or thinking because you will know that you have helped someone in need.  This can also change you and make you a better person.

Science - Fizz and Foam


W.A.L.T:  Observe and report on the chemical reaction that occur when combining substance together.


Today we used test tubes and beakers. We used two of the test tubes and pour lemon juice in one tube and malt vinegar in another one. We had a table that has citric acids, tartaric acids, baking soda, chalks and cordial (raro) to mix with our ingredients.

We took our glass beakers and plastic spoon to the table with all the dry ingredients and took a spoonful of one ingredient and mixed it with one of the acid liquids. (eg; citric acid and lemon juice).

Hypothesis: (Prediction)
  • Baking Soda + Malt Vinegar = The baking soda and malt vinegar together created  bubbles = Reaction
  • Tartaric Acid + Lemon Juice = The tartaric acid and lemon juice together created fizzing bubbles = Reaction
  • Citric Acid + Malt Vinegar = The two combine together will make bubbles = Reaction
  • Raro + Lemon Juice = These two products mixed together will make no reaction, but a nice smell and  a sweet and sour taste =  No Reaction
  • Chalk + Malt Vinegar = These products together will make a mushy and disgusting look but a nice wine smell.
  • Raro + Citric Acid + Malt Vinegar = The two dry ingredients and the vinegar together will make yucky look of bubbles but a nice smell.  Also when you put a finger tip of the products together, it feels like it is pinching your tongue.
  • Malt Vinegar + Citric Acid + Chalk = This combine together will make fizzing bubbles and make it look mushy. It also tastes like vinegar.
