Getting Ready For Fiafia



Hi my name is Francis and I am in The Barkerville Factor for Fiafia I really like it because of my tutors Mr S and Mr Barks. I can’t tell anyone what we are doing because its a secret group. It is the school’s 60th anniversary this year, and we are all happy with our Fiafia groups.

I am feeling really excited for Fiafia and also its only one week away!! We used to practice only on Thursdays but now we practice on Thursdays and Fridays because its time soon. For Fiafia the clothes might be paint or repairman clothes probably.

Fiafia will be held in the hall at 7:00 pm make sure you can come along I really wish it was this Thursday and not next week. Get ready to see some impact on Thursday night, from hiphop to Unicycling be amazed that we worked from the day we practised to the night we perform. Hear us perform on our schools birthday make sure you support your child and everyone else.

Testing Omaru Creek for - Turbidity


I am going to find out about turbidity of Omaru Creek


I am going to test this by getting some water samples looking at how much I can see through it


Resources and equipment 4 water samples from The culvert, The Bridge The Sea And Tap Water.


I predict that the tap water will be size 9, the culvert water size 12, the seawater 14, and the bridgewater size 14.


I think this because:
The Tap Water Is Very Clean and has been tested, the culvert is sort of clean and can see through it, the seawater is salty and is cloudy and nearly see through it, and the bridgewater is green but you can see a little bit through it  

Results of my tests

Seawater
12
Tap water
9
Omaru Creek water by culvert
14
Omaru Creek water by bridge
24


My conclusion (what I found out):
What I found out about how clear the water was Omaru Creek’s Culvert was clean and the bridge water, well not really


Why I think this is Why I think the culvert is clean is because it doesnt have a ot of things in it like rubber and tar also for the bridge it is not clear even if you look through a sample test.

Testing Omaru Creek for -Color




I am going to find out:
What Color The Water Is

I am going to test this by:
Comparing different water samples and describing color

Resources and equipment:
4 water samples from 1. The Culvert 2. The Bridge 3. The Sea 4. Tap

I predict that:
The Bridge is Opescale The Culvert is Multicolored The Tap water is clear The Sea Salty

I think this because:

  1. The tap water is clean because of no mud in it.
  2. Sea Water is clean because of the mangroves.
  3. Culvert has a lot of rubbish.
  4. The Sun Is Making it change color so it looks different

Results of my tests

Sea Water
A Bit Cloudy and Healthy
Tap water
Transparent Water
Omaru Creek water by culvert
Clear Water but Dirty
Omaru Creek water by bridge
Greenish


My conclusion (what I found out):
The Sea Water Is actually clean, The Bridge has green water, The Water near the culvert is bumpy.


Why I think this is:
Because of the Salt And Mangroves, The Bridge Is Green because of the plants, It is bumpy because of all the Rubber and Taro from the road.
