I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Energy
Definition: Stored in an object, the ability to move something.
Different kinds of energy
Light energy: the energy of electromagnetic waves. Used in microwaves, x-rays and visible light
Heat energy: Cause by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects
Sound energy: Energy produced by vibrating objects examples are speech or music
Chemical potential energy. Energy stored in the bonds between particle. found in substances like petrol and food.
Gravitational potential energy: Energy stored in objects due to their height above the ground.
Kinetic energy: Energy due to the motion of an object Eg. moving cars, running, swimming.
Elastic potential energy: Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are stored springs.

The melodramatic Acting Style
Slower clearer delivery of lines with huge projection. Remember Victorian Theatres were huge and there were no microphones.
Play everything to the audience, even if you are supposed to be talking to another character on stage! Indicate whom you are talking to by looking sideways at them and holding your hand out towards.
Address the audience directly whenever the script will allow you to do so.
The Pose: Invent poses of shock, horror, love, evil, intent, cruelty, desire, dilemma, forgiveness, begging forgiveness etc. A pose should last at least three seconds and should be clearly visible from fifty metres.
The working yourself up to the pose: lasts two to three seconds --let's see you get there!
The Gasp - very loud expressing a range of emotions. Often accompanied by a pose.
The Swoon - often preceded by lines such as "Alas! I can hardly bear it." The swoon should be graceful and provision should be made for someone to catch you._
The long walk downstage/upstage/across the stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma.
The Pacing- to and fro across the stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma. Move before you speak so that the audience can track who is speaking.
The Tableau (freeze frame)- the still picture made up of a number of characters to freeze the moment, eg: The Happy Ending/ The Secret Lovers. Tableaux should be very explicit.
The Sigh/The Groan/The Tubercular Cough
First Entrances are important - may even bow, this is related to the cult of “The Actor” the Star system.

How The Black Death Spread To Humans
Hello and welcome back to another blog post and today in chemicals and chaos we had to write a simple body paragraph on how the black death spread to humans.
Rats and fleas played a big part in spreading the black death. First, the rats would have the black death and then the fleas would get the black death off the rat the fleas would then infect a human host. Then humans would interact and infect each other this shows how easy it was to spread the disease. Once the human caught the plague they had many symptoms that would affect them in negative ways.
