Nancy Wake- Essay

 Hello everyone since week three my class has been writing essays on New Zealand leader I decide to pick Nancy Wake. I found her story very interesting so I wanted to write an essay about her, this is my essay. 


Nancy wake was a women leader back in 1939-1945.  Nancy Wake was born in Wellington on 30th of August 1912. Her full name is Nancy Grace Augusta Wake. She is the youngest of six children Nancy followed after her father becoming a journalist who joined the french resistance and later special operations executive during World War II. Nancy was also a secret agent during world war 2 and fighting for New Zealand while helping people. 


I feel that Nancy Wake is a very strong leader for her time because the Germans and the Gestapo unrestricted access to all parts of Vichy France and made life more dangerous for Nancy. When the network was betrayed that same year she decided to flee France. Nancy was only 16 years old when she ran away from home. Nancy knew that she was in danger so keep herself safe by fleeing France but she also did this out of bravery. Nancy knew she might be able to help that's why she became a nurse after running away.


After running away she became a nurse but she only worked briefly as a nurse. In 1932, Nancy inherited some money and used it to travel to London then into the mainland of Europe to train to become a journalist. Nancy ended up settling in Paris and working for the Hearst group of newspapers and as a journalist. This all happened after she ran away then she joined the war at about 23.


During the war  Nanay was a resistance fighter who led an army of 7000 Marquis troops in a guerrilla mission to sabotage the Nazi regime. She was given the code name ‘The White Mouse’.  She was credited for saving the lives of hundreds of allied soldiers. Downed airmen between 1940 and 1943 by escorting them through occupied France to safety in Spain.


After the war Nancy immediately was awarded the george medal, The United states medal of freedom, the Médaille de la Résistance, and thrice, the Croix de Guerre. She worked for the intelligence department at the british air ministry. In 1985, Nancy published her autobiography, The white mouse. She got married to her husband John Forward the couple had no children. Later on 19 august 1997 after 40 year of her marriage her husband died at Port Macquarie.

 

Do Now-Thursday

I feel that Principal's are the most important people in the school or at least one of the most important people in the school but I don't think that DP principal's are that important. Principals are important to us because they make decisions that teacher or students might not be able to make in the school and for the people. Principal's can make a decision like 'these two student need to stay away fr each other' or 'teacher can do this in class to help the student'. So I do feel that principal's are very important to our systems.

Shark Infested Custard

 Hello everyone today we played and game called shark infested custard in health. I used my verbal commutation and being inclusive the warm fuzzies I used was "you can do this" I cheered on my team and we helped each other. it went well we didn't argue or anything we just communicated it would have been nice to have bigger hoops though they were pretty small. I worked with Faye, Kristille, Chelsea, Hamid, Travis and Sereybuth. I worked at level 4 of Hellison's model. I cared for my team mates, I was encouraging and I worked without a reward. 



 

Game Day

 Hello today in class we had a game day it was raining to we didn't play our game outside but today I used the Ip skills verbal commutations and active listening. I used them by communicating with my team mate and I was listening to what she said. I worked with Kristille and we played uno, ping pong, connect for shots and guess who. I really enjoyed playing I learnt how to play a new game. I would definitely do this again but change nothing about it. I worked at level 4 for my Hellion's models I picked this because I encourage my team mate and I had care for my team mate. 

Concentration and Dilution

 Hello today in science we are doing concentration and dilution. concentration, a measure of how much solute has been dissolved into the solvent.  Like "the juice was strongly concentrated" so that would mean "the juice was weakly dilute". 

Aim: Carry out a serial dilution with potassium permanganate,

We can measure in two ways:

- How dilute is something... (how weak it is)

- How concentrated something is... (how strong it is)

The experiment we are doing is dilution. (serial dilutions)

what is it? 

making something less concentrated, there will be less particles in the liquid. serial in a scientific way means multiple. We are using test tubs the first test tub has 10ml of water then the rest have 5ml of water. We are also using potassium permanganate witch is toxic and flammable. 

I think that some of them will turn purple and some wont because the potassium permanganate has a purple tint to it. 


       


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                We are always gonna move is over from one test tub we are going to use a pipette to move 5ml's from each test tub. 

results: At the beginning the water was a dark purple then we keep moving them along they become a lighter purple and more see through. I think it become like this become the water washed out a lot of the colour made it more dilute. 

science-Filtering

Hello today in science we are doing filtering and a little experiment to do with filtering. filtering- is separating different size particles out of a mixture  based on there size. Can all mixtures filtered? no only insoluble particles... If it has dissolved into the liquid it has to be separated a different way. 

experiment:
make a mixture then separate it...

chemical liquids: 

copper sulfate- light blue, liquid, transparent.

sodium carbonate- colourless, liquid, translucent.

what I think will happen...
I think it might separate is you can make the filter right it will most likely all separate but if you don't have it right i might not separate probably. With the liquids I think they will combined and the light-ish blue with the clear, it might become a lighter blue. 

1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.

2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate. 

3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel

4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask. 

5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel. 

6. Observe what happened.


what happened: It become dark blue and cloudy (Opaque) i don't know why it happened. When we separated it become copper carbonate we the come together it becoming a small solid (blue sludge-precipitate) then when we filter it become clear because of sodium sulfate.


Equipment:

Sodium carbonate


Copper sulfate
