Diary of Anne Frank

In our homeroom class, the whole class was reading about the diary of a young girl Anne Frank. I didn't get the to hear the first start of the story because I have different classes at that time, but luckily my friends told me what are the important things that happen in it. Which that's why I catch up, and heard the middle part of the story, until the end. At first we all have to answer some questions that relate to the pages we were at, but we didn't get to finish answering all of it because we don't much time left if we keep reading them. So we skip some bits of the story, so at the end we get to blog it and do some other activity about it. The Diary of Anne Frank is an amazing book, because I get to learn some things about a teenager life. Because Anne is just a 13 years old girl, who was stuck with the same people for 2 years. It was like when we were in lock down but the difference is that we only stay for a month, but she stayed in a small place eating a small amount of foods,and staying with the people she actually some how don't like based on their personality. 

Summary: 

So on her thirteenth birthday, Anne Frank receive a beautiful diary book from her parents. She was really excited, because she can write all of her secret and thoughts about the things that is happening to her life. Anne Frank started writing her daily events, her thoughts, school grades, boys all that. Just within a month, her entire life changes as she was Jews in German Holland. The Frank family was terrified for their lives, because when Anne's Margot is called to appear to be called up and go to the concentration camp, that's why the family started and go hiding. They hide into a little section of Anne's father's office, and they go behind the bookcases .Which was called the " Secret Annex" in the Thursday of July 9 1942. They lived there for 2 years, the family lived with other people which is Mr and Mrs van Daan and their son Peter ( which is older than Anne). Later on Mr Dussel ( an elderly dentist ) which why Anne has to share bedroom with her. Anne grows in her knowledge of politics and literature, that's why she puts a lot of effort writing to her diary. When she started growing further and further, she didn't hangout with the other people more often. But she started hanging out in the attic with Peter, around those time she started falling and dreaming about the boy she love. And also there's a big change for Anne and that is when the war seems to be ending, so she started editing her diary with vigour and excitement. Her diary describe the struggles of her life, and there are her the diary ends. Then after two months after Anne's fifteen birthday, and after 2 days her last diary entry. The Secret Annex is raided, that happened on August 4,1944 .

I would recommend this book, because it was really interesting and anyone who is interested in historical, war, mystery type of book. I really like this book, because there are a lot of fun mystery stuff happening in the book. I would love to read another book about Anne Frank, because she is type of girl who is brave and can take care of the situation really well she is really inspiring. She is kind, humble, lively. 

Science

 In our Science class, we were doing different experiment everyday we have it. The first one was when the science teacher did something fun in front of us, and that is doing is putting a dry ice into a -78 degrees Celsius water. And that show a chemical reaction by showing some white smoke rising in the conical flask. They did it in every different temperature, like warm, cold. Sublimation it means something will come to solid to a gas immediately. The second thing we did was an experiment of hands in icy water, the aim for that is to know what are the different feelings when you put your hands in a water full of ice, and for 20 seconds and secondly put it to a normal water, then tell how you felt. Then a hot water, when we were doing that I was with my groups of 4. every single one of us, get to experience doing it and we also have different job and that is one of us need to record, and one is need to count.

Then nextly we did something about melting ice in tin foil, the aim was to know how does it take to melt the ice in different object. We can work alone or work with a buddy, I plan to work with my buddy and she did was to help me record of how long will it take to be fully melt. By just holding them, we change jobs because it was freezing. And then at the end our record was 5:46.34. I had fun doing this activity and I was happy about it because I get to learn things about science. 

Planet Detective

 In our Science, we all were learning about the different mass between one planet and another.But furthermore it was more actually based on the planet Mercury, and Earth some were questions is some how kinda not easy to answer which took me a lot of time to do. Same rule, we just need to research it and write it as an explanation writing. So my goal was to write at least 6-7 sentences, and make sure it was explained properly and it was understandable. 

What are two reasons Mercury lost most of its atmosphere?

There are many reasons why Mercury lost most of its atmosphere, unlike the other planet. It was because of the little gas it has its trillion thinner air, and at the surface of the Earth therefore it was completely undetectable by any of the normal means, and because of its lower surface of gravity even to the Sun. And any of the gases that currently exist to the surface will immediately escape within the short period of time. Did you know that Mercury’s original atmosphere formed 4.6 billion years ago with the rest of the other solar planets. It has a lower gravity because it is really close to the sun surface, and it sometimes receives some buffeting from it’s solar wind. Mercury is made out of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, potassium and water vapour. Helping this solar planet to hold on to its atmosphere is its magnetic field, while the other gravity helps the other gases to the surface. Even more the magnetic field helps to deflect the solar wind around the planet. Like it does to the Earth, the atmosphere of Mercury is also one of the most tenuous in the solar system. And that’s why the solar wind will still blow much of its way. So the sources on the planet were constantly filling up again.

Compare how close Mercury & the Earth are to the Sun

The Mercury is the closest planet in the sun, as such it circles more faster than the other planets. On the other hand the Earth is on average astronomical apart from the sun, and then Venus will be leading second after Mercury. In terms of orbits Mercury and Earth could not be more than different from one another, the hot planet(Mercury) has the most eccentric orbit other than any planet of the solar system. Just because of that it makes it closer to the sun between 46 million km, as its closest to 70 million km, as its fathers. That puts Mercury much more closer to the sun, and it will actually only take 87.969 Earth days, but for Earth it will take 365.25 days. Also Mercury will be the second descent planet after the Earth that had a huge metallic core, and even Mercury speeds around the sun every 88 Earth days. 

Compare how much mass Mercury & Earth have.

According to density, mass, and even volume. The mass and volume of Mercury is the only about 0.055 times of the Earth,but because mercury is the smallest planet among the rest it also means it has small mass that enclosed the inside a tiny body. The planet only weight in 5.427 grams per cubic centimetre, or 89 percent of the density of our planet. Approximately the Mercury mass 0.330 x 1024 kg. So we all know that Earth is also one  of the terrestrial planet, and it is the largest and densest, withe the average of 6.371.0 km. And a mean of density of 5.514 g/cm3. Furthermore the mass of the Earth will be 5.97 x 1024 kg. 

How does not having an atmosphere affect the temperature on Mercury?

We all know that the Mercury is the closet to the sun, and it doesn't have any atmosphere. And the only problem is that it intensely affects the temperature on its surface, when it doesn't have any atmosphere is present the sun during the day it enter directly leading to the very very high temperature. Just when the night and the sun is not present, the temperature of the plane is the opposite of hot. When it was cold it will make it an unfavourable to live on, as it does't have any atmosphere at all. The sunlight cannot be entrapped and even the temperature reaches to its minus during nights. That's one of the reason why we were lucky enough to live in Earth, because it was not that really close to the sun unlike the Mercury and the other planet who was affected by this.

Where do names Mercury and Whiro come from? What are some other names of the planet?

Mercury or also called Takero, Aparangi, or Whiro. Whiro actually stands for the lord of darkness and embodiment of all evil , in Maori mythology. He inhabits the underground and it was responsible for the ills of all the individuals, as a contrast to his brother and to his enemy Tane. For Neptune it was called Tangaroa or Takaroa, for Uranus it was known in Maori as Rakipo, Wherangi or Rangipo. For the Earth, this has a personal name Papatuanuku. Then for the moon it was usually called as Marama but sometimes it was called as Rona, Mars as Matawhero sometimes Tumataueka. Jupiter can be called as Parearau, Kopunui or Rangawhenua. Then lastly Saturn it was called Parearau, it was confusing because it has the sme dilect as the Jupiter.But it was most commonly called Rongo. 

Wind Power

Here in our Science class, we have to create a poster about wind, solar and geothermal. At first we have to choose a buddy, and worked together as a team. And when we prove that we can work together really well, we will get some points. So for me I didn't work with one of my closet friend, so I work with a different person who I usually don't hangout a lot with. She was Evelyn, the both us think that we can create a poster about wind mills. In the diagram we have to include a photo or a drawing, and also a description of how the energy source works. The disadvantage and advantage. 

One of us is putting some information and brain storming stuff, while the other one is drawing and researching the 3 disadvantage and the advantage of win power. That one is my job, since the other day my partner is now here. So I have to take over, and actually I was rushing since we have to finish it in 20 minutes, and I was having a hard time because I'm only by myself. Furthermore, luckily I finish it in time, and I added the things that it need to be included. 

So how it work?

- So when the blades start moving, the three blades will spin a shaft that will lead to generator.

- Those generator can consists of an conductor, like a coiled wire. That are surrounded by the magnets/

-Rotating shaft turns the magnets all around to its conductor and also it generates an electrical current.

- All of the sensor causes the above of all turbine, to rotate to face into the wind and the three sharp blades will change their angle to best catch those winds. And let me tell you the blades are flexible and will automatically stop spinning if the wind is too strong. 

Steps: 

- Wind turns the turbine blades.

- Spinning the shaft

-Generating electricity

- An inverted converts electricity from to DC to AC.

- The electricity is connected directly to its main power, or sometimes it was connected to a battery bank. Or maybe connected to the electricity grid.  

Advantages :                                                                           Disadvantages:

- Renewable energy                                                          - Unreliable wind strength

- Pollution - free                                                                - Threat to wildlife.

- Cost - effective                                                               - Noise disturbance.

Margaret Mahy

 This will be my second activity that I have to do, and this time I have to create a biography about Margaret Mahy. Who is an children's books author, and my second task is to tell you guys the 8 new things that I have learned about her. I actually didn't have any idea that she will be an author, at first I thought that she is just an ordinary women who did something that change this country. Actually in other word she is a women who, didn't give p writing her stories.

8 new things I have learned :

- Margaret Mahy, is the oldest among the rest. She is born in Whakatane. And was born in March 21, 1936. Mahy is writer for the children and adult, and her books was translated in 15 different language.

- Secondly Mahy book always reflect her delight in fantasy, magic, adventure, humour, etc. I also learned about her parents, why she start writing. Her father was a engineer who also read different stories to them, and in other hand her mother was a teacher who teach young people in Primary. 

- Then she even wrote her first story when she was at the age of seven. And in 1955 she attended the New Zealand Library School in Wellington, then she receive her diploma. Then work for he Petone Public  Library. 

- In 1967 she had her stories published in the New Zealand Journal, and at the time of 1980 she become a full-time writer and has even receive tons of awards. And had the honour for her contribution to New Zealand and the children's literature.

- And Mahy was even the first recipient of the Auckland College of Education's in 2002. In 2005, Mahy receive a secondary doctorate and the Phoenix award in Canada . At the same year she was honoured as a living icon of New Zealand art.

- In December 2015, the Margaret Mahy was opened in Christchurch. the playground design was actually inspired by one of her best known fantasy book.

- Margaret Mahy Treasury, the eleven favourite stories from the marvellous Margaret Mahy was published by puffin in 2011.

- 23,July 2012. At the age of 76 Mahy passed away. Everyone missed her in the New Zealand children's publishing world, even though she passed away her marvellous work still continues of the young generations of New Zealanders. 

Water safety

In our wananga, the 7-9 people need to do a few exercises while the others is doing some test. That activity depends on our EOTC week that will occur one week from now, we as a whole need to make in any event 1 activity structure from each slide. The absolute initial one I made is to make 8 tips on water well being, and I utilised the site called canva to make a banner. It was simple and furthermore fun utilising it, so here is the banner I made about how to be protected in the water. For me it was truly critical to realise that how will generally be protected despite the fact that I'm now a young person, since I would prefer not to place my life into a damage.

Christchurch, 2011 earthquake

 This week we are finding out about the 2011 Christchurch, quake. Same thing we as a whole need to research and watch recordings about the fiasco, and furthermore this task is our last unit. We took a gander at how the quake change our city , and furthermore the individuals here. There's likewise just 4 inquiries we need to answer, and some of them I need to discover more about it because occasionally it just tell a little realities/facts. Just fortunately a portion of the reciprocal content helped me a lot,because I need to help my thoughts and on the off chance that I don't have that much answer for me it seems like I don't research and peruse the content that was given to us. Also I have to do a task when I have to create a D.L.O about my favourite place here in Christchurch, and why is it important to me or why it was my favourite place. 

So here is the slide:

Protest

 A lot of thing that happen here on our Hurumanu. This week we as a class were discussing protest, that occurred here in New Zealand and why they are significant. There's various sorts of dissent like when a lot of individuals needed to change something,racism, LGBTQ, But generally I had been truly center about these protest,and it was about ladies suffrage.At the primary spot this thing grabbed my eye, and it's not on the grounds that I'm a youngster. It was on the grounds that I needed figure out how every ladies here in New Zealand, go to bat for their privileges and how they battled with government with no viciousness or any harm to the network. 

Question: Why do you think it's important to learn about our local heroes ? 

It's really important to remember them and to learn how they fought for the country. And to actually learn how positive they are, and how they shows commitment when these local heroes were having a hard time. That's why for me, it is really good for us to learn about them and be respectful to each of them.  

I took in a ton about these, and including learning new words and what does each word mean from the diverse dissent subject. This time for my introduction I utilised slide to put the realities that I learned. Furthermore, here is additionally a DLO about Springbok Tour.

Egg Drop Science

 In our Hurumanu 3 class, them and I are doing this challenged were it include communicating with others. In day there's this a lot of steps we have to follow,and the first one was to plan and test some of the ideas we have. And me and Linny did different tasks, like one of us is making the base. Then one is helping out to put the tape, and put them all together. The next day, one more person joined our team she helped us put the plastic parachute that I created on the side. I was really scared at the very first place, because we are not allowed to put something soft around the egg like tape. So I thought why not put some foam,and shape it like a box so that the egg is protected inside. 

Steps:

1. Create the base and put a soft foam on it, and then put another base that was made of Popsicle sticks and stocked by a tape. 

2. Then that's time where we created the box foam, so we can put the egg on it. The thing is that it need to be secure, and make sure it won't fall off.

3. And then the last thing is that I created a parachute that has hole in its 4 sides, and put a 4 strings then tie on the side of the base. 

Things you need :

Popsicle sticks, tape, square foams, scissors, plastic, and a strings. 

We were in rush because we only have 20 minutes to create it, and one of my team mate is is being in rush and really panicked. The real question was did the egg survive: Yes, it survive because there's a lot of foam that is compress with each other. And the parachute is big enough to help it land smoothly.        LINK for the VIDEO: VIDEO 

Gravity

Kia Ora, welcome back to my blog and today is another lesson of science. This time, I'm here to share to you guys what we have been doing, and I have been researching. So I was researching about "GRAVITY", and same rules I  have to answer the questions that was given.

1. Is gravity the same on all planets? 

-  Some of them are the same as the gravity, but not all. And to support my answer I learnt that the Venus is a similar gravity as the Earth, and following up Mars is also similar to the Earths gravity. While in other hand the 7 planets were the opposite way such as the Mercury, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It just depend on the size of the planets, mass and the object. And when it comes the solar systems, which is massive and in every size and mass that cause the strength of gravity o their surfaces varies considerably. They all come into a different sizes, because they all have their own properties. They are all different distance away form the sun, and all of them are made out of stuff form the Earth planet. 

 

2. How is gravity related to mass?

-   Well mass is where when one of the object and a person is weightless on one of the planets, causes of the lack(not having enough) of the gravity. Firstly gravity is an attraction between a two objects that have the mass, well the amount of gravity is always directly to the mass amount of the object. And inversely (the opposite of order) proportional to an square of the distance between the two objects. Then the gravity is a force that increase the speed the object of falling, because they accelerate(began to move very quickly) .What I'm saying is that the Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. In short answer the objects that have more mass have more of the gravity, and sometimes the gravity also gets weaker every time with distance. So when one of the object is closer to one another, the stronger the gravitational pulls up. 

3. Calculate your weight on the other planets in our solar system.  Which planet would you weight the most on? The least?

- My weight here on Earth is 38 Kg, and for Mercury I weight 14.4. And actually I was shocked that I only weight like that, and then I just notice that I weighted the same when I'm in Mars. The planet that I weighted the most is Jupiter because I weighted 88.9. In some planets I weighted 42.6, 34.10,etc.

4. How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with a higher gravity? With lower gravity?

- So in the event that we as a whole lived in a higher gravity, we as a whole would die. Why? Well it was since, supposing that the gravity is solid the entirety of our platelets will be pulled down , and possibly our bone may break which isn't acceptable. Also, even we could be nailed to the cold earth like, at that point couldn't move all pieces of your body in light of the high gravity. At times you wouldn't have the option to breath appropriately, and it may crush your chest. We as a whole should be considered about the sun, in light of the weight that it delivered which is the hotness , while the gravity arranges it. The expansion of gravity does it most exceedingly terrible harm far below the world's surface. 

On the off chance that we don't have quite a bit of gravity it would in the long run brings it cost down on all our planets. the itself would be destined to break separated into certain lumps and buoy off into space. What's more, without the power of gravity to hold it together, there's this exceptional weights its center would make it a burst open in a titanic blast.

World War 1

 Kia Ora everybody, today in our social Studies. There's this new task  where we need to do the complementary content, and this week we are finding out about the entire story of WW1 including the New Zealand women. At the first place the entire class and I need to conceptualise the thing we ALREADY know, and we even watch a video that discussed the nation that battled with one another. This week task was by one way or another troublesome in light of the fact that we need to respond to a ton of inquiries, and a some of the videos that was intended for us to watch didn't work. Questions of the inquiries are kinda hard and that we were unable to discover the appropriate response in google or in the content. 

I took in a great deal about WW1 and realities about the ones who took after crafted by the men. So here is the record brimming with my answer, and here is my little bit of blurb that I made.  So to give a little snippet about my drawing. At the top you can see the Title says " NZ WW1", and after ward at base left you can see a trooper holding a banner and a weapon behind me. As the shadow of the soldiers there this cross , that took after them that they kicked the bucket with penance. I simply need to be innovative, and after ward at the base right you can see these three crosses. In the center you can see the huge one since that speaks to the head of New Zealand. and after ward alongside it, there's some mineral cross. At the lower part of it, the poppies since when they all kicked the bucket the poppies ascend in every one of the graves

Gold Mining - Hur 1

 Kia Ora everybody, today I will be sharing you facts about gold rush and there history with the Chinese people. Our errand was to peruse the entirety of the texts that was given to us,and each time we read something intriguing we need write it down in our own words. My class and I should have at least 4 realities about gold mining, and the Chinese people. I learnt a lot about these people,and what's gold mining, where precisely it previously occurred. I discovered huge amounts of data about these which gave me more courage to compose multiple facts. So here is my facts about them.

Facts about gold mining:

• The first European discovery of these gold was credited to Charles Ring, a Tasmanian who discovered it at Driving Creek near Coromandel township in 1852, when gold surfaced in New Zealand in the 1820s. 

• Where many geologists would agree, but they would also add that only in some regions is gold likely to be discovered. Regions are Otago,South land, the West Coast, Golden Bay, and Marlborough, Coromandel Peninsula , and a few other localised sites in New Zealand. Gold is an element which is rare, it is inert, and it is very heavy, it is glossy, it is also malleable. 

• In the mid 1860s, the Otago Gold rush peaked, after which miners left for the emerging West Coast goldfields in large numbers. In 1864, Read went back to Tasmania and spent his final years in a mental institution.

• Wiliam Hunt, John Ebenezer White and George Clarkson with their pickaxes, were digging in the Kurunai Drain. They were one of the several groups which had flocked in search of gold to the Coromandel.Then, they hit the jackpot 150 years ago today.

• The discovery was the first great strike in the Coromandel, and the Thames foothills were swarming with men within months. Life will never be the same again for Hunt, White Clarkson and their mate, William Cobley. They overnight turned into millionaires.

Chinese discoveries:

• Fearing Economic failure, the Chinese miners were hired from Australia and directly from Guangdong by the local authorities of Otago-South land. A huge number of them, with some already in the country helping relatives join them, and got their ticket to New Zealand by chain migration.

• In 186, the first party of Chinese miners came to New Zealand. From Victoria, they have been invited to Australia's goldfields by the authorities and the Dunedin Chamber of the Commerce, as soon as a Usable labour sources to increase the population and rework the goldfield of Otago after European. 

• The Chinese were disliked/hated by Europeans because of their distinct physical and cultural differences. The appearance, but also the strategic ability of them . They were removed from the culture of New Zealand, they were prohibited from living in the cities or from being buried in nearby graveyards.Luckily a few Chinese miners were successful and have earned the respect from the Europeans.

• The store of the Ah Lum also known as Lau Lei, the very last Chinese resident of the settlement and died in 1932. His store is the modest construction of stone and wood topped with a corrugated iron roof, and is one of the most intact buildings. Back in the day, shops are usually sold a mix of items from back home along with local and European products. Some of the store keepers were literate and spoke English, so they were able to provide both English and Chinese translation and even letter writing services.

• In Otago, there were fewer than 200 Chinese miners in 1866, but the Chinese population had risen to 1270 by April 1868. With just under 5000 miners, the population peaked in 1881.  Also fun facts each of the three main religious traditions- Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism- was practised by Chinese miners. To keep bad spirits away or welcome good fortune, several rituals are practised. Although most miners had small shrines in their nuts, in Lawrence and at Round Hill, temples were built.

Parihaka

 Kia Ora everyone,today is another blog about around the world(Hur 1). This time our class is finding out about Parihaka. Parihaka is a small community, in that community it shows what harmony/peace implies, because their chief Te Whiti and Tohu fight in a passive resistance route between the Europeans warriors. They represent there individuals, and they represent their self in light of the fact that the two of them recognises what's correct. I likewise found out about Gandhi a pioneer in India who additionally fight by the British guideline, since his people were not treated right and pleasantly. Those three chiefs knows the genuine significance of Passive Resistance. 

Uninvolved Resistance implies - No savagery, it additionally incorporate tranquil(calm), demonstration, fasting, and in any event, declining to follow laws or request that was given by the legislature. 

So we as a class need to respond to certain inquiries concerning Parihaka, there's 13 inquiries for us to reply. I took in a great deal by watching, and perusing text about it.

Questions and Answer: 

What events lead up to Parihaka being established?Well, the really main events that lead Parihaka to be established is when their people are being peaceful, and don’t want any violence in their city while the European are attacking them and getting their lands away from them, the people just stand there because they know their rights. The Parihaka settlement was founded in 1866. 

What was the ideas behind setting up Parihaka?The idea behind setting up Parihaka is to make sure that no one will attack on the Europeans soldiers, when they are taking some of the lands. They didn’t fight and make sure no one was hurt, and just have a peaceful life to live in that’s the cause why some of their ancestors were taken and arrested and went to South Island jail and all of their lands were taken by them. Some of them even die in peace. 

Who established Parihaka?There are two real leaders who show a lot of integrity and even clarity to their people, and these two are the ones who really show the real definition of “ Peace”. The people that I’m talking about was Te Whiti O Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi, that's why Parihaka were established in November 1881.

Where is Parihaka located?It takes place in New Zealand, and Parihaka is a small community in Taranaki region. It was located between Mount Taranaki and Tasman Sea. 

When did the invasion of Parihaka occur? November 5 1881, when 1600 troops invaded Western Taranaki, which had come to symbolise peace when the Maori land was confiscated. What caused the invasion of Parihaka? In a long term of cause an Invasion of land surveying by some of the government officials. Which led to a land confiscation and the intense tensions between the Maori people and the Europeans. 

How do you think the people of Parihaka were feeling when the troops entered their village?For me all of these emotions are mixed like some of them are sad, frustrated, scared, etc. Because when the soldiers started acting their hearts felt like they’re about to stop, but they were happy because the troops didn’t fire their cannon. Instead, the soldiers tooked Tohu and Te Whiti and when they were marching away the two of them told their people to be steadfast, peaceful and unafraid. Tohu called “ We looked for peace, and we find war”...

Do you think stories about the events of 5th November 1881 were reported on by the media at the time? No, I know that this event wasn’t reported on social media, and to support my ideas. I have read a text that already gave me a clue that this was reported in a newspaper, also in the early 90s the Maori people lived near a mountain that’s why they don’t have any WiFi. I also think the one who has their point of view on this was the Europeans, in my opinion they were the one who tells stories to the whole community since they are the ones who control everything in the past. 

How long were Te Whiti and Tohu imprisoned? Where? What did they intend to do when they returned to Parihaka?In my research Te Whiti and Tohu were imprisoned for six months, in Ripapa South Island. When they returned to their home, both of them tried to reconstruct Parihaka as a model or in other words modern community. In 1886 Te Whiti got arrested again and returned in 1887, then Parihaka was continued as the center of non-violence resistance.

What was the impact on Māori when of the New Zealand Company and other representatives of "The Crown" confiscated or purchased land very cheaply from Māori? What happened to Māori who lost their land? Where and how did they live? 

The New Zealand Company confiscated their land, and they also purchased those land very cheaply from the Maori. The Maori people who lost their lands were forced by the Europeans to move homes, after that all of them lived poorly and of course they wouldn’t stop worrying about being hurt but they were wrong because the two leaders didn't want any violence and no bloody wars. Where? They still live there because the Parihaka people know that they don’t have to leave even though the soldiers are forcing them. They stand for their rights and honour. 

How do you think the New Zealand wars impacted on iwi and groups of people who were no longer able to live on their whenua?

Well the impact of the Maori’s land wasn’t that good majestic, because some of them including the kids were all getting sick. Let's say all of them are living poorly. That's why they don’t have much food to eat, because of the Europeans taking their lands. So New Zealand impacted the iwi really hard, and I strongly believe that there’s no day that they didn’t suffer. Those Maori/iwi people who lost their property/lands were all banned to take them back, from the Europeans. 

What does the word PEACE mean to you? What is "passive resistance? What does the phrase mean?

To me Peace means something really special, because without it my life would be really hard and I would always suffer. Peace does not mean you always need to be in a place where there is no noise , trouble or hard work. It means to be in the center of those things and that will come to your heart. And nobody can bring you peace but yourself, you will not find peace until you listen to your heart. For me passive resistance means non-violent,fasting, also the other definition of being peaceful.

What other ways are there to solve major issues between people/ countries that do not use violence as a way of controlling others or solving problems? 

Well if they don’t use any violence people will have more courage to do things that were against the law, and that will make it hard for the government to stop because they might protest against them, etc. Also people would get a long only to do bad things, and that will make their country look bad. So the only thing that will help and sort out things is to talk to them kindly, and ask them politely. Don’t force them to do what you wanted to do, because that will make the situation worse and it wouldn’t help you. Make an agreement between them or something, but you need to make sure why you want them to believe you. 

Who are some of the other world leaders who have used passive resistance? What was their cause and how is/was it peaceful?

There’s a lot of leaders who have used passive resistance to their people/country. Like Te Whiti and Tohu, but this person shocked me and he lived in India. He is well known as Mahatma Gandhi but his real name is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, this person is even the leader of Indian’s non-violent independence.  He was born in Oct 2,1869, he became a great leader when he started working for a law firm in South Africa. That’s the time where he saw people being treated badly, so he stood up for his rights. Well you see in South Africa there’s a lot of impairment against the Indians,  but Mohandas knew he couldn’t stand for it. Mohandas did some demonstrations by standing up to the British law, so he organised a nonviolent protest. That didn’t make the British happy, and it caused him to be thrown in prison but he didn’t stop so when he was in there. Mohandas fasted and wouldn’t eat. That let the British let him go out of the jail, because they were scared that when he died a lot of people would get angry and all of them didn’t want that. He inspired a lot of people when he protested non-violent and neither did I.

Spheros on Mars

Kia Ora readers, on our Science we again need to answer a portion of the questions, since Mr Reizinger isn't with us today we have various options we can do. I picked this activity since I learn more every time I read a few writings and realities about the point. So here is the questions and my answer.Questions and Answer: 

1. What Rocket did the Perseverance use to get into space?  

At the time of 7: 50 am Thursday on a United Launch Alliance ATLAS V rocket. It blasted off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. They picked this because Atlas V was one of the biggest rocket available for the interplanetary flight, NASA selected this for the Mars 2020 mission because it has the right to liftoff capability for the weight requirements and destination.This rocket is going to the red planet for the fifth time with Perseverance. 

2. Describe the two vehicles that are being taken to Mars.

The name of the vehicles that was taken in Mars on the day of July 20th 1976 was "Viking One Lander". Mission of this vehicle is is to try finding the evidence of existing life on Martian surface and this lander was a spacecraft .  Other one was called "Trans habitat" 

3. Where does the mission plan to land on mars? What are they looking for?

The Perseverance are landing in Jezero Crater  to the mission. They picked that  because the Scientist believe that the place was flooded with water, and it was the home to an ancient river delta. They also thought the rover will find traces and will left it behind in the rocks. 

4. How will the vehicle land without being damaged? 

The answer for this one is that this vehicle has a parachute that was connected, and it's job was to help land perfectly also make sure the vehicle doesn't have any damaged on it.  Those parachute has something to the side of the vehicle which is a little rockets and that will help go slowly go down,not just putting it in the surface. 

Science - different ways to communicate

Kia Ora, today my class and I were finishing  off our science task that incorporate clarification composing. We all need to search some facts and study the inquiries.The absolute first thing I did is that to research a few things about the theme and pick some regular things that people used to communicate with others. We were fortunate in light of the fact that our teachers previously gave us a few thoughts, which made this undertaking simpler. A slide that show some various things that was utilised to impart, and our task was to pick 3 things that intrigue us and after that we need to do some more research. At that point make a clarification expounding on it, to me I picked cell phones, radio/walkie talkie, and after ward satellite. I struggled composing this, however fortunately there's huge amounts of site I can use to get some data. 

I utilised the application canva, in light of the fact that it was more simpler to use as I would see it. So here is the introduction that I made.

Gold Rush

 Kia ora everyone, today in our Social studies and reading we have to make a blog post about what we know in Gold mining. We also have to tell what discrimination mean. 

All I about gold mining/gold rush, is that miners dig underground and find some real gold. I heard that this gold are mostly found only in a certain areas, and this work can be tough to every miners because sometimes you have to dig with your own hand. This happened a long time ago and now I feel like there's some different methods of how to dig and find this rare looking golds.

First method is mostly about people using shovel, their hands, pans and even cradle. Mostly people used pans for drilling, then they used the cradles to rocked back and forth. Using those thing make their life easier. Sometimes they used machine, because these gold are mostly found in rocks, have been worn down the sands, underground caves. 

Second method is using the common sluice boxes, these thing are made out of wooden terrace boxes and they are long. Miners use it to go underground, so when they lift it up some gold will be trapped in the box and will also allow the light materials when they shake the sluice box gently in the water. 

Third method is that you have to find a gold mine cave, and mine it yourself. If you find it difficult to do which most people feel, go find a partner and help each other find the rare gold you've been wanting. I think not a lot of people do that, because they all have their own way of doing it. 

Now I will be telling you guys the meaning of " Discrimination" well for me it's about racism. Like your appearance, your culture, how you speak other uncommon language, race, gender. It's about two people being different and one person said something harmful. That's what discrimination to me. 

Next week I will be telling you guys more facts about gold rush, and 4 facts of how did the Chinese people change the Maori people life.
