Who are we Hurumanu

Hello fellow readers and welcome to another blog post. Today we will be talking about Maori history. Today in class we were learning about Maori history. 

Maori originated from Hawaiki and they came to New Zealand in Waka and fought Moriori taking over the land. The Maori brought with them Dogs, Rats, Crops, Kumara and Taro. 

The South Island was too cold to grow crops so most Maori moved to North Island. They got most of there food from the sea. Scientists have recently discovered that Moriori and Maori share the same D.N.A.

The Moa became extinct because of the rats and the dogs eating their eggs and the Maori people hunting them. The Maori grouped themselves and created different tribes. 

The leaders, chiefs, lords, kings were called rangitira. They looked after the people and protected the land.

Mars

Hello fellow readers and welcome to another blog post today I will be talking about mars. Today for Science me and my friend Felicity found 8 facts about mars and put it on a D.L.O here is our D.L.O..

Our teacher gave us some more questions to answer so here they are.

Why can't you start fire on Mars?? Because there is no Oxygen on Mars.

Why is Mars so cold?? Because there is no Oxygen there is only Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Dioxide is warm.

How long would it take to send a radio message to Mars?? 13 minutes

Was there ever any water on Mars ?? Yes.

Science - The Martian Recount

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post, for the past three lessons of science we have been watching a movie called "The Martian".

Before we started to watch the movie we had to predict what was going to happen based off of the movie cover, I predicted that there would be a man who travels to mars and gets stuck there because of a storm, surprisingly this prediction did come true.

10 minutes into the movie the teacher paused it and we wrote in our books the characters, the setting and three of the details. Once we had wrote down those three things we continued watching the movie and found out that his team had to leave him in the storm. He ended up being stranded on Mars and used the necessities he had left to survive.

He grabbed his poop and made fertiliser out of it and planted potatoes to make more potatoes and it was successful. NASA thought that he was dead but soon found out that he was alive after multiple attempts they found a way to communicate with each other.

He found a way that might help with him getting home he had to travel 150km but to save fuel he had to turn heating off but doing that would make him freeze to death so he picked up a nuclear bomb and put it in the rover because it was radiating heat. This plan was unsuccessful.

They tried a couple of times to get more food to him because he was running out and the first one was  unsuccessful  the second time they tried another plan that would get him home and get him food and it was successful.

In the end he managed to get home and no one got hurt in the process and he ended up teaching young students about mars and how to survive.

2019 Reflection

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post today I will be writing a reflection on my biggest achievement.

I have done many things this year but I am going to start from the beginning, for term 1 I was going to another school I was at St. Bernadette's which is a primary school, I was going through some things at that school and me and my mother decided to wait until the end of term 1 and then go to Hornby High for term 2. So it was term 2 and I had started at Hornby High School I was very nervous but I got over it and that was my biggest achievement of 2019.

Christmas'

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post I will be showing you the slideshow I made for the task...

Here it is.

Make our own activity ~ Playing To Win

Hello fellow readers and for today's task I will be making my own activity, it will be based off of the Novel study I have been reading Playing To Win.

The activity that I have decided to do is find 4 words in the book that you do not completely understand and find the meaning then use the word in a sentence. It must be in full sentences.

Heaving means extremely crowded ~ I walked around the heaving mess.

Pity means feeling sorry for someone ~ I pitied my uncle for the things he had done.

Pre- match means in or relating to the period before a sports match ~ I had a Pre - match the day before the actual game.

Flourish means develop rapidly ~ I flourished the techniques in sports.

I hope you liked the activity that I made :)
