Non-Violent Protestors

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about what we have been doing for Who Are We. So for who are we, we have been learning about nonviolent protesting and protesters I had finished everything so I had to move onto the fast finishers or extra work. For this extra work we had to give 4 examples about nonviolent protesters and give 5 facts about each one. 

Here is the slideshow...

I hope you learnt something about nonviolent protesters from this blog post. 

Sphero's ~ Science

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about what we have been doing for science. So for science we made a track with possible obstacles that could be on mars for instance rocks and sand storms this would be for the rover but obviously we don't have a rover to use. The next thing we did was we drew on paper possible obstacles and then we cut them out and went outside. We then went into the lane ways between Tieke and Ririoriro and started going around the obstacles we made. We took some photos of what was going on. When we were controlling the Sphero's we used an app and steered it with a little button thingy.

here are the photo's....

Parihaka

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about what I have been doing for Who Are We hurumanu. So for this hurumanu we have been learning about Parihaka and what it is we had to gather information about it and then turn that information into a D.L.O. I think my next steps are for when I next do a D.L.O is to use something other then slides.

Here is my work...

Mars Perseverance Mission

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be answering some questions that were put onto the hurumanu site about the Mars Perseverance Mission. 

The Rocket that the perseverance used to get into space is the Atlas V Rocket. The two vehicles that are being taken to Mars by the Atlas V Rocket is a helicopter and the Perseverance Rover. 

They plan to land the rocket in the Jezero Crater on February 18th, 2021. They are looking for signs of ancient life to see if people would be able to survive on Mars. They are also collecting samples of rock and soil from Mars to test. The rock and soil will be collected on later Mars missions. 

The rover will land without being damaged by descending through the Martian atmosphere on a parachute and the sky crane will try and hover above the ground and its going to let down the rover.  Where as the helicopter is inside the rover so that will go down as the rover goes down. 

I hope there was some educational information in this piece of writing. 

Navigation In Space

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about certain things to do with space. We had to answer questions that were on the hurumanu blog. 

A solar system is something in space smaller then a galaxy or universe but yet humans still don't know exactly how large our solar system is. In our solar system their are stars, meteors, planets such as the moon and earth, asteroids and more. The milky way is an example of a spiral galaxy which contains no stars of young age meaning they are all older. 

A nebula is a giant cloud of gas and dust in space some nebulae come from the gas and dust that has been thrown out by the explosion of a dying star. A star is a ball of gas mostly hydrogen and helium held together by gravity. 

There is no up or down in space which can affect the way people think or move in space. Stars can be used to navigate because of different constellation and shapes/ positions of stars that are in the sky. 

Three facts about the black hole's are you can't directly see a black hole. The first black hole wasn't discovered until X-ray astronomy was used and the last one being our solar system probably has a black hole.

Spaghettification means noodle affect which means something that can stretch into long thin shapes. 

Starryteller

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I had to read a story called Starryteller. For this task we have to answer questions that are on the hurumanu site about the story. We had to answer these questions in full sentences.

At the Mars Desert Research Center they felt what it would be like in Mars they experienced what it would be like to sleep, eat and over all live if they were to go on a mission to Mars. In the story the lady said that it was the one chance in feeling like an astronaut. She also said that the experience changed her perspective on things. 

Haritina said that it was very difficult because instead of having a nine to five job they were there 24/7 and she wasn't used to the environment that she had to live in and she said she felt scared being in such a unfamiliar place. 

I think its important for them to go to the Mars Desert Research Center so they know what its gonna be like and to find out how they're going to live if they do go to Mars. I also think it's good before going so they can get used to the environment that they would be living in. 

Kahui Art

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing with you my Hornby Pride logo. This started around 3 - 4 years ago when teachers had the concern that students weren't proud to be at HHS, then the students showed the staff they were.  Mana Horomaka to me shows how proud the students of HHS are to be at this school. I am a proud student at Hornby High School because they have multiple different clubs to join and respect every single culture and belief. 

Here is my art work....
