Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing some answers from the second sheet we need to blog about on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We got given questions then we had to answer them on a sheet, after we did all the answers that we could we had to blog about them without saying the question, just writing about them.
Here is a (link) for you to watch.

In 1830's the population went down from around 100,000 thousand to 80,000 - 70,000.

2 reasons the population went down lower was mainly from war and diseases.

The name of the main settlement was Russell Kororareka.

The rangatira and missionaries were unhappy about what was happening in their town. (British taking over eg. Partying, unfair trades, prostituting etc.)

The British saw France as a treat because the British were colonising New Zealand.

Around 500 chiefs from the rangatira signed the treaty.

A problem the way the treaty was written was the translation for the Maori.

In Maori Tino Rangatiratanga is having your own way.

Sovereignty means the government of England.

 Kawanatanga is another word for government.

 Hone Heke cut down 3 North flags just to show his frustration for what was happening in the north.

The Maori made trenches to beat the British in the wars.

Why its better to drink water.

Why its better to drink water.

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing the D.L.O me and my friend Teagen did.
We had to do this in our Hurumanu: Healthy lifestyles.
What we had to do was, Get a sheet of paper with different drinks on them like energy drinks, fizzy, milk, orange juice, etc.
They had the amount of sugar that goes into them on the side of each 1, then we got given a cup and a few small bags.
We had to fill the bags up with the amount of teaspoons of sugar they had on the side and put the bag on them.

After we finished with that we had to make a D.L.O on why it is better to drink water and not energy drinks or anything like that.

Here is mine and Teagens D.LO:

I hope you learnt something

Also tell me if you learnt something from the facts, and what one.

Simple to complex sentences *story*

Simple to complex sentences *story*

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the writing we did today in Hurumanu.
What we had to do was write down a simple sentence then at the end make a story with the complex sentences.

Then we had to post it on our blog wich is what im doing now.

Here is my story:

He ran away 1 hour ago from the house, feeling bad escaping out the window because he saw the chance. When he jumped out he broke a bone in his leg.
His parents heard and rushed out there to help.“What were you thinking?”Said the parents. “You don’t wanna know”
said the boy. His parents helped him up. Then they rushed to the hospital to get him checked.

Growing plants questions - DLO

Growing plants questions - DLO

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing you the DLO we did today in Hurumanu 3.


First we had to pick a buddy to work with, I chose Teagen (a friend of mine)

Then we had to get materials - Beaker, tissue paper, 2 seeds, and water.
(1 seed for each person)

First get your beaker

Next roll up your paper to put in the beaker - around the edges.

Put seeds in separate sides outside the paper towel.

Then put 40 ml's of water in the middle and make sure it wets all of the paper towel.

We got given 3 questions to answer, me and my friend worked on a google drawing and this is what we came up with:

Making Biltong Beef Jerky

Making Biltong Beef jerky

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the science beef jerky work we have been doing.
We had to fill out a google doc and put information in it.

We only got to the method part and if we had spare time we could do bonus questions we get given by the teacher.

I finished them both but not the full thing so the green highlighted parts is what we didn't get to finish.

Here is mine.

Google drawings - bonus questions

Making Biltong (Beef Jerky)

Aim:  

To preserve meat using salt.

Hypothesis:  

I think the salt will (Give it more flavour or make it juicier) 

Justification:  

It moisturises the meat and makes it last longer.

Method:  

Materials

•  Pen
• Paper towel
• Beef jerky
• Salt
• Fishing line type of string

Instructions

1. Get a paper towel then put the beef jerky on it.
2. Put 2 teaspoons of salt on it.
3. Put your name on the paper towel.
4. Take it off the paper towel.
5. Hang it on the string.
6. Wait for it to dry.

Results:  

Observations

•  Because it wasn’t mine I didn’t want to try it so I gave a piece to the teacher and one of my friends the teacher said it wa too salty and my friend said just a little bit less salt.
• The biltong looks brown and weird because the corners curled over.
• It smells like dog treats… 🙃 🐶🥩

Conclusion:  

• What was the Aim?   My aim was to preserve meat using salt.

• What did your results mean?  

• Was your Hypothesis correct?  No I don’t think so because the feedback I got said it was just “too salty” and I asked them if it made the beef juicer.
• Were there any anomalies (unexpected results)? Yes, I thought I would get the 1 I made and not another persons, but still I got feedback from it to do my writing.


• What could have caused them? The way the person wrote the order of peoples beef jerky in her book.


• How could you change the experiment to fix these problems? Everyone gets a Little piece of baking paper to put their name on it then put it With the beef jerky so we know who’s is who’s.


• Did any interesting questions arise from doing the experiment?
Not that I know of.


• What sort of experiments could you follow-up with?
Now we’re doing the growing plants science experiment.

Early Encounters in Aotearoa

Early Encounters in Aotearoa 

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the sheet we were writing in getting answers from a video the class was watching.

The first explorer to arrive in Aotearoa was Abel Tasman.

Able Tasman arrived in Aotearoa in 1642.

Able Tasman gave New Zealand its name, in Maori its called Nova Zealandia.

The next explorer was James Cook.

James Cook arrived in 1769 

The name of one of the chief explorers was Tupaia

The Europeans bung Pigs, Rats, Potatoes  and Diseases 

A musket is a gun that shoots gum powder - shotgun.

The musket wars ended in the late 1830's.

In the 1840's the ratio of Maori to Pakeha was 40 Maori for 1 Pakeha.

Simple to Complex Sentences

Simple to Complex Sentences 

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing with you the sentences we did to practice for our assessments that we are doing in a few days. 

What we are doing is writing down a simple sentence that the teacher gave us then adding on to it sort of like what the photo is showing you. 

Here is my practice.

Simple to complex sentences

The dog ate insanely.

Two days ago the dog ate Insanely.

Two days ago the dog ate insanely at the house.

Two days ago the dog ate insanely at the house
making a mess.

Two days ago the dog ate insanely at the house
making a mess,
we did this because we are practising for our assessments
we are doing in a few days.

We were changing our simple to complex making sure we had
adjectives in the sentences and adding details.
