Nieu & Tukelau Language Week!

Fakalofa Atu! This week and next week was Nieu and Tokelau language week. We were tasked to choose an activity on the grid. I chose to do phrases of the languages in a poster. I hope you like it! Tofa!

Art Photo Compositions

Nǐ Hǎo! Last week in Visual Arts, we learned the different types of photo compositions. Now if you have no idea of what it is, this is the right place for you. Photo compositions in photography are basically placing an element in a way that suits the core idea or goal of your work best. Now here's a slide presentation to help you get a better understanding of it. It was a template created by our teacher but I changed it up a bit to look nice. Also, some of the photos included are taken by me. Let's see if you guys can guess which ones are taken by me! :) 

As always, thank you for viewing my post. Have a nice day!

Q: Are you interested in Photography? Why or why not?

White Blood Cells POV - Writing (Late post)

Hello! Welcome to another post of mine. Weeks ago, In Hurumanu 2 (Science + Literacy) we were studying about blood. In one of our tasks, we were tasked to write a story about the blood cells. To expand an individual's understanding of blood and its functions. Here's my mini-story about the 4 types of blood cells through the White blood cell's point of view (POV). I hope you enjoyed it and have learned something new! 

 White Blood Cells POV (Point of view)

Hello. I am White blood cells. I have three other brothers and they are Red blood cells, Plasma, and Platelets. We are the four types of blood cells that are contained inside the human body. Each of us has different jobs that are responsible for. I and my brother Platelets are the defenders while my brother Plasma and red blood cells are responsible for transporting the chemicals that are needed for the body to survive. 

Together, we are the blood brothers.

Let me tell you, a bit more about me. My job is to protect the human body from any foreign molecules or infections that try to dare to enter the body. I am the bravest and fight any infections that come my way. I fought the infections by producing antibodies. Thus, the human body will stay healthy and safe. I usually rest when the body is perfectly healthy and a bit more active when it’s not well.

My brother, Platelets, kind of had a similar job as me. We both protect the body. Platelets are responsible for making blood clots when the body gets a wound or cut. That way, it would prevent the amount of blood loss from the body. Losing a lot of blood can lead to some serious conditions. Platelets are the tiny fragments of cells.

Next, my brother, red blood cells. He is responsible for carrying a chemical called “Hemoglobin”. A chemical that carries oxygen around the body. Without oxygen, humans wouldn’t be able to live. Red blood cells make up about 45% of the human body so there are more red blood cells.

Lastly, my brother Plasma. Plasma is rather a straw-colored liquid. He transports carbon dioxide from the human cells to their lungs, nutrients from the small intestine of their cells, and chemical messengers (called hormones) to their cells too. It makes up about 54% of the human body's blood.

Now there you have it. We are the blood brothers. Nice to meet you!

Now I have to go. I need to go and fight those nasty infections!

Hurumanu 6: Political Party

This week we continued on to look at politics. This week and the couple following weeks, we are focusing on creating our own political parties in groups. We needed to include the name of the party, slogan, logo, policies, and manifesto. The people in my group were Skyler, Shiela, Rieya, and Janel. This week we manage to finished some things. Our party leader is Rieya. 

Our party is called the "Constellation Party". Why the Constellation is a group of visible stars, we as individuals represent the stars, because every star is different from each other, although we are all different, we are like a constellation because we are all together and we will fight together as one in order to make New Zealand a better place, where they can look up at us and be inspired, with that, we, New Zealanders are a constellation.

Relating to that, our slogan for our party is "Our individualities can create a constellation". The main colour of our party is Purple. We chose the colour “Purple” because purple is the colour that represents New Zealand’s dignity, pride, nobility, ambition and power. Using this, we can show that we have the ability to show the world that New Zealand can represent these strengths.

Today we created our team logo as well as our party policies and have started on our Manifesto. Our policies and manifesto aren't clear at the moment but our focus next week is to get it done. Also the party leader speech.

Hurumanu 6: Voting Guide Poster

Last week in Hurumanu 6, we began looking at political parties/leaders around the country. In relating to that, we also learned how to vote. If you don't know how yet. Here's a guided poster I made to explain briefly the process you have to go through in order to vote for your candidates. When voting, you are given 2 votes. One for a party and an electorate chair of your town.

Hope you get a better understanding of the voting system.

 Hope you like my poster and have a nice day bye!

My Summer Holiday

My summer holiday recount

     I spend my holidays mostly staying at home relaxing watching Anime. During Christmas, my family and I had a long drive to Queenstown. It was a pretty exhausting trip for me but we arrived at Queenstown at ease.

     We stayed there for 3 days. During those 3 days, we tried a variety of things in Queenstown from tasty foods to thrilling rides. My highlight was probably trying different sort of ice cream flavours of Patagonia ice cream shop. It was おいしい (delicious).

      than that, we also visited the Gondola in Queenstown. It was terrifying up high and at the same time, It's a pleasing scenery above. Overall, my holidays were okay. That's all. Sayounara~!

Teaching Volleyball

Hello, today I'll be telling you how my team's presentation teaching sport session went. First of all, Our sport that we chose to teach was Volleyball. I think, in my opinion, our lesson went pretty amazing because we were organized, got the presentation ready to show them. Though, there's some confusion during our lesson because some decided to not pay attention and not knowing what to do. My role in the team was to help to sort out teams and to help to get the volleyballs. Volleyball is a great sport and I liked it but next time I'd like to try badminton since I'm interested in it, but I'm not an expert though. Two of the things that I've learned in my sport were that they have to rotate and the person in the back left is the one who will serve the ball every time. Would you be interested to play Volleyball? Why or Why not? Thank you for viewing my post and have an amazing day! 

Here's our presentation that we presented to teach our class Volleyball:

CIP Mahuta - T4, W2

Kamusta, today I'll be doing our daily blogging on what we did today in CIP Tane Mahuta. On this day, we visited the garden where we did tree planting. We helped to remove the weeds near the plants. There was a lot of variety of plants and some were very difficult to see because they are kinda blending with the weeds. But luckily, no plants were accidentally pulled out. Though, it was a bit chilly when we did it and some students were mocking around and throwing rocks and weeds at each other and it was annoying. 

Bye and have a great day!

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. Straws (4x)
2.   Cups (4x)
3.   Pin
4.   Pencil
5.   Tape

STEPS

1. Tape the 2 straws together and also the other 2.
2.  Make a hole both sides of the cups.
3.  Put the straws to the holes do the same to the other one.
4.  Tape them together and make sure the cups are facing the sideways.
5.  Now get your pin and pin both of the straws over and under one another to the rubber of the pencil. 

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10 secs	1 spin
2.	10 secs	none
3.	10 secs	?
4.	10 secs	?

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

CONCLUSION:

Our one worked and it can spin. But there's no much wind to spin it around. Also, we didn't have enough time to spin it 4 times. 

What Has Been Going On P.E. Hurumanu?

What Has Been Going On P.E. Hurumanu?

Annyeong Haseyo! Today I'm gonna give you guys an update about what's going on our Amazing P.E. Hurumanu called We're on Each Others Team.
