Eotc week

Eotc week!

Hi, guys welcome back to another blog post. Today in Wananga we were talking about our fun days out aka Eotc week ( Eotc week stands for education outside the classroom). Eotc week is a week where our school goes out of school grounds and do different kinds of cool activities like for example this year we are going to be going to, Jellie Park, adrenalin forest and the city center (we will be visiting the museum, Margertmahy, the Christchurch art gallery, and the Turanga Library, have you guys been to any of these places?. For my task today I made 3 posters about, Jellie Park, Turanga Library, and adrenalin forest. Here are my three posters.

1 poster - Jellie park poster - This poster is showing 6 things to do before you go swimming and 6 safety tips.

2 poster - This poster is about some information about the Turanga Library.

This last poster is about how we can show our school values outside of school.

Living on Mars!

What's up guys welcome back to another blog post. Last week I was learning about a group's experience of living on Mars. I thought that it was really interesting learning about their experience because you never know I/you might want to visit Mars one day too. So a six-person crew would go a stay at the Mars research station for around 2 weeks, to learn about what it might be like living on Mars. They would do all the things/tasks that they would do when on Mars, like for example, Eat Dehydrated food, They would wear their spacesuits every time they would go outside, Etc.

Here is my work that I did!

My summary:

People go and visit the Mars research station for two weeks, To learn what and how it would be like when living on the planet Mars. About a 6 person crew would be doing tasks that people would usually do on Mars For example, They would wear spacesuits and helmets every time they would go outside, and they would eat dehydrated food       (Dehydrated food is food that is processed of reducing moisture of the food, A54KA dry food) and communicate with the outside world by radio. The crew would live in a hab, which is a two-story cylinder with bunk rooms/beds, Living space, and the laboratory. The space crew would spend their time studying geology biology and learning about the challenges of living together in a small space on mars.

What challenges did Haritina have?

Haitians job wasn’t like any 9 -5 hour job, because it was a 24/7 job, you would be at the station all day working. Mars is like a completely different environment from the earth so sometimes people would have different emotions when they are in unfamiliar places.

What do you think people would need to practice before going to Mars?

Before going to mars people would need to practice being self isolated (meaning being around no one). People would probably argue every time because of the space and the place that they are in. So I think that people should also practice staying calm and practice ways to calm them down when over pressured. When the crew land on mars they would have to take some time to get used to the environment and the things around, They would also have to get used to wearing their suits every time they go outside.

2011 Christchurch Earthquake!

 Hi, guys welcome back to another blog post. Today for 2 hours we were learning and researching the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake. How old were you when the Christchurch Earthquake happened? I was around 3 or 4 when it happened, and I still remember somethings that happened but not a lot. I have made a slide show showing somethings about the Christchurch Earthquake and the Impact that it had on Christchurch. I think that it was really fun learning about the Earthquake because I got to learn many more facts and information about the Earthquake and why it happened.

Thank you so much for reading my blog post. Please feel free to leave a comment about what your thought is about the Christchurch Earthquake.

Mex Mince / Nachos

Mex Mince / Nachos 

Hello, bloggers welcome back to another blog post for this week. Yesterday in our last period we had food tech,for food tech we made Mex mince and Nachos. I had worked in a group of 3 with, Quaid, Coday, and myself. So on Thursday, we had prepared our food for Friday so we could heat it up and serve the food for the next day. We were required to make this blog post so we could show our thoughts on how we did and to show you guys the recipe. 

The recipe for the Mex Mince and Nachos:

Our teamwork:

I think that on Thursday my team had worked pretty good but still had some issues with taking turns and working as a team, but I do think that on Friday we improved and started to work as a group when making the food. For today I think that I would give my team 9/10 for improving and working as a team.

How I think  I did:

I think that I did pretty good at working with my team and helping them. Next time I would like to just back away a little bit and let my team do some of the work, but I will still help them just not all the time. 

Conclusion: 

I think that overall we did pretty good for to periods of cooking but I do want to do even better next week but for both days. 

Protesting!

Protesting:

Hi, guys welcome back to my blog. For today's class we have been learning and looking to events where people have been protesting for the right things, for example, women's suffrage (women's having the right to vote), Springbok tour ( where people were protesting about the African government separating white and black), The Parihaka (protesting about their land), etc. 

Two of the main protesting groups I was really interested in was the women's suffrage and the springbok tour because I think that it's right for women to vote, and white and black shouldn't be separated because we all have the same blood just different colors. So for today's tasks, we had to pick three of the tasks on the bingo board and do them.  

Conclusion:

Overall I think that learning about protesting groups because Kids learning about this is very special, all of these interesting facts and pieces of information have just been stored in our heads, and when other people ask about what you think about the protesting groups you would already have an idea in your head.
