The fight to keep kauri dieback out of Warkworth's Parry Kauri Park

The Kauri tree is one of the biggest/ oldest trees in the world that is going to slowly extinct if we don't do anything about the disease infecting it. This disease is called the kauri dieback, which has already spread throughout numerous parks and killed many trees. A specific park in Warkworth north of Auckland has a whole lot of kauri trees that they are trying to protect from the kauri dieback. Due to this problem, the President of the park, Ray Jensen has put broad walks and cleaning stations that help protect the park from the infection. Just like Jenny Marcroft and Mels Barton who have stated in one of there interviews about the kauri trees have said that the community should notice this, I believe that the council and the community should pay attention to these problems to stop our native kauri trees from dying of the Kauri Dieback disease/ infection. They could start by building broad walks and cleaning stations in areas where the disease hasn't spread to. This could be passed onto the government if the problem gets out of hand.

How a BILL becomes and ACT (Law)

Government Decisions

I think that foreign landowners should not be allowed to sell NZ bottled water, simply because they might take all the credit when it becomes successful. That is my opinion, however, Marama Davidson (Green Party co-leader) had a lot to say about this. Her reason was a bit similar to mine, she stated that we to make sure that we are not giving away this resource to foreign land buyers to sell to the international corporations that reap profits from the expense of New Zealand's best interests.

Cybersmart Year 9 Assessment

Cybersmart

What it means to be cyber smart and why it is important.

• Being cyber smart means being safe and knowing right from wrong while surfing on the internet.

Why is it important to be cyber smart?

• So you can keep out of trouble online and in real life. An online example would be to be positive if you’re on social media to other people or even your friends. 

Two things you learnt about being cyber smart and how you could apply it to your own life

• That cyberbullying is an actual crime and you could actually go to prison for it. What I could learn from this would be to comment or talk positively on any kind of social media or just online.

A personal strategy a young person can do to help themselves if they are being cyberbullied

• A strategy a young person could use would be to talk to someone in either their family or a close friend before it gets out of hand.

An interpersonal strategy a young person can do to help their friend who is being cyberbullied

• They could help their friend ignore the cyberbully by putting their focus on other things like playing outside, playing a game or something that helps their friend take it off their mind.  

A personal strategy a young person who finds themselves bullying other young people can do to help build their self-esteem and change their behaviour

• I could try and talk to them and try and understand what their problem is and help to solve it. And if that does not work try and bribe them by buying them food, and if that doesn't work try and ask someone that's very close to him to help him sort his problem out.

Tips to give to the year 6s about how they could become cyber smart.

• Stay away from bad ads that occur whenever you're watching something or playing games.
• Talk to someone whenever you're getting cyberbullied

Survivor blog reflection

Problems we faced while surviving were having a lack of clothes, getting resources and food and lastly the pirates that attacked us. We solved the lack of clothes problem by getting some off the people on the island. Getting resources and food was pretty hard but in the end, the people on the island helped us gather them. The solution to the pirate problem would be to fight back. I made the decisions. I was the one who made the decisions because they voted me as the leader. We tried voting, but that didn't work so we just picked a random person in our group. We're linking this to our next topic about the government.

Baked Bean Bread Cases

Today in food tech we learnt how to make Baked bean bread cases. It was fun.

My Migration Model

My Migration model shows that more of the people of Tokelau are migrating to NZ, rather than NZ residents moving to Tokelau. Tokelauan people have moved from their place of origin because of the lack of education, food, clothing, job opportunities and a bad economy. Reasons, why there are more moving to NZ, is because of better education, more food, better clothing, more job opportunities and a great economy. 

Chocolate muffins

Today in food tech we learnt how to make chocolate muffins.

Omelets

Today in food tech we learned how to make Omelets with bacon, onion, and capsicum.

Banana Muffins

Today in food tech we learnt how to make banana muffins.

Global Warming and Climate Change

The image I have created from photos I have found on the internet represents climate change and global warming. As you can see one half of my picture states that this is what our world would look like if we carry on infecting the air and stuff. Climate change is a long-term change in our world's weather. This can be caused by nature and volcano eruptions. Humans can also cause climate change. This can happen from the carbon dioxide that is released into the air by factories, cars, planes and etc. Climate refugees are the victims of the climate change. They must leave their homes and countries in order to survive. 

 

Making Quiche's

Today in food tech I and Tamati learned how to make ham and cheese Quiches. Our skills for this week are 1. follow the instruction steps, 2. How to read the ingredients and last but not least 3. How to measure the right ingredients.

Tokelau

Tokelau has an increase in there storms and weather than other countries and that's why they built a sea wall because their island is only 5 meters and ( 16 feet ) they are just above sea level. If water rises any higher they don’t need to be worry cause their seawall will be there to stop any seawater from coming in, until it breaks.

Their school is on another Island because their main Island is too small for a school. Their years only go up to form 4. Once finished most of them go straight to work, helping the elders and the Island. Only some get scholarships to other countries for better education.

On this day I’ll Be going back to Tokelau. The trip will take at least 1 or 2 days to arrive at Tokelau, the time I’ll be going back to Tokelau will be 8:35 am and I’ll be catching a ferry to go there, it’s going to be awesome once I get there, I'm also happy that now my country has solar panels and its 24/7 which means I can at least watch some T.V at least.

But once I get there we're gonna sleep on a high area cause their storm has increased so there be more storms than usual back in my childhood there were fewer storms, I’m also gonna build my own shelter at least and even have my own solar panels.

Food Tech

My partner tamati and I made some "perfectly cooked" Hot cakes in food tech today. It was a short and simple lesson.

Social Studies

Today in social studies I learned 2 new concepts and they were Globalization and Modernisation. The first concept, Globalization means the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. For example, our school meeting and learning from other schools. The second and last concept, Modernisation means The procedure of trying to adapt something to a modern state. For e.g, Old devices trying to keep up with the new modern products.

Anzac Day

Anzac Day, 25th of April is the day of remembrance for the fallen of all wars, but specifically, it commemorates the day Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) landed at Gallipoli in 1915. On this date at 5am or 6 around the Auckland region, the Anzac dawn services commence honoring the fallen soldiers from NZ and Australia that landed in Gallipoli, Turkey. They wear red poppies because the Gallipoli battlefront was covered in poppies and the red color of the poppies represents the blood of the fallen. 

Lest We Forget 

  

Earthquakes

 Tectonic Plates, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes

According to the theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet.

Its surface is composed of many individual plates that move and interact, constantly changing and reshaping Earth's outer layer.

Volcanoes and earthquakes both result from the movement of tectonic plates

1. What is Earthquake? An earthquake is the shaking and vibration of the Earth's crust. They are some of the most powerful natural disasters on earth and a single earthquake can cause billions in damage and cause extensive loss of life.
2. What causes Earthquake? Due to movement of the Earth's plates. They move apart from each other and in other places, they move together. These movements are felt on the surface and they vary in size. Most are too small to be felt by humans and are measured using a sensitive machine called a seismometer. Some earthquakes are large and can cause extensive damage to property and loss of life.
3. How is the power of Earthquake measured? An earthquake's power is measured on the Richter scale using an instrument called a seismometer. It plots these vibrations on a seismograph. The strength, or magnitude, of an earthquake, is measured using the Richter scale. The Richter scale is numbered 0-10.
4. How do you measure the strength of an Earthquake? A seismometer detects the vibrations caused by an earthquake. It is a measure of the largest seismic wave recorded on a particular kind of seismograph located 100 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake.
5. List some of the effects of Earthquakes. Earthquakes can destroy houses and kill a lot of people. Aftershocks can cause even more damage to the area. People can be killed or injured. Home’s may be destroyed. Transport and communication links can be disrupted. Water pipes may burst and water supplies might be contaminated. The cost of rebuilding a settlement is high. Investment in the area may be focused only on repairing the damage caused by the earthquake. Money could be lost.

What are the factors that affect the impact of an earthquake? The more densely populated an area, the more likely there are to be deaths and casualties. Time of day influences whether people are in their homes, at work or traveling. A severe earthquake at rush hour in a densely populated urban area could have devastating effects.The time of year and climate will influence survival rates and the rate at which disease can spread.

Reduction Printmaking

This my Reduction print I did in art.

Made In Taiwan Summary

Nathan and Oscar. Two normal men curious about finding about where they originated from. They started with Nathan. Canoeing to where his Parents were. They were welcomed into a marae. After all the talking, meeting and greeting, Nathan told his parents he had something to show them. He pulled out the envelope and showed his parents who they originated from. Nathan’s dad was a descendant from Maui and his mother, who everyone thought was from England was really from America. Next stop Rarotonga. This is where Nathans ancestors were before they arrived in New Zealand. The Cook Island people share similar hospitality to maori’s. He got to meet some of the people he was related to. Now off to Samoa to meet Oscars family and find out where he descended from. Like Oscar, Nathan had connections too. Some people there had the same clan father as him. Oscar finds out he is a direct descendant from Ina. Possibly the name people gave to the first polynesian women according to what oscar said. Turns out they’re from Asia. Onto Vanuatu.As Nathan said, the people from lapita had landed here 3000 years ago, where their pottery has been found in Samoa and Tonga. They went to this archeological dig with all these skeletons lying everywhere. The people that work there have never found a skull with the rest of the body. Last stop Taiwan. They have similar similarities with the maori and polynesian cultures. But yeah after this they find out how and where their ancestors were before arriving in Samoa and New Zealand. Lastly I’d like to say that I think this trip was worth it I mean finding where you’re from or who you’re descendant of is really interesting, especially when your from like Taiwan or somewhere around Asia.
