Waitangi Day

The Treaty of Waitangi

3 facts about The Treaty of Waitangi                       

- The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840 at Karaka Bay, Auckland.                                                            - Hone Heke & Captain William Hobson signed the Treaty first.                                                                      - The Treaty was created in English then was translated in Maori.

3 different point of views:           

Maori Perspective is Positive. They say that Waitangi Day brings people together as well as being filled with joy & laughter. This allows people to fellowship, socialise & acknowlege their past ancestors & chiefs who came to a conclusion to make an agreement with the British Empire. 

Pakeha Perspective is Negative. Mike thinks that Waitangi Day is a waste of time and says that there is no point in celebrating. This is because it is filled with abuse, anger and ignorants. In other words, Mike also said that if he became Prime Minister that he would be tempted to flag Waitangi Day.

My Perspective is Positive. I think that Waitangi Day is not a waste of time and should be acknowleged throughout New Zealand. This is especially because New Zealand is not our land as this land was orginially owned by the people of Aotearoa. This means that students should be educated about this day & be taught more information about it. 

Why is it important to learn about the Treaty?                                                                               Waitangi Day should be celebrated because this is an important day for the people of Aotearoa. This should not be taken lightly as Waitangi Day was the day that Maori Chiefs & British empire came to an agreement about taking care of Aotearoa for the future generations to come.

Changing Improper Fractions to Mixed fractions !

Kia ora Blogger, I hope you all are safe and covid-free. 

Today, I wasn't able to join the online call due to difficulties but I managed to complete every online school tasks. One of the tasks I learnt today is how to change improper fractions to Mixed fractions !

Let me quickly teach you how to do it, I found my own way that helped me by knowing my times table instead of using paper and drawing the amount of circles, squares and more. 

To be honest, I have a better understanding than I had last time.

so lets start with the first question: 7/3 

3x2 = 6 ( It is the closes to 7)  now as you can see there is 1 left in 6 to make 7. Now its 2 1/3. 

I apologise if my explanation is not good but they're are many ways to work out mixed fractions :)

Thank you for viewing my blog !

Chop Suey - Technology

Today my group & I made chop suey but a healthier version, to be honest I think the healthier version tasted much better! I really liked the food and enjoyed making it with my partner. Cooking teaches me different techniques, skills & teaches me to try new food and to alter my ingredients. It also teaches me the importance of cooking, cooking is not only fun but we must be careful for hazards and many more. We have one more week of cooking then we rotate, cooking has been very fun and has given me many amazing opportunities. 

Thank you for viewing my blog !                                                                                                                              Don't forget to leave a thoughtful comment !

Earth Science Form

 This semester my year level & I have moved onto a new subject, our last subject was pacific & native plants our new topic for this semester is Earth Science. I find earth science interesting as we learn the layers of the earth, the movement of the earth (Tectonic plates) in which I find most interesting  and the disasters that occur such as lava, volcanoes & more.

New Zealand Olympics

 

Tokyo Olympics 2020 has been very interesting and very successful. 

Because of COVID-19, the organisers were very cautious . They used with cardbox beds, isolated rooms and separate eating areas. They use cardboard boxes as beds so they can re-use it for good purposes.

It's pretty amazing on how they postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympics to 2021 as this is the first time they postponed Olympics it also comes to my shock that Laura Hubbards was the first to be able to compete transgender in the Olympics. Due to covid and many reasons to keep the Olympics successful they couldn't have spectators as it only allowed participants, referees and coaches.
