So since yesterday, we had to do a book review and answer some questions about the book, my book is Boy by Roald Dahl, and here are the questions

1.The title and the author of your book. Boy - Roald Dahl

2.Why you selected the novel? I selected the novel because I am a big fan of Roald Dahl and I thought that it would be best if I read a book from him because I read all of his other books and they're pretty interesting so I thought reading Boy would be good.

3.What did you think about it overall? I think that Boy was a very interesting book I really enjoyed reading about his childhood and everything that had happened to him in his life.

4.What was your favorite part? I liked the part where Roald Dahl put a dead mouse in the loli jar it was a funny part

5.Who were the characters? Roald Dahl, his family, his friends, his school.

6.Would recommend this book and who do you think would enjoy it? I think my little sister Jade would enjoy Boy because I know she loves reading books.

Why LGBTQ+ people should be included. Speech

 Hi Everyone,

throughout the past 3-4 weeks in hurumanu 4, we have been working on speeches and I want to share my speech with you so please I hope it is quite interesting and I really hope that will affect our future and here it is...............

Hello everyone I’m Harmony and I’m going to tell you why Lgbtq+ people should be included with every one. Don’t you ever think about if  Lgbtq+ was included that some of them wouldn’t be so scared to come out to everyone else?
 
I think that we should include the Lgbtq+ community with all of us because it also makes it fair. I think that some people may not like the LGBTQ people and may bully or hurt them more than any others just because of how they gender identify. 
I think that if we can get more LGBTQ people to interact with others we could maybe get some people to like the LGBTQ people because then no one feels left out some of the time. 
I think that also if we get some Lgbtq+ people to become friends with other people outside of their circle it would make our community more friendly.
Thank you for listening to what I have to say I hope this will affect our future.

Gymnastics - Term 4

Hi Everyone,

For the last set of weeks, we have been doing gymnastics and I wanna show you some of them and what they mean and I will also show you what I learned from what I had done in gymnastics it was really fun I wanna do it again and I am but it's funnier when you're with someone to do it because if you do it alone and you get hurt no one is around to help.

Trampoline

Beam

Parallel Bars

Bars

Floor / Mat

Mini Trampoline

so the first one is a trampoline where you jump and do a flip.

The beam is a long set of wood or any other material and you stand on it and you walk across it and do some tricks on it.

The Parallel Bars are where two sets of bars are next to you and your swing on them and hold on to them and do front flips.

The Bar is a bar that hangs in front of you and your swing on it and you spin up and down on it.

The Floor / Mat is a floor with a mat and you do handstands, headstands, cartwheels, and many more

The Mini Trampoline is where you run up jump and then you try and do a flip when you land on a mat.

I learned that if you try your hardest and try to do the activity it makes it more fun

Boy Roald Dahl Questions

 Hola Everyone,

Today in my reading class I have been told to answer some questions from my slides on my reading group and here is the questions made by my awesome teacher Miss Birtch so lets get started on those awesome questions 

What have you learned so far about life in the 1920s-1930s from reading this book? Give examples specifically about how things were different or similar. 

In the 1920s Roald Dahl had just turned three and his sister had just died from appendicitis and he had just gone to a new school made a few new friends and lost some friends he got a really bad experience on his headmaster realized that it's better to deal with school than going home on a bad note.

If you were going to write an autobiography about your life, what would be some main events that you would include? What has made a big impact on your life

That I had gone to many schools met a lot of new friends and got a lot of experience within schools and gone to the dentist for the very first time it would have been very exciting if I hadn't gotten a blade in my mouth.

Have you read any other Roald Dahl books? Which ones? Compare the stories; which one have you liked better and why? If not, have you read David Walliams? Do you notice anything similar between the two author’s writing styles?

I have read a lot of Roald Dahl books I've at least read all of them and I like the BFG and I have read David Walliams books I don't think they have any similar between them.

Gymnastics

 Hai!!!!!

Today in P.E I did the hula hooping and It was fun but it hurt so I used it around my head and my arm and how to use it on your waist is put it on your waist you twirl it around and while the hula hoop is moving around your waist you move your waist in circles around.

Boy Roald Dahl

 Buenos Tardes Everyone,

In my reading class we have been choosing a book and we did a chosen selection on what we were going to read about and here is what I wrote

I predict the book will be about…. his childhood and how his life was before and its about the hard compilations of what had happened before the time when he was a author and what he learned and how hard his life was

What impression do you get from the front cover? The impression I get from the book and that is his life for when he was a little kid and how his life changed over the years on what had happened to him like his car accident.

Hurumanu 6
Name: Harmonye	Teachers: (Bh)			Term	2020
Reflection: Give at least three examples in each of the boxes below.
What We Did:   Car Shopping  Sodium (Salt) Healthy Sleep
What I Learned:   I learned that Car Shopping is very hard and you should think hard before you make that decision.  I learned that you can’t have that much Sodium(Salt) otherwise you can get terrible diseases like Kidney Disease (etc). I learned that you need sleep to do things in the day.
My Favourite Part:  I loved it when we shared are slideshows to the class  I loved it when we learned about the Sodium(Salt) because we got to do activities I loved it when we learned about Healthy Sleep because I learned that we need a lot of sleep to survive.
My Next Steps:  To not talk in class to my friends.  To focus instead of being on my Chromebook. To listen to the teacher the first time.
CARR Values:  Make a statement below describing how you showed each of our CARR values during this Hurumanu.
Commitment I committed when I did the Car Shopping Presentation.		Achievement I achieved more information about more health
Resilience I was resilient when Miss Birtch didn’t call out my name.		Respect I respected my teacher when she/he was talking
Any other comments I loved Hurumanu 6 a lot I hope to do it again.

The things we did in Hurumanu 6 are 

Car Shopping

Hurumanu 6 Healthy Lifestyle

Como Estas,

(How Are You)

Today we have been learning about things we can control in life, like Covid-19 and pandemics some of us can't control what happens in our lives. We are learning how to understand them  I just wanna show you some of the examples and show you how to control them. If you have any because it is very hard to control it and sometimes it gets really hard and you get really overwhelmed. I know how it feels to have these set of symptoms I have mostly some of them down below. Know on to the rest of my blog post so let's get started on those examples I am writing really long is because I have to put in 6 to 8 paragraphs and I hope I did it well cause it took a long time to write all of this.

Anxiety-Anxiety is caused by stress that has been tensed up over and over mostly 1,000 people get Anxiety by multiple stress that has happened.

Control: You can just breathe and think of something happy like good things that are happening at the moment or something that has already happened

Depression-Depression is caused by mixed-up feelings and a lot of people get depression and if you have depression it causes. Negative Self Talk and Panic Attacks I am deeply sorry I know that there is a lot of other symptoms to Depression and Anxiety

Control:A lot of people do negative self talk a lot some people do stuff wrong and think that its all on them and that they are the ones in trouble and then there's when your heart feels really sore and that's ok to feel that because its just you feeling guilty for yourself and sometimes you just feel like you wanna die and that's when self-harm comes up but that's for another blog post to talk about.

Panic Attack-Panic Attacks are caused by stress and worrying on in the future panic attacks may let you think something bad is gonna happen or you just become scared panic attacks aren't just made by anxiety its also made out of depression and it gives you heart diseases over one million people including (Adults, Children, Teenagers) have heart diseases because of a panic attack because when you have a panic attack some panic attacks slow down your heartbeat and you can barely breathe and that's why some people need to control

The Invasion of Parihaka

 Como Estas,

(How Are You)

In my reading class, we have been learning about Maori history and we have been answering some questions and I really wanna show you them so here you go

Where is Parihaka located? Parihaka is a community in the Taranaki Region of New Zealand, located between Mount Taranaki and the Tasman Sea mostly there is mostly sea and water there

Fact card 1 includes a metaphor-What is it: Say if someones being mean to you to not be mean in return say if they come to hurt you do not hurt in return otherwise the rest of your tribe will suffer the pain because of the harm you have occurred.

Fact Card 1 Metaphor: "For if the Pakeha come to smite you do not smite in return"-Te Whiti

Explain the metaphor in your own words, what does it mean? I think it means to me if the Pakeha come to kill you don't kill back. As in like if someone comes to shoot you do not shoot in return otherwise bad things will happen like Karma and because of you shooting them back in return they might come and steal your land.

When did the Invasion of Parihaka occur?5 November 1881 About 1600 troops invaded the western Taranaki settlement of Parihaka, which had come to symbolize peaceful resistance to the confiscation of Maori land/ Found in the mid-1860s, Parihaka was soon attracting dispossessed and disillusioned.

Summarise fact card 3 in your own words. I think it means that the Maori were happy with there land and with others and then the crown came in and stole the land and some of the Maori's died and some went to jail and it was terrifying and the Parihaka was found in the Mountains the crown found it out and then they took away all the Maori's.

How do you think the people of Parihaka were feeling when the troops entered their village? They were scared some were mad  some went to fight with them and some died and some went to jail for trying to stop them from them taking away their land.

Why do you think John Bryce wanted to keep journalists away from Parihaka when the invasion was taking place? I think the reason is that if he had shown them they would be in more trouble for reading and the invasion would've of lasted longer for about our time like now.

Thank you for reading my blog post. Please leave me some feedback.

Mars Rover

Como Estas,

(How Are You)

Today and Yesterday and last week we have been learning about Mars and Peservanrce and we have been researching most of the information about it and I just wanna give you some of the information I have gathered

Perseverance:

1. Perseverance is like sticking to a plan say if you are in a real nerve recking situation and you make multiple decisions and you just stick to one plan to make it really easy.

2. Perseverance is like being persistent, persistence is were a fact of continuing in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
3. Perseverance is like being stubbornness being stubborn is like were someone wants you to do something and you don't wanna do it and it takes up there time to get you to do something.

Mars Rover: 

1. A person who spends time wondering a Mars Rover is something you can use to move from location to location and it makes it easier to cover some ground then just walking with your two feet and it is easy to find materials

2. A marked location say if your on an island/planet and you wanna go somewhere to explore and you find someplace in the map or any other device you can use to find a location and you mark it then you can go to that location

3. Planetary surface exploration device a planetary surface exploration device is a rover or a planetary rover is like a planetary surface exploration device designed to move across the solid surface on a planet or other planetary-mass celestial bodies There are essential tools in space exploration.

Launch:

1. A start or set in motion say you are at the finish line and the commentator say "3 2 1 GO!" is like a starter set in motion and if your set to go to Mars it is very hard to find an easy small flat set of the platform to land on otherwise you could set Mars on fire but there would not be any fires started on Mars because there is barely any gravity.

2.An act or instance of launching say you are on Mars and you're coming back down to Mars and your have an instance of launching and it the ship stops working it's really hard to find the spot that stopped the ship from launching.

3. Moving from a different location, moving from a different location is like saying you are at one location like your ship and you move to a 50-meter distance from your first location which is your ship and you are asked to move from your location.

Mars:

1. Impair the quality or appearance of spoil.

2. On Mars the sun appears bigger then Earths Sun

3. Mars is made out of primarily of silicon-oxygen iron and magnesium and probably has the consistency of soft rocky paste

We were mostly learning about Perseverance and the Mars Rover so yeah it has taken me longer to finish this but I hope you liked it

Getting Enough Sleep Questions!

Buenos Dias Everyone,

This week we are still on healthy lifestyles but instead of eating healthy, its helping teenagers sleep better it is better to go to school on a full tank set of energy instead of coming to school really tired and fall asleep when the teacher is talking!

So my awesome teacher Miss Birtch (Bh) has asked of us to answer some questions on our slides on our Hurumanu site and I think it is to help some teenagers sleep better because if you don't get better at sleeping it can lead to a terrible disasters

so let's get started on those questions

1:What time do you wake up to get to school? 6:15

2:What time do you go to sleep on average?10:30

3:Quality of Sleep: List four ways you can help your body get a quality night's sleep(Most of this happens before bedtime)

1. Go to bed early
2. Drink milk before you go to bed

3. Don't eat around 1-2 hours before you go to bed

4. Read a book

4:In your own words, why do you think it is important to get good sleep each night? How do you think this will help you at school?

The reason why I think it is important to get a good sleep at night is that: If you don't get a good sleep is you can't focus on your schoolwork because your so tired you keep forgetting about what you're supposed to be doing.

Thank you for reading my blog post. Please leave me some feedback 

And if you're a teenager like me I suggest you go to bed and 7:30 PM and wake up at 7:25 AM so you can get to school early.

Buenos Dias Everyone,

It is the first week and two days in I am so happy to be back with my friends but back to the blog post today and a bit of yesterday we did some science we were learning a bit of Mars a bit like Term 1 if I made a post about Mars in Term 1 so i'm supposed to answer some questions so lets get started

When can a mission to Mars (Or from Mars) Happen? Why? I strongly suggest you can go to Mars IF your a professional astronaut but if you did not have and lessons on what to do when your in space you should be aloud to legally.

What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars? Using the machine NASA made MOXIE it uses electricity to split Carbon Dioxide into Carbon Monoxide and oxygen.

If it doesn't rain on Mars, Where does the water come from?A tiny amount of water flows on the planets surface.

How will people get food on Mars? What is the possible solution? I suggest that you could grow crops if you use most of the right ingredients.

Thank you for reading my blog post. Please leave me some feedback.
