Reading Task

Reading task

for the past weeks, we've been reading stories about Maori culture and learning about the history of The Treaty of Waitangi and what happened between the Maori and the Europeans. Then we learned about Mahinga Kai and what was happening before the Europeans came and long before Modern Supermarkets were built. Then we read about Nanny Peka which tells us what some of the healing Plants like the kawakawa, Koromiko and Ririma.

Overall the stories we read are.
- The Treaty of Waitangi.
- Mahinga Kai.
- Nanny Peka.


We also learned about a specific word called " Whatauki ". There are different meanings to the word like love, respect and leadership. But in my opinion, I think it means sharing the love those around you.


Here is a slide of my work in Mahinga kai and Nanny Peka ==>

I really enjoyed reading a lot of these stories especially The Treaty of Waitangi, it's very interesting learning about New Zealand's history since I am a Filipino myself.

Hornby Athletics day

Hornby Athletics day

Yesterday was Hornby High's Athletics day.
I didn't participate in athletics day since I was absent.

CARR Values were clearly demonstrated by other students in the school by trying their best and participating in Athletics day even if they don't want to do a particular sport.

I did not demonstrate the CARR Values by not coming to school on Athletics Day.
I wasn't particularly proud of anything I did.

Next year I will definitely participate in Athletics day and try my best!. 
and maybe there will be a particular sport that I would like to do.

CARR Values.
These Values are very important in HHS.

- Commitment -means your committing to a goal and never giving up and giving your best.
-Achievement - means you have achieved something that you are proud of.
-Respect - showing respect to other people even if you don't know them.

The History Of New Zealand

The History Of New Zealand

Hi! My name is Zoe. Today I will be talking about The History of New Zealand and the history of how the Maori People found New Zealand.

So It all started with the Eastern Polynesians Sailing across South East Asia, They even made it to South America. They stumbled across an Island and agreed to settle there for a short time. The founders of New Zealand who first arrive Was a man called Kupe and his wife, They Arrived in New Zealand accidentally by chasing an octopus that was stealing their fish. They also Used Waka's(Canoes) to get to New Zealand. 

James Cook was the first person to see the island and Named it New Zealand after the long white cloud but Kupe's wife was the person who named it Aotearoa which means in English New Zealand.

The Polynesians couldn't leave New Zealand due to Strong Winds that would push them back to the Land So they were technically stuck in New Zealand.

The Polynesians brought Crops to New Zealand but it was too cold to plant them. Eventually, they became Moriori. They first hunted fishes for food, then eventually hunted birds for food, one of the birds they hunted was called the Moa, The Moa was a flightless native bird but sadly are now Extinct due to causes. The Moa only laid around 1-3 eggs each year which made it hard for them to survive. 

They eventually settled into places where they could farm their crops where it wasn't too cold nor hot and so they could protect themselves. People say that the Moriori and the Maori People are the same by DNA, Skeletal Evidence and by Language.

As you can see from these sentences that the history of New Zealand is very fascinating to learn about it and there are also some interesting facts about the Polynesians and other facts about New Zealand.

Hurumanu Maths Reflection.

Hurumanu Maths Reflection.

For the past weeks since school started. This Hurumanu is about Health and Maths. This blog post is a reflection of what we did for the past weeks. What we learned in Maths are Tellicharts, Frequenycarts, and BarGraphs. 

For the Tellicharts, We counted the different colored cars that we saw on the road outside, to see what was the most common car we could see. The different colored cars we saw were, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Silver, White and other(Black, Gold, etc.) Of course White was the commonest car we could see and we found approximately 61 White Cars.

 For the Frequency Chart, we just counted all the colored cars that we saw and added them all together.

For the Bargraphs we explained what is needed to make a Bargraph, For example, The needed things to make a Bargraph are Title, Labels, Measurements, Keys and how many numbers does that object have, for example, Favorite Color, Colors, of cars, Etc).

I really enjoyed doing Maths in this Hurumanu It was super fun and I got to learn a lot of things. Please give me feedback on what I should improve on.
