Tech Goal

I have finished my technology goal it was to make a light that will stay on for a period of time and that will be able to turn on in a power outage and stay on in the rain and be durable.



I think I have accomplished this.

Rata And The Totara

Rata And The Totara

One day in a village near the big totara tree. Rata’s mother told him that he must go and make a waka out of the great totara tree and find out about his father’s murder. Early the next morning he went to chop down the totara tree he finished and it was late and he decided to carve it out the next day. When Rata had gone home the birds and insects put it back together. When Rata went back the next day he was annoyed and angry that he had to chop it down again this happened the next night aswell but he had started to carve out the waka the birds fixed the great totara once again he started to cut down the tree once more when it got too dark to continue he hid behind a bush to see what happened and sure enough the birds and insects came out Rata demanded an explanation they told him that he had not asked permission from tanemahuta to cut it down Rata asked him and the forest went silent he thanked tanemahuta and said to the birds and insects I will do it tomorrow they insisted that they would do it for him when Rata woke he saw a beautifully carved waka then he set off on his journey. Tiakina nga manu, ka ora te ngahere. Ka ora te ngahere, ka ora nga manu. Look after the birds and the forest flourishes. If the flourishes, the birds flourish.

High Expectations

High Expectations

        

I’ll never forget the time, I was 5 turning 6 I was cute and little, my life had only begun. My first few weeks at Lucknow school were fun it was two o’clock in the afternoon on a wednesday which meant it was art time.

My teacher Mrs Bookhaust, was talking I could barely hear her, my thoughts were drowning her out. I was thinking about what I was going to draw then it hit me.

Mrs Bookhaust wandered around the room giving out pieces of paper they were A3 size sheets of paper, They smelt of bleach. Then Mrs Bookhaust came around again this time she was handing out newspaper, then she came round for the third and final time giving us each a sharpie to draw with.

This time my ears were tuned in whakarongo mai the teacher said, which means listen up it’s how she got our attention. She shouted so everyone could hear her,  we needed to get an apron from the cupboard. I quickly tiptoed over and picked out a red apron to wear it smelt of paint and felt as hard as crayons but it would do besides I was only 5 not that I cared about my appearance very much then. I jolted across the room back to my seat to sit down.

I plunked down into my chair it was as hard as rock. I picked up my sharpie and struggled to pull off the lid, then I moved the sharpie so that the tip of it was face down touching the paper. I moved it up down side to side all around and down again.

“Beautiful” I exclaimed so proud of my artwork that I went to show Mrs Bookhaust she whispered “darling why did you draw a scribble”. My heart sunk I was so upset how could she not see I felt embarrassed and upset that she couldn’t tell what my drawing was.

Then I took a deep breath and said “it was a ballerina” “Oh of course silly me” she said “it is a ballerina”

I smiled my genuine smile. “Do you like it” I said “it’s for you” I gleefully exclaimed

“I love it” she said I felt a warmth suddenly enter me my heart reinflated my belief was brought back to life and a sense of pride entered me.

The water cycle

The Water Cycle

I am going to explain to you how our water cycle works. There are different parts of the water cycle that do different things to the water.

Water can be from anywhere it all goes through the water cycle. The water can come from the sea, streams, rivers and lakes.  

The water starts to warm up because of the rays of sun that then causes it to evaporate evaporation is when the water turns into steam. The steam fog or mist then goes to the clouds.

There is also transpiration which is where the moisture from plants goes to the sky and up into the clouds it basically sucks them dry.  

After the water has gone to the clouds it sits there and condensates. Condensation is when the steam fog or mist turns into a liquid known as h2o or water.

Then the h2o or water can come down in multiple forms. The forms are: rain, sleet, snow and hail. This is called precipitation.

This repeats forever, it has already been happening for trillions of years without people knowing. Just because you can't see it dosen't mean it isn't happening this is how the water cycle works and will be the way it works for years to come.      

Here is a cool link to a song we listened to in class we think it's really funny it teaches you about the water cycle.
