The Difficulties of making a treaty.

 The difficulty of creating a treaty is 9 out of 10. The reasons below explains what happened when my class tried to make a treaty.

Within my class there approximately 20 people engaged into making a class treaty. A treaty must include: oreamble, first article, second artifcle, and third article. A preamble is an introduction to the treaty. A first article has the power of the teacher. The second article explains the behaviour and attitude within the classroom. Lastly, the third article is the freedom of students. On friday the 29th of October, the first meeting was called upon the class. In that meeting a preamable was done but but lots of agrument was needed. Some students made some personal affairs with each other and some were just standing by whilst other couraging the fight. We all decided that we should have a writer, however they were not a lot of people listening and not cooporation. Some people didn't even get a say in the meeting. With that said, it is very difficult to make a treaty with a class but it can be manageable if everyone is cooperating.

Knowing My Plaze (Prezi)

 This Prezi is a brief introduction of what Christchurch is like and some cities/landmarks in the region. It includes the history of cities and the significants/importance of each landmarks.

After doing this research I have gained some new information about the history of Hornby HIgh school and the land around Christchurch, The most interesting thing that I found is many landmarks has its own significant importance around its place. For instance the castle rebellion of 1804 was Australian's first uprising. They should add a question about how the land is formed and the indiginous people.

21st Century Work

 Introduction:

Have you ever stumbled upon a question that really makes you think. There’s that one question that has been caged in within my brain. How has technology changed the society of the human world? Technologies in the old days have been enhanced to make our lives better. WIthout these advancements we would be living the same day over and over again. For instance, cars, trains, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have alarmingly improved. Without the past we could’ve not made the advancements of technologies we have today. 


Paragraph: 1

Technology has changed the world, society, humanity, and the environment. One of the latest cars from t (released for buyers in 2019)which has 460 horsepower and can go from 0 to 96 kmph in just under 3 seconds. The highest speed it can go is 296 kmph. Cars from the past are like a pebble towards the cars we have today. One of the cars we had in the past is a Winton carabout (released for buyers in 1920), which only has 8 horsepower, and can only go to 53 kmph. The advancing technology we have today has made people's lives more easier and more productive making the future of Earth more comfortable and calming.


Paragraph: 2

The intellectual people we have today are great innovators. For example, they have created a car that can drive itself. The self driving cars are one of the safest cars you can get. The self-driving cars were created in European Union which was invented 1958. Self driving cars today aren’t available, however, some cars  have autopilots. The Tesla autopilot system is one of the closest we have to a legal self driving car. Another great example of a self driving vehicle is the Christchurch driverless electric shuttle. It hasn’t made any problems about hitting any people and any other problems. Most of the self driving cars today are illegal. If self driving cars become legal, the millions of deaths by being hit by a car would be reduced. The people we have today are really advancing our technology where we could just be calm and not worry about danger.


Conclusion:

In conclusion, I believe that technologies make the lives of human beings more easier, comfortable and productive. With the advancing technologies that we have today, we could predict that our future would be much better. We could also predict many new inventions in the near future that symbolises a robotic kind of tech. However, with the materials needed for new inventions we need to sustain our environment. The people from the future would also know this problem and probably solve it before the problem happens. The intellectuality of people today will make humanity’ life better in the future.

Lawyer's Paragraph 2

(Plan)
Key idea - What are some examples of addiction on cellhpones?
What must you achive - Persuading the reader to not use their phones a lot.
In this paragraph I am trying to show/prove/explain that.
Infomrative
Key information you want to include.
1, How technology affect students.
2, How technology change students from the past and then now.
3, Consequences of technology towards students.
Delivery
Best paragraph structure to convey all this is.

Paragraph question:
Are students addicted to their cellphones?
If so, is that a problem?

Yes, some scientists has researched that some students who spend a long time on their phones has similar brains to drugged adults. It is a problem for most parents. Parenting this kind of child would be a havoc and would cause a problem towards family bonding time. According to the website  PsychGuides.com, the human brain isn't finished devoloping until around the age of 25 years old. Meaning, if the brain is interfered by the blue rays of a phone it could have negative implications on brain devolopment. Overall, teenagers should not be spending a lot of time towards a cellphone.

Lawyer's Paragraph


Technology has made our lives better in many waysThe upgrade in terms of technology has allowed us to live easier and economically. For instance, the existence of mobile phones made business easier by reminding us when/where/what kind of business we have. Computers has helped us do more economical written work and has helped students learn quickly. Lastly, a calculator has been improvised into a small sized object, making it easier to calculate numbers unlike the past. These 3 reasons are the most common reasons why the improvement of technology has improved our lives.

Matariki poster


This poster took about 3 periods to do, our class first did some research on Matariki as our teacher leading it. We all picked our chosen holidady to change for Matariki, so I chose the Day after New Year's day since it's basically has no other meaning behind it. After some research I made this poster as the result!

Syrian Refugee Assesment.



1. What went well and why? 
- Many things wen't well, cause having your text raedy for your presentation is quite handy. You can just copy and paste it onto your presentation since you've already created the sentences needed.

2. What didn’t go so well and why?
- I had forgotten some informations and examples that I needed to put. One's sentence is unclear if the information is not true.


3 If you were to do this again what would you do differently and why?
- I would add reasons and add examples for the topic. More descriptive/emotive language.

Work from home - Week 4 - (Oscar and Nate DNA adventure)

 Made in Taiwan

Oscar and Nathan’s excellent adventure


The programme traces the tradition made by Oscar and Nate to find where their ancestors migrated from.  Nate is from New Zealand and Oscar is from Samoa .  Oscar and Nate used DNA to show who their ancestors were who journeyed across the Pacific. Scientists at Oxford University use genes to identify a person’s clan mother and father.  The Polynesians who navigated their way across the Pacific used Stars to navigate by; Oscar and Nate are using their DNAto go backwards in time. 

Nate’s family are from Mahia on the east coast of New Zealand’s north island and he went back there to open the results from the DNA test, where they were shared onto the marae.  According to the scientists, Nate’s clan mother was from East Eurasia and America (not from England as she thought).  Nate’s father is Maori.  

The next stop on their journey was 3000 km away in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.  According to the scientists who study DNA, three-quarters of Maori and Cook Islanders trace the same ancestry.  Oscar and Nate went to the spot from where, according to local, Sacred waka like the takitimu set out to New Zealand some 700 years ago.  The languages between the two cultures are very similar and Oscar says that it is just like having an older brother. Their “origin” stories – how they explain where they came from - are very similar too.  

Arriving in Samoa it was Oscar’s turn to open his envelope revealing his DNA results.  His family appeared nervous, unsure of what the science would show.  Samoans can Pacific their ancestry back 12,000 years.   

On the next leg of their journey the pair arrived in Vanuatu and found another means of tracing the routes of their migration:resemblances.  The Lapita peoples journeyed across the Pacific thousands of years ago, leaving behind the pottery which they made.  The pottery showed that the lapita people transferred their tattooing skills to pottery.  Carbon dating allows scientists to accurately date when the pottery was made.  An archaeological dig showed that skeletons were well preserved in their graves.  For Oscar and Nate, the dig seemed tapu (welcomed) but for the people of Vanuatu excavating the graves is a way of understanding their history.

The last stage in their journey took them to Taiwan.  Again they were amazed at how similar they looked in appearance to the indigenous coastal people of Taiwan, like Niwa who showed them around.  In a museum dedicated to pre-history, Oscar and Nate could see the patterns between the people, for examples in the facial moku.  Even some of the words used were similar.  The yam, taro and coconut all came from here and were taken across the Pacific by early voyagers.  Taiwan was the beginning of their journey story.

What is the difference between secondary and primary resources?
Primary resources is what you use first into a topic whereas the secondary resources are second hand.

Answering the questions:

Why did this young mom migrate to Newzealand and how?

Her life in the Philippines was harsh. She was born in a poor family, although being born in a poor family didn’t stop her from being able to migrate to Newzealand. Many people might think she left the country because of the minor places, poverty, crimes and corrupt government. In my opinion she left the country to have the opportunity to restart a new life and give her children the opportunities she didn’t have while she was young.

How can such a poor person be able to go to another country? She worked really hard knowing that she has a son to feed. Being hungry was bearable to her but seeing her son wanting food was unbearable. After a few days she got herself a job to maintain their lifestyle. After many thoughts she came back to school. Even if it was for a short amount of time it was enough for her to get into a better job. One day her work meets applied to get a visa stamp and she was the only one who got confirmed. It started as a joke but she went after cheerful cheers. She flew to Newzealand and saw the country’s beautiful aspects. She knew she wanted to stay but she had to get a working visa. After 5 years of working in the Philippines she finally got her working visa.
