Social Studies: My Pepeha

What is Mana? Mana means resonance or prestige, honour, presence, charisma, and spiritual power. 

What is Tapu? Tapu is defined as ‘sacred’ or ‘spiritual restrictions’, Tapu contains a lot of strong prohibitions or rules.

What is Utu? Utu betokens as compensation, retaliation, vengeance. 

How could these values conflict with Europeans? In my opinion, it’s because they are not fond of those values, nor believe in them as something important. 

How were these values different to European values? Europeans who settled in New Zealand were Christians, and believe the bible. They are different because they have different interpretations, and different Gods, beliefs and religions. 

Science: DNA Extraction Experiment

 In our lesson in Science, we did an experiment about our topic, which was "Genetics and Evolution". Our experiment is about extracting DNA from fruit. 

Equipment: 

• kiwi fruit or strawberry
• beaker
• stirring rod / or a stick
• ziplock bag
• detergent
• salt
• rubbing alcohol
• filtering paper
• water

Method:

1. After peeling the skin, mash the fruit in a ziplock bag until it's squishy and wet. 

2. Filter the mashed fruit in a beaker through a filtering paper until the juices are gone. 

3. Put a pinch of salt and liquid detergent and water with the mashed fruit in a beaker and stir it with a stick or stirring rod. 

4. After stringing the mixture, pour rubbing alcohol on the mixture and try not to move it around too much. 

5. After waiting for a couple of seconds, a slimy like texture will appear, with a stick scoop that slimy liquid out and that's it. 

Burger Competition

Last week, Friday, we had a burger competition where we compete with other groups and have our own burger recipes. 

Evaluation: 

1. How does colour enhance the overall effects of our burgers? The colours are an important part of our burger because it determines the taste and flavour of our burger. Since colour is often the first element noticed in the appearance of a food product. For example, the colour of our burger; The bun is a brioche bun, it had a shiny appearance and golden brown colour. The pattie was made of chicken and other spices, it was crispy and have a golden appearance. The vegetables gave a pleasant colour, assuming it is fresh because it was all in shades of green. The sauces we used was Japanese mayonnaise and oyster sauce, of course, we can presume that it is a chicken katsu style burger. 

2. How does the texture affect the feel of the burger as you eat it? Texture plays an important role when it comes to food. This is because the texture dictates the quality of the food, as well as its nutrition and aroma. For our burger product, the texture of the buns was soft, it was very delicate. The pattie was crispy, tender, juicy and flavourful. The vegetables were fresh, crunchy and chewy. The sauces were creamy and slippery. 

3. What did the burger taste like? The burger was heavenly and scrumptious. I didn't expect it would taste that good, I thought it would be too spicy because we put chilli powder and flakes to it. The buns were chewy and doughy and warm. The pattie was leguminous and very original. 

Ingredients that enhanced the flavour of the patties were chilli flakes and chilli powder. If we were only to put salt and pepper, the pattie would taste plain but I am really glad that we used chilli powder and chilli flakes because it enhanced the flavour.

Reading Reflection - Wananga

In wananga time, I began reading a comic, technically, it's called a "Manwha". A manwha is a comic or a graphic novel in South Korean style. 

It's called "The Villain's Savior" 

Summary: Set on a path to tragedy and misfortune from a young age, Aseph Randell is doomed to die a villain. That is, until the mysterious Elzay Tiathe appears in his life with a promise: "I can save you." After having vivid visions of him for so long, can Elzay untangle the twisted fate tied to Aseph... or will they both be dragged down together?

Manwha Information: 

Authors: Myeong rang / Jaessun

Genres: Korean , Manhwa , Josei , Drama , Fantasy , Historical , Isekai , Magic , Mystery , Romance , Time Travel

Release status: Completed

Year of Release: 2019

Year of Complete: 2021

Source: https://bato.to/series/76047/the-villain-s-savior

I've only read 2 chapters and I'm already hooked on the story. The beginning was very tragic and had some gruesome scene. From what I've read, the main lead - Aseph- didn't have a very good childhood. His dad was alcoholic and abusive, his mum had another lover, his mum and he was abused by his father. His parents died due to the fire set in their house, luckily, he survived. Aseph was then adopted by another possessive and abusive woman who was rich and powerful. He grew up in her household until one night, he decided he wouldn't cry anymore, he wouldn't beg for mercy, for forgiveness. So he killed his so-called mother.

Corrosion Experiment - Science

 Corrosion Experiment 1 

When metals are exposed to the environment they can deteriorate, or break down. Scientists call this process corrosion. Rust is the term used to describe the corrosion of iron. 

Corrosion Experiment 2

Iron is a relatively cheap metal so it is widely used in industry. Scientists have had to develop ways of protecting iron from rusting. 

Aim 1: To investigate the factors that cause rusting in Iron. 

Aim 2: To investigate a number of techniques that may prevent iron from rusting. 

Equipment needed for both experiments: 

• 8 test tubes
• test tube racks 
• a bung
• 8 iron nails
• boiled water 
• tap water
• salty water
• cooking oil
• calcium chloride
• vaseline
• nail polish
• zinc

Method 1: 

• Iron 
• Iron nail covered in vaseline
• Iron nail painted with nail polish or paint
• Iron nail with a small piece of magnesium ribbon wrapped around it, or with zinc pallets added to the test tube
• Iron nail and tap water
• iron nail and salty water
• Iron nail and boiled water
• Iron nail, boiled water and oil
• Iron nail and calcium chloride sealed with a bung

Method 2:

• Iron - corrosion
• Iron nail covered in vaseline
• Iron nail painted with nail polish or paint
• Iron nail with a small piece of magnesium ribbon wrapped around it, or with zinc pallets added to the test tube
• Iron nail and tap water - corrosion
• iron nail and salty water - corrosion
• Iron nail and boiled water
• Iron nail, boiled water and oil
• Iron nail and calcium chloride sealed with a bung

Actual Experiment Assigned

Conclusion: 

As we can see from the photos, some of the nails rusted and some didn't. 

Experiment A

A corrosion process is seen through the whole nail but only some parts of it rusted, which is surprising because when the iron is exposed to air, it is supposed to corrode. Knowing it's been left in the science lab for a couple of weeks, the whole nail should've been corroded. 

Experiment B

In our second experiment, the nail corroded in the water because when iron touches iron it creates a chemical reaction that causes nails to rust. 

Experiment C

When iron (nail) is in contact with water and oxygen, it corrodes and when salt is present, it tends to rust quickly.

Experiment D

Without water, the oxygen wouldn't be able to perform oxidation (a chemical reaction involving atoms). To prevent rust, we need to add an ingredient, to simplify, we need to prevent H2O from contact with the water and iron. Using oil would be effective as oil and water do not mix.

Experiment E

In the test tube, there is a nail (iron) and calcium chloride inside. To prevent oxygen from getting inside, we used a bung to cover up the test tube. In our observation, the nail didn't rust. 

Experiment F

When iron is covered in vaseline, a petroleum-based mineral that consists of oils and waxes. We put the iron covered in vaseline in the water but it didn't corrode as much as the others. Oil and wax don't mix with water, therefore, it's a good metal lubricant because it prevents rust. 

Experiment G

The nail painted with nail polish corroded in the water.

Experiment H

The nail in the water with zinc corroded. 

Shark Finning - Social Studies

What is a Shark Finning? 

Shark Finning is a horrendous act of cutting the fins of sharks, then discarding the rest back in the ocean. Often, the sharks are still alive, though, for some that are thrown back in the ocean, experience and slow and painful death. 

Effects of Shark Finning

Shark Finning seriously damage the environment and the economy because firstly, shark finning is one of the reasons why the shark population is decreasing, not only that, but shark has low reproductive rates, which means, it makes it difficult for the population to go up. 

Did you know that 88 to 100 million sharks die every year? 

Sharks are at the top of the food chain. The reduction of sharks species can disrupt the entire marine ecosystem. When the shark population decrease, it could cause severe ecological consequences due to the leftover preys. 

Shark Fin Soup 

Shark Fin Soup is a popular Chinese delicacy that people consume during major celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, parties, etc. For instance, when a person eats shark fin soup, their image would be seen as someone who is a higher rank, meaning 'rich' and 'powerful'.

Facts: 

• Shark Finning has decreased by 90 per cent in the last 15 years. 
• Shark Finning is a multi-billion dollar industry and some countries in Asia receives a lot of money, which makes it easier for them to access shark fins.
• Sharks are also killed due to their teeth, jaws, cartilage and liver oil. These parts extracted from the sharks are used for cosmetics, medicine, clothing and skincare products.

Haiku Poem - English

In our lesson in English, we did ou creative writing tasks, I've completed 4 tasks and this is the 5th task. 

What is a "Haiku Poem?" 

Haikyu is a traditional Japanese poem that consists of 3 short lines that do not rhyme with each other. The first line of the 3 can only have 5 syllables and the second line has 7 and the last is 5. 

This is the Haiku poem that I made about the 4 seasons.

Slam Poetry - English

In English, there was one task in creative writing about "Slam Poetry". We had to watch a total of 4 clips and share with others which one we liked the most and why. 

What is Slam Poetry? Slam Poetry is a form of performance with a combination of writing, competition, audience participation, theatre. The poems are judged based on the performance and not necessarily the writing. 

Out of all performances I watched regarding slam poetry. The one I enjoyed the most was "The Poetry Slam Matariki 2014: Te Kahu Rollestone Performs". The reason why I liked this video the most was that it's very inspirational, I can tell that the speaker/performer was really proud of his culture. He explained what has happened in society nowadays, he also explained through his performance the difference of the society back then and now.

This was the video.

Here were the other videos. 

Metaphor & Simile - English

 In English, we continue our creative writing task. I've finished one of the tasks in there which was "Simile vs Metaphor". 

Here is the work I made from canvas. 

Slave Trade Triangle & Spirituals - Social Studies

We have been learning about "The Slave Trade Triangle" that occurred between the late 16th and 19th century. So, what is the slave trade triangle? Back then, slavery was a big thing in the Americas, they would take people from western Africa to work for them without payment, in exchange for goods. 

How exactly were African enslaved? They would get kidnapped, captured, raided, some who had debt were also taken. They took them in the ships, there, they lied down side by side, no food, no water or even use of the toilet, they were literally jailed inside the low decks of the ship. According to researches and scientists, approximately 12.5 million Africans were enslaved in the Americas.

This is the link to the passage around the countries as well as additional information.

https://www.google.co.nz/maps/d/edit?mid=13HfN6O8qDhpkiAJ5l_u_X3DcTHeVgwkr&usp=sharing

In Africa, the use of music is important and valued, back when slavery was a thing, they use music as a way to pass messages and to escape from being slave-captive. Others use it for celebrations, such as a wedding, birthdays, funerals, etc. They are called the "Spirituals". One of the spiritual songs used was "Wade in the water". 

Wade in the water means to swaddle, back in the era of slavery, since slaves were restricted to go out, furthermore, escape. The farm was surrounded by trained dogs of the Americans. Harriet Tubman was a famous woman for successfully helping African slaves to escape. Whenever she was ordered to give other slaves food and water or laundry, she would sing to them wade in the water, there the slaves will get the lyrics of the song and understand the plan. Back to the topic of dogs used to guards the slaves, dogs can't sense a person's scent in the water. With that, we would know that their plan was to escape at night because it's dark and everyone's tired and some are asleep. There were households that helped them escape, the slaves would stay there for the night and then continue the next. They travelled far away from the farm and go to a port where they will be taken in ships to go somewhere far. The Africans were scattered over the world where they had to adjust to a different environment and lived peacefully. 

Slavery still happens up to today though they are not called slavery, we now call it human trafficking. What is Human Trafficking? Human Trafficking is a crime and is illegal, it involves trading and selling humans (men, women, children) by force in exchange for money, stealing their freedom for the profit they get from selling these people. 

What happens in Human Trafficking? The most common reason why human trafficking happens is for adultery, even children, they are sold for their bodies. You could call it "Sex Slave". Others do it is because they want people to work for their farm, factories, work as a maid, etc.

We must stand against the torture and unfair treatment others do to one, especially those who sit in a higher rank than other civilians. We should spread the word. Come as one. Fight for freedom, humanity, and equality. 

Coraline Plot - English: Film Study - Hurumanu

 What are we learning? In our lesson in English Film Study, we learnt about the plot of the movie Coraline. We needed to include the...

• Exposition - The characters, Theme & Idea and Setting 
• Complication - The scene which triggers the chain of events or where something is about to happen
• Rising Action - This includes the series of events that increases the tension; to lead the climax of the story. 
• Climax - Where the problem is about to begin
• Falling Action - Where the problem has begun 
• Resolution - The problem has been solved by the protagonist
• Denouement - The ending of the story or the finale 

We needed to make a timeline of the plot of the story that includes those parts of the plot. 

I made mine using "Canva". 

How does this my learning?

This shows how much I know about the event in the movies and that I am able to show my presentation skills as well as my knowledge. 

What am I wondering as a result of my learning? 

I am wondering how I can use the skills I have earned in the next topic in English

An Environmental Crisis: Ocean Pollution Essay - Hurumanu - Sustainability

Pollution is an environmental crisis our world has been enduring for decades, within this topic, our discussion will be about ‘Ocean Pollution’. This essay is illustrated with examples of the causes and the numerous pollution incidents. 

Looking at where it all began, one of the biggest causes of ocean pollution comes from “non-point source pollution”. For instance, motor vehicle engines like trucks, cars, boats, including larger sources such as farms and ranches. They drop small amounts of oil each day onto roads and much of these oils make their way to the sea. Similarly, when oil flows in sewers, rivers and drainage, it goes directly in the ocean. As well as minerals and substances, they often make their way into the ocean. The release of these chemicals in the ocean’s ecosystem could lead to a reduction in the oxygen levels, decay of plant life and a decline of water quality. 

In the extension of the topic ‘Oil Spillage’, some of these oils come from sea vessels. Let’s use ships as an example, when ships travel, a preponderance of oils leak out and go to the ocean. Speaking of ships, let’s look at this text even further. In 1988, in the North Sea, the oil platform of ‘Piper Alpha’ below the sea was destroyed by an outbreak of fire on its surface, killing 167 workers (1.8 million litres of oil spillage). Another crisis, in June 1990, an outburst on board of a Norweigian supertanker called ‘The Mega Borg’, spilling an estimation of 23 million litres of crude oil in the Gulf of Mexico. 

These accidental and on purpose oil spills are responsible for killing and injuring large sea creatures. Whales, seals as well as seabirds and fish, small seashore animals such as barnacles and snails. Planktons and tiny plants which live on and below the sea surface.

Another problem is dumping food waste and toxic liquids in the ocean, they raise the ocean’s temperature, as a result of glacier integration and raising the ocean levels. When the ocean’s temperature rises, it will cause coral bleaching and the loss of breeding grounds for marine fishes and mammals, hence a reduction in marine life. 

Pollution is affecting marine life and overall the world. Without the ocean, people and most animals would die from dehydration. The ocean absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere, it covers 70% of the Earth surface. This means that the air we breathe, the majority comes from the absorption of our ocean. 

Consequently, toxic chemicals from industries plus productions, such as waste and agricultural pollution are the two most common waste. Some of these water pollutants could also cause air pollution as well as land. In other words, our Earth relies on the ocean as much as the ocean relies on land. It's our duty to protect our resources if we still want to have them. It’s up to our hospitality and determination to protect the waters.

Books: Environmental Disasters - Oil Spills by J Walker

Music used in Coraline - Hurumanu - English: Film Study

What are we learning? We are learning about the use of music in the movie Coraline. Recognizing the complementary of that music with the scene and colours. 

In the movie Coraline, music is used effectively to illustrate the mood and atmosphere. For example, in the house exploration scene of Coraline, slow tempo and minor chords were used producing a quiet dynamic. This music made the viewers feel intrigued. This was done to make the audience feel the emotions of Coraline, which was ‘bored’. This worked well with the pale and dark monochromatic colours making the scene gloomy and dull. This aspect can be compared to when Coraline was in the 'other world' where it was happy, warm and perfect. 

In the scene of the 'Mouse Circus' in the movie 'Coraline, music is used effectively to illustrate the mood and atmosphere. For instance, in that scene, fast tempo and the major chord is used, making a loud dynamic. The director did this on purpose to match the scene with the music and to show an entertaining scene as well to the audience. This worked well with colourful and vibrant colours which suit the scene and music. This can be juxtaposed with the 'other father' giving Coraline a tour in their marvellous garden.

In this filmography 'Coraline, music is used efficiently to formulate a particular scene. Using the scene of the 'other father's' song for Coraline used a fast tempo and a major chord as a result of a loud dynamic. Making the audience perceive an optimistic and cheerful scene. The director did this on purpose to manipulate the audience into thinking that the character's in the other world has good intentions. This worked well with picturesque and lively colours. This aspect can be compared to the scene where Coraline met the other people in the pink mansion. 

How does this show my learning? 

This shows that I have understood the use of music and recognise the meaning of the tempos, chords and dynamic.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning? I am wondering how the other activity or task connects with the overall story. 

Gymnastics - Hurumanu - Physical Education

We have been learning about gymnastics for the past few days and today, in our lesson in p.e, we did gymnastics, we learnt different techniques and skills. I had a lot of fun and not only that I had fun, I learn something as well. In gymnastics, there were different activities we can do such as the trampoline, beam, hula hoop and so on. 

I personally liked the beam more than the others, it's actually my favourite because I like the way how I can do poses and different techniques on the beam. 

The Heart Dissection - Science - Hurumanu

What have we been learning about? We have been learning about the heart and the circulatory system for the past few days. The parts of the heart and their purposes and the circulatory system; their labels and functions. 

Why are we dissecting heart? We are dissecting the heart to find and label the parts of the heart and be able to explain their functions and purposes. 

 What are the parts of the heart?

• Atrium - The atrium is the upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
• Ventricle - The ventricle is responsible for pumping the blood away from the heart.
• Valves - The purpose of the valves is to move the blood around the body.
• Pulmonary Artery - The right ventricle artery which pumps oxygen to the lungs. 

There were two parts of the heart that we didn't see because it has been cut off. Those parts were the atrium and the veins. 

Why do we need oxygen? We need oxygen because it produces energy which we need for our body to function. 

Enjoy?  I really enjoyed the experiment because I got to find out and see for myself the parts of the circulatory systems and as well as what the insides of the heart look like. It's very educational and knowledgable, you learn a lot of things with dissection of the heart.

This is a 'pig's heart' that has been cut open. We were taught which side (right or left) was bigger. 

The left ventricle was the biggest side of the heart which means the side is where we are going to cut first. We cut it side ways with a sharp dissecting knife. 

As you can see from this image, you can clearly tell that the bigger part of the heart means it's the left ventricle. It had more heart strings. we also saw the artery but it has been removed before so we only got to see the hole. 

Open Steak Sandwich & Rice Spring Rolls - Home Economics

Open Steak Sandwich 

Ingredients: 

• Flat Steak 
• Lettuce 
• Tomatoes
• Cheddar Cheese
• Buns

How is it made? 

1. Season the steak with minced garlic, oil, salt and pepper and marinate it.

2. Heat the pan, after the pan is heated, put in the marinated flat steak. Cook it for 2 minutes, make sure to not overcook it or it will be rubbery. 

3. Cut the tomatoes into circles. Cut the lettuce into strips. 

4. Prepare your buns, add the lettuce, tomatoes and cheddar cheese, you can put any sauce you'd like.

Appearance

The steak was juicy and the texture was right. 

The bun was soft and fluffy. 

The lettuce gave the sandwich a crunch and it made it healthier. 

The tomatoes made the sandwich juicier and gave it a sweet and sour taste to it. 

Flavour

• Sweet
• Sour
• Cheesy

Rating: I would give this dish a 9 out of 10, not a 10 because there could be more ingredients added to it like spinach and capsicum. 

Rice Paper Spring Rolls

• Thin Rice Noodles
• Cucumber
• Lettuce
• Rice Paper
• Carrot
• Bean sprouts

How is it made? 

1. Cut the cucumber, carrot into julienne. Cut the lettuce into thin strips. Cut the bean sprout into small pieces (the bean sprout we used were big and were not enough to distribute it to everyone in the group. 

2. Soak the rice paper in warm water, take the rice paper when it has become soft and is able to shape it. 

3. Place the rice paper on a plate or a workspace, put the vegetables you like on top of the rice paper, fold one of the two equivalent sides of the rice paper (the rice paper shape was circle). Then start rolling it on the end of the sides of the rice paper that is not folded.

Appearance 

It looks nice and presentable on the outside. 

It doesn't have any meat or any other seasoning to make it flavourful, just looking at the rice paper spring rolls, it looked bland. 

It looks wet. 

Flavour

• Bland
• Juicy (because of the cucumber's water

Rating: I would rate it a 1 out of 10 because I just didn't like it, the texture and flavour. 

Vegetarian Nachos - Home Economics

 In our lesson in Home Economics, we made Vegetarian Nachos. 

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 Onion 
• 2 - 4 Mushroom 
• 1/2 Carrots
• 1/2 Canned beans
• 1/2 Canned Tomato (chopped) Sauce
• Salt and Pepper (to taste) 
• Corn
• Peas 
• Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Corn Chips
• Oil

1. Cut half of an onion in minced. 

2. Sliced the Mushroom. 

3. Shred half of a carrot.

4. In a pan, add in your oil, wait for it to heat up, put the minced onions in, wait for it to caramelise then add the mushroom. Basically, you're going to saute the onions and mushroom.

5. After the mushroom had a brownish tone to it, add in the peas, corn and your shredded carrots. 

6. Add the beans and tomato sauce, stir it. 

7. Wait for a couple of minutes then sprinkled some salt and pepper, about a pinch. 

8. After it's cooked, assembled the corn chips then pour in the sauce you just cooked. 

9. Grate a small block of cheese and sour cream then you're done! 

This is our Vegetarian Nachos 

Steve Jobs - Business Studies

For the past few weeks, we've been researching famous entrepreneurs and putting information about them in a draft then transferring it to our final presentation. 

This is my slideshow.

The entrepreneur I researched about was Steve Jobs, I wrote down about his early life, the skills and qualities he had as an entrepreneur, the challenges and battles he faced and his success. I also have put down the websites I got the resources from. 

Stir Fry Evaluation - Home Economics

 How the dish was made: 

1. Cut the vegetables (that you chose to put in your stir fry) in julienne. We chose cauliflower, carrots and mushroom, the members in our group didn't want broccoli so we just didn't include it in. The carrots were cut in julienne while the rest was cut the way it was supposed to be cut.

2. Cut the chicken in strips, we used chicken breast, each group had a chicken breast each. 

3. Marinate the chicken strips in sesame oil (btw sesame oil is sooooooo gooooood, you should try it). 

4. Cut the onions to dice, the specific name for cutting into small dices is mince (minced onions). 

5. In a pan, saute your chicken and onions, first add the onions then the chicken. 

6. While that chicken is cooking, boil the noodles in the water, we used one pack of noodles. 

7. Once the chicken is nearly cooked, add your vegetables. 

8. Put the seasoning on the noodles.

8. Wait until the vegetables are cooked then add your noodles, stir it then add a little bit of soy sauce. 

9. Stir it until it's cooked, it took us 15 - 20 minutes to cook. 

Ingredients: 

• Chicken Flavoured Noodles
• Onions
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Chicken
• Mushroom

Sensory Evaluation: 

Sight: The stir fry looked really good, the colour of the carrot made the stir look vibrant, it's a bit on the dark side because when you saute food, it's going to look golden brown-ish. And it's probably because of the soy sauce since soy sauce is a dark coloured sauce. 

Smell: It smelled like sesame oil, it's because we used sesame oil.

Taste: It tasted really good, you can taste the carrots, the seasoning on the noodles, which is chicken. The taste of the sesame oil was really powerful so it tasted more like sesame. 

Touch: Crunchy because of the cauliflower but a bit on the soft side. 

Hear: It's crunchy when you bite the cauliflower.

Rate: 

I would rate it 9/10 because the cauliflower was not cooked properly, it's a bit on the raw side. 

Next steps to improve: 

Next time, what we could improve on is time management, we didn't have time to cook the cauliflower longer because we only had 10 minutes and we needed time to eat it as well. Maybe we could've added some greens but most people in our group don't really eat greens.

This is my group's stir fry
