2011 Christchurch Earthquake

Ki Ora

Today in Hurumanu1 we have been doing some research about the Christchurch Earthquake and we have to make a blog about the Christchurch Earthquake  and some of the video were interesting and some of the video was very sad and the earthquake was a massive one and some of the people were shocked about the earthquake that happened. We have to answer these three questions and they were hard to research about so we had to write them into our own words so that the teacher understand what we are writing about. 

How have the Christchurch earthquakes had an impact on our city? I had thought that the Canterbury earthquake was scary and the earthquake was a huge one and some people and buildings were safe and there were so many deaths. Also the parents and the caretakers were so terrified about the deaths and some of the people were in the earthquake were shocked and surprised. Also the Canterbury Earthquake can be a big damage to your house because it can cause a lot of money because the house can be a mansion and you don’t have any money and the house cost a lot of money.

What positives or negatives have come from the earthquakes? 

I think negatives because so many people died and most houses and I think positive people get wounded but they are sometimes brave and sometimes I think negatives because people always die also most houses break because i think it would pay a lot of money some people might think positives but some people might think negatives because negatives die and building collapse. Also I think negative because you might die from the bricks or the woods also i think positives if you go out of your house very quickly and you will be safe and you can get your kids first outside.

What are some changes that citizens have made to prevent damage happening from potential future earthquakes?

I think that they need to be prepared and be ready for what's going to happen next. Also I think that everyone should be brave and save everyone when there is an earthquake and evacuate everything that you need. Also if there is an earthquake be prepared because the earthquake might be big and you need to get everyone together and get somewhere safe.

Harinita Question Mars

In your own words summarise what happens at the Mars Desert Research Centre?They stay in the research at Utah Desert. Also the Utah Desert is big and they wear their helmets whenever they go outside but they need to be hydrated and eat some food and the Utah Desert is very expensive to go to and discover it.

What did Harinita find difficult about being at the research centre?

I think Harinita difficulty is being at the station all day to do some work and some other stuff and Harinita is tired because she always does work all the time and she always does stuff as people are told.

Why do you think it is important for astronauts to practice in an environment like this before heading into space?

I think astronauts need to practice because they need to be ready to face mars and not to go there and die and also you have to make a good environment to help with stuff that you don’t know and if you keep doing environment you might get smart every time when you go to mars.

Mars Questions

Navigating In Space

 Aim:  Can I navigate a straight line without using my senses.

Research:

Q1. What are your five senses?

Vision, Hearing, Touch, Smell, Taste, and Gut Feeling.

Q2. People get lost in the jungle conditions and they might stay in the jungle and they don't know were to go and might not get out of the jungle. Also they might go the way 

Q3. Do you have anything special about your legs?

My legs usually goes straight all the time when i walk with blind fold on my face and my legs controls me to walk straight all the time.

Hypothesis:

I think i am going to be walking in a straight line but after a few minute's i might turn anticlockwise slowly and make a perfect circle shape.

Method:

Equipment:

• Bucket
• Cotton Wool
• Blindfold
• Safety Partner

Instructions

1. Put the cotton wool in your ears and nose.
2. Put on the blindfold.
3. Place the bucket over your head.
4. Get your safety person to spin you 3 times and line you up with the flag.

Blog about science challenge

Hi guys today I am going to talking about science challenge in hurumanu3.

On Wednesday we did this exciting challenge on the big field. So the rules where we had to choose 3 options to message to the receiver and the three option are Flag Signs, Morse Code, Hexadecimal Code and the have to pick one then write anything that you are going to send to the receiver. One person has to go to the far end of the field and they are the receiver and one person on the other side of the field and they are the messenger. 

So the messenger has to do what has written on the piece of paper and you have to follow the written word that the teacher has written on the piece of paper and you have to send the sign to the receiver.

My communication form was Hexadecimal code because it was easy to use and we just had to write what we have to send to the receiver. And the receiver has to approach if it is right or incorrect. We failed the hexadecimal code because it was to hard to explain and we have to listen in science to get everything right.

Thank you everyone for looking at my work.

Navigation In Space Hur3

Navigation In Space?

What is a solar system?

The solar system consists of the Sun, planets, dwarf planets,

moons, and numerous smaller objects such as comets and asteroids.

What is a milky way an example of?

The Milky Way galaxy is part of a group of galaxies called the

Virgo Super cluster. The closest neighbours are the Large and

Small Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda galaxy.

What is a Star?

A star is a sun and a star is a luminous ball of gas,

mostly hydrogen and helium held together by its own gravity.

Nuclear fusion reactions in its core support the star against gravity and

produce photons and heat, as well as small amounts of heavier elements.

The Sun is the closest star to Earth.

Describe a Nebula?

A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in interstellar space.

Every nebula contains hydrogen and helium and a mixture of other gases.

Our galaxy has many nebulae and astronomers have found these

clouds in other galaxies as well.

How do stars die?

Stars die because they exhaust their nuclear fuel.

Really massive stars use up their hydrogen fuel quickly but

are hot enough to fuse heavier elements such as helium and carbon.

Once there is no fuel left the star collapses and the outer

layers explode as a supernova and explode everywhere.

Is there an up or down in space?

There is an up and down in space.

Down is simply the direction gravity is pulling you and up

is just the opposite direction. Since there is gravity everywhere in

space, there is also an up and down everywhere in space. If you are

in space and the earth is the nearest object you fall towards earth.

How can stars be used to navigate?

The Navigational Star Chart can be used to calculate

position by finding the circle of position of three separate stars.

The point where those circles intersect is the location of the boat.

Martian Questions

Hi Guys My Name Is Tutoe Welcome ToMy Blog.

Today i am going to be doing Martian Questions.

When can a mission to Mars (or from Mars) Happen? Every Twenty Six Month Some people think boots on mars will happen as soon as 2024.

What are two geological features of Mars.? Mars is known as the Red Planet because of its colour (caused by large amounts of iron oxide.)

What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars.? NASA has a machine called a MOXIE which uses electricity to split carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide.   

If it dose not rain on Mars where does the water comes from.?  It doesn’t rain on Mars. This means the planet has no rivers or lakes. Water is found as ice in the polar ice caps, but these ice caps are covered in a thick layer of frozen carbon dioxide.

How will people get food on mars what is a possible solution.? One obvious solution would be to grow food on Mars but there's no soil. Instead the planets surface is covered in ground up rock. 

Hero Vs Villain

             

Hi guys today i am talking about our Hero Vs Villain so we had to do drawings and do some writing like writing stuff into our setting plan and other stuff to write to and put the writing there. Also we had to watch a video because we need to know what to do.

Hero Vs Villain

One day there was a Super Hero out in a peaceful town and a beautiful

bright blue sky and a nice calming air. He could see trees flowering and

leaves blowing around. There is also rubbish all over the ground blowing

around and a nice smell of KFC and McDonald.

First I could see a man with his two children.

They were playing tag at the park with his dad and having fun together.

They could see the blue nice sea next to the bridge. They went on the slide

and then onto a bigger slide. Tired out they went to the bench to take a break.

The Super Hero was just watching them. The Super Hero was happy for them.

After that the two kids had worn shiny sunglasses because it was a very hot

sunny beautiful day.

Secondly the father and the two kids were hungry and

went to McDonald and bought some food to eat.

They bought the food and they came back to the park and then

they went to the bench and ate McDonald and drank fizzy drinks. 

Then along came the villain to the park

and made the park stormy and pitch black and he got an army and

there was blood dripping everywhere. Then the Villain took the two children.

The Villain stayed at the park to wait for the Super Hero.

Recently the Villain let the Super Hero come to the park.

Then the Super Hero said ‘’Give me back the children’’

then the Villain said ‘’You have to give me $100,000 and

I will give the children back’’. After that the Super Hero got angry and got

$100,000.

After that the Super Hero gives the money to the Villain.

Then the Villain gives back the children, then the Super Hero gives

the children to the father. Then the Super Hero started to have a fight

together at the park.

Lastly the Villain suddenly said something

“Wait I want to surrender’’. Then the Super Hero said

‘’Why are you surrendering’’. Then the Villain said “Because I

want to be a good boy and do good things for other people like you.

Then the Super Hero said “That’s good for you’.Then the nice Super Hero said

‘’I can get a very nice job to do and help your learning’’ then the Boy was happy

for his new job. THE & END

Hello guys this is Tutoe this is Hur2 and I am going to be telling you guys about The History Of The Bible and this was one of my favourite things to do and i love reading the bible and we had to write words that we need and what we like to read and keep reading.

Hello guys my name is Tutoe I am going to be telling you guys about The History of the Bible

I chose this because it is very interesting and I always like to read the bible.   

I think the Bible is a scripture of Christianaty

Religion to protect people from being in a danger of stuff.

There can be any language and the Bible is the word that God made.

   

They can tell the history of the Earth from its earliest.

There are 31,173 pages on the bible so that we can read to protect us.

Moses is the one who made the bible book and wrote the book.

The people in the bible:Jesus,Mary Mother of Jesus,Joseph,Brothers of Jesus,Joses,Mary of Clopas.

King James is the one who reads the bible everyday.

Moses is the best writer and everyone likes his writing because it makes the people feel protected.

Scholars now believe that the stories that would become the Bible were spread by word of mouth across the centuries, in the form of oral tales and poetry. Eventually, these stories were collated and written down.

Traditionally, 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament were attributed to Paul the Apostle, who famously converted to Christianity after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus and wrote a series of letters that helped spread the faith throughout the Mediterranean world.

24th June: Aotearoa History Show/New Zealand War

The Aotearoa History Show 

The New Zealand Wars.

Today we watched the Aotearoa History Show about the
New Zealand Wars.

First we learnt the Government sent pakehas to fight the
Maoris.

Second the Maoris saw an angel and the angel said you
could own the land.

Then after that the soldiers were protecting the land so
the Maori could not go through to the land.

In 1864 the Maori killed some of the army men.

Then the Government confiscated the land.

After that the Maori thought he was a British spy.

Also that there were 3000 people lost their lives
and there were 2000 Maoris.

But in 1863 the land was illegally confiscated from the
Maoris and the Maoris were losing their farm land.

There was a New religion by the Maori prophet
Te Ua called Pai Marere.

Te Kote got sent to the Chatham Islands and
there was a new leader who was great at fighting and a
genius. The new leader's name was Te Toku Ware. He was a great leader and he did not want to have war with other people like the British.

Then Te Kote attacked the village and there were
60 people who died at the village because he had to
get revenge.

The Government wanted the land so bad because
the British were losing the war.
