Drama📜- Ways to be physically active.

This weeks drama our wonderful teacher Miss K has decided for us to work on physical activity, which I love in my opinion I find physical activity really enjoyable and you can also be fit and stay fit when doing in it.

Here are 5 ways to be physically active.

• Leave your keys at home often so you can take a walk, walking can be very helpful for you first you are helping the environment and also you are keeping yourself fit.
• Play a fun round of sports with friends or family, for example, you can play football or hockey.
• You can join dance classes or just have a dance party when you dance you can lose a lot of fat and it can also keep you fit and healthy.
• Swimming is another great way to keep fit and healthy it is something that you can do if you don't like getting sweaty or hot.
• You can also do yoga it is a relaxing and fun way to get fit.

We did hot seating which is a small game where you have 3 or more people in a group and you all decide which person will sit in on the seat. The rest of the people will have come up with questions to ask the person on the seat. In my class, we had to get into a group of 3 in my group I was the person on the hot seat our questions had to be about physical activity.

I really liked this session of drama and enjoyed 

Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Climate Change video; The Facts video

As you watch the video answer these questions:

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?

We might not have any land since the land might be flooded due to sea level rise. There also might be air pollution, if there was a flood would there be enough time to get a boat will the news alert us? If we fix the flood would we know how to fix the drought? 

How do we see climate change affecting the globe?

1.   Antarctica melting causing sea level rise because of the factories releasing air pollution in the air.
2.   The heat increasing to dangerous temperatures. 
3.   it might not rain anymore due to air pollution When the heat increases the temperature of the ocean will affect the water quality and also accelerate water pollution. 

What is needed to change history?
We need to take care of our planet and stop littering. less use of cars and more uses of biking or our legs, we are causing this bad history and we need to change, we need to stop cutting down tree's so our atmosphere can stay strong.
Urgent action from us humans.

Is climate change a man-made disaster?
yes, since we are the thing that had caused our planet to heat up from fossil fuels. The heat rays will be stronger since our atmosphere which would cause more drought and Antarctica melting. some of us humans have not yet realized climate change and when they do it might be too late. 

Dramatic action must be made in the next _10_ years to change it?
Because animals are dying because of climate change and if we don't react fast some animals could go extinct, The sea level is rising if we don't help countries could be disappearing. our world could be taken away from our hands since we couldn't take full responsibility from where we live.

Why is our climate changing?

Because of heat rays, extreme heats, super storms, drought, sea level rise, human's polluting, cutting down the tree's it's all because of us humans.

What is causing the warming trend of the climate?

Cars, Fossil fuels, pollution, factories, melting of huge amounts of ice, heat rays. that we are causing.

What is the main problem?

Climate change, the air is polluted which causes holes in our protective atmosphere which cause powerful rays of the sun affecting our land, animals and us.

What are the examples of these?

Cars and factories.

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?

When burning fossil fuels the factories release Carbon dioxide.

How much hotter now is our world?

1-degree Celsius

What do we call this global warming?
In my opinion, it is called climate change.

How is this affecting creatures/animals like bats?

It is getting hotter and hotter, where the bats cannot tolerate longer the parents of the baby are dying and the way they keep themselves cool is no longer working.

What percentage of species are near extinction?

8 percent in total.

How could this affect the world ecosystems?

For example, the rain forests since it is always moist can become dry and affect the animals and insects which live there they will not be used to it and can die.

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?

The huge fire.

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. There is an increase in heat.

2. More rain which causes flooding.

3. Superstorms.

What is another effect of climate change?
It can affect animals since there will be change 

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?

All of Earth. will be flooded and there will be no land left for us to live on when that happens.

How does this affect people?

People may not be used to the weather, and also 

What other things affect oceans change?

The heat since it can change the temperature of the ocean.

What does to much heat do to coral?

It completely kales down the coral.

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?

Because fossil fuels help us for example cars and cars help people with disabilities. and also since it is the fuel of transportation which some people really need. Also, it gives us energy for our electronics.

Game Coding?!

Hello People!, For the past few weeks in one of our hurumanu's my class 7/8AL and Whaea's class 7/8WH have been learning how to create a game throughout coding. Our game needed to be based on the earth for e.g the pollution in the water or on land, or the animals, My game was based on the pollution in the water. I did not finish the game and I was not able to finish coding the rubbish so it will be able to become collectible, overall the rest is fine so if you want to have fun go ahead and give a shot!

♡If you would like to have a go at the game click the link below ♡

I really enjoyed this hurumanu I have learned how to code although it was no the easiest task I have also learned more about my Kaitiaki, for example, Tane Mahuta he is the god of trees. and all the others to make it easier to understand it is like the gods in New Zealand for the Earth's elements. Tane Mahuta for the tree and the birds, Tawhirimatea is the god of the weather he controls the wind and basically, things involving the weather Tangaroa is the god of the ocean or as some say the sea he is the habitat of all marine animals. In this hurumanu, the thing I found hard was doing the coding not when I was practicing but when we had to do it for the actual game making luckily we had gamefroot. gamefroot is a website when you can make games and apps and so on all the scripts are already made for you and they are designed for a specific purpose for e.g the coins are made to be a collectible. What made me keep going and not giving up was that my friends were able to help me out when I needed it, I was not very good at it but overall I really enjoyed this project and if we had to do it again I would enjoy it.

I used gamefroot since it is an easy app as I said before I don't have to stress myself out with making the scripts it is already made and there are also different versions you can do I did have to touch up and edit some scripts.


When learning this we had to research about it the teachers had shown us videos about what we need to make our game about.



If you want more go to youtube and search for e.g The ocean is speaking.

What did you like about my post and why?
Have you coded or want to try give me a reason why you want to/What you like about it?

Planting seeds

In our community impact project, we had to pick 6 kinds of vegetable seeds to plant since we were going to create our own garden. Also on that day was the day Mrs. Allan started to create some plum jam she picked a small bunch of people to help her make it about the vegetable seeds whilst we had to research about the vegetable seeds that can grow throughout winter. So we did what the teacher had asked us by researching different kinds of vegetables and they had to be vegetables, not fruit nor flowers. In the area, we are planting these vegetable seeds into egg tray first till their sprouts come out of the soil. Then we will take them down to the school garden, The purpose why we are doing this all is to make our garden beautiful and pretty for the school we are trying to improve the school.
You must be wondering what vegetables I had picked well they are:
1. Broad Beans - They can grow through March to the end of July they need to be grown where bees like to pollinate since broad beans need to be pollinated. It takes 18 - 25 weeks till you can harvest them meaning until you can actually eat it.

2. Broccoli - They can grow through February, March, and April it is easy to grow the only thing is to avoid planting it beside beans the dwarf bush bean is fine, don't plant it by climbing pole beans, tomato, peppers - (chili, capsicum), eggplant, and strawberries. Then you can start harvesting them in 10 - 16 weeks.

3. Cauliflower - It takes 3 - 4 months before we can harvest and cauliflowers DO NOT enjoy temperatures over 25 degrees, so make sure you are planting it in the correct time.

4. lettuce - Plants the lettuce at least 20 - 30 cm apart, It can be harvested in 8 - 12 weeks just do not grow them close to celery or parsley.
5. Carrots - You need to plant your carrot 12 - 24 inches apart in rows that 2 to 3 feet apart they can be harvested in 12 - 18 week avoid planting carrots by parni
6. Celery

P.E HURUMANU

Hello everyone, as you know I normally do art for my hurumanu but last week was actually the last week we were going to be doing art well until term 4. So for the rest of term 1 and 2, I will be doing physical education we will blog about this every day when having PE hurumanu. Today was our first-day doing physical education for PE we are doing FBN it means football, basketball, and netball my favorite is netball and basketball. Miss Allan-Fletcher explained how we are also doing math equations which were great since I really like math, she also explained some rules of what we have to make sure we follow. Today we focused on football in football our goal was to trap the ball since she realized we normally just kick the ball to random places. Also that we should trap it so we can take proper control of the ball and actually pass it to our team members, some of us students got really confused we didn't know what trapping was so she explained. Miss Allan-Fletcher used to be a coach of a football team so she knows a lot about football, she told us that trapping is where you stop the ball with the soul of your foot there are 4 more ways that you need to find out. If we trap the ball we will be able to have more control over the ball and kick it to our teammates then it was time for us to try it out ourselves. We had to get in teams of 4 in my team was Lhysette, Shiela, and Megan, we had to go into the old gym for this exercise. We had to create a square the goal was to trap the ball and make sure we have control of the ball. We were struggling a bit since some of us would either kick the ball too hard or kick the ball to lightly and even kick the ball in a different direction from us. Overall it was really fun to learn to trap and play sport with my friends. 

In this session I have learned a lot and would use it in the future since both my uncles and my dad are football players and we like to bond by playing football sometimes we would get hurt but it would also be really fun.

P.E HURUMANU - Create your own game

For P.E we had just ended our first topic which was to create our own game which had to include things about football, netball, and basketball. The name of our game was called D.N ball it was a combination of Dodgeball and Netball after we planned our game and rules and other game needs. We needed to make sure all of it made sense so when another group reads it they can understand and actually play the game without our help. After all that editing we were able to get into physical action we were told we needed to find another group and try to learn their game, with their instructions without their help It was a little bit frustrating  but we got through it then when they played our game without us helping them was easy they did not understand some so we changed a bit and we got through it.

What worked well? -
Is that they got a hang of the game was able to play it properly because at the start it was a bit confusing since it was only like rules then we started to understand and they played it nicely.

What didn't work well? -
Is that they thought it was ball tag which it was like but not entirely because we twisted some of the rules and how you play it, I think it was because that is what the game was similar to.

What would you change and why? -
I think we should change up the rules and adjust it more so it wasn't so similar to ball tag.

(D.N Ball)

Object	There will be 5 taggers there will be another group with no taggers the point is that the tagger must try to tag everyone in the other group if you count on yourself you are allowed to run with the ball and try to tag everyone else. The best way is teamwork with using teamwork you can pass the ball to other taggers which are closer to your targets, which is the other group you need to throw the ball at the targets it must be below the legs. When you the tagger had tagged someone you need to shoot hoops with the person they had tagged and whoever shot the hoop first is the winner and they are tagger and stay in the game the loser sits out.
Players	28 as the most and the least is 15 also there needs to be at least 5 taggers.
Equipment	1 Dodgeball,  4 cones,
Scoring	For scoring you need to tag another player from the other team when you do you both have to shoot hoops whoever lost is out the and the winner the person you shot a goal first and is now the tagger. Also if some people are far away you are not allowed to move but you are allowed to dribble to get closer or pass to another tagger that is close to most of the the people.
Winning	If everyone is out and it is only the 5 taggers left they need to verse each other and you need to see you last person is standing.
Rules	No teaming Don’t throw the ball hard No passing the boundaries You can use trick shot to shoot the hoops No rough play Follow the rules Below waist aiming No kicking the ball Do not intentionally throw the ball to someone.
