Matariki – Literacy

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m excited to share with you all about my recent learning experience during a work-from-home session that involved years 7 and 8. We had this time to catch up on pending activities, and I specifically focused on the activity reading, which was Matariki, which is significant in New Zealand.

 

Over the course of weeks 7 to 9, we had the opportunity to delve deep into our tasks and complete as much work as possible. In literacy, we concentrated on Matariki, and let me tell you, it was quite an enriching. We were tasked with answering and learning a set of slides, totalling 43 in all, which provided an abundance of information. I expanded my knowledge significantly, learned new vocabulary, and even came across some captivating stories and activities associated with Matariki. In this blog post, I’ll share the key things I learned, along with insights from my task. Enjoy!

 

What is Matariki?

Mānawatia a Matariki – AKO

 

Matariki, also known as the Māori New Year, is celebrated in New Zealand and marks the rise of the Pleiades star cluster in the night sky. This event signifies a time of reflection, remembrance, and planning for the year ahead. Traditionally, it’s a time for families to gather, pay respects to their ancestors, and celebrate the cycle of life.

 

 

When to Celebrate?

Agence MayJune - Mediaslide

The celebration of Matariki occurs in late May or early June, depending on the lunar calendar. The exact date varies each year because it is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, marking the beginning of the Māori New Year.

 

How to Celebrate?

5 fresh ways to celebrate Matariki with your family - Kiwi FamiliesMatariki is celebrated in various ways, including family gatherings, singing, dancing, and feasting. People might engage in activities such as storytelling, planting seeds for the upcoming year, or even creating artworks reflecting the stars. Celebrations also include community events where everyone can come together to learn and share.

 

How Many Stars and Their Names?

The Matariki star cluster consists of nine main stars, which are known as the Nine Sisters. These stars are: 

1. MatarikiMatariki artworks a koha to all - AUT News - AUT

2. Pōhutukawa

3. Waitī

4. Waitā

5. Tupu-a-nuku

6. Tupu-a-rangi

7. Hiwa-i-te-rangi

8. Ururangi

9. Waipuna-a-rangi

 

What Does Each Star Represent?

Each star in the Matariki cluster has its significance:

– Waiti: This star symbolises freshwater sources and the life they support, encouraging us to take care of our rivers, lakes, and streams.

 

Waita: Connected to the ocean and marine life, this star emphasises the importance of sustainable fishing and ensuring abundant sea resources.

 

– Waipuna-a-rangi: Associated with rain and atmospheric water, this star represents our appreciation for the rain that nourishes all living things.

 

– Tupu-a-nuku: This star pertains to the food produced from the earth and serves as a guide for planting times. “Tupu” means to grow, and “nuku” relates to the earth.

 

– Tupu-a-rangi: Related to trees, birds, and food from the forest, this star reminds us of the gifts from nature, including the kereru, which is traditionally harvested during the Matariki season.

 

– Ururangi: Known as the star of the winds, it celebrates both gentle and strong breezes, and kite flying is a common tradition to honour Matariki.

 

– Pohutuakawa: This star connects the living with those who have passed away, honouring individuals who died in the previous year during the Matariki celebrations.

 

– Hiwa-i-te-rangi: Referred to as the wishing star, it is associated with aspirations, dreams, and setting goals for the upcoming year.

– Matariki: The leading star of the cluster symbolises care and well-being, with a bright Matariki indicating a promising year ahead.

 

Why Do the Dates for Matariki Change Each Year?

The dates for Matariki change each year because they are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar that many of us are accustomed to. The Māori lunar calendar follows the phases of the moon, which means that the observed rising of Matariki may not fall on the same date annually. This variability reflects the cycles of nature and holds cultural significance within Māori traditions.

 

Do Different Iwi Celebrate Matariki in Different Ways?

Yes, various iwi (tribes) in New Zealand celebrate Matariki in unique ways, often incorporating their distinct traditions, languages, and cultural practices. While the core themes of remembrance, celebration, and new beginnings remain consistent, the specific activities and significance attached to them can vary greatly depending on the customs of each iwi.

 

Do Other Cultures Celebrate a Similar Thing?

Many cultures around the world have celebrations that coincide with the new year or are tied to cosmic events. For example, the Lunar New Year, celebrated in many East Asian countries, marks the beginning of a new year based on the lunar calendar. Similarly, other cultures may have harvest festivals or rituals honouring the stars and cosmic events, reflecting the universal human relationship with the cycles of nature.

 

Task

For the task we had to complete the slides I hope you enjoy!

 

Conclusion

Through this project, I have learned an incredible amount about Matariki, and I hope sharing this knowledge inspires you to explore and celebrate it as well. The process of answering and learning the slides was not only informative but also a joy as I uncovered various aspects of this beautiful tradition. I look forward to continuing my learning journey and deepening my understanding of our rich cultures. Thank you for reading, and I hope you found something valuable in this post.

PTSD – Health Class

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. This week in health class, we explored emotional disorders, with a focus on OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). We had some engaging discussions and answered questions about these conditions, which really deepened our understanding. In this post, I’ll share my insights about emotional disorders, specifically OCD and PTSD, as well as my tasks, reflection, and conclusion. I hope you find this informative. Enjoy!

Understanding Emotional Disorders

Emotional disorders are mental health conditions that significantly impact an individual’s ability to manage emotions. These disorders can shape how people think, feel, and behave, ultimately affecting their daily lives, relationships, and self-esteem. This week, my class went into two critical emotional disorders: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These conditions can create substantial challenges for those who experience them, but understanding and awareness can pave the way for effective support and coping strategies.

 

Focus on PTSD

Definition:
Post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs following a traumatic event. It can manifest in various ways and often hinders the individual’s ability to move forward after experiencing something distressing.

Examples:
1. Car Accidents: A survivor may have flashbacks or intrusive thoughts related to the crash.
2. Violent Encounters: Witnessing or being a victim of violence can trigger intense emotional reactions long after the event.
3. Natural Disasters: Events like floods or earthquakes can lead to severe anxiety and fear of similar occurrences in the future.

What Does PTSD Look Like?
– Physically: Symptoms may include fatigue, restlessness, and a heightened startle response.
– Mentally: Individuals might experience intrusive memories, nightmares, and difficulty concentrating.
– Emotionally: Feelings of detachment, irritability, and overwhelming sadness can pervade daily life.

3 Ways to Help:
1. Be a Supportive Listener: Encourage open conversations about their feelings and experiences.
2. Encourage Professional Help: Gently suggest therapy or counselling as a means to navigate their emotions.
3. Promote Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Introduce relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or journaling.

 

Focus on OCD

Definition:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) that individuals feel compelled to perform.

Examples:
1. Cleaning Rituals: A person might feel the urge to wash their hands multiple times, fearing contamination.
2. Checking Behaviours: Continuously checking locks or appliances, driven by the fear of something terrible happening.
3. Orderliness: An overwhelming need to arrange items in a specific way, creating distress if that order is disrupted.

What Does OCD Look Like?
– Physically: Individuals may exhibit signs of anxiety, such as fidgeting or avoidance behaviours.
– Mentally: The sensation of having thoughts that one cannot shake off, leading to mental fatigue.
– Emotional: Individuals often feel intense fear, frustration, and helplessness due to their compulsive behaviours.

3 Ways to Help:

1. Educate Yourself and Others: Understanding OCD can reduce stigma and misinterpretation of the disorder.
2. Offer Emotional Support: Sometimes, just being there to listen can make a significant difference.
3. Promote Professional Guidance: Encourage seeking help from mental health professionals skilled in cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Reflection and Conclusion –

I really enjoyed this week’s exploration of emotional disorders, specifically PTSD and OCD. Learning about these conditions not only expanded my understanding but also deepened my empathy towards those affected. Emotional disorders are complex, but they can profoundly impact individuals’ lives in various ways. Through education and awareness, we can create a supportive environment for those battling these challenges.

I hope you found this blog post both engaging and informative, providing insights into emotional disorders based on what I learned in health class this week. Remember, it’s essential to talk about these topics openly, as doing so can break down barriers and promote understanding within our communities.

To adapt – Drama Class

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today in our drama class, we worked on a few blog posts that we hadn’t completed yet. This particular post is “to adapt”. In it, I included tasks from the Ace, Pro, Legend, and Titan levels.

Facial expression –

To recreate the emotion of happiness in your facial expression and body language, you can try the following techniques:

 

1. Facial Expression: Smile genuinely. Your eyes can also reflect happiness, so consider softening them and perhaps crinkling them a bit at the corners.

 

2. Body Language: Stand or sit up straight to convey openness and confidence. You might want to use open arms or have a relaxed posture, which can help to express joy.

 

3. Props or Environment: If possible, surround yourself with things that make you happy, whether it’s a favourite object, a bright background, or even nature.

 

4. Capture the Moment: Once you feel that sense of happiness in your expression and posture, take a picture to encapsulate that emotion.

Emotions Explained –

Vulnerable: This emotion often arises when someone feels exposed or at risk of being hurt, whether physically or emotionally. Vulnerable individuals may struggle with feelings of uncertainty and helplessness, often seeking support from others to cope.

 

Depressed: Depression encompasses feelings of deep sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of motivation or interest in life. It can manifest as a persistent sense of emptiness or despair, leading individuals to withdraw from social activities and isolate themselves.

 

Assured: Feeling assured is marked by confidence and certainty in oneself and one’s abilities. This emotion brings a sense of peace and security, allowing individuals to approach challenges with a positive mindset and a willingness to take risks.

 

Affectionate: Affectionate emotions are characterised by warmth, love, and caring toward others. This feeling can be expressed through physical touch, kind words, or thoughtful gestures, fostering a sense of connection and intimacy in relationships.

 

Empowered: Empowerment reflects a sense of control and confidence over one’s life and circumstances. Individuals who feel empowered are likely to take initiative and pursue their goals with determination, often inspiring others with their positive attitude and resilience.

 

Nervousness –

Facial Expression of Nervousness: The expression of nervousness typically includes a crinkled forehead, lowered eyebrows, and eyes that look downward. The mouth is often pressed straight or slightly pursed, reflecting tension.

 

Emotion Type: Nervousness is an anxiety-related emotion that indicates apprehension or fear about a future event or outcome.

 

Behaviour: Nervous Individuals may fidget, avoid eye contact, or speak quickly. They might exhibit physical signs such as sweating or shaking, as their bodies respond to stress.

 

Overcoming Nervousness: To reduce feelings of nervousness, individuals can practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, or visualisation exercises. Preparing thoroughly for upcoming situations and focusing on positive outcomes can also help minimise anxiety. Journaling thoughts and feelings can provide clarity and lessen overwhelming feelings.

 

Narrative Writing – Literacy Class

Kia ora, everyone, and welcome back to my blog. This week, as well as last week, my class ALT has been learning in-depth about narrative writing and using our editing skills. I found the activities we worked on to be enjoyable. After reflecting on my progress, I decided to start my work on legend, since it felt like the best match for the strides I’ve made.

During this week, we had four engaging tasks, each one designed to enhance our writing abilities:

Task 1: The first task focused on mastering the basics of writing, where we added capital letters and punctuation to sentences. We also had to unscramble words.

Task 2: Next up was a task that involved correcting sentences. We identified these sentences as commands, questions, exclamations, or statements, ticking the appropriate box for each, and then correcting the punctuation according to the type of sentence we had identified.

Task 3: For the third task, we were tasked with circling adjectives and underlining nouns in given sentences. Since circling wasn’t an option on our document, I highlighted the words instead.

Task 4: The final task built upon the work we did in weeks four and five, where we focused on narrative writing. We used a Narrative Writing Template Checklist to guide our revisions. The goal was to copy and paste our previous narratives into the checklist and include the feedback we received from my buddy and teacher. This way, we could identify areas that needed improvement and refine our narratives to make them even stronger.

Now, you might be wondering, What is a narrative? A narrative is a story that conveys a sequence of events, often focusing on personal experiences or imaginative tales. It combines characters, plot, and a setting, weaving them together to engage the reader’s imagination and emotions. Narratives can help us enhance our thinking strategies.

Task:

Task 1

Task 2

Task 3

Task 4

 

Reflection –

Something I found interesting: I found everything interesting because it provided a refreshing take on narrative writing. Everything I did was enjoyable and educational.

Something I found not interesting: There was nothing that I found uninteresting.

Balloon Rockets – Science Class

Hello everyone. Today in science, we conducted an experiment called Balloon Rockets. This experiment was both fun and interesting as we learned about different strategies. In this blog post, I will share the aim, equipment, method, results, and include a picture along with a video so you can try this experiment. I hope you find this blog post enjoyable and feel inspired to try it at home. It’s a lot of fun!

 

Balloon Rockets

Aim:  

  • To understand the forces acting on a balloon rocket.

 

Equipment:  

  • 1 balloon (round balloons work, but the longer “airship” balloons work best)
  • 1 long piece of kite string (about 10-15 feet long)
  • 1 plastic straw
  • Tape

 

Method:  

1. Tie one end of the string to a chair, doorknob, or any other support.

2. Put the other end of the string through the straw.

3. Pull the string tight and tie it to another support in the room.

4. Inflate the balloon (but do not tie it). Pinch the end of the balloon and tape it to the straw. Now you’re ready to launch!

5. Let go and watch the rocket fly!

 

Results:  

My group set up the activity on chairs, carefully following the steps. Unfortunately, the rocket didn’t move from its spot at first. We experimented with different chair angles and balloon sizes. After much trial and error, we finally managed to get it to move halfway. Despite not achieving our original goal, we experienced a sense of satisfaction in our efforts and teamwork.

 

Picture:

Our piece of straw was short, but if you have a long straw, it will probably work best.

Force – Science Class

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog. I’m here to share what we learned in science class today. We learnt a bit about the topic of force, which is such a fundamental concept in physics. In addition to our exploration of force, we also had a project focused on the legendary scientist Isaac Newton. I found this project particularly intriguing, as Newton’s contributions to science have had such a profound impact on our understanding of the physical world. As part of the project, we researched and answered a series of questions about Newton’s life, his groundbreaking discoveries, and the laws of motion he formulated. It was incredible to see how his work laid the groundwork for so much of modern science.

I truly enjoyed learning about Newton, and I completed the project in class alongside my classmates, which made the experience even more enriching. The discussions we had and the insights we shared created a collaborative atmosphere that helped deepen our understanding of the subject.

In this blog post, I’ll include my slideshow on Isaac Newton, as well as the key points we were tasked with copying down during our lesson. I hope you find this information as enlightening as I did. Enjoy!

What is force?

A force can be a push or a pull

Forces make things happen, by changing the…

  1. Speed of the object
  2. Direction of movement of the object
  3. Size and shape of the object.

Heat – Science class

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog. Today, we continued our exploration of heat, focusing on concepts such as temperature and the distinction between hot and cold. Although we didn’t conduct experiments, we had engaging discussions, examined images and wrote the answer to the picture whether it’s hot, warm, cool or cold. As we explored these ideas, we connected them to everyday experiences, enhancing our understanding of heat’s impact on our lives. Thank you for joining me, and stay tuned for more insights on this fascinating topic. Enjoy!

Heat

  • Heat is the energy that is in everything.
  • Hot air goes up and cold air goes down.

Ways to keep heat inside

  • Heatpump
  • Closing windows and doors
  • Blanket
  • Curtins

More about heat

  • Heat is a form of energy.
  • Objects are made up of molecules, and heat energy is the movement of the molecules.
  • Heat can be transferred from one object to another.
  • Cooler objects absorb the heat energy from warmer objects.
  • The Sun gives Earth most of its energy.

Questions

 How to Recognise When You’re Hot?

1. Physical Sensations:
– Feeling stuffy or uncomfortable
– Increased perspiration, especially on the forehead, palms, and back

2. Environmental Indicators:
– High temperatures outside or in an enclosed space
– Humidity levels are making the air feel thick

3. Emotional Responses:
– Irritability or agitation due to discomfort
– Difficulty concentrating

 

Differences Between Being Too Hot and Just Warm

1. Discomfort Level:
– Too Hot: Intense discomfort that might make you feel dizzy or fatigued
– Warm: Comfortable with a slight ease, manageable temperatures

2. Physical Reactions:
– Too Hot: Excessive sweating, flushed skin
– Warm: Light perspiration, feeling snug

3. Behavioural Signs:
– Too Hot: Seeking shade or air conditioning, reluctance to engage in physical activities
– Warm: Enjoying outdoor activities, wearing light clothing

 

Signs Someone Might Be Cold

1. Physical Reactions:
– Shivering: Involuntary muscle contractions to generate heat
– Goosebumps: Skin reacting to cold temperatures

2. Skin Colour Changes:
– Pale Skin Tone: Skin may look white or grey
– Blue or Purple Hues: Particularly in extremities (fingers, toes)

3. Other Symptoms:
– Numbness: Loss of feeling in fingers or toes
– Withdrawal Behaviour: Seeking warmth, pulling away from cold environments

Temperature

  • Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness.
  • We can measure temperature with a thermometer/
  • Temperature can be measured in CELSIUS it FAHRENHEIT ( American )
  • In NZ, we use CELSIUS to measure temperature. You might hear on the news the temperature for the day in Celsius.
  • The normal temperature for a human body is 36.5 degrees Celsius.

Thermometer

  • The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
  • The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius.

Activity –

We will get given a picture and I will be writing if they are hot, warm or cold, and why.

 

Cold: I can tell this person is cold because they are shivering and blowing on their hands to generate heat. Despite wearing thick clothing, they likely feel cold in their hands since they are not wearing gloves.

 

Warm: The child is in warm water, and the sun is shining brightly on his skin. He feels relaxed, which is why I think it is warm, not hot.

 

Warm: The dog feels warm because he is snug in his blanket, which keeps him heated. He is not cold, as he would be shivering and curled up if he were.

 

Cold: It is cold outside because it is snowing, with snow everywhere, on the roof, on the ground, on the trees, and all around.

 

Hot: This is hot because I can see the pot on the stove, ready to boil. The presence of bubbles on the pot indicates that it is boiling.

 

Warm: It feels warm because the cat is sitting on the wall heater, which radiates heat into the surroundings.

 

Temperature and keeping warm

We have various effective methods to keep warm, one of the most common being the way we utilise clothing to trap our body heat. When we bundle up in cosy layers, the fabric acts like a barrier, insulating our body warmth and preventing it from dissipating into the cold air surrounding us. Similarly, the installation of thick, well-made curtains can significantly enhance the warmth of a room, they operate as a protective shield that keeps the cosy air inside while blocking out the chill that seeps through windows. By creating this barrier, both our clothing and these heavy curtains work in tandem to maintain a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, ensuring that we can enjoy our spaces even when the temperatures drop outside.

Thanks, hope you found this informative and interesting
