The national animal of Malaysia is the endangered Malayan tiger. I would want to go to Malaysia because of its landscapes, the beaches, the weather, and much more that I would like to do, see and learn about. In Malaysia I would like to visit the capital which is Kuala Lumpur. I will travel in a car or train. 

Task 1 - Summer learning Tasks

Malaysia
- 2 reasons why you have chosen this country
I chose Malaysia because it seems like a interesting country, I've heard of it before but I would like to know and learn more about Malaysia's beautiful country.

Hangi - moment in time

It was a light, sunny cloudy day. There are many people that are gathered around the hangi, it looks to me that there are students and teachers that might have been on a school trip to see the hangi happening live. There are seven men that are carrying a steel open cage that is filled with food. Smoke is coming from the pit which is cooked on heated stones with taro leaves on top.

All of the food is wrapped in tin foil to keep it from burning and getting dirty. On the side of the hangi there is a big pile of burnt coal that looks like ashes. There are numerous amounts of food that are being cooked. It looks like pork, chicken, vegetables and much more. The students and teachers are standing on the side observing the 7 strong men that are laying down a big pile of food in the pit of stones and taro leaves. In the background there is a turquoise coloured van with a trailer that is hooked onto the back of the van, it looks to me as if the trailer was used to hold the big silver caged food. Trees sway side to side, as the wind blows hard against the peoples faces, and the smoke bursts out from beneath food in the pit.

This is my hangi moment in time that I have done on the image above. I worked with Ferah and Karla and we did a collaborative writing together. This is our collaborative work - Collaborative work

Rower - Moment in time

It is a scorching hot day, blue clouds are bright as blue the sun is out and shining upon the ocean water. In the distance I can see a tropical looking island with a grassy mountain peak. There are two men that seem to be wearing black life jackets with yellow zips and they are both in yellow kayaks.

In this image I can see that one of the men got attacked by a pink salmon like octopus. He has a hard grip on his paddle and is using it to try and distance himself from the octopus. There is a big splash of water as the seal rushes up from beneath the water and tosses the octopus to the man in the kayak. It seems to me that a giant octopus got thrown from the brown shimmering seal towards the man on the bright yellow coloured kayak, and the man was using his paddle to defend himself from the octopus.

Behind all of the tragedy happening, there’s a man that is also in a yellow kayak. It looks like he wasn’t paying much attention to what had happened. Afterwards the man might have been in a big shock. I can see the tentacles and suckers that look like suction cups on the octopus. It looks like the man had gotten hit by the octopus. It got thrown by the seal right towards the man than suddenly he got hit on the face by the large sized octopus. The two guys in the kayaks both must have got a big shock when the octopus leaped out of the sea out of nowhere.

The person who took the photo/video must have got a big fright from that as well. In this photo I can see a big blob of water as the shimmering seal popped its head out of the water, as the water splashed onto his face he could taste sea salt water. The seal has white long thin whiskers and a big shiny brown body. The octopus has enormous long tentacles, and a long slimy body shaped like an oval.


My Group's collaborative piece of writing
In my group we had to describe the above picture and we did a joint Moment in Time piece of writing together. In my group I worked with Melianna and havana. This is our collaborative work

Child Bride

Child Bride

Weddings are supposed to be a memorable day, when you celebrate all the good things and not 
the bad. Celebrating the bride and groom on their special day should be full of happiness, however 
in this image it seems to me that this bride does not look happy and joyful at all. I can tell by her 
face that she doesn't look happy in any kind of way. In fact she looks like she is scared and 
terrified about making a commitment to her marriage with an elderly man.

In the background it seems to me that this marriage is taking place on some sort of bridge, which 
has locks on it called “Love locks”. The bride or bride to be is holding a bunch of beautiful colourful 
flowers, and she is wearing a bright floral white dress that gives you a hint that she is getting married.The man next to the woman is wearing a black and white tuxedo, with a flower on his left outside 
pocket. The woman looks nervous and depressed all in one, but the man of course looks like he is 
getting on with his day and he looks quite happy.

The background slowly fades away as the magnificent bright burning sun shines upon the bride and 
groom. The elderly man looks as if he’s in his sixties, yet he is marrying a young beautiful girl that is way too young for him to marry. As the elderly man gives the girl a grin on his face, the girl’s 
expression on her face tells you that she is horrified, and looks kind of scared and afraid of this man.

Is is right is it fair? For an older man to marry an underaged beautiful girl. In my opinion, no I think 
that this is all wrong, unless the younger woman would want to marry an older man than that is 
totally up to her. In this image this girl looks unhappy and devastated, so I think that she was forced 
by the man to get married to him. Maybe he wants someone young to marry him so then in the
future when he starts getting old she will look after him and do everything for him.  

Making butter - Kitchen Chemistry Experiment

For this experiment we were trying to make butter out of cream and salt. Out of all the experiments that we have done, making butter would be my overall favourite one that we did. I really enjoyed this experiment and I really did learn a lot about how to make butter just using cream and salt.

Popping candy - Kitchen Chemistry Experiment

For this experiment we had added popping candy to different types of liquid. Afterwards we had to see the reaction that the popping candy would do if we added it into the liquid. 

Milk - Science Kitchen Chemistry

For this past week we have been doing science. Science is really fun and we all learned a lot of things about science that we didn't know before. For this experiment we had to see the reaction of what the detergent does to the milk and food colouring. 

Michael Jackson - DLO Reading

For Term 3 we have been learning about Michael Jackson and Conrad Murray. Conrad Murray is Michael Jackson's personal physician and on this presentation it is about Michael Jackson and Conrad Murray's relationship and it talks about their personal life as well and it also talks about how Michael Jackson died and how Conrad Murray is involved in Michael Jackson's Death. 

Poupou Art Reflection

Poupou Art Reflection

7. What would you do next time to improve your Poupou artwork?

I Would take my time with colourings so it’s not so messy.

Daffodil Reflection

For 2-3 weeks we have been working on our daffodil art. I really enjoyed making these daffodils and I really enjoyed going outside and using crayons to scrap onto paper, and all of them turned out nice and it all had a lot of bright colours and patterns. My favourite part about making these Daffodils was putting the daffodils together and making my border. We first started with 3 papers we then had to go outside and use crayons and scrap colours onto the papers, than afterwards we used dye and dyed our three papers yellow, orange and green. Then after we also had to get another 3 papers and dye it any colour we would like, and we used those 3 papers for our border and our vase.

Abortion

For Term 3 as a senior hub we have been focusing on "is it right is it fair". We had to present something  based on our main topic, and I chose Abortion. What do you think? Is it right is it fair for woman to have an Abortion?. Here's a presentation on Abortion and what me and my group found out about this topic.

Gathering Weather Temperatures

My Interpretation

Wednesday and Thursday was the highest temperatures in Whangarei. It was 15
degrees celsius. On Monday and Wednesday were the coldest with 6 degrees celsius.

On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, were the hottest days because it was
14 degrees celsius. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were the coldest days, which
was 3 degrees celsius.In Whangarei Monday and Tuesday had the the same temperature with 14 degrees celsius and Wednesday and Thursday also had the same temperature with 15 degrees celsius. For Whangarei there was a pattern which the the numbers kept going up for high but never went lower, for low the numbers were all mixed and was different temperatures everyday. In Hokitika the temperatures were all also mixed.

Whangarei High -  Mode

The number that appears the most is 14 and 15 degrees celsius

Whangarei Low - Mode

The number that appears the most is 8 degrees celsius

Hokitika High - Mode

The number that appears the most is 14 degrees celsius

Hokitika Low - Mode

The number that appears the most is 3 degrees

Whangarei High - Average

74 divided by 5 = 14.8 degrees celsius

Whangarei Low - Average

35 divided by 5 = 7 degrees celsius

Hokitika High - Average

68 divided by 5 = 13.6 degrees celsius

Hokitika Low - Average

13 divided by 5 = 2.6 degrees celsius

Whangarei High - Range
16 degrees celsius minus 14 degrees celsius = 2 degrees celsius

Whangarei Low - Range

8 degrees celsius minus 6 degrees celsius = 2 degrees celsius

Hokitika High - Range

14 degrees celsius minus 12 degrees celsius = 2 degrees celsius

Hokitika Low - Range

3 degrees celsius minus 2 degrees celsius = 1 degrees celsius

The Mintie Challenge

The Mintie Challenge

My Interpretation

Sayonara had the longest measurement with 102cm. I think she got the
highest because she was patient with herself, she took her time and was
focused. She ripped tiny thinner pieces to make the wrapper longer. Nigel
had the shortest wrapper which was 36.3cm. He got the shortest wrapper
because he wasn't patient, he rushed it and ripped big pieces of the
wrapper which would have made it shorter than longer. Sayonara and
Zariah had similar measurements. Zariah was 3cm away from having the
same measurement as Sayonara which was quite close. Zariah’s Mintie
wrapper They both took their time and were really focused.

The Average Measurement was - 62cm I was above the Average with
84.5cm.

There is 8 students Mintie Wrappers that were above the average
measurement.

There is 13 students Mintie Wrappers that were below the average
measurement.

The Mode was - that the 40’s and 50’s where the most common
numbers that appeared the most.

The Range between the highest measurement and the lowest
measurement was - 102 - 36.3 = 65.7/66cm

Room 1 Maths class - Ethnicity/Culture

My Interpretation

In this class more of the students are Samoan. Less people are Filipino. Tongan and other have the
same amount of people. Four people were Tongan or fitted under the other category. Other includes:
Indian, Canadian, European, and Chinese. The Samoan category has a total of eight people. The
Filipino category was the lowest. It has a total of two people. In this area (Mt Roskill) there are more
Pacific Islanders than other cultures, and also there is a big amount of Islanders that are Christian
(Catholic) that go to church here at Christ the King, so this could be some reasons why we have more
people that are Samoan than other Cultures.

Elephants

This is my presintation about Elephants. For reading in my class we had to do a presintation on Elephants and do a DLO (Digital learning object). First we had to make a Report on Elephants then we had to make it into a presintation, and I used Prezi. Click on the Image to get to my Elephant DLO

Values - Prayers

For Religious Education we had to make our own prayers of the faithful and we had to make it up and it had to be a prayer related to our four values. We also used The C.T.K Way poster to help us with our prayers and this is how my prayer of the faithfuls turned out.

Information Report on Elephants

Introduction

Elephants are the world’s largest mammals which are animals that have fur
and live on land. Indian and African Elephants don’t have a lot common. 
African Elephants live in the continent of Africa and Indian Elephants also known as 
Asian Elephants live in the continent of Asia. African Elephants are much bigger than 
Asian Elephants. Baby Elephants are called calves and like all mammals they drink off 
their mother's milk.They are also hairy.

Special Features

Elephants grow their tusks for their entire life.They use their tusks to dig and to fight with. 
Elephants use their ears to cool off. They have poor eyesight but an amazing sense of 

smell and hearing. Baby calf Elephants are 2-3 feet tall.

Diet

Elephants are herbivores that are animals that feeds on plants.

All Elephants eat twigs, bark, leaves and fruit. They eat more than their Appetite. 

Elephants weigh upto 12,000 pounds and they drink upto 30 gallons of water everyday.

Family

There are two different types of Elephants which are African Elephants and Asian 
Elephants. Male Elephants are called bulls. When the Male Elephants grow older they go 
their separate ways and do things by themselves. African Elephants have wrinkly skin but 
Indian Elephants don't have as much wrinkly skin as African Elephants do. The Indian Elephants
are much smaller than the African Elephants, they also have smaller ears and have a 

hump back.

Endangerment

One hundred Elephants are killed per day, and there is up to one hundred Elephants 

that are being slaughtered at least once a day. Indian Elephants population is on the tip 
of the cliff for extinction. This is due to people killing the elephants to get their tusks for ivory, 
then they trade the ivory to get money. If Elephants tusks break they can grow back, 
only if the root of the Elephants tusks isn't damaged. Poaching is more aimed at Male 
Asian Elephants because only the male elephants carry tusks that grow big. Poaching and
killing these Elephants is mostly done in Africa.

Conclusion

In my opinion I think Poaching should stop immediately, people should stop and think 

before going and killing these animals. People need to think about this before killing 
harmless animals/Elephants. We need to admire these beautiful and wonderful animals, 
they do no harm to us so why kill them. The elephant population is under threat. In time we 
will have no elephants to admire and view if this poaching does not stop.

Algebra Art - Romero Britto

Making a sequential pattern -

Romero Britto

1. Are you pleased with your artwork? Why / why not?

Yes because It looked amazing after I had completed my artwork,

and it had a lot of different patterns, warm colours and it was really 

fun to do.

2. What was challenging when you did your sequential pattern artwork?

It was quite hard to paint the small patterns, it was challenging because the
majority patterns were all tiny so it was hard to try and paint without
going over the bold lines.

3. What could you adapt / modify with your artwork?

I would add much bigger and better patterns so it would be 

easier to paint. If you were to look from far it would be nice 

and bold.

4. Who / what helped you with your sequential pattern artwork?

Some of the presentation on senior hub site that Miss Paton 

put up, I also searched up some of Romero Britto's artwork 

and I got some ideas from it and I added it into my piece of art.

5. If you were to teach a new person how to create your artwork under your
theme (Romero Britto) what would be the teaching points / tips?

• Create lots of sequential patterns

• Do patterns that are based around what your current theme
• Repeat some of the colours you use
• Use warm and bright colours.
• Make your patterns nice and bold for others to see

6. What have you learnt about this process?

To do big and bold patterns. Be more creative with what patterns 

I do. Also to take my time when I paint so I don’t ruin my artwork. 

Paint within the lines.
