Week 2 Do now

Today this topic is about: Elephants are the greatest animal of all time and we either chose to agree or disagree with this statement why or why not.

I don't agree with the statement because elephants aren't the only greatest animals. There are plenty more different animals that seem great. The reason is that I don't seem to think much about if there is the greatest animal of all time, some animals have the most unique features than other types of animals for instance: Snakes, Frogs, Birds and etc.

So therefore I don't think elephants are the greatest animal all of time.

Mars Communication

Today for hurumanu the class did this about what we have done for the past few weeks. And what we had done was that we made our own groups and tryed to communicate with the other person by making either, Morse Code or using Flags.

My buddy Shania and me used morse code we had to draw on A2 pieces of paper there were two words to chose, the word was food or lost we chose food. And then one of us went down to the field and tryed to guess what it was. 

Mars Writing

Would you go to mars? And why?

For the last few weeks, we did some science and writing about what is happening with the Mars Rover and what is happening to it. And these are some facts about the Rover.

The Mars Rover is a main job to collet rock and soil samples. With the samples the rover will try bring them back to earth.

Mars helicopter is a technology demonstrastion on perseverance. Perseverance is currently undergoing their final assembly and checkout at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The Rover had launched in July 30th and it will land in Februay 18th 2021. The trip to will take 7 months and about 300 million miles, 480 million kilometers.

Conclusion / Summary

For my conclusion I think that it's really cool to know space things, like these because some people don't know these things and get to learn the interesting things and how they happen. 

Six Photos

For hurumanu we read a story about six photos and had to anwser some of these questions and put a paragrah for what was a interesting piece.

Six Photographs by Dylan Owen

What was the main message of this story? That photos can show you what you have been up to in the world and what you do.

The journal article looks at 6 different photos throughout NZ history. Re-read the paragraphs which match each photo and share 1 interesting fact for each photograph that you learned. 

Family of T.W Ferry If a person would move during the time the picture would come out blurry.	Māori at Parihaka During the nineteenth century, Māori had to adapt to Pākehā ways.	Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee To honour Queen Victoria’s rule, some of the girls are dressed in the national costumes of Scotland and Wales (British Empire).
Irini Kemara The moko kauae or chin tattoo was given to women of high rank.	Māori Farm at Winiata Taihape Back then, you first had to clear the land if you wanted a farm. You could chop the bush down  but fire was quicker.	Kitchen Interior by William Williams These guns and knives tell us a different story about our past, they may have been used for hunting or they were even used during the Wars.

Hurumanu Who are we

Today for our hurumanu-who are we, we read an article about 6 photos that were taken in the olden days back in the 1800s-1880s.
