Parihaka
Hi guys welcome back to another blog post.
Today I am going to be showing you what I have been doing in my hurumanu. I've been learning about Parihaka ,Parihaka is a place in between mount Taranaki and the Tasman sea in the north island. I have heaps of question that I had to answer about what i know about Parihaka her you go.
What events lead up to Parihaka being established? Parihaka wanted to establish a community for everyone to be equal and to have peace in the world that they were living on land they believed the government had given them.. Then the government went back on their word, so the people protested peacefully, but they were still arrested.
What were the ideas behind setting up Parihaka? They wanted a safe place to live and to have a peaceful life before the lions/British troops came and ruined their life forever. They also wanted to
Who established Parihaka? The people who established parihaka was Te whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi they established Parihaka in the early 1860s.
Where is Parihaka located? Parihaka is located between Mount Taranaki and the Tasman Sea in the North Island of New Zealand
When did the invasion of Parihaka occur? It occurred on the fourth of November of 1881 about 644 soldiers and 1,000 settlers volunteers from all around the country.
How do you think the people of Parihaka were feeling when the troops entered their village? It said in the Video that they weren't fazed about it, stood their ground and waited for the troops to come and invade where they lived. I don't know how they were feeling but what I can say is when you know that people are coming to kill you, you are going to be worried and scared.
Do you think stories about the events of 5th November 1881 were reported on by the media at the time? No, I don’t
I don't because this was a very long time ago and I don't think that cameras were about back then and they had the technology to film it. But then again there could have been newspapers and letters that might have been sent to the mayor.
How long were Te Whiti and Tohu imprisoned? Where? What did they intend to do when they returned to Parihaka? They flew into Dunedin and stayed in jail for 1 year and then got let out of prison.
What was the impact on Māori when the New Zealand Company and other representatives of "The Crown" confiscated or purchased land very cheaply from Māori? What happened to Māori who lost their land? Where and how did they live?
How do you think the New Zealand wars impacted on iwi and groups of people who were no longer able to live on their Whenua? The parihaki who had fought the Crown lost very substantial areas of land. Under the New Zealand Settlements the parihaka would have felt sad that they couldn’t live with there family they also would have felt angry at the people that killed there family.
What does the word PEACE mean to you? What is "passive resistance? What does the phrase mean? The word peace means that there is no one fighting or harming each other and people are free to do stuff that they want to do and there are no disagreements. Passive resistance means that when people try to attack you try to use passive resistance and not fight them or when someone tries to arrest you try to use a non-violent way of refusing.
What other ways are there to solve major issues between people/countries that do not use violence as a way of controlling others or solving problems? Try to talk to them and find out the reason why they are fighting each other, try to prove that the other person didn’t do it.
Who are some of the other world leaders who have used passive resistance? What was their cause and how is it peaceful? Jacinda adern was a really good world leader when the coronavirus first started coming into the country she put us straight into lockdown even though the rest of the world was still spreading it. Now we don't have much of the coronavirus and we are allowed out of our houses but we still have to be mindful that it is still out their.

Gold Rush Fact:
Hi guys welcome back to another blog post.
Today I'm going to be showing you what I have done in the last 2 periods. Yesterday I made a blog about what I knew about the Gold Rush. Well today I have learnt some more thing about it that I would like to share with you. Here are some facts that I have read and put into my own words. Hope you enjoy.
People from different places around NZ rushed overnight to get to Otago for their share of gold. Some people even came over from Australia and also in the North Island of NZ
Around 1861 Denidin became NZ most popular town because people were rushing through their to get to the goldfields and heavy hit places were all the gold was being found.
During the gold rush people lived in caves in tremendous weather with only 1 blanket. They also just lived in a tent that was near by some of the gold fields and rivers.
Gabriel Read was the first man to find gold in a valley and they name it Gabriel's Gully. He was one of the richest men around when the gold rush was happening.
People from all around the world had come to NZ to go get gold from Gabriel's Gully and rivers nearby. NZ was Packed!!
The Chinese hear about the gold rush in 1879 and than quickly rushed to were the gold rush was happening and worked their for a while.
The miners didn't really like the Chinese because they didn't know them or who they were. People from England had never seen a Chinese person before this and they didn't like them because they weren't the same as they were. That is what Discrimination is and now day it is not acceptable.
I hope you guys enjoyed this. Have a nice rest of the day and week. BYE

Market Day
Hi guys welcome back to another blog post.
Today I am going to be going through a couple of thing that I have been doing this last few weeks. Market day is were you have to make a business and sell the products that you make. Next time I do this I am going to rethink the group that I am working with. Some of us worked really hard and some slaked off.
It cost us all 20 dollars that we had to pay back to the school. That was for a Bucket, Drinks, Lollies and Popsicle sticks.
We made $32.50 on the market day from doing a mystery game. Our total profit for the day was $12.50 witch I dont think is that bad.
I didn't really expect to make this much money because our group wasn't really organised and we weren't ready for the day.
I dont think that we made that much money because we weren't ready for the day and other people had better ideas than us.
I hope you enjoyed this blog please do not hesitate to comment have a nice rest of the day and Holiday.

Mission to Mars
Hi guys welcome back to another blog.
Today I am going to be talking about what I have been doing. I have been reading an article about life on mars. after that we had a set of questions that we had to answer that the answers were in the article about the life on Mars story.
Here is my Answers from the questions.
When can a mission to Mars (or from Mars) happen? Why? When Mars is closest to the earth. The next time it will be in 2033.
What are geological features of Mars?Mars is known
The reason that Mars is red is because of the Iron Oxide on the planet.
What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars?
They use a machine called moxie which uses power to make carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen
If it doesn’t rain on Mars, where does the water come from?
You can't find water on mars but carbon dioxide freezes to make a thick layer of ice which melts into water
How will people get food on Mars? What is a possible solution?
Every 24 moth a supplier comes with 5 tones of food and delivers it but is you wanted to grow crops you would need special nutrient rich water and it would need to be warmer

Hero And Villain
It was a really hot day at Pleasant Park and there were 3 people left in the game. They could smell the gas from the petrol station. They could see they freshly cut grass from the rugby field
It was on, the pressure was dragging the three players down. It was a 2 vs 1. Guess who was the last person on their own. Yes, Ninja. He was ready to win the game but this game wouldn't go down without a fight. There were also Fresh and Lazarbeam In a duo. This was a really good spot for Fresh and Lazarbeam because they could revive each other if they got knocked. But if ninja died he wouldn't get knocked, he would just lose the game. This was the ultimate sweat battle, it was the two memers vs the one sweat, the memers weren't going to lose this but neither was the sweat.
No one had landed at Pleasant Park so this was a really good position because they could find heals and they could find some better loot. This was the last zone so this was the final opportunity For them to win. If they got caught in a storm then they would lose some of their health which is not really good because if they don't fight and engage each other then the storm will come in and make a little hole which they won't be able to get out of and they will start losing health and then eventually die. Laser beam and fresh doghouse leading all of the stuff and fresh carried some heels when a laser beam got some guns. Ninja was over at the other house on the other side of the landmark which was a modern house which had some cars outside of it.
They were both minding their own business until there were some gunshots fired. They both started to panic and they memers team had the advantage again. This wasn't good for ninja because they could see him wherever he was because they were on height and looking down. They were getting really tense because the storm was moving into the middle of the rugby field where there was a slurp fish sitting in the middle of nowhere they both rushed to it because they had no heals if the storm had touched them. So they both had rushed to it to get it but ninja was closest to it so he got it.
It was really intense but they managed not to make their game shake and fall into a million pieces. It was really tough but ninja had to eat this slurp fish because laserbeam and fresh tagging him from above it got him to a low health. This was the last circle and if ninja had any chances of winning he would have to make a move soon.
They would have to start fighting now otherwise the storm would come ipn and completely shut and then they had this bright idea laser beam had some really good guns with some heels and heaps of mats So Fresh said go into the storm and I will collect them at and the heels and the better guns, So they done that and then I wish just fresh vs Ninja.
Fresh and Ninja the 2 best players in the world about to go down remember they both had equal mats and both had decent guns and started to build up to high but the only way he could do it was by going into the storm. He had to risk it and there it was fresh and had pumped to the skull for 200 damage yes 200. There you go the look on his face was priceless on both sides. They are happy because ninja would want to go down to a random person he wanted to go down bye a best friend.
I Hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. If you have any ideas about this blog post I would really appreciate you commenting and giving me some precious advice. The thing that I am most proud of is completing it on time and doing it well.

Monologue
9.Pirate: Can I talk like a pirate? Ay, matie! Avast! Ahoy! Aye-aye, I can! Shiver me timbers! I can talk like a pirate better than any lily-livered, jelly-legged sea-goer that ever there once was! I says whatever I’ve got to say in a pirate way and if any bilge-sucking buccaneer says I don’t, I’ll cleave him to the brisket! I swear on Davy Jones’ Locker, to be a true blue pirate you’ve got to be able to load a cannon and fire it- but most important you’ve got to talk like a pirate!

NZ History
Today I'm going to be showing you what I've been doing and had a reminder 6 I've been doing history of the New Zealand country also known as Aotearoa. We had to write a summary of all of these questions of what we have been learning in a video so they gave information we had to write it down and then we had to create a summary of what we have written down of the questions. Here is my summary of the questions that I have been writing.
This time people were spying on them from Taranaki. The Maori also thought that the government was ready to attack them and they thought that they were spying on them at the same time. There were heaps of battles around 1860s and the moari didn't want to actually battle them. All of these battles were around the land but the Maori didn't want it to be around the land they just wanted to have their own land and for the British to leave them alone.
the British were stealing the land but the Maori didn't want them to because there was spirit and food in the land that they were trying to steal from them. So the maori were trying to make them go away. te kootei was sent to the chatham islands because he was causing trouble around Taranaki.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post have a nice rest of the day and week. Bye
