Polynesian Magic

Polynesians from the east were the first to set foot on Aotearoa. They came on single outriggers or double hulls,which were 15-20 meters long. Once they had stepped on Aotearoa they were soon called Maoris.

Trained navigators steered the canoes because they knew to follow the birds in the day, and stars by night to find this new land. They had to travel through the pacific ocean. But only a few people survived the stormy weather and the battling seas, just to find the place as we know it as Aotearoa.

Tarawera Reflection

This term IN extension we have be studying the Mt Tarawera eruption that happened 100 years ago while we were progressing through this event this what I thought were Interesting Positive Minus (PMI)

Positive

1.Making the entire movie from scratch and detailing it

2.Acting as an old man and saying lines over and over again

3.Helping a to get the costumes ready for our recording

4.Putting on make up that was really funny

This year in Extension we have been studying the Tarawera Eruption that happened over a 100 years ago which caused the whole town of Wairoa to be abandon and alot of people died in the eruption. Also tons were homeless if they survived and only a little bit of people made it through this devastating eruption.This was all so sad.

Minus

1.Taking too long to get ready

2.Having to write the script from scratch like most people having too

3.When we did our Green Screen it didn't come out properly and we still have to use the same Green Screening we did.

When this disastrous event occurred all the people of Wairoa were never alerted that Mt Tarawera will erupt. It all happened on a starlit night no one was worrying about anything but there children and the food that was on the fire outside.

Interesting

1.Making the film with my friends

2.Doing a Green Screen but then it didn't come out properly

3.Setting out the scene and were we are going to record

All of this to me was really interesting we had the chance to do this fun activity and for letting us use all of the things that we could do and helping us when we were in tough spots.

Also Thanks to Mrs Tele'a for letting us experience this amazing Event.

Here is a bit of the task my group did (Seini-Mino,Me,Joshua) Hopefully you like it So sit back and relax!! PLEASE COMMENT!!

DZIAH 2.0

Did you know that when Dizah broke up they all made new groups such as Dziah 2.0 and the Funk Monkeys and they mad New T-shirts and now they face each other to see who's skills are better who do you vote for?

I vote for Dziah 2.0 because they have people that dress cool and flashy and they all have mean eyes. Before they use too have J Willams a famous singer but now they only have good dancers and no one famous anymore but they all have good talent but do they have what it takes to beat the on the only "JABBAWOKEEZ" and become one of the best dance crews in the world they are the on the only "DZIAH 2.0"

Scrumptious Hokey Pokey

A huge wonder of the world is making a tantalizing delicacies called Hokey Pokey.

Mmm……Fat food including Sugar dissolved in a instant including golden-syrup as it was heated in the pot. Baking Powder was added to the mixture, and a chemical reaction occurred. The Hokey Pokey started to froth up and expand at the same time it looked like Slimy viscous goo.

"PEEVE....." A fart effect wafted in the air as masses of Hokey Pokey bursted out of the frying pan. This experience was insane!!!!! It was as if the Hokey Pokey limited to be eaten and at the same time burst out of the frying pan.

We went to the kitchen, stunned as we were in for a phenomenal surprise. We clicked when, in just a flash we would create a wonderful food treat, that involved volcanic like equipment or other things to do with that. We made a long time favourite of mine, Hokey Pokey.

We waited for the Hokey Pokey to cool down. It was now a hard,brittle solid mass. All the gas bubbles caused porous.When it cooled down Mr Hunia had to transfer it too a saucepan or it would of been stuck to the bottom of the pot. It didn't look very nice when we were making it but once it had finished it would taste Delicious

Similar to lava, oozing hokey pokey can literally pot. 'WOW!!!!!!' Also it can become hard and brittle in just minutes.'AMAZING!!!!!' Hokey Pokey is scolding hot, which can probably melt a total human hand. That is scary but at the same time very very yuck but the sound of Hokey Pokey makes my tummy rumble.

Under Water Explosion

After A Tsunami

The damages after tsunami’s hit it can be very fatal many lives will be lost. All the buildings would be demolished and survivors trapped under rubble. Cars just have been tossed like little toys.

Volcano's formed

Volcanoes are formed by all the lava, that comes through cracks in the ground.Magma under the ground heat’s up, and goes through cracks in the earth. When the lava dries it forms land and volcano's!!

Types Of Volcano's

There are 3 Types of volcano's There is the Shield Volcano, which is are mostly active and dormant. An there is the Cinder Cone volcano which are most dormant now. So that leaves us with the composite volcano it is the most dangerous or is it?

Inside The Earth

Under the earth crust there are 4 layers,the crust,mantle,Outer core,Inner core.There are fractures in the earth crust like a huge jigsaw puzzle that has been put back together in big chunks

jabbawockeez

The best dancing team in the world is the one the on JABBAWOCKEEZ Also they all just wanted to be one person with different abilities and talent for example all of them look exactly the same but just have different ways of dancing one is the best break dancer and another is good at krumping,puzzling is another members talent. Also they always win the biggest dance battle the are even in some movies. Plus they have their own T-shirt but it was Dziah's idea first and they are another dance team that participates in big challenges too. Another team that I know that entered was SAS(Sweet And Sour) they are also a big group that performs like the Jabbawokeez. They all show off there talent to the world and see how win's!!!.

Active earth

This term at Pt England school we are studying Volcanoes and what makes them erupt. Our topic is 'Active earth' This is all about volcanoes in most places volcanoes are all over the place.

Also what I have learn today is that the plates under the earth,when they collide they cause earthquakes and sometimes volcanoes erupting. Sometimes the volcanoes leave heaps of ash in the air.

Also some eruptions can take out a whole town or village and also can kill up to 60,00 people.
