End of Extension

2020 is coming to an end. It was my first time being in Extension Class. I would like to think of it as an opportunity to be thankful for. I give many thanks to Mrs Langitupu for giving me the opportunity. I have a few highlights for this year.

My favourite highlight for this year would be the year 7&8 Extension Trip to KMPG. Some of KPMG's team took us around the KMPG building for a tour. We made christmas cards, decorations and gifts. We ate some nice food, my favourite food would've been the chocolate muffin :))

Pt England's Art Exhibition

Today Pt England School had an art exhibition. All of the classes had to make art and put it up in their classes. 

First team we visted was team four. Team 4 drew different types of polyneisan patterns. Each pattern had a little description about what that pattern sumbolises. I saw alot of Niuean, Tongan, Maori, Samoan and Cook Island patterns. My favourite ployneisan pattern's were drew by Ezekiel, I say this because of the detail he put in his drawings.

We then made our way to Team 1. Team one looked at differnt types of art, they looked at Pablo Picasso's shape art and Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Team 1 mainly looked at art with colour. They recreated different piece of artworks and used different artist's methods.

Team 2 looked at cubism potrait, Pablo Picasso, Indian elephants and rangoli pattern's. They created different pieces of art works by using Pablo Picasso's  shape method.

Who was Kate Sheppard and what did she do ???

 Kate Sheppard was a protester for ‘Women’s rights’. She was born on 10 March 1847 and died on 13 July 1934. She fought for New Zealand women’s rights to vote. Kate Sheppard was born in the UK but later on left to permanently live in New Zealand. 

 

The ‘Women's suffrage’ protest was a famous protest held in New Zealand. It was first held in the 19th century. The protest was held to give New Zealand women the right to vote. It took a few petitions for ‘Women’s Suffrage’ to be successful in 1893. 

 

Kate Sheppard travelled around New Zealand for 6 years. Her first petition failed in 1891 but she tried again. Another petition was held in 1892 but failed yet again. In 1893 she collected more than 32,000 peoples signatures for her petition, it was taken to Parliament House in a wheelbarrow.

 

In the early 1800s women had restricted roles, that changed in 1893 when New Zealand became the first self-governing country to give women the right to vote on the 19th of september, in 1893. 

 

Kate Sheppard was a really good leader who fought for New Zealand Women’s rights to vote and have a full role in society.

How are cows bad for the einvironment?

How are cows bad for the environment?

Introduction:

Have you ever thought about eating less dairy? O0r did you know cows are bad for the environment? Some people don't eat dairy at all because they know cows flatulence, fertilizer and cutting down trees are bad for the environment.

Fertilizer:

In order to grow grass, farmers use fertilizer. Fertilizer is a chemical that helps make grass grow faster. When it rains, the fertilizer flows into streams and rivers, causing algae to overgrow. The algae will then take in all the oxygen and trap in the heat causing everything to die in the river. Using fertilizer is one of the causes of water pollution.

Flatulence:

When cows eat and drink, they are most likely to pee/poo, burp and fart. When cows pee/poo, burp and fart, it releases methane gas into the atmosphere. The methane gas then traps in the heat from the sun causing climate change. Cows flatulence contributes to climate change more than you think.

Cutting Down Trees:

Dairy farmers have to cut down trees in order to produce milk from the cows. When dairy farmers have forested land, they cut down the trees to have more space for cows and grow more grass. Growing grass faster needs fertilizer, and more grass leads to more flatulence. 3.5 to 7 billion trees are cut down every year for cattle.

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, cows are bad for the environment due to using fertilizer, their flatulence and cutting down trees. Cows contribute to climate change more than you think, so next time you go to the shop to buy milk, consider buying less than you would normally buy.

Te whare Tapa Wha: Reflection for The Week

One area of TWTW that you feel you have done well at. (How? Why? What you did?)

I feel I have done well in Taha Tinana (Physical). I say this because I improved in Netball Training, taking less breaks during a warmup run of about 2 kilometers. There was also a netball game on Tuesday where I left the court feeling bad, rather than on Thursday I left the court feeling proud of myself.

What is one area you would like to work on this coming week? What needs to happen? What changes do I need to make?

I would like to work on Taha Whanau (Family & Social). I need to socialize with my family more. Spending time with my family more and talking with them and seeing how they are doing. Seeing if they need any help.

W.A.L.T: Write about one area of TWTW that you feel you have done well at.

Why we should not move to another planet !

        Why we should not move to another planet !

Moving to another planet is a big risk for us humans to take. There have been other planets that have water on it and looks promising to live on, but however, if we were to move to another planet there would be many consequences. Gliese 581g was the first earth-like planet to be found orbiting its star.

What might happen if we were to go on a trip to another planet. One of the consequences is we may run out of petrol. Another life suitable planet may be many lightyears away. 1 light year is around 9.5 trillion km which will take a few years for us to travel. So ideally it is really not possible for us to travel to Gliese 581g at the moment. 

Although it is currently impossible for us to travel to another earth-like planet, if humanity still lives for many more years, and the technology improves 100x times better, there may be a chance to travel and live on another earth-like planet.
