Hurumanu Review: Last 8 weeks


Aim: The aim of this writing is to tell us readers of what we have been doing these past weeks or what we have been trying to tell you how we are catching up on work...

Throughout the year or a couple of terms, We have been doing work on an Ethical, Environmental, or a Social issue, for what you needed to do but for the past eight weeks we have been researching about our thing and either your thing was Environmental you had to do something about Global warming, or The Sea Pollution  or if you had an Ethical issue for that you would blog, make a game, use an app, or write a short creative story on a problem like Anti Bullying or Robots,
In that case, I am writing a story about Robots and why they are a problem for human society...

Everyone researched about there own problem, a friend of mine his problem was Environmental, Ocean Pollution and he has researched what types of stuff cause ocean pollution and stuff like that, I have researched stuff about Robots like when was the first robot born and what do you think the name of this first robot was... We have learned to make sure we know our problem and what we are going to do about it... We would research the robots and how to explain to the readers that there a few robots that are a problem,

A robot is flawless when they are in buildings that may have a harmable weapon inside, Robots are also used in factories to build things like cars, candy bars, and electronics.

What I think of these robots... they are not as I would have thought, I think that we do not need them but I think that we do need, For the physically disabled people, Robotic technology for robotic arms and robotic legs or just robotic limbs to help the people in need.

6 Unfamiliar words: Novel Study Chapter 9-12 Malala

Aim: The aim of this blog post was to get another blog post done about Malala Because this is the last blog post about our novel study on Malala. 


For this week's blog of the Malala novel study, I am doing an unfamiliar 6-word challenge/activity The six words will come from the, I am Malala Book: Teen Edition Retold By Malala For Her Own Generation version,

For this task, it will be the last and we are starting on a new book called Brando "Wild boy" Yelavich 

6 Unfamiliar words in the I Am Malala Book:
  • Page 63, Chapter 10, Word: Taliban,
The Taliban is a Malicious, Forceful group that held power over most of Afghanistan during the late 1990s, The word Taliban comes from tālib, "Student" in Arabic.

  • Page 66, Chapter 10, Word: Bhabi,
This may sound like your favorite toy but it actually means Sister-in-law for a countable noun, Sister-in-law meaning that is you have a brother & he gets married the person he gets married to is your sister-in-law or brother-in-law,

  • Page 66, Chapter 10, Word: Khaista,
Khaista is a Muslim boy name, name meaning in Urdu, so the Urdu language is the correct pronunciation, In English the name means Beautiful.
   

  • Page 67, Chapter 10, Word: Fazlalluhs,
Fazlallah also spelled as Fadallah, Fazlollah, Fazlullah, etc. is a male given name, also split into a few words Fadl and Allah's, meaning Bounty of God.

  • Page 73, Chapter 11, Word: Moniba,
It is basically a polite saying, of the Origins of Moniba, Meaning Thanks! M & the "M" meaning for mild and your gentle ways so Moniba is a name for the gentle, mild & polite.

  • Page 74, Chapter 11, Word: Pisho,
Pisho basically means cat or an act of doing something or marking something.

Optical illusions

Last week I was doing another Post for science about Optical illusions and lets see what I found out.

Aim:
I Will probably tell you how Optical illusions work
I can tell you why optical illusions are interesting

Method:
I will start by Telling you how all of the optical illusions work and why they are so freaky or to some people might be awesome or something like that.

Results: 

Right here
 Optical illusions are thing that put your mind to the test.  

This sweet video will be full of 
Optical illusions. 

Optical illusions are tricking your mind by what you are focusing on you could 
be focusing on in the middle 
of a dot and around it would be lines or circles moving around it.
your brain will be focusing on one thing the dot but at the corner of your eyes 
your brain will be picking up a little
bit more then you think when you look away.

The optical illusions are crazy mind mistakes that your mind messes up because it thinks of every thing its point of view.

The End of my journey for optical illusions.

What is MindMup?

The past week I chose a subject a activity it was all about MindMup and I made a MindMup explaining How, When, Why MindMups work and stuff like that.

Aim:
I wan't you to know what MindMup is.

Method:
I will tell you how it works and why you need to use it some times.
I will be saying the When, Where, Why, How and What] words about MindMup.

Results:   

How MindMup works is simple it works if you know what all the things on the top row is.
                             
                   1    2    3    4    5     6   7     8     9    10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24

The first five are all to do with adding and taking away ideas if you want to.

Six and Seven are about taking back what you did and getting it back from when you lost it.

Eight up to Fourteen are the decorating center that is were you can make everything sparkle you can change stuff like fonts, color of your box that put your ideas in and more. 

Fifteen to Eighteen are stuff like finding what idea you need to use if you have a lot of ideas on one MindMup.

Nineteen to Twenty four are about zooming in and out and the rest of them is just to make them all into one stack of ideas like a pack of cards. 

  Here is a Link to: MindMup 

Body languege

Aim:
I want to find out how to see body languege.

Method:
I will give someone a complement then I will ask them to give me a complement.
They will have to rather have to lie lie or they will be saying the truth.
Now I will know how you lie and how the facial exasperation will look like.


Results:
I ended up telling them what there emotions and how the felt listening.
I started to do other positions to sit and if he/she started to copy that means we were bonding.
Image result for mimicking
if they start to tilt there head when I am saying my thing then they are taking there time to actually listen to me. 
If I would tell them a question that has to do with there teachers and subjects then I would tell them that they are lying.
This is how to know what your friend or someone is doing when you are talking to them talking to you if you want to know what the feel when they are around you.

All about me

Kia ora my name is Nikora and I’m a year 7 at Hornby High School my teacher’s name is Whaea Raewyn in the weekends I like playing basketball and Esports just because it is fun to do.

I can work on tall tables really well probably because I can focus more. If I would ever want to get good at something as a kid I would want to get better Maths and Literacy because I think that I’m not very good at those subjects and to improve my behaviour.

HOOK- I am sorry Santa

Beginning
Once upon a time there was a little Gingerbread boy his name was Wilson and he is about fifthteen years old and he was in trouble a lot he did not get presents when he was absurd on christmas eve but he still believed in Santa so the next christmas eve and before that he tried to be good but he wasn’t as good as he could get so wilson got even more mental and ran off he remembered that santa lives in the north pole so he knew that he should travel there the next year so he did.

Middle
So on christmas eve Wilson got ready to go to the north pole to find santa claus it was a trip of the best for Mr Wilson that took the journey, he was happy of the long walk because it was an experience for him he has never took a long work before soon he started getting cold at the end of the walk because the closest you get the north pole the colder.

END
Santa had the most happiest workers of all time that is what everyone thought Ginger Kind humankind and all thought that then wilson got to the north pole and saw santa alone with presents around him so wilson went out to santa and gave santa a happy smile with a hug too and then wilson got his friends and his ginger kind to help santa and to give him friendship.

Romeo and Juliet similarity to Hinemoa & Tutanekai

So this is the next day from the Hinemoa & Tutanekai blog post and I just read Romeo and Juliet Know going to tell you how much similar they are staring from one and I will put links to were \]=
read about the Romeo and Juliet and I might tell more about the story too.
All the text that I read
I got some fact from here
 
I Think these are how they are similar
First: It was a love story
Second: Romeo Loved Juliet
Third: Romeo meet Juliet secretly
Fourth: They Married each other

So the love from Romeo & Juliet was placed in Verona, Italy where the two families took place one of the families where Montague and the other was the Capulet and the Parents or both clans have hated each other for a long time Romeo was an Montague and Juliet was a Capulet,    

 Romeo was a lover he was looking for love he like someone but she did not like him back so he left her because his cosine told him to leave her and the Benvolio was basically his best friend they encouraged him to stay away from her so he did.

Then there his friends invited him to a Capulet's party it was a costume party so Romeo's friends thought it would be cool to go to it they thought the Capulet's wouldn't find out so Romeo went with his cousin and friend to the Capulet's party Romeo thought that they might find out that they were Montague.

Old Capulet had a daughter that was Juliet, Capulet was hoping that Juliet will agree to marry Count Paris and he is excited to spend time with her at the party which of course is were Romeo and is friends are going.

Know when Romeo and his friends get to the party they were probably nervous because there not meant to be there exact they were not invited so they got in and Romeo's friends went to have fun while Romeo first saw Juliet walking down the left side of those two way stairs with Count Paris as Romeo smiled at Juliet then she smiled back at him then they talked when Paris was talking to Capulet it was love at first site Romeo was sad because it is Capulet's daughter so he was sad but he took the risk of falling in love with her

Romeo soon finds out she loves him too they talked threw the window the second time they meet the talked secretly that they were going to marry each other on secret. while the party was still on Romeo had to leave with his friends.

On the way home Tybalt is still angry that Montague came to the Capulet party so he challenges Romeo but he refuses to fight and then Mercutio agrees to fight Tybalt the Romeo tries to stop the fight by getting in the way Tybalt ends up stabbing Mercutio and then Romeo get's angry and kills Tybalt with a pounding strike and then he makes it home fast home.


Juliet get's sad to hear that her cousin's death and because Romeo has too leave Verona She has another problem too, Her father is going to force her to marry Count Paris. She ends up getting advice from Friar Lawrence Juliet gets poison from Friar Lawrence  and drinks it she ends up getting she is just in a paralyses conciseness that means that she is in deep sleep for about 40 minutes.

  Romeo returns to Verona with a poison he soon finds out that she is dead but she is not dead but Lawrence could not get the message to Romeo so he ends up drinking to poison and he dies then Juliet wakes up and see's that Romeo is dead so she crabs his dagger and stabbed her self.

A tragedy stopped the war Between the Montague'sand the Capulet's because they saw Romeo and Juliet lying down next to each other.   

THE END

Hinemoa: Why Did the father not accept the marriage?
Tutanekai: How did you feel when you first saw her?

The story was about two people there was a beauty high - ranked young laddie was the daughter of an influential chief could Hinemoa and she was the one looking for love, And there was a man could
Tutanekai he was a brave worrier that went to Hinemoa's and her fathers land around Owhata the shores of lake Rotorua, 

Because of her high rank, Hinemoa was declared sacred, Her family like her father for instants or her sibling too could or had to choose a husband for when Hinemoa Tutanekai and most of his family from  the island Mokoia in lake Rotorua t hey meet on the shores of Owhata the shores of lake Rotorua 

they loved each other from the very start and Hinemoa knew that her family wasn't going to accept the love the relationship so Hinemoa swam because she could not push one of there boats out so she got water barrels not plastic ones the kind that were carved out of wood, so she got them and swam to Tutanekai's island Mokoia 



When Hinemoa got to Tutanekai's island she was cold because she could not wear her feather or cloth skirt in the water because she would drown because of the weight so she got cold when she got there she found a hot pool were a servant was sent to get some water he got some but Hinemoa bumped in and told the servant to go get her water please said Hinemoa so he got some and gave it to her she told the servant to tell Tutanekai that she was there and the she smashed the Hui and he ran to tell him

The Alarm Call

This activity was fun there was a picture of a goblin creeping on a kitten sleeping on a kitten shaped pillow with little kitten play balls we had to write or describe a story about it and make a unexpected twist with it. So here is my story


Hook- As the Green skin  beast CREEPS!!! And tries not to wake up the Kitten


The Green ferocious beast creeps along the floor stomping slowly, quietly because there is a white and gorgeous kitten was sleeping on a pink dotted kitten pillow  the kitten is asleep like a bug in a rug so the green beast stops in the mid air with one knee high over the kitten he slowly tries to get over the kitten but he will make a sound if he moves. Move and the ground will make creak sound so what he has to do is stay calm and find a solution.

Prrr!! Sleeping sucks but I still want to sleep so I wonder what I might do when I wake up ok ok I probably should stop talking to myself and go to sleep so what am I going to dream about know what about the candyland place okay so then let’s go to sleep then. Ahh!! What is that sound hopefully it is not an intruder to harm my owner.

I should wake up ahh! What is that it looks like it is green it looks at me like I am some food I better take care of him I should ah do some karate onna him so that teacher teached the karate to him and I sore most of it so um karate chop and slice Crack!!! oh no your leg looks great how about some makeup Boom!!! What happened to your nose It looks ahh nice how about that who is the baddy know oh who is the baddy know? Oh no what have I done Im sorry.

As the cat is saying sorry to the green beast the goblin moves and the ground drops beneath the white fluffy kitten and it falls very quickly not being able to see where it is in the air so it falls to it’s death and good night folks that was the play for tonight and good night.

  2. Once upon a time there was big T-Rex roaming the sure line on the forbidden lands then a bout visited the close neighbors and the boat was gone easy as that in my head I was thinking they would've needed a bigger boat.

One day there was a boat just sterling on the coast of Atlanta one in a million the city raised and when it rise there unexpected dinosaurs on the island the people on the boat were like is this an illusion when the T-Rex came at them then at this moment they knew that they stuffed up they needed a bigger boat.

  5. One time there was a boat and me and my friend stall it and we went out on it and we found a place and a T-rex it was lying there and it woke up as soon as we were near it we need a pirate boat a bigger boat.
  6. Once upon a time there were to people there names were Aurora and Jack they both went off on an adventure on a boat it was a small one then after they were heading to the island, mysteriously land and dinosaurs appear out of nowhere a T-rex past them and then after a few minutes everything stops the land, Trees and bushes, the dinosaurs stopped running stopped playing and then they disappeared, vanished.
