The Legend of Rahi and Ki-O-Rahi both come from Māori culture. Rahi represents strength and unity in myth, while Ki-O-Rahi is a team game focused on strategy and teamwork. Both involve competition, resilience, and working together to achieve a goal.

What are the values are expressed in the game?

1. Teamwork – Working together to succeed.
2. Respect – Showing respect for everyone involved.

In this blog, we have to choose a topic for this task. We can determine earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. For this task, I prefer earthquakes because I have some knowledge of them. Then we have to choose a task to show our learning. I choose to answer this question “What countries have the most earthquakes”. I decided to do some research and I found that Japan has the most earthquakes ever. The reason why Japan has the most earthquakes ever is that Japan is sitting at the 7 tectonic plates, but how do they start an earthquake? There are 4 types of plate boundaries.  Convergent Plate, Transform Plate, Divergent Plate and Hotspot Plate. Different Boundaries do different things, Divergent plates are when plates rip apart from each other and Convergent Plates are when 1 one plate crashes into another plate making 1 plate dive downwards. transform plates when two plates pass each and Hotspot plates when a plate rides over a rising hot mantle plume. There are 7 plates around the world the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate, the Eurasian Plate, the African Plate, the Antarctic Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, and the South American Plate. Japan sits between the North American plates, the Pacific Plates, the Filpino plates, and the Eurasian plate.

In Health we have to do a discovery task, we can choose a topic and learn about it on our own, there a serval topics to choose from and I picked “social media on the mind “. I chose this topic because nowadays days when see everyone is just looking down at their phones like robots and I always wonder how much time has been spent on social media. So what I did for my discovery project was an infographic of why we humans use social media, I  first started to fill out a planning sheet that my teacher assigned me, then I went to Canva to find a new article template and saw a perfect template to use. I did a lot of research to find out how social media started, the challenges we are facing with social media, what makes social media addicting and how social media affects you. I asked people questions to fill out a pie chart to see why people use social media, how much they spend on social media in a day and how to limit social media usage. It was challenging to ask people around but I’m also proud of it because this is boosting my confidence. Another challenging thing is that using Canva, I don’t really use Canva much and has been a struggle but since I got it done, work has been better. Here is some images that I use for planning and work.

For this topic, I have covered sickness nausea,  this sickness is where you have an edge to vomit by a few things like motion sickness, food poisoning, taking the pill on an empty stomach and many more symptoms to experience nausea. In this topic, I have done the legend assessment covering each treatment with the four well-beings covering physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being.

Chosen Health Issue – Nausea
What is Nausea?
Nausea is a type of sickness where you have an urge to vomit, Nausea and triggered by motion sickness, Taking Pills on an empty stomach, food poisoning, eating too little or too much or intake on alcohol.

3 Ways to Treat Nausea

Nassue Relief Medicines (WSM) (TM)
Physical: This treatment can heal you physically, which can help you digest medicine and make a few changes around your body.
Mental: This can affect you mentally since you have to remember what time or day to take the medication.
Spiritual: This will affect your spiritual well-being because you probably can’t take the medicine because of religion, family tradition or cultural rules
Social: Taking this medicine will reduce the nausea which you can go on the rest of your day and socialize with people over time.
Avoiding Strong Smells (WSM) (TM) (CAM)
Physical: This affects the physical well-being, Try not to smell any strong or intense smell, if so try to move to another location to rescue the cause of nausea.
Mental: This affects your mental since you need to be mindful of where you are like a place with a lot of smells you don’t like or smells that are strong.
Spiritual: This affects spirituality because some people need specific smells to heal them over time.
Social: This affects your social well-being since you can ask people, friends or family to help you to get rid of certain or strong smells, these people help you to heal over time.
Eat Light Foods (WSM)
Physically: This affects your physical well-being since the food you are eating might be not enough and your body can change due to lack of food and lack of energy
Mental: This affects mental well-being since you have to be mindful of what you are eating. Eating food that is too much or you think you can’t finish during a nausea period is quite bad and leads to more serious vomiting or dizziness.
Spiritual: This can affect your spiritual well-being since some people believe that eating food gives energy and heals you over time while others think that not eating at all is a good idea. This is just what you believe in.
Social: This affects your social well-being since you might need someone to give you light food over time, if needing social support, you can simply text, call or talk to someone you might know to help you to not think of your nausea period.

The first issue is high inflation, inflation is when prices increase over time, this is because when people have a lot of money they mostly often buy it easily which makes it harder for people who sell services, products etc. The second thing that New Zealanders are facing is buying property and houses. This makes it harder for people to buy property and this topic relates to high inflation. The third thing that people are facing in New Zealand are rising unemployment, people normlly failed NCEA and this makes the issue.

Hello Everyone

In science, we are currently learning chemistry, while in chemistry our topic is the periodic table. Then we had an activity to draw the first 20 periodic table elements, the 20 periodic tables we had to name hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium and calcium. In a shell also known as the ring of the atom, there are only 2 electrons for the first ring of the atom, the next row of the ring will be 8 electrons in the ring and having another ring is another 8 electrons and so on. The number of electrons in the outer shell of all the elements in a group is the same as the group number. The patterns I see in the periodic table in the periods/rows and the grouping, it represent the eltrons in each group.
