Sails for science

 

During this program we learned about ecology, DNA, the ocean environment, bio diversity and how invasive species can have a negative effect or threaten bio diversity. We also learned different ways scientists can detect all types of species throughout the ocean. On our fist trip we travelled to Opito bay. At Opito bay we used a plankton net to collect plankton which we would later inspect on a microscope. Plankton are microscopic organisms which are pretty much at the bottom of the marine food chain. To use the plankton net you must cast the net out and retrieve it. On our second trip we done a voyage yacht in the harbour of Opua. Those that went on the smaller inflatable that would then tow the plankton net. Later on we also done abit of fishing where I caught 3 Kahawai. 

Future planning end of term assessment

What is your understanding of career? career is something you go buy for the rest of you're life that could be your source of income. This could be a build up like how you study up to be a doctor, this is all a build up or a gateway in your career. Eg: My career is going to be MMA. What is your understanding of Kotahitanga? Kotahitanga is to be united or in unity. Like a team unite and works together to make Kotahitanga. What is your understanding of Rangatiratanga? Eg: Hone Heke shows Rangatiratanga as in great leadership by guiding them to victory. How do the concepts relate to the topic? These concepts are key to your life in it being successful. I have learnt a lot about planning my future with great and accurate evaluation. 

Future planning topic

Our future planning topic is a great way to show our future and plan our future. We had to plan our career, Have an understanding of Kotahitanga and an understanding of Rangatiratanga. The easy part was explaining what we wanted to do in our future. The hard part was calculating and evaluating all of it. 

SST Term 3

 What we have been learning in social studies is planning out a life with a certain celery of money. This helps us with planning and having a good vision of our up and coming future.

Nz entrepeneur

 In this topic we had to choose a business from NZ that makes good money. I choose the alcoholic brand codys as it is an iconic NZ business. The hard part was gathering alot of information. The easy part was doing a poster.

The real game reflection

 Over the past couple weeks we have been doing a sheet showing how we want our future to be. This mahi has been very good to work on. It was hard making it fit into our future within the right price. We also showed what job and what house would fit with our jobs. This was great for being aware on our future.

Quin-Learning

 I think my learning has been acceptable for this term in Social Studies which is being reflected on. We have been studying Leadership and Government. During our learning of Leadership and government I have learnt lots about all of the objectives like how government works and how parliaments are chosen. We also learnt about leaderships and the important leaders of Aotearoa. It is evidential that I hove done lots of work because a lot has been submitted in my hapara workspace. Doing lots of hard work often leads to success.
