Huriata - Room 10 Zones of Regulation

Reflection: Mu Torere - Inquiry

Today we learnt how to play an indigenous game of New Zealand called 'Mu Torere'
It is a brain game allowing players to strategise and use their knowledge/ logic to outsmart their opponent. 
The set up looks a bit like this -
  1: You will need 8 counters, blocks or rocks (As long as you can tell them apart) 4 are yours and 4 are your opponents.
2: You will need a template.
Rules; Cannot jump over players, cannot layer blocks.
The way you play is to block your opponent from moving on 'THEIR' turn. For example:

The orange cannot move if it is 'Their' turn, as it cannot jump over or move past their opponent, meaning blue wins.

I had really fun playing this with my group, Paris, Ricky and Me. Paris was really good at the game (I'm a bit jealous) Paris won over and over again, and I won like, 1. I was really slow with coming up with strategies but it was fun nonetheless. They were quick games between our group, paris getting used to the game quicker than me and ricky - I thought I had it but, no. 

Writing; Cure Kids - Huriata

Room 10 participated in a kelly sport event to support ‘Cure Kids’.

Cure Kids charity is an institute supported by Rotary since 1971, and is known as a ‘Health Research Foundation’ who help and provide those in need; such as those with particular illnesses. This means they help by researching (doing projects) and providing information, they help the kids find cures and are able to fund them, and make sure that kids can be healthy and stay healthy.

An example of this is ‘Auckland Uni,' a research team who have come to a school (T.P.S) to collaborate in order to achieve a study/ project based on our urine - to see the effects of sodium inside a child's body, and the harm that it could inflict. This is done by getting volunteers to help with the research - in which they follow a task to 1; keep a journal and write which foods they have. And 2; pee in a large container. And to keep track of how much water they take. The effect of this could help the foundation in succeeding to find what children should be doing, to help benefit in the children's health.

Today I participated by doing the red nose day and giving a foundation of a dollar. That means it will go to the ‘Cure Kids’ in hopes of supporting kids and funding children’s health research. An example of a game I played was called ‘Capture the flag’ which involves kids retrieving cones to their side, with a defender and attackers.

By supporting Cure Kids I hope that my foundation was able to help someone.

Cinnamon & Jam Muffins

(preheat oven: 180°C)

DRY

• 1 and a half cup of flour
• half cup sugar

WET

• one egg
• one third of cup oil
• half cup milk.

TOPPINGS

• 1 tsp of brown sugar
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 1 tsp of jam

The first method to making this dish was to add the dry ingredients with the wet, until it was thoroughly combined. When the mix is thick, transfer a spoon full into a cupcake tin (When they are all filled but some mix is still there, use it on the ones that might need some filling). Once the mix is all done, get your toppings and using the back of your spoon, scoop some jam and place it in the middle of your mixture inside a cupcake tin, then the cinnamon (also using back of spoon) and then brown sugar. Mix it a little, turning the jam over and then sticking it in the oven. Wait for 15 minutes and check if the top is a golden brown crisp.

Oreo Milkshake

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of Oreo's
• 2 cups Milk
• Whip-Cream
• Chocolate sauce

Tools:

• Blender
• Cups

Method:

First you get 1 pack of Oreo's and 2 cups of milk into the same blender, then mix until there are no big chunks of oreo left. Get your cups (serves two) and pour an equal amount in each. Swirl whip-cream on top and depending on whether you want your milkshake to be sweet or not, only counts on how much chocolate sauce you put in your drink. 

Now it is ready to drink. 

Reflection

I paired up with Rosemary that day. We had lined up outside the cooking class/kitchen and when we came inside we were told the rules, safety precautions and tools that we may need during the time spent in food technology. There are 8 tables, me and Rosemary seat at the 7th. When it came to cooking I had immediately (with Rosemary) gone up to the table with ingredients to grab the Oreo's, Rosemary making sure to get dibs on milk. I hurried back to my station waiting upon Rosemary to bring back the milk. I ripped the packet of biscuits open chucking all the Oreo's in while Rosemary inserted the milk. She started the blender but with a mere mistake of not holding the the lid down so it doesn't shake (not a fact, just logic) and the milk travelled everywhere in every space of our bench, I advised her to hold the lid whilst I cleaned the bench and the problem did not excel further 😌 There were 4 blenders, meaning we had to group up with table eight to share the blender. I didn't mind but my god did it take forever for them to clean a bench and a blender. When me and Rosemary's drink were fancy and done, I really expected the drink to taste just like water - but I was wrong, it was actually really good and tasted my like Oreo. I suggest if you like a sweet milkshake, mix and combine the drink rather that having the ingredients separated. The cream at the top makes the sweetness more subtle and the chocolate sauce is like a liquefied sugar.

T3W4 Huriata - Dreams - Inquiry

T3W4 Huriata - Book Box - Reading

WALT: Identify a texts genre based on how we evaluate/ analyse our book. 
The text I read was 'The Great Ordinary' which I found really interesting. Edith is a local photographer (Is also her hobby) and she gets interviewed being asked questions like: "Why do you take pictures?" "What is special about this?" some feeling flattered when she took pictures of them. But it also has a look into the 'new' generation and how we may grow up to be/live/grow. She is a 'Documentary Photographer' - capturing the moment we have now before it all seems to vanish. I love the idea of that. She tells her opinions about how things may turn out in a couple years for cultural families in New Zealand.

Something I found difficult during this whole task was the 'Recount' I had to write. I've been staring at it for two days not knowing what to paste on it. So I thought, "My look in things..." And I figured I'd write something on my glasses. Many people find it surprising that I wear spectacles ( But I'm pretty sure it's because my frames always seem to pop out)

Huriata - Tōku Tuakiri - Poetry: Trees

Trees

By Huriata Paraone

I am Huriata

Black, my skin from the earth to the night duvet which Matariki sleeps in

I stand on breathing lands, and ride the largest stingray

I live afar my sleeping lands, the stingray guide me home

For my glazed over onyx gem that shows me what I am

I am Maori, I am Tongan

My whanau lived among many mountains and rivers, trees and sand

Caves wide like an owl's eyes, forest deeper than a king fishers fall

This clay and red wood, is my ancestors welcoming whare

The hair of tangaroa, my people swim in         

My ancestors

You planted a tree, a leaf so green, a bloom I see

And the harakeke you left us, we’ll weave wisdom and wit

For that in a next life, the after, the beyond, the where my eyes shall take me

I will be an ancestor to someone sane to meet heights, fall far but fly like a tui.
