SOS - Our Small World; Youth Challenge: Huriata

Tokelau is a very, small country. After it’s loss of land/ beach, it was replaced with stonewalls - I think it may be because of the water rising in the pacific ocean, causing the space on land to shrink. The dilemma with having such a small land, is also the problem of having a smaller population. It’s estimated that there is only 1,499 people of Tokelau. And now kids are having to migrate to other countries such as NZ, Australia and America to better their education. In most cases resulting with them not coming back. The Tokelau council are trying to find ways to bring their youth, or influence them to come back to Tokelau so that the culture doesn’t die out.

SOS - our small world tokelau: Huriata

'Our Small World' - Reflection of problems:

Our small world features Tokelau and how they live and communicate. A problem that they seem to have and is noticeably a struggle, is the decrease of the tokelau population.

Because of the type of state they are living in, they have to send their youth (16+) to further their education overseas, to study abroad. The problem with this is that it is hard to influence them to come back to the village because they may be with a lover, or elsewhere, resulting with the older group taking the jobs of the young. In one result, someone came back to Tokelau but couldn’t settle because of the way they’ve been in another country.

Huriata - Room 10 Zones of Regulation

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.     

    

Term 4: 1st blog of the term - Huriata

Nau mai, hoki mai ki taku rangitaki. Ko tenei te wahanga tuawha o te tau! Kei te pehea tu hararei?

My personal goal for 2k17-
Managing my time and environment, this means keeping my work area clean and being prepared for upcoming events. I am very disorganised and untidy, so lately I've been... trying to leave my room 'well kept'. And to organise my papers at the end of the day.

One thing I am looking forward to this term is-
DINE AND DANCE! Because I get to hang around with friends, see others in unique clothes and have free food. Last year was a really fun year because I got to listen to some of my requested music (which didn't last through the full length) and  I always had dibs on the drinks no-one else really liked, like lemon water. I didn't like wearing the dress at all, and I wish, If I could change something - would be to let students wear proper, formal clothes (that aren't specifically dresses and tuxes)  

To fully enjoy these end of year opportunities, I will need to remember to have a positive mindset towards things, and to at least give things a try. Whether it be during learning, eotc or inside school events - and to participate in ways that I am involved.

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.

ENJOY

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.

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.

Today I just wanted to sleep in - which is what I did. I found out something too, when I woke up I though that my cousin had gotten up to go in the lounge since his bed was empty - but then I kept hearing him "Don't touch that, Karma" or "Give me that" and the funny thing was that karma was in MY room, so I was clearly confused. I looked around my room again. His bed is still empty, he's not under the desk... He's not anywhere. Until, I saw the tiniest movement of the blanket that was on the bed. But the blanket is literally flat and his blanket was left messy till... POP. I had realised that my cousin is so SKINNY that he can mould himself into object and be completely invisible, He was in the blanket that covered 1/4 of his entire bed. 

Oh, and I'm doing Moa hunting tomorrow.

Possums In NZ - Winter Learning Journey: Huriata

On your blog, tell us whether you agree that New Zealand should be predator free. In your opinion, is it right to kill all of the predators (eg. possums) or should we just leave them alone? On your blog tell us what you think and give us, at least, three reasons why you think this way.

I think it's fine, my reasons are -

Native Wildlife

The native well known creature named the Kiwi is in danger - from it predator, possums and stoats. I don't think it's wrong at all to kill them off if it's for the sake of our native animals. Possums are also not rare, nor are they native - they are literally in other countries, a bigger population than in NZ. For the sake of our endangered species I will agree to this system.

Native Plants/ Trees

The reason for this is because possums eat's native trees, little ones. But it interferes with the tree planting because they like to eat small saplings, which concludes in no trees.

Road Kill

Most of them die on the road too, where they rot and create more flies, the things that carry bacteria. It's overall disgusting.

FIVE NATIVE CREATURES TO NZ - Winter Learning Journey: Huriata

Five native creatures to nz

IALT: keep myself knowledgeable and productive about NZ!

KIWI BIRD

The flightless native birds of New Zealand, named the kiwi is one of the most well known animal to NZ. They have sensitive nostrils, long beaks and a fat round shape. The kiwi is used in a variety of ways to symbolise/ represent our country. These creatures eat small portions of seeds, grubs, and a hand full of worms. They can also eat fruit, small crayfish and eels. Fact: People who live in NZ are recognised as 'Kiwi's'. These birds are going through a hard time right now, as their population starts to decrease as more stoats devour them. The stoats are pesty buggers, a predator to the kiwis.  People have been working to ridding them (Stoats) as the situation starts to get worst. 

  

CHEVRON SKINK LIZARDS

The skink lizards are very small, quick creatures. You can usually find them in your backyard - which is where I usually find them. These small things are the colour of black, light brown or lighter, which makes them difficult to spot time-to-time. The Skink diet on insects, such as moths, crickets, earthworms, flies, grubs, caterpillars, grasshoppers, cockroaches and many more largish. These lizards can be found at Great Barrier Island and Little Barrier Island. (Chevron Type)

KEA PARROT

These are the only alpine parrots in the world and are commonly found in the 'Arthur’s Pass National Park' on the south island of New Zealand. These parrots get food from the trees (e.g: fruit, leaves, shoot, nectar and seeds) And get insects from within soil and rotten trees. These birds also have a cheeky/ annoying sense to dismantle car parts, so look out.   

HECTOR’S DOLPHIN

Named after their founder Sir James hector, these dolphins are native to new Zealand. They are also the worlds smallest dolphin, 4.1 metres long. to be exact. These creatures can be found in the south island waters and you could even possibly swim with them if your interested. Their diet contains of squid, red cod, flatfish and yellow eyed mullet. 

FUR SEAL

These furry creatures are spotted at the bottom of the Harbour Bridge on a regular basis. These funny things are usually found in the waters - but it wouldn't be strange if you found one in your back yard, haha! They feed on fish, birds (including penguins) squid and krill.

Today it was my brothers birthday, Lucky old 18. I looked after Karma for the day whilst Tawhiri was doing his usual routine. We didn't do much, but we're doing something next week. For his 'cake' we had some donuts from 'dunk n donuts'and for lunch we had some noddles/ asian food.
Lately I've been doing some early research and trying to get my brain into work mode for tomorrow, as my cousin's coming over (And I usually have to spend time with him)

My goal for over the holidays is to keep my brain productive, so that next term I don't frail behind on work. That's why I took my learning goal to the next step, joining the "Winter learning Journey" project.
Right now I'm trying to make more tasks for myself - to research on and eventually blog.
WISH ME LUCK!!

About My Flag - Winter Learning Journey: Huriata

About My Flag.

The basic background represents the maori culture (White, black and red are common for maori colours) It's also is like the Maori flag - which was the concept I was going for. The native people of New Zealand is the Maori so I wanted something more along those lines. The fern forming a circle represents the 'whole' of our country and the bond we've made with those within it. Also to me this reminds me of aroha (love) and Whanau.
I am really happy about how this turned out in the end!

Day 1: 100% PURE New Zealand : Facts About NZ - Winter Learning Journey: Huriata

Fun Fact's about NZ

If you were to look closely at our country, New Zealand kinda just looks like an upside down boot.


But then if you were to look at Japan - that country just looks like a bigger, backwards way New Zealand! Amirite (Yes, yes I am)


...


New Zealands different climate!
Well, nz has a very different climate during the years - December,January, February being the hottest times of the year and July being the coldest. Which might seem odd for other countries to hear 'Summer Christmas' The average temperature also starts to decrease as you move nearer down south too, going down to about 10°C (14°F) or lower.
Fun Fact: On July the 25th in 2011 there were snow storms occurring over a period of weeks (I remember a lot of hail back then in my old school - had a lot of ice fights/ snow ball fights. One dilemma was that no-body wore gloves so our hands got cold and we got sick)



...

New Zealand's population of who?

New Zealand homes around 4.4 million people, 69% have European ancestors, 14.6% are indigenous  Maori (Really? What about white Maori's, did they count that in as well?) 9.2% Asian and 6.9% Non Pacific Maori (Tongan, Samoan)

It is believed to be that the Maori were Polynesian voyagers that settled here in NZ/ Aoteroa. The native people of NZ (Maori) is the main core of how NZ is today - and that the maori share their land and their aroha towards others. But now it's different as children learn negative things from others words and actions...

New Zealand is best known for selling/ producing manuka honey, a health beneficial and delicious treat used by beaty companies and others. This honey is quite rare and expensive - and is shipped to other countries to sell. Not only that, but NZ is well known for their dairy products, cows and milk too.

What the different used of honey: By Huriata and Rosemary!

Here is a presentation that me and Rosemary did for the 'Market Night'. Inside, it contains information about two types of honey - Raw honey and Manuka Honey. When it's talking about Manuka honey, it's the different uses of it. When it's talking about Raw honey (This kinda involves manuka too) it's explaining some of the health you benefit from it.
