purerehu

 Today in wood class we made a little thing called purerehu. To make it, we each got a long narrow peice of wood and measured a circle on the outside for one end and an oval on the outside on the other end. The end result shouldve left it with it being able to spin it around and make a cool niose.

 

Piano

 The piano was invented in Italy by Bartolomelo Cristofori. The picture shows what the first ever paino looked like, which was made in the year 1655. A piano is an acoustic instrument where as a keyboard is an electric instrument, The piano is an instrument everyone loves and can enjoy to play, i've found it challenging to play keys that are very far from each other because I have small hands, but this is an instrument I love and have fun playing. 

Inclusiveness

Judging others

 In wananga class we were given a task to work on a google slides that was shared with us. The slides are about inclusiveness and judging others, today we are to talk about a time where we judged someonelse different from ourselves. For me, I find it that I get "judged" a lot from other people because I know that I am "different", some people judge the way I talk or the way I look there are a lot of things people notice about me that is "different" or "unusual" to them. Although I do find it annoying at times I also do the same thing. Which is irritating because as much as I dont like other people assuming stuff about me, I can't help but do it to people who I dont know anything about. It could be a girl walking by and I would think oh "she's probably mean", or "oh she looks scruffy", small things like that happens almost everyday. Sometimes because of the judgments people make about me affect how they are towards me. So the best thing to do is at least try, just try not to judge someone just by looking at them, or hearing something about them from others, because you dont actually know unless you have seen it and heard it for yourself. 

The treaty of waitangi

 Treaty

In wananga class we were given a task to go to as site and pick one of the books to read. I chose the book written by Claudia Orange called ¨What happened at Waitingi?¨. This book is about what happened when the Maori and the British agreed on signing the treaty.  Here are 3 facts that I learnt about what happened, the treaty was first signed on the 6th of Febuary 1840, The Queen extended her protection to the Māori people and granted them ‘all the rights and privileges of British subjects, the treaty of Waitangi was signed in James Busby´s house. 

Black Death rats and fleas

 Fleas and rats spread the Black Death. Firstly rats had the plague, this shows how easily Black Death could spread throughout Europe. Once humans caught the plague they went around others and passed on the virus. A person would interact with another person and because they didn't know, that caused more than just a few people to die from the Black Death..
