Why Should We Be Ready For Technology?

Why Should We Be Ready For Technology?


What can we do to be ready for technology?

Firstly, To be ready for technology we must be prepared for the day, you must bring the right clothing and covered shoes so that your feet are protected (Health and safety). You also need your Chromebook to be charged and ready for the learning day, you will need to research recipes and find out information about what we are doing and cooking at technology as well, so we get the idea of what we are making/cooking.

What is Technology?

Technology is the petition of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, Such as cooking, Industry, Machinery, Sewing, Science and much more.

Why is technology important?

Technology is important because it benefits us and it could help us to make money when we are older. Technology will also help us to get a job, and will help us to grow in our technology activities. I also think it is important because it helps us to learn about things from all around the globe.

In summary I think that we should be ready for technology so we can gain knowledge in our technology work, so we can learn about other things and recipes around the world, and so we can get a understanding of what we may be making, cooking or doing.

WALT: find out Why Is It Important To Celebrate Matariki?

Why Is It Important To Celebrate Matariki?


What is Matariki?

Matariki is the Maori name for the cluster of stars. (i.e. Seven Sisters). It rises in mid-winter late May or early June. For many Māori it is a sign of the start of a new year. Matariki actually means the eyes of god (Mata Ariki) or little eyes. Matariki is also known as the Māori New Years.

When is the Māori New Year?
The Māori new year is marked by the rise of Matariki and the sighting of the next new moon. The rise of Matariki can be seen in the last few days of May every year, and the new year is marked at the sighting of the next new moon which happens during the month of June.

How is Matariki Celebrated?
Matariki is celebrated with education, remembrance and the planting of new trees and crops signalling new beginnings. Matariki was the perfect time for new harvests, and public offerings to the land based on  god's Rongo, Uenuku and Whiro to ensure good crops for the coming year. It was also seen as a perfect time to learn about the land we live on and to remember our  whakapapa  who have passed from this world to the next and the legacy they left behind.

How Long Do Celebrations Last?
Traditionally celebrations lasted up to three days after the new moon has risen, following that Matariki becomes visible.

Why Is It Important To Celebrate Matariki?

Today Matariki means celebrating the unique place in which we live and giving respect to the land we live on.

This is my Recount Writing, WALT: Recount a moment of time.

Recount Writing Assessment 2017
Keila.


Title:
Canoeing at Camp.

Event:
Going canoeing.

Emotions:
Super excited, happy, fun, nervous.


It was a Sunny midday at Cooper’s beach. On our first day of Camp My aunty my sister and my three brothers and I decided to go canoeing. Before we got into the water we put on our life jackets.

One by one as we glided into the water with our canoes. I was nervous to do it because it was my very first time ever going canoeing. My heart was pounding like a song that was playing fast on a speaker.   

As I sat down in the canoe my aunty pushed me onto the water. I thought to myself that wasn't so hard and then I got all excited. I started to get use to it. As my brothers, sister and aunty and I paddled off to the beach.

As I was paddling I lost control because if you paddle on the left side the canoe would turn right, and if you  paddle on the right side you turn left so it was a bit complicated. Anyways as I was turning I turned the opposite way and I tryed to turn the other way before I got stuck in a tree. I GOT STUCK. I started to laugh and then I found my way out.

After about ten minutes we finally made it to the beach we all decided to hop out of the canoes to have a rest. As we were struggling to get out I turned around and I just saw one of my brothers fall in the water my family and I were laughing so hard. It was quite a struggle trying to get out of the canoes. We had our laugh and we went and sat on the nice hot sand.

A few minutes later we went back canoeing. The best part on the canoe was going over the waves because it was like going over a hill and back down but more fun!.

While we were at the beach we had a swim as well. We had heaps! Of fun. We canoed back to camp, got changed and then had lunch. After lunch we played basketball and jumped up and down on the trampoline. We didn't go to bed until late at night we played board games, ping pong, foosball and we helped ourselves to a feed. We were having the time of our lives. We camped at Coopers beach for 3 days and left back to Kaikohe on Saturday night.


We had lots of fun at camp and spending time with family. There was also a lot of funny moments there as well.

21.000.000 of bread in New Zealand gets thrown away.
New Zealanders throw away 122,547 tonnes of food a year.

Love food, hate to waste.

Nearly half of your rubbish is usually organic waste….

Our rubbish gets buried in a landfill. This is a big hole in the ground, so if we put our food in the bin this is where your rubbish will end up.

When organic waste like food or plants starts to break down in the landfill and sinks into the ground It creates a liquid under the ground.

We can compost anything if it can biodegrade
- (rot). We call this organic waste.
