Digestive system

Dentition (Teeth):
The type of teeth that people/animals can have are Incisors, Canines and Molars. Incisors are the teeth that you use to bite into your food. Canines are the teeth that are next in line that are developed in your mouth. You have four of them and they are your sharpest teeth and that is used to tear the food apart. Molars are used to crush the food so it is easier to swallow. 

Oesophagus:
The oesophagus is a 25 centimeter tube that transforms the eaten food (bolus) into your stomach where it is digested. 

Stomach:
The stomach is an internal organ which is connecting the Oesophagus and small intestine. It is a major part of the digestive system and it is used for digesting food. 

Small intestine:
The small intestine is used for absorption of nutrients and minerals from food takes place. It lies between the stomach and large intestine, and receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct to aid in digestion. 

Large intestine:
The large intestine is about 5 feet long and 3 inches in a diameter. The intestine absorbs water from waste and that is creating stool. As stool enters the rectum, nerves there create the urge to defecate. 
Liver:
The liver is an organ and it is the size of a football. It sits under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body toxic substances. Liver disease can also be genetic between whanau. 

Rectum:
The rectum is a chamber that begins at the end of the large intestine, immediately following the sigmoid colon and it ends at the anus. Ordinarily, the rectum is empty because stool is stored higher in the descending colon. 

Anus:
The anus is the opening where the gastrointestinal tract ends and exits the body. The anus starts at the bottom of the rectum, the last portion of the large intestine. The anorectal line separates the anus from the rectum. Tough tissue called fascia around the anus and attaches it to nearby structures.

Neuroscience Teenage brain development

 In health we have been working on diversity. I have been working with Addyson and we choose 2 topics. One of them are teenage brain development and the other one is effects of gaming on the mind & body. We choose brain development and we had to choose something to create.

While working on this task it was kind of challenging to find some of the correct answers we wanted. We eventually got there at it turned out really well. I choose to try and do pro which is the middle level and I reckon I did pretty good so I'm proud of the work and the amount of work it put it.

Essay - Social Sustainability

 Social Sustainability (LGBTQ+) 

Social Sustainability comes up a lot especially with the LGBTQ+ community. I’m here to provide you with information so you can support this community and not be so anti about it. Were all human and were all different. 

If you consider yourself a part of the LGBTQ+ then you might think you have a different identity to others, and people consider this as a problem. What actually shapes your identity is passions, it could be what you're into and what you like doing. Some things that could shape your identity is the experiences you have, the people you hang out with, places you go to, the music you listen to and the type of conversations you have with people. 

What is gender? There is no specific way to define yourself and what gender you are, you choose what you want to be. When you are born that is your sex which could be Male, Female or bigender. As you grow up you might experience a mood or mindset where you feel different and this is where the full LGBTQ+ community comes in. 

Being LGBTQ+ can have massive effects on career choices and availability. Some managers won’t hire a person who is LGBTQ+. This affects our economy, if we don’t have people working then not as much money is spent. If the economy collapses then riots may become more frequent and crime has a chance to rise. That could cause harmful gasses to be released or cause more items to be broken meaning we need more resources to recreate them. People could get hurt, if that happened we would need to use resources to help heal and relieve these people of the pain. 

I therefore come to the conclusion that the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t define who you are, you're just different in your own unique way. It is definitely okay to be different and doesn’t matter if you're a part of that community or not.

Heart Disection - 9hur2

• What have we been learning about? / We have been learning about the heart and how it pumps our blood and how it helps us function.

• Why are we dissecting heart? / To see what it's like on the inside and get a clear vision of something in real life instead of diagrams and drawings.

• What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? / Heart strings, Valves, Aorta, Ventricle, Arteries and we discovered the difference between the left and right side.

• Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not? / Yes I enjoyed this and I think we should do it more often. I was super into the dissection because I'm really into science and the human/animals body.

 During the dissection we had to cut down the left side on the heart but our right so we could look into the heart. We saw the valves, heart strings and aorta. After that we cut around the whole heart to look into both sides. We then started exploring the heart and cutting into places that should not be cut. the equipment we used were Scissors, scalpel and tweezers. We did not see the Atrium or the veins because when the heart is being cut out of its body the atrium gets cut off and the veins are up top towards the lungs. 

 

What makes a good leader

 What makes a good leader?

To make a good leader you need to have some good confidence, with that you need to be able to talk to a crowd or people that are different ages and make it clear what your saying. Some examples of good leaders could be some teachers or people that run a business or even Jacinda Arden. For good leaders you have to have bravery, being brave means that you just do what you got to do and get on to it. Be reliable, if your reliable that means people can trust to rely on you for certain things. Show that you are empathetic and you have feelings towards others. You got to be a kind respectful person that shows kindness towards others so they could look up to you. Just be honest, honesty is key it just makes your more trust worthy. Have integrity if you fail just get back up again you will still be learning so it doesn't matter if you don't get a couple words right or anything. 

Thinking about this how good do you think your leader skills could be?

Film study - Hur2

What am I learning?

I am learning how looks can be deceiving, and we are learning this through the film Coraline. 

How does this work show my learning?

I've wrote down some important things about what relates to looks can be deceiving. 

What am I wondering?

I wonder how the directors come up with these ideas? How long does it take to plan out?

Coraline Characters

Photography - Art

 Subject matter - 

What is the subject matter? Separating parts 

There are figures and then we have to background.

How are these put together?

Some things might be a similar colour or the topic will just combine with each other.

Form - 

How are parts grouped and overlapped? What is the focal point of the composition? 

One of the soldiers could be a focal point.

Do the colours create a mood or create  relationships between parts? 

There are a lot of different colours but some of the soldiers just pop out more.

Content / Meanings - 

Define the main subject? What does it mean 

The soldiers are at “war”

Does your combination of elements add up to new meaning? 

There’s not much of a meaning to it, the photo was just for fun.

Science Hur2

 In science we made hands, we made them with paper, straws and string. We had to try and represent how hands work with the tendons, joints and ligament's.

The ligaments are what attaches the bones together. It usually serves to hold together and keep them stable. 

Tendons is a fibrous connective connective tissue which attaches the muscles to the bone. Tendons might also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone and or structure. 

Joints are the cartilage surfaces the connect bones to each other. This cartilage allows our bones to glide smoothly against one another. It allows us painless movement and in each finger there are four joints. So 20 total in each hand.

Crosswords - Hur2

Stuff about film studies. Eg what it is and how it works.
How does this work show my learning?

It shows how much I have learnt so far
What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

I wonder if I'm actually doing this correctly.

Algebra in Science

 In Math we had to make a Presentation about velocity. It is basically a mix of Math and Science. 

In Math for this trimester we have been learning a whole lot of different stuff. We learnt a lot about Geometry and Algebra. We would do work on mathletics, play games and a lot more. Lately we have been working on a presentation that uses math and science. We had to use Time, Distance and Speed. 

These are our Results

During this Hurumanu (Making waves Hurumanu) It was pretty fun, I feel that I learned more during this Hurumanu and the way Mr Carter taught us was actually really fun. During this Hurumanu I found everything really fun to learn, we would learn stuff through games, videos and things that just made math fun.  

Acting Style - Drama

Generally this means "Over the Top" in every way. Here are some techniques which help create this affect. 

- Slower, cleaver delivery of lines with huge projection. Remember Victorian Theatres were huge and there were no microphones. 

- Play everything to the audience, even if you are supposed to be talking to another character on stage! Indictae whom you are talking to by looking sideways at them and holding your hand out towards. 

• Address the audience directly whenever the script will allow you to do so. 

• • 

• The Pose: Invent poses of shock, horror, love, evil, intent, cruelty, desire, dilemma, forgiveness, begging forgiveness etc. A pose should last at least three seconds and should be clearly visible from fifty metres. 

• The working yourself up to the pose: lasts two to three seconds --let's see you getting there! 

• • 

• The Gasp - very loud expressing a range of emotions. Often accompanied by a pose. 

• The Swoon - often preceded by lines such as "Alas! I can hardly bear it." The swoon should be graceful and provision should be made for someone to catch you._ 

• The long walk downstage/upstage/across stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma. 

• The Pacing- to and fro across the stage when hatching a plan or in a dilemma. Move before you speak so that the audience can track who is speaking. 

• The Tableau (freeze frame)- the still picture made up of a number of characters to freeze the moment, eg: The Happy Ending/ The Secret Lovers. The tableaux should be very explicit. 

• The Sigh/The Groan/The Tubercular Cough 

• First Entrances are important - may even bow, this is related to the cult of “The Actor” – the Star system. 

I want to make a Victorian bow tie.

Compliments

In Wananga we have been working on giving people deep compliments. We had a piece of paper and we could draw something in the middle and then we would go round writing compliments. Instead of writing surface compliments like "Your really nice", "I like your hair today", "You have have a good smile" or something like that. For a deeper compliment you could say "You are a very caring person and you help put your friends" it has to be meant from the heart. The compliments that really hit me were "You always come out as a warm and a friendly person" and "Such a good friend to others and funny". I felt really good but also surprised that I got really good compliments. I felt like people actually cared about me and could see deeper things about me. When I gave compliments I felt good that someone was getting something really nice and could see the good side of themselves.

 

Melodrama

What is a theatre green room?

In show business the green room is a space in most theatre rooms or similar venues that function as waiting rooms and lounges rooms for the performance before. 

14th August:

F - Focus

A - Action - Script 

R - Roles - Stereotypes / Hero / Heroine 

T - Time - Victorian  

T - Tension - Pangst provocation / Penalties

S - Space - Stage / Theatre 

In scholarly and historical musical contexts, melodramas are Victorian dramas in which orchestral music or song was used to accompany the action. The term is now applied to stage performances without music, novels, movies, television and radio broadcasts. 

Melodrama was very popular when it first came out in Britain in the 1800s. The actors became very famous and the common story lines soon became well known. Lots of plots centred on emotions such as suffering a romance. They styles of acting could be described as stylised. if you were to watch it today you would call it `over the top`. The characters were all `larger than life` and required the actors to use a lot of energy when playing them. 

  

Politcal party's

Today we were deciding who our leader was in our group. in our group we have Shontelle, Anneleise, Keyana and me. We have been brainstorming The elected leader, Slogan, Name of party, and what is our party known for. We chose Shontelle to be our elected leader and our party is known for being against discrimination. We are still thinking about a Slogan, Logo and name of party.

31st July 

Today we got our Logo, Name of party, Slogan and some of our policies and we also changed the elected leader. The elected leader is now me and our party name is Anti Discrimination. Our slogan is "Stop Discrimination for a better nation". Also our logo is:

Next week we have to finish the policies, start the manifesto and I will have to write my leaders speech.

Photo montage - Photography Art

In art we have been looking at montage photos. A montage photo is a combination of cut and or torn pieces from different photos. You then merge them together and it will turn into something like this. 

So in some way this kind of looks like a trophy 

For this one its a photo of a sculpture and I cut out and put human lips into it. It's kind of like the sculpture is coming to life. 

This one reminds me of someone that is really shy and they are trying to hide themselves.
