Ki o Rahi - P.E Hurumanu

In P.E we have been learning a game called Ki o Rahi. We had to research the legend bout Ki o Rahi and this is my research.  

When you’re playing Ki O Rahi there will be a set time to play in, it will be 4 quarters or 2 halves. Teams will switch roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half time or in each quarter. Both teams score differently Kīoma scores by touching the Pou With the Kī then they run the Kī through to Te Roto and placing it down in Pāwero/Te Moto. This means they will get points after touching the pou. If the Kī goes out any team can pick it up. Teams can decide to change the rules before playing the game, normally they will just keep playing as if it was Tatu. The Taniwha team scores one point for hitting the tupu which is in the middle of the field. There a several circles which makes the Ki o Rahi field and they have specific names. The outer ring of a Ki o Rahi field is called Te Ao, the next ring in is called Te Roto, The next one is Pāwero/Te Motu. There is a little circle around the Tupu is called Te wairua. 

This is what the field looks like:

The equipment you will need is Kī (ball) Pou (pole/post) Tupu (Barrel) bibs, cones to make the outlines, you can also use spray paint to make outlines. 

The legend:

One day an enemy tribe from a far off mountains kidnapped Te Ara. Her Abductors casted a spell on her causing the vegetation to become really dense and impenetrable so nobody could track where she was. Rahi was very determined to find Ti Ara, with the help of his family and tribe he built a huge kite and called it Manu Tangata. Before going on his journey Rahi prepared several “Kī” (Flax Bags) he then filled it up with a large Moa (Extinct New Zealand Bird) eggs so he can eat something during his journey. Tawhirimatea the god of wind blew Rahi and his Kite high up in the sky, before he gently landed Rahi in the bush. When Ti Ara was being taken away through the forest she secretly folded back leaves of the silver fern. Which was exposing the silvery underside of the leaf so Rahi was able to follow the silvery trail that Ti Ara had left.

Music - Hurumanu

In music we had to research someone out of Buddy Holly, Lady Gaga, Adele and Bruce Springsteen. The questions we had are Name, Decade when music became popular, Date of birth, genre of music, famous songs and a challenge they overcame. I picked Adele so this is what I got.

Name: Adele Luarie Blue Adkins.

Decade when music became popular: 2008.

D/B: May 5 1988. 

Genre of music: Pop, Soul, Blue Eyed Soul and Contemporary R&B 

Famous songs: Hello. 

Overcame challenge: When Adele graduated from BRIT school in 2006. Adele signed a recording contract XL recordings. At the 51st Grammy awards in 2009 Adele Received the awards for best new artist and best female pop vocal performance.

Music - Hurumanu

In music we had to do a band biography and a musician biography. We had to answer questions like Stage/legal name, date when they formed, interesting facts, group members and stuff like that. This is my slide show.

  

Hurumanu - Drama

On Tuesday we were working on improv scenes. There was basically a bucket with scenes in it that we had to recreate. For the first one I did, I was working with Shontelle and our scene was about taking our twin babies to the photographer to get photos done and the babies weren't behaving so we had to tie them to chairs. The next one I did I was working with Addyson and Shontelle and our play was about going to the doctors wanting surgery and the nurse purposely over dosed the patient and killed them and killed the doctor just because she wanted them dead. 

This is our video.

Also on Tuesday we were learning about emotions. When you change its not all about the body its also about emotions and how they change when you grow up. 

The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1. Bag
2. Pen
3. Water
4. 2 drops of food colouring
5. Litmus paper
6. Soda

Steps:

1.  Get into a group
2.  Get your materials 
3.  Draw the cycle on your bag
4.  Put a cup of water/soda in a bag
5. Put in 2 drops of food colouring in the bag.

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes.	Yes.	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	2	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small drips

3 = large drips

Other comments:

1. Bag 1 has no acidity.
2. Bag 1 has small drips of water.
3. Bag 1 still cycles.
4. Bag 2 has soda instead of water in it.
5. Bag 2 has a small drip amount of acidity. 
6. Bag 2 has small drips amount of water.
7. Bag 3 has sand instead of water or soda.
8. Bag 3 has no acidity.
9. Bag 3 has small drips amount of water in it. 

Conclusion:

Bag 1, 2 and 3 all had small drips amount of water. Bag 1 and 3 and no acidity in its cycle. All of the bags water cycles were working. 

1. Ice cap melt

- Definition: A polar ice cap is a region in the North and or South pole and that is a planet covered in ice. While the Ice caps melt sea levels rise and the oceans become less containable.

- How it affects climate change?

The changes in the amount of the sea's ice cap can disrupt regular circulation, there by leading to changes in the global climate. Even a small increase in temperature also can lead to warming over time. Which means the polar regions are the most sensitive to climate change on Earth.

2. Acidification

- Definition: Ocean acidification is the on going decrease in the pH of the Earths oceans. This is caused by taking up the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Sea water is a slight basic meaning of pH > 7, and the ocean acidification involves a shift towards pH neutral conditions rather than changing to acidic conditions.

- How it affects climate change?

As us humans keep burning more fossil fuels the focus on the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere keeps continuing to rise. Which is making climate change make both air and sea temperatures get hotter and hotter.

- How it affects climate change?

Conclusion:

In this one we started with Precipitation. precipitation comes from evaporation. Precipitation is a big word for rain. Then we went out to Storms and Hurricanes. Sometimes rain can create storms and hurricanes that is why we put it there. Then we moved to Flooding because flooding can be caused by Hurricanes and Storms. Next is oceans because when there is a flood it can lead to the ocean. We did evaporation next because the sun will evaporate some of the flooding. We linked freshwater to evaporation because the heat can evaporate the salt from salty water then it will become fresh. After fresh water we did water vapour because water vapour is basically clean water. Back to Evaporation we linked off to another part and that's condensation because when something gets evaporated it leaves condensation behind. After condensation we did Carbon Dioxide because when you breathe out your breathing out Carbon Dioxide and it sometimes create moisture which it condensation. 

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation: Precipitation is a big science word for rain. When water is evaporated it goes into the clouds and comes out as rain. 
2. Hurricanes: Hurricanes are most likely to happen in the warmth of the water and it will just keep going till it dies out.
3. Storms: Storms can be a big threat to our earth because it may get to dangerous and it can seriously hurt people. 
4. Evaporation: Evaporation is when there is water and the sun will evaporate it. It will then go into the clouds and it comes out as rain. 
5. Carbon Dioxide: When you breathe out your breathing out carbon dioxide. You breathe in Oxygen and it comes out Carbon Dioxide.
6. Water: Water helps us survive. We get to drink it, swim in it and etc. 
7. Oceans: Our Oceans are a home for heaps of our sea life. Our earth needs the oceans because without it our earth will be dried out. 
8. Water vapour: Water vapour is a gas form. It can be formed from a boiling liquid and or ice. 
9. Freshwater: Fresh water can include ice sheets, ice gaps, glaciers, ice bergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams.
10. Flooding: Flooding can be a part of climate change. The ice is melting so it can create floods then the water levels will rise.
