Science Presentaion

 Kia ora. in this blog I would like to share with you all my presentation I presented in Science today which was based around a genetic disease. Our task was to find a genetic disease and research about, then create a presentation and present it back to the class. I chose to base my presentation around a genetic disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. 

Duchenne muscular dystrophy also known as DMD is a genetic severe muscle disease. It is inherit as an X-linked recessive pattern. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father. If their X chromosome has a DMD gene mutation, they will have Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In the early stages , Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects the shoulder and upper arm muscles and the muscles of the hips and thighs.This disease leads to difficulties in movement and to the need for assisted ventilation and premature death. The disease is caused by mutations in encoding dystrophin that prevents and abolishes the productions of dystrophin in muscles. Muscles without dystrophin appear more sensitive to damage, resulting in progressive loss of muscle tissue and function.

I would also like to share with you all my presentation I created, however I have left the korero in the speaker notes. Here I have put a link to my presentation and I hope you enjoy. Thank you

Papatuanuku

 Kia ora. In SST I have been working on my mahi based on our overall kaupapa for this term which is Managing the environment. I am currently working towards the end of my Papatuanuku mahi and here I would like to share with you all my poem I wrote about Papatuanuku,. Although it is short, it has a meaningful back story to it and I hope from reading this you will gain a better understanding and mindset about the environment. Thank you.

Pohi

Kia ora Ko Jocelyn ahau, no te kareti o Pewhairangi ahau. I roto i tenei pohi ka korero ahau mo nga mahi e pa ana ki nga mahi ako kei roto i taku karaehe Maori.

Ko tenei te wa mutunga o tenei wa tua 3 o tenei tau. E hia ana ahau ki te whakaatu etahi o taku mahi i mahia ahau. I mahi ahau i te panui pukapuka me te korero-a- waha.

I roto i te mahi panui pukapuka i panui ahau i tetahi pukapuka. Amuri tena I whakaraupapahia ahau i te pukapuka ki nga wahanga e rima hei tuhi tetahi paku korero e pa ana ki tena pukapuka. Ano hoki i  rapuhia ahau i nga kupu hou i roto i te pukapuka hei whakapakehatia, ko te putake o tenei ki te panui me te tuhituhi hei whakapakari i te taha akonga o nga whainga o Te Reo Maori kia whakamarama i nga tikanga o tenei reo kua tuku iho ki a matou.

I roto i te mahi korero-a-waha I hanga whakaari ahau i tetahi paku korero e pa ana ki nga mahi ako i te kainga i waenganui te rahui. I te tuatahi i haurapa ahau i taku ra, amuri tena I tuhituhi ahau i tetahi paku korero e pa ana ki nga mahi, Whai muri tena I hanga whakaari ahau i tena korero mo nga mea i tuhi ahau.

Koia nei nga mea ako i ako ahau kei roto i taku akomanga Maori ko te tumanako hei oai te wairua ahakoa kei hea koe. Tena Koutou.

Robotics

 Kia ora. In Robotics we have been working on creating apps and learning about the technology behind creating apps. In this blog I would like to share a piece of my mahi I did. This is my Waiata app I created, unfortunately I cannot upload the program, however I was able to showcase a few photos of the "behind the scenes" process of this. Here are a few photos of what my app looks like. Enjoy...

I overall enjoyed creating this app and also enjoyed expanding my learning abilities in Robotics. I hope to learn more about creating apps in the future and learning more about technology.

Taku Tono Pahiki

 Kia ora, ko Jocelyn taku ingoa, nō te kāreti o Pewhairangi ahau. I roto i tenei pohi ka korero ahau mo aku mahi kei roto i taku akomanga tikanga-a-iwi. Ko te kaupapa mo tenei wā ko te Future Planning. Kei roto tenei kaupapa I akohia matou i te entrepreneur, mai tēna ka huri matou ki tētahi entrepreneur hei hanga tētahi pakihi, ara ko te business proposal. Ka korero ahau mo aku mahi e pā ana ki taku Business Proposal. 

Ko te mahi mo te business proposal ki te hanga tētahi pakihi me tētahi mea hei hoko atu. Ko te ingoa o taku pakihi I hanga ahau ko Ethereal Bijouterie, ko nga mea hei hoko atu ko te poroporo me te tāhei. Ko te tikanga o taku pakihi ki te hanga whakakai mo te hora i te maramatanga mo te aroha ki a koe ahakoa te tae o to kiri, to iwi, to ahua rānei.

Tirohia ki taku whakaaturanga kei konei.

Ka honotia tenei mahi ki te Kaupapa nui nā te mea ka puta mai he wheako e pā ana ki nga mahi o te entrepreneur, ano hoki tera pea ki te hiahia ētahi ki te whai tenei huarahi, ka taea.

Send It Challenge

 Kia ora. In Science we were given a challenge as apart of our current topic we are covering this term which is Forces and Motions. We were given materials and equipment and our task was to create "something" that would send the ping pong. The aim of this challenge was to see who can send the ping pong the furtherest. This activity really challenged my creativity skills in terms of "what" and "how" is my team going to create something that would even send a ping pong ball, however with encouragement and perseverance my team managed to create a catapult in the end that did send the ping pong ball.

My overall review on this challenge is that we made it in the end, managed to work as a team to create something that would send the ping pong AND I enjoyed it.

NZ Etrepeneur

 Kia ora. In the past few days I have been working on my NZ Entrepreneur for Social Studies and in this blog I would like to share with you my poster I made about my NZ Entrepreneur.

I chose to base my mahi around a famous entrepreneur by the name of Sir Richard Michael Hill. This entrepreneur is the founder of the well-known jewellery company Michael Hill. Michael Hill is a famous entrepreneur and jewellery designer who has been selling jewellery since 1979. After dropping out of high school at the age of 16 Michael soon went on to pursue a career as a concert violinist, however this did not go on for long as he would have had to start much younger in life to be a noteworthy musician. He then went to work for his uncle at a local jewellery store and then found the idea to create his jewellery store. The biggest obstacle Michael had to face was trying to find a business or somewhere to establish his business in order to pursue a career for jewellery making, he was refused by his uncle when trying to buy his business, so he proceeded to open his own store which later became a huge worldwide selling company.
