Communication In Space

Hello everyone, this blog post is about what we did in hurumanu 3 which is science. In Science, we are learning about communication in space. The teachers provided some questions for us to answer, its also space related. 

What are some ways we communicate on Earth? Pick 3

Telephone/Mobile phone - We can use telephone to communicate people in online, by calling or chatting.

How do these forms of communication work, what do they rely on or use?

If they use telephone, they would actually rely on the electrical signal. Because if you don't receive the signal, you won't be able to call with someone you want to call with.

Why can nobody hear you shout at space?

Well eventually, no one can hear you if you shout in space. It's because, Mars and Earth has a long distance between each other.

Is radio communication instant? Why/Why not?

Radio communication can be also instant or sometimes not, because it depends if the signal sends fast.

What does this mean for space missions from Earth to Mars?

Well communication in space is a bit hard, because if someone is in Earth and they tried to communicate with an astronaut in space using their device. That would actually take a long time for the astronauts to get the signal from the earth. That would take months.

Thank you for reading this post about communication in space, bye.

Parihaka

 Hello everyone, this blog post is about Parihaka. Parihaka is basically a peaceful village, there was no fighting. Our task was to learn more about Parihaka and answer the questions that my teacher prepared, like for example 'where is Parihaka located (Answer: Parihaka is located at the North Island)'. We had to answer 13 questions and blog it. 

Here is the work I have done:

1. What events lead up to Parihaka being established?

They established Parihaka for those people who have no where to live, like for example the European people confiscated their land. So they established Parihaka as a peaceful place for everyone to freely live in.

2. What was the ideas behind setting up Parihaka

Their idea to set up Parihaka was to make it peaceful, like no fighting. Just a peaceful place that people can live in. But until when the European soldiers attacked them.

They set up Parihaka for the people who had lost their land/homes.

3. Who established Parihaka?

Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi are both leaders, and both of them established Parihaka and made it a peaceful place. 

4. Where is Parihaka located?

Parihaka is located in the North Island near Plymouth.

5. When did the invasion of Parihaka occur?

About 1600 European troops attacked Parihaka on the 5th of November in 1881. 

6. How do you think the people of Parihaka were feeling when the troops entered their village?

The people of Parihaka were just calm, and it shows how peaceful they were. They greeted the troops and most of them were sitting on the ground, while the childrens were singing and dancing.

7. Do you think stories about the event of 5th November 1881 were reported on by the media at the time?

On the 5th of November the media wasn’t even invented that time, the media was invented in 1920. They didn’t have any television, but there were newspapers. They might have interviewed the european soldiers because the people from Parihaka were sent away and some were imprisoned.

8. How long were Te Whiti and Tohu imprisoned? Where? What did they intend to do when they returned to Parihaka?

Te Whiti and Tohu were imprisoned for about 6 months in Addington Gaol which is located in Christchurch. When Te Whiti and Tohu finally returned they 

9. What was the impact on Maori when the New Zealand Company and other representatives of “The Crown” confiscated or purchased land very cheaply from Maori? What happened to Maori who lost their land.

The Maori people got triggered because the New Zealand Company just bought their land very cheaply. Maori people were expecting the New Zealand Company would pay them with a big amount of money.

10) How do you think the New Zealand wars impacted on iwi and groups of people who were no longer able to live on their whenua?

Maori people might be feeling sad and triggered because they destroyed their spiritual buildings, or like historic places.

11) What does the word PEACE mean to you? What is “passive resistance”? What does the phrase mean?

Peace is like where everyone is just calm, they are not angry. Peace is also like no wars or fights. Passive resistance is like a person who just wants everything peaceful, like non-violent.

12) What other ways are there to solve major issues between people / countries that do not use violence as a way of controlling others or solving problems?

You can solve major problems by actually talking about it, or make some sort of deal that they won't fight anymore.

13) Who are some of the other world leaders who have used passive resistance? What was their cause and how is it peaceful?

Mahatma Ghandi was an Indian lawyer. Gandhi protested to the British people to treat Indian people evenly.

Gold Rush / Chinese Miners

 Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog post, yesterday I created a blog post about gold rush. It's still the same topic but different information. This is going to be about how other countries went to New Zealand to get gold from the gold rush.

Back in the days, there was a gold rush in Otago. Many different countries travelled to New Zealand to get gold from Gabriel's Gully, and China was part of those countries who went to New Zealand for the gold rush.

This is the task that we have to finish and post it in our blog:

Choose 4 discoveries you have made about Gold Mining and 4 discoveries you have made about the Chinese & their role in shaping Aotearoa New Zealand.

Here is 4 things that I learn't about Gold Mining:

1 - Gold mining wasn't easy, because they have to face many problems. Like the rain and the mud.

2 - Gabriel Read was the person who first discovered the gold in Otago.

3 - The gold rush is located in Otago at Gabriel's Gully.

4 - The gold rush was named after Gabriel Read, that's why it's called Gabriel's Gully.

Here are some Chinese facts:

1 - In the 1866 there was only about 200 Chinese miners that went to Otago to get some gold from the gold rush,

 2 - At 1868 more Chinese miners arrived at Otago to mine for gold.

3 -  There was about 5,000 (five thousand) Chinese miners in total that came to New Zealand.

4 - Not only Chinese miners came, some Chinese business came.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope that you have learn't something new.

Gold Rush

 Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog post. This blog post is about the gold rush that happened back in the days.

This term, we have a new task board and it's all about gold rush. The level that i'm doing is level 3/4, our first task is to create a blog post and create a brainstorm about gold rush. Like for example where the gold rush started and what year. We also have to explain what discrimination means. 

Here is a brainstorm that I created about the gold rush.

The gold rush in New Zealand is located in Otago. Gabriel Read first discovered the gold rush at 1861. It's also known as the Otago Gold Rush.

Gold rush is basically like you have to mine for the gold and when you find the gold you get to keep it. It takes a lot of hard work though. 

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is like a racist person who judges their appearance, like for example someone judges their gender.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope that you learnt something new about the Otago Gold Rush.
Bye.
