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.

Business Enterprise / Market Day

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog! This post is about the business enterprise. 

Business enterprise is when we have to create a business it can be anything, like cultural or social. We have to be in a group of four to start doing our bussiness enterprise plan. My teammates were Elisha (aka-also known as my sister), Losalini / Linny and Stephanie. Elisha was the CEO, Losalini/Linny was the production manager. Stephanie was the marketing manager and I was the finance manager.

The marketing day was happening in September 23, and we have to get all of our products ready here is a picture of our stand

Summary of the day.

- The market day was very sunny, and it was also very crowded. It was fun in the market day because we get to buy people's product, like slime and stuffs. There was also foods. 

What did you like

- I like the part where we can buy any product from different Kahui (Riroriro, Mohua, Tieke). People we're also creative because of the logo and the wrapping part.

What would you change for the next time?

- I would change our product and the price of our product, because our product is a like a many stuffs in one package. Our company name is Chie Gifts (blessed with wisdom). It would be better if we didn't do like a gift bags because it also cost a lot. If we separate them, we would get a big profit.

How must did it cost to make your products/services? How much did you borrow?
- All the products that we both costed 20 dollars. We borrowed 19 dollars.

How much money did you mark on Market Day?

- We made about 27 dollars by our product.

What was your total profit?

- We earned 27 dollars but we have to give 20 dollars to the bank which makes our profit $7.

Was this what you expected? Why/why not?

- I expected that our profit is $7, because before we made the product we figured out our profit.

What could have influenced this?

- The reason why we made $7 dollars its because of the quantity of our product. We only had 9 gift bags and it cost $3 each. 7x3=27-20=$7.

Thank you for reading this post, bye!

Te Whare Tapa Wha

 Hello everyone,

Welcome back to my blog. This post is about Te Whare Tapa Wha, it's like a Maori word and it means "Health and well being".

There is Te Taha Hinegaro (Mental well being), Te Taha Wairua (Spiritual well being), Te Taha Tinana (Physical well being) and Te Taha Whanau (Family and social connection). It's like pillars of the house, when you try to build a house without pillar your house will just collapse. 

Here is a picture that related to Te Whare Tapa Wha.

For our task, we are supposed to create an example of how we show Te Whare Tapa Wha. 

Here is my work:

Te Taha Hinegaro (Mental well being): I normally draw on my sketch pad because it makes me relax. Like for example I just draw outfits. 

Te Taha Wairua (Spiritual well being): I show Te Taha Wairua by praying everytime before eating my food, I also pray before sleeping at night. Also going to church.

Te Taha Tinana (Physical well being): I show physical well being by walking.

Te Taha Whanau (Family and social connection): I show family and social connection by hanging out with my family, e.g. going shopping.

Whenua (Land, roots): I show whenua by being connected with my friends and family, e.g. being in contact with them.

Thank you for reading this post, goodbye!

Becoming A Martian

Hello,

Welcome back to my blog, this blog is about Mars. I am going to explain what we did in hurumanu 3 with Miss Bremner and Mrs Allan.

We had to a read some sort of story that gives information about Mars, e.g. facts about Mars. We have to answer 5 questions that are related in the story, and we have read the story clearly so that I can find the answer.

Here is my answers for the questions:

1. When can a mission to Mars (or from Mars) happen? Why?

Every twenty-six months is the only way to go to Mars because they are close together and you wont need to stay in the spaceship for so long to reach Mars.

2. What are two geological features of Mars?

Mars is also known as the red planet because of it's colour.

Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the universe (from Mars).

3. What is one possible solution form the story about oxygen on Mars?

NASA was planning to send a machine that produce oxygen by 2020.

4. If it doesn't rain on Mars, where does the water come from?

The water in Mars is underneath, they have to dig for it melt the ice and clean it so that they can drink it.

5. How will people get food on Mars? What is a possible solution.

If they will bring their own food it will last for twenty-six months.

Questions:

Do you want to go to Mars? Why?

That's all for this post, I hope you have learnt something new.

Bye!
