Women in Victorian Britain

 Women in Victorian society had one main role in life and that was to marry and to take part in their husbands interests and business but before marriage the women would have to learn housewife skills such as weaving, cooking, washing, and cleaning the house unless they were of a wealthy family. If they were wealthy they did not always have to learn these skills because their maids would take care of the household chores. Women were also not allowed to be educated or gain any knowledge out of the home because it was a ‘mans world’. Her place was at home where on a veritable pedestal if one could afford. 

Women were denied the opportunity to work or even take part in a ‘mans world’ so they spent their formative lives in preparation for marriage. The women expected the men to take care of them and provide for them since they were unable to provide for themselves.

Victorian men expected women to possess feminine qualities as well as innocence or else they would not be ‘marriage potential’.  Innocence was demanded from the girls in the class and they must not only be innocent but shall also give the impression of being innocent.

If a man or woman did not possess desirable qualities by the Victorian society then the opposite sex may have dismissed the person as an unsuitable mate.

The expectations men had for women caused them to prepare themselves for marriage and gave women hardly any freedom at all. The men’s expectations had pressured women to be the ideal Victorian woman society had always expected them to be. The women had to prepare for what was to come of their lives and it determined their future and if a woman did not meet up with the expectations of the Victorian male she would then end up unmarried/single.

Just as men had expectations for the ideal Victorian women, the women and the rest of society had expectations for the ideal Victorian man.

Where and when did this happen?

20th June 1837 - 22nd January 1901 

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

New Zealand places

Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post. Today I will be showing you something I did in wananga. we had to write facts about each place that was marked on the map. The facts are kinda blurry so i'll write them down again.

Facts 

Tasman sea is 1,400 miles

North Island is known for Hawkes bay, wine, sunshine, art deco, architecture, and cape kidnappers

Christchurch is the oldest city in New Zealand

Auckland has the largest Polynesian population in the whole world

The Pacific Ocean is the deepest ocean with the deepest trenches

Wellington is the capital city

South island had the most beautiful places such as golden beaches and dense rainforests

South pacific ocean covers more then 30% of the earths ocean

ICT

My Semester in ICT
Summary blog post

During this semester we have learned multiple things using an HP desk computer. In the first term, we learned about cybersafety and Basic document layouts, etc.

What we were learning in term 1

Last term we learned many things. One of my favorites from the last term was when we were doing basic designing which was when we did these Disney posters and Kids eat free. The way we had to design it was by following a piece of paper and designing for ourselves such as changing the font, using different shapes and sizes, and different coloring. I think we had to make 3 or 4 each but I think I only ended up making 3 of the Disney one and 2 of the kids eat free. This was split into 2 parts and we all did these in different weeks.

One of the things that we did that term was learning about cyber safety and after we had learned more about it we had to create a Kahoot. We got assigned work on typing.com that we had to do where we had to answer. Here is the Kahoot that I had made.

What we were learning in term 2

Word Document

During the time that we were using Pronto books, we were learning how to break our texts and put them into columns. I don't actually remember a whole lot from this since it was from the very start of the term and we have learnt heaps of other things after this. Some of the work from the pronto book that we had to do was Bonsai and At the movies.

Publisher

When using publisher we were learning how to make calendars. We had to start from scratch. I learned how to add a picture and make it as a background. publisher was a simple app and it was almost like google slides but it just had more features to it. Using publisher it was easy to present work like how we made a calendar and the app publisher was very helpful because everything I needed was on there. our task was to make a 2021 calendar but unfortunately, I didn't get to finish it all because I forgot to save it so it all deleted on me. I added photos into my calendar, and it was based on cherry blossoms.

Excel

The last tool that we used for this was excel.  In my opinion, excel was one of my favorites out of all of the tools that we had learned before. Using Excel We learned how to merge texts, Auto sum (where the computer will answer the question for you whether it's multiplication or times), and more. This was probably one of the more challenging tools we used but it was also one of the more exciting tools. But here is the work that I worked on in excel.

Conclusion:

So it has come to an end to the first semester of ICT. ICT was full of work, but I am happy that I choose it because I got to learn many things using different tools on Microsoft. My favorite thing that we did in ICT was using excel and publisher. To sum it all up and think that this term of ICT was very helpful and also very fun. 

Restore our earth

Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post for this year. Today I will be talking about something that we did in wananga called 'Restore our earth' where we had to read a text and answer questions.

1. Which of the following are not caused by Human activity?

           Volcanos

• 2015 around 190 countries signed the Paris agreement

• 2030 salads of petrol and diesel will end in the UK

• 2019 and area of forest size of a football field  was cut down each year

• 1970 it began in the us

  

2. Find and copy one word which shows that climate change on earth is not caused by Nature? Endangered: At the risk of being extinct.

3. Fill in the missing words: Trees produce valuable oxygen and help absorb Co2  from the atmosphere.

4. How much Plastic is currently on earth? about 9 billion tons

5. Reforestation: Reforestation helps absorb carbon dioxide and helps restore the habitats of many animals.

6. Widely manufactured: lots of people make it.

7. Paris agreement: I think they choose to sign the agreement because people want to help make the earth a better, cleaner, and safer place. 

8. Summary: I think that it is very important to restore our world because if climate change starts to change more it would affect our living space and life, and we want our oceans and forests to be clean. 

Rising water experiment

Equipment-

Petri dish
Water
Candle
Vase/Cup
Matches or a lighter

Steps-

Get all of your equipment and set it up

Put the candle inside one side of the petri dish (preferably the higher side) 

Fill the dish up with water but enough so it doesn't overflow the candle or the sides

Light your candle on fire with either a lighter or matches

Put the cup on top of the candle and watch what happens.

Aim: To see what happens to the water level when the candle is covered.

Hypothesis: 

What do you predict will happen? Idk

Results: The water rose when the cup was put on top of the petri dish and the candle blew out and rose too.

What did you see happen in detail? I saw the water rise and the candle blow out.

When you did what? When the candle was lit.

Conclusion/why

In conclusion, the experiment worked well. Idk

Samoan Language week

 Talofa! The first of June marks beautiful Samoa’s Independence Day and it’s time to celebrate this proud Polynesian nation’s culture and heritage. Samoa is one of the most unique destinations for Pacific island-lovers, and a paradise in which travelers will uncover plenty more than gorgeous white-sand beaches and crystal clear lagoons. In honor of Samoa’s birthday, here are some interesting facts about Samoa.

 This country is located in the Pacific Ocean south of the equator. Samoa is located in Oceania.

Samoa belongs to the Polynesian islands. The group of islands lie halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. 

 Samoa consists of two main islands called Savaìi and Upolu and several smaller islands and islets.

The largest island of Samoa is Savaìi and the most populated island is Upolu. These islands are of volcanic origin. 

 About sixty percent of the country is forested. 

The highest peak is Mount Silisili, also called Mauga Silisili with a height of 1,858 m/ 6096 ft.

The capital city is called Apia and is home to about 38,000 people.

 

Crystallization

Last week in science we made crystals using borax to see how they would separate and form from two different substances.

Aim - what was the purpose of crystallization?

To use crystallization to separate borax from water.

Results - the results weren't what I had expected them to be. I had thought that maybe the crystals would have grown bigger but they were really small. The crystals that had formed on the pipe cleaner grew big and on the bottom but when they broke off they were small. 

Conclusion - We dissolve the borax in the water. We made a concentrated solution and using crystallization we separated the borax from the water.

Solute borax 

Solvent water 

Equipment - beaker, heat mat, tripod, spatula, Gauze mat, bunsen burner, borax, pipe cleaner

Methos - boil water in a beaker on a gauze mat and tripod over a bunsen burner. when boiled turn the gas off. Add spatula heaps of borax, waiting for it to dissolve until adding more. When the solution is saturated leave to cool with a pipe cleaner suspended in the beaker

Discussion - where do crystallization useful in the real world? why do crystals make interesting shapes?

To make salt and sugar. Jewelry included.

Things I am grateful for

 Today in wananga we had to pick something out of this resilience slideshow and write something about the task that you chose. The task that I chose was to write down 5 things each day for a week that I am grateful for. The next one that I'm planning to do is either the kiwi kids news or create a poster on wellbeing.

 I am grateful for going to school so that I can be educated and get a good job.

I am grateful to have edible food to bring to school every day.

I am grateful to have warm clothes that I can wear outside when it is cold.

I am grateful for having a family.

I am grateful for weekends so that we get a break in the week.

Day 2

I am grateful for the sun because it keeps us warm

I am grateful when it rains because then all the plants get watered

I am grateful to have a Chromebook to be able to do school work

I am grateful to have chairs and tables so that I don't have to sit on the ground

I am grateful that my bag is always fill with the materials I need for the day

Science - Dilution and Filtration

 Last week in science we mixed Copper nitrate (blue) and sodium hydroxide (clear) to make a bright blue precipitate.

Which test tube had the most concentrated sampler of copper nitrate?

First test tube

When we added water what were we doing to the concentration of the solution?

Which concentration of copper nitrate formed the most precipitate, why do you think this is the case?

First test tube

Health/Games

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog. Today I will be talking about a 'game' that we did during health. It was where we have a partner and they have to describe what is on the picture and you have to draw what they describe to you. You aren't allowed to look at the picture and they aren't allowed to look at your picture and once done it had to be checked with the teacher and if it's not good enough then you kinda have to start again. The picture that was being described to me was a colorful geometric one with a circle in the middle. The circle had words written inside it. The picture that I had to describe to my partner was a huge rock with a cliff behind it at a beach. There was a sunset that was hiding behind the sea. 

Yea that's kinda it. Boring

• What IP skill did you show/use today? Did you use any warm fuzzies?

The IP skill that I think I used was active listening because I had to listen to what my partner was saying to me so that I could draw what they were describing. I think I used nice work as a warm fuzzy.

• How did it help with the success/lack of success, of the activity?

The warm fuzzies helped me to be proud of what I had drawn. Idk.

• Who did you work with that went well today?

I worked with Khaylanie

• If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently?

I don't know what I would do differently.

• What level of Helisons behaviour model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this

I think I was working at level 3 again for this. I made sure that I put the equipment back and that I was prepared for the activity.

Marshmallow challenge

 Today in health we did a little game called the marshmallow tower challenge. For this, we got 12 minutes to be able to build the tallest and most stable tower only using 8 skewers and 12 marshmallows. We were only allowed to use the cup and the materials we were given by the teacher only. Our goal for this game was to use the IP skills that we had chosen beforehand and work on that skill and if we used any warm fuzzies.

Here are the questions that we had to answer:

What IP skill did you use/show today? Did you use any warm fuzzies?

The IP skill that I chose was to use active listening and the warm fuzzies that I used were to say nice...

How did it help with the success/lack of success of the activity?

I'm not sure.

Who did you work with that went well today?

Khaylanie.

If you were to do it again, how would you do it differently?

I wouldn't break the sticks and tear apart the marshmallows.

What level of helisons behaviour model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this.

I worked at level 3. I think I was working at level 3 again for this. I made sure that I put the equipment back and that I was prepared for the activity.

Rat disection

Hi guys and welcome back to another boring blog. Today I will be posting about what we did last week for our rat dissection and what happened when we cut it open and look at its organs. It smelled really bad and was kinda hard to cut open but once you started it, it pretty easy to carry on cutting the rest of it. Something that I didn't expect when I cut it open was when I pulled the large intestines out and how long it actually was. I had never really thought about that kind of thing until cutting the rat open and how everything sits in one's body.

Materials that we used were-

1. Scalpel
2. Scissors
3. wax tray
4. Gloves
5. (mask if you have one)
6. 6 Pins
7. Rat
8. Newspaper

Steps

1. Get all of your equipment ready
2. Put your gloves on and set the table down with the newspaper
3. Pin the legs and arms of the rat
4. Cut open the skin of the rat down the middle far enough to pull the skin off and pin the skin down
5. Carefully cut open the rat without damaging any of the organs inside
6. Try and find the stomach and identify the large and small intestine
7. One finished with the rat dispose of it in a bag and throw it away it the red bin

Cultural terms

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog for this year. Today I will be talking about something that we have been doing in wananga since today period 2. We have a cultural kete soon and we had to make a splat presentation on a google drawing. We had to work with a few words and find the definition for them along with pictures but I didn't want to add a picture because it would have made the drawing bulky and squished so I'm going to add a few under the presentation.

Here is the google drawing and some pictures...

Pobble 365

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog. Today I will be talking about pobble 365. If you don't know what pobble is it is a site where you can pick any day of any month and you have a story started with questions that you need to answer. I have come on here to show it to you and what kind of questions would be asked. I have made about 4 or 5 so far. I'm not a big fan of pobble and I don't enjoy doing it but that just my opinion. I will only be showing 1 or else this blog post would be very long and I know you would get bored of ust reading kind of the same thing over and over again.

Chinese New Years

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog. Today I am going to be sharing a little bit about the Chinese New Year even though it finished ages ago. I made a short slide about it and have to post it on my blog. I don't have much information about it because I didn't know a whole heap about what it's bout but just in this little slideshow I kinda hope that you will learn something from this slide and if you don't just search up Chinese new years in google or something.

Learning in ICT

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post. Last week I made a Kahoot on how to stay safe while on the internet and on that Kahoot it has 9 questions for u to answer. If you don't know what Kahoot is, it is basically an app that you can either pay or host. It gives you random questions about the topic and answers that you have to try and get right by either guessing or if you already know the answer. My Kahoot is all about cyber safety and how to stay safe online and who you should share personal info with.

Word documents

February 25/2/2021 we learned how to use the app word on a Microsoft computer. I wont lemme show the picture so ill have to try another time when it will acytually work with me and show the picture.
