Hur 1 Earthquake Heroes!

Hi readers. In our Hurumanu one subject, we have been researching and reading articles about the Earthquake in Christchurch. The massive earthquake in Christchurch was in 2011which destroyed a huge amount of damage to the Cathedral building and some other buildings near it. It happened on February 22 at 12:51 pm, it happened to be a 6.3 magnitude earthquake which is super strong and brutal. There were over one hundred and seventy thousands buildings that got destroyed and demolished by the 6.3 magnitude earthquake. And lots of fire-fighters, police officers, St Johns and S.A.V which stand for Student Valuntered Army. And also there were ordinary people who helped people out of their buildings who are very thoughtful and committed. Thanks to them which some of them received a bravery award for doing the job successfully. 

we had some few interesting questions to research which made it really enjoyable because I was learning something new. And I placed my work to a google drawing which made it more attractive and much more creative. Then I added some pictures, changed the backgrounds and made the fonts different so that the page won't look blank. 

Here is my DLO:

Thank you guys so much for reading my blog post and I hope I didn't waste any of your time:)

Anne Frank | House tour

Welcome back to my blog. This is a blog post that I forgot to published last year! 'But here it is'. 

In today's blog post, I will be showing you a link of Anne Frank's house and you can have a tour, but before I show you I will summarise the story a little bit and tell you what I learned. 

So the main reason why Anne Frank and her family is in hiding in the annexe because Margot (Anne sister) got called up by labour camp, which her family didn't believe that it was about work so they decided to go to hiding in the annexe. There were also problems that Anne face when in hiding and in war, like Anne Frank can't sleep every night because of all the aircraft and the gunshots going on every night. There were also people having arguments with each other and small things like tables. She was also living with the same person every second which gets her annoyed. She also was having some troubles because she couldn't go outside and can't see the sun because if she is willing to go outside they might get caught by the German soldiers, and they also block their windows with black curtains. There were a lot of problems that Anne was facing in the annexe. 

Anne Frank and her family were hiding for almost two years and one month which is seven hundred and sixty-one days. Imagine that, compare that to your lockdown and think about how much freedom you had. And the lockdown wasn't really long for us, but imagine you had a lockdown for two years, can't go outside, can't see the light and living with the same person every day.

Do you think you enjoyed the book? I, of course, did enjoy the book because of its non-fiction story and I like non-fiction books rather than fiction books. Another reason why I like the book is because of how Anne told how she feels in the place during world war 2 and explained all the problems she went through with her family. The book is so interesting and detailed because I can imagine what's happening during the situation that Anne and her family faced. 

what I learned:

I learned plenty of stuff in the Jewish religion such as celebrating Hanukkah instead of Christmas, which is celebrated with nine candles. In world war 2 they had ration books which have all the food they need to purchase and how much quantities they have to buy. Hitler doesn't like people with blond hair and blue eyes which means he wants to eliminate Jewish people because they have blue eyes and blond hair. I learned a lot of things about the concentration camp and the point of the concentration camp is to murder all the Jewish people. And Jewish also had Saint Nicholas day which they think of as Santa, because he gave money to the poor, and sacrifice his life. He also helped children by giving them presents.

Hands on Fire

Welcome back, bloggers. In our Science class, we have been doing an experiment called hands-on fire which literally means chemicals, oxygen and gas on our hands, that burns if you touch it, or even if you get close to it, it is very hot. But we didn't burn our hands, we had this substance with bubbles that protected us from the fire. And as well we had to finish it off by writing the four senses. 

Senses: 

What I felt? 

I felt super ponderous and my heart pounding quickly as one mile per minute. And it was really hot that it was kinda burning my hands into little pieces of ashes. 

What I saw?

I saw the awesome vivid fires swelling my hands up to my elbow like I was fireproof. The blazing wall fire of wall raised up really high almost the top of the ceiling. And after a few seconds, I saw the fire disappeared on my hand like thin air. 

I heard? 

The hot blazing fire made a fwooooosh noise when my hands were getting light up with a lighter. The bubbles were sizzling like food getting cook in a pot as I scoop it out from the container.

What it smelled like? 

The bubble of gas smelled like gasoline from the petrol stations, like it was actually making you suffer and poisoned. 

I hope you guys had an amazing experience reading my blog post and learned something new.

Hurumanu 1| Heroes

 Welcome back, readers. In our Hurumanu one class, we are focusing on our heroes and what makes a superhero. 

So our first task was to think of a representative hero that did something good for the country or just in general (Family, teachers etc) and is special to us. And the superhero that I really love is James cook because he was so intelligent that he discovered the North and the South of New Zealand while on a ship. He was so fearless that he was even discovered the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, and prove that the Terra Australis is non-existing. The attributes that make him special was exploring and discovering the world, and have resilience and commitment. He was also respectful and kind to people and sacrificed his life for the world. He died on the surface of the beach of Hawaii on February 14, 1779, and got stabbed straight to the neck of an islander. I have a massive amount of respect for him because he served his life for the world and did a lot of amazing things for the world. 

And our second task was to draw our character on our books and write attributes (Descriptive words) around them.

Here is my work:
