Health - Assessment

Wellbeings:
Physical=Taha tinana
Social= Taha whanau
Mental=Taha Hinengaro
Spiritual=Taha wairua

Meaning of whare tapa wha:
The meaning of whare tapa wha is a metaphor for the walls of a house = to our wellbeings. If one of the walls of the house fall (e.g. physical, social, mental and spiritual) then the person will become unstable like if your mental wellbeing is down then you will be down in the slumps and too sad or angry to be communicated with.

The concept of Hauora:
The concept of Hauora is that you can reflect on your own well beings and see if you can fix or build on them so that you can be a better person in general and that you don't have problems with e.g. Communicating with people, partaking in sports, connecting with your environment, maybe having a religion which you can believe in and being more social in general.

Scenario 1: effects on well-being

Social: Not being able to communicate with others because of a lack of knowledge around English.
Not being able to partake in class as well because of the lack of knowledge around English.

Mental: Being sad at school since Owen can't speak to others, having a negative opinion on subjects and maybe showing no compassion to others due to low morale. Having no energy to participate in activities due to mind being overflown by emotions.

Physical: Not talking to others because of the lack of knowledge in English and also not playing sports or games with pupils. Not going out to socialise on the weekends and also no sleepovers or play-days
 due to having no friends. Having headaches due to stress because of Owen struggling to understand people speaking English.

Spiritual: Not listening to teachers or others and ignoring everyone in general. Believing that no one wants to help him and disobeying rules.

To overcome bad wellbeing:

Social: Owen asks parents for extra help in learning English and to maybe get professional help.
Use the help (if he does get it) to help himself in school so that he can understand people.

Mental: To Speak to parents, siblings or someone close and tell them about worries and struggles and how to overcome them. Once Owen has done it then he will be less stressed

Physical: Try to play with the other kids by visualisation and learning how to play their games through sight. Try and understand the work in school by asking if there is someone who can understand Owen.

Spiritual: For Owen to believe in himself that he can learn English and to try to understand what others have to say. Use what beliefs he already have and use them to help himself in school.

Business Studies - Money advantages vs disadvantages


Advantages of money:
Disadvantages of money:
Being able to pay for items
Can be stolen
Pay bills
Have to work ridiculous hours at bad jobs for cash that will be wasted
Give to loved ones and friends as a gift
Lost easily
Can be reserved
Start arguments
Pay others for service. E.g. Mechanic, fast food and builders
Can be counterfeited
Bribing
Inflation due to one item being purchased to a point at which there’s not much left to be sold
Pay for what you want
Used as a ransom
Get what you dream about
Used as blackmail



Summary: In conclusion, money has its ups and downs but it is usually reliable. It can keep you alive and get your needs so that you won’t die. In a way, money is flawed and can be exploited. E.g. counterfeiting, bribing and blackmail. So it won’t all ways be on our side or assist you when you need its help.

NZ Government Compare and Contrast Paragraph

Today in Power to the People Hurumanu, we learnt about the Maori authority System and the British Settler Government.

This Compare and Contrast is about two systems

Introduce your idea: In NZ there were two types of Governments. One was the Maori authority System, the other British Settler Government.

The Maori authority system was not useful since there was no judges, police or prisons so criminals were only punished by another family which is flawed in some way. Tapu's could be flawed since it would be up to the leaders of the region or anyone in power to punish.

Whereas the British Settler Government system is more built up to be successful since there's a law to control society and if the laws were broken there was set punishments depending on the amount of damage caused.

This matters because it shines a light on the differences between Maori and British and the history of NZ governments.

Definitions of the scientific method

Hypothesis: An educated guess

Equipment: The materials which will be used for the experiment.

Steps: The order in which you carry out the experiment.

Conclusion: Findings and research summarised together.

Findings: What you have found out.

AIM: what we want to find out.

Long Jump technique:
1. Run up is 21 steps
2. Take off will be from the second marker
3. Land will be measured from the back foot
4. Land with both feet together
5. If you are over the second marker when you jump it is a foul jump

Kiwi ingenuity - evaluation ideas

1.  Which one of these examples of kiwi ingenuity do you think would be:

a. Most beneficial: Three calf feeder because it gives you extra time to do on the farm while you feed three calves at a time.
b. least beneficial: The "Scootboard" since it defies the idea of the skateboard by putting handlebars to one which can't turn and is kind of a scooter.


2. Two new Zealander examples which would get other country's attention:

a. The mountain buggy because anyone mother who likes going on walks on rocky terrain would like to bring their baby with them in a buggy which can climb terrain and the people in the other countries could realise how good kiwi ingenuity is by the creation of which they are using and the people who thought about the idea in NZ.

b.Spreadable butter for the people who prefer butter and want butter which can be spread even when cold and the people in the other countries could realise how good kiwi ingenuity is by the creation they are using because of the easy-use.
