Writing,16.10.2020

 On Saturday morning we got up really early and watched cartoons on T.V. There was this really funny bit on ‘What now’, when Mike tipped a bottle of milk over Tina’s head. I pretended to tip a bottle of milk over Sam’s head, but he didn't laugh. At nine o’clock Mum got up, we got told off for making a mess in the lounge. It wasn’t even that messy, there were just a few cushions and some lego on the floor. There was some milk on the floor too, but hardly any. Mum said we had to clean everything up. I ended up cleaning most of it up by myself, Sam just pretended to help.

Then we went to swimming lessons. I am in the Shark’s group and Sam is in the Tadpoles. I am the best at backstroke in our group. My swimming teacher said I might be able to go in the inter-club competition.

After swimming we went to McDonalds for lunch. “Yum”, I had a Big Mac Combo and Sam had a Cheeseburger Combo. We got some stickers with our meals, Mum had a coffee. She doesn’t like McDonalds’ food that much. 

When we got home. Sam and I made a hut in the basement under our house. We got some old furniture and set it up, it looked really good but it was quite dark.

We had macaroni cheese for tea. I hate macaroni cheese. I call it macaroni slime. Mum said I didn't have to eat it all, but I had to eat some. I ate a tiny bit, but then I ate lots of ice-cream for pudding so I wasn’t hungry at all.

animal new mnemonic

New words from reading

 Tuesday 23rd July 2019

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals. 

• Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom 
• Etc means etcetera
• Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West. 

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:

Dinosaurs

By Tisharn and Marlene

Paleontologist

A palaeontology is a scientist that studies on ancient things including dinosaurs.

Did you know that Joan Wiffen was the First person that found a fossil in new zealand When she found one she became famous. other people like Richard Owen and Mary Anning. People found a one big fossil they didn’t know What it was so they send it to London,England were Richard Owen was.  He looks at it.It was the biggest Animal on Earth it was called Moa. Mary Anning grew up in lyme regis on england’s south coast, an area known for its unusual fossils and shells. Because her family was poor.

Fossils

Fossils are dead animals or plants. They are usually skeletons found embedded in rock. Sometimes fossils are footprints or poo. Small animals or insects get stuck in tree sap which hardens and traps them forever. Large animals can get trapped in ice, or their carcass gets trapped in layers of rock. Over thousands of years, pressure builds up and the ground. Next the mould left is filled with minerals that form rock. This rock shape is the fossil - an exact replica of the dinosaurs. This process takes 10,000 years. Palaeontologists find fossils when the top layer of dirt or rock washes away. 

Age of dinosaurs

The triassic is a geologic period and system which spans 50.6 million from the end of the permian period 251.9 million years ago, to the beginning of the to the Jurassic Period 201.3 Mya. The Triassic is the first and shortest period of the Mesozoic Era.

200 Million years ago small mammals appear,150 Million years ago birds evolved from dinosaurs and 130 Million years ago First snakes evolved from lizards.

What were dinosaurs like?

Dinosaurs that had 2 feet were called bipedal and 4 feet dinosaurs were called quadruped. The 4 types of groups were called Theropods,sauropods,ankylosaur and pterosaur. Avian(birds) is a dinosaur that is a flying reptile,Dinosaurs ruled the land while the pterosaurs ruled the sky. Non Avian are not birds,they are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are not lizards because lizards legs are on the side of their body but dinosaurs legs are under their bodies,and dinosaurs have a hole in their skull unlike a lizard. Dinosaurs have modifications (which means changes) such as spikes, armour, horns or crests. For example a Triceratops have horns and crest to protect them. Sauropods and ankylosaur are herbivores (only eat plants),Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptor are carnivores (only meat eaters). Ornithomimus and Oviraptor were omnivores(meat and plant eaters) and they also ate eggs and insects. All dinosaurs have babies by laying eggs,but if the dinosaur that is looking after the egg is gone to get food it moves the egg and the rest of the clade (Family) looked after the egg. Some dinosaurs were small and some dinosaurs were big. For example A t rex is 40 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet long.A Xixianykus is 20 cm tall and 50 cm long.T rex could run 45 miles per hour and a velociraptor can run 64 km per hour.

Extinction event

An extinction event is something when all the animals die and there is no more left.

66 million years ago a meteor hit the earth and it made earthquakes also volcanic eruptions. The other thing people think is that the dinosaurs froze and starved to death.

Age of mammals

Cenzosoic Era means Age of mammals. It is made up of three time periods; Palaeogene period (65-23 mya), Neogene period (23- 2.6 mya) and Quaternary period (2.6-0 mya). Hominins (Humans that walked on 2 feet)Hominins were humans that could start walking on 2 feet, Humans arrived in New Zealand was in the Quaternary period. The other mammals that were living in neogene period was Alligator, mammoth, crocodiles, turtles and other kinds of snakes. The Titanoboa was as long as a bus,it was also  the top of the food chain and when it eats it constraints its prey.

Dinosaur knowledge

Prior Knowledge	In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal Predator Dino is the root word ‘Saurs’ means something Species  Extinct  Huge Large bones Long necks Eggs  Sharp teeth Long tails Eat people Different kinds Spikes Horns Mammals 4 legs	Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same Carnivore means a meat eater Herbivore means a plant eater Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).  Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.  They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.  Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.  Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.	Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds. Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy Diverse means a big range Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.  Clade means family. Lineage means ancestors/descendants  Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs. Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.  Hominins existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.  People did not exist when dinosaurs existed.	Adaptation is something that changes over time.  Ecology - how animals relate to each other Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.  Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.  There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.  Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and  Quaternary period. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.  Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.

PARIHAKA

First we remembered everything we could from last week.

Last week we learnt that there was something called the New Zealand Land Wars that

happened between 1845-1872. It was all about who controlled the land in NZ. It was complicated

because some land was traded fairly and some was taken. The wars were imbalanced (unfair)

because the Europeans had more manpower (people), and a higher quantity and quality of

weapons (more of them and better ones). The Maoris were outnumbered so they had to use

secret plans and some guerilla warfare tactics in order to fight back.

The big idea about this is that the two groups of people viewed the land differently - Maori’s held a

collectivist viewpoint, where land and other resources (oceans, fish, forests) should be cared for and

shared by everyone. Europeans held an individualistic viewpoint, and wanted to own the land in order

to have farms and make money. Even today there viewpoints cause conflict around the world.

Parihaka

Our first questions -

Junefia - What does Parihaka mean?

Parihaka means it is the name of their village or their place.

Marlene - why did the people send the kids out?

They didn't want them to get hert.

Dyzon - why were the two guys sent to prison for 16 months?

Te whiti and his friend tohu went to jail cause the europeans thought that if they take the leaders of the

tribe they all would run away, but they didn’t.

Marilyn - why was the village surrounded by soldiers?

Lynch - what people left the land that Parihaka was built on? (Who was there before them?) T

here

was a Maori tribe that lived there but we don’t know who. They got sent off the land by the government

and the land was claimed for Europeans but they didn’t build on it for ten years.

Garth - why did Te Whiti go to jail?

Te Whiti was sent to jail because he was the leader of the Maoris and the Pakehas wanted the land

back to make farms. But when he was in jail, his people were scared but did not run away from the

land. They protected it.

Anittah - was there a reason Why all the Maori men went to jail?

So when the men go the Children and the ladies will get scared and leave.

Ana - why were the protectors put in jail?

The government put the mens in jail so they could scare the womens and children away and they

could take the land back, but they didn’t run away they protected the land.

Maria - why did the government promise the people land?

So the government promised to them a piece of land for them to live on. And in ten years no one

claim to live on the land so they built a new village called Parihaka.

Moana - why did 200 children block the road?

Because the europeans did not want them to get harmed or killed them.

Wesley - does Parihaka still exist?

Yes the Parihaka village still exist and Maori people still live there and honour the history

Tisharn - why was Parihaka famous?

Because he was a peaceful man and he taught it to a lot of the maori.

Angellynah - why did the soldiers burn the peoples houses down and destroy their crops?

Cause they soldiers thought that the land was theirs and they wanted to get off the land.

Michael - How was the government able to keep Te Whiti and Tohu for 16 months without a trial??

The

government was made up of Europeans so they had control. There was no Maoris in the government to

defend Te Whiti and

Tohu, so they just did what they wanted.

Tsai - Why did the Europeans want the land?

Because they were jalless that the maori had land and the parihaka did not. They wanted to make farms.

Joshua/Rakel - why did the Maori people build their new village at Parihaka?

They built land because the europeans government didn't give them land so they had to build

some new land and they called it parihaka and their leader was called te whiti.

Janett - Why did the government let the men go out of jail?

Because the jail have to many parihaka mens in the jail and the they set them free.

Langiola - Why did the people offer the soldiers 500 loaves of bread?

So there kids can survie and themselves because there in a war so the can fight people to. They

have to be full with food so they cant die cause they have to protect people that are in danger

and not make themselves or anyone, else stave because together we are strong we are family

because we all love each other so much.

Mathew - Why is this story famous in NZ?

The Maoris were peaceful.

Litia - Why was Te Whiti preaching to the people? What was he preaching about?

He was preaching by peace. Cause he wanted to make people peace full like how he is.

Rona - What happened at the end of the story? What did the people of Parihaka do?

Founded in the mid-1860s, Parihaka was soon attracting dispossessed and disillusioned

Māori from around the country.

Miss Ashley - where is the village of Parihaka? Where were the prisons kept?

The village of Parihaka is near the coast by Taranaki. The prisoners from Parihaka were sent to jails in

different places all over NZ. The most famous one was in Dunedin, and it was pretty much a cave. The

men were kept in caves without trial. When they were released they went ship back to Taranaki.

Big ideas -

• Maori were peaceful!
• Europeans wanted land to make farms.
• Maori were kind and offered the soldiers food.
• The government promised them land, but they never gave it.
