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.

volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle.[1]Therefore, on Earth, volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging, and most are found underwater. For example, a mid-oceanic ridge, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates whereas the Pacific Ring of Fire has volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the crust's plates, e.g., in the East African Rift and the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "plate hypothesis" volcanism.[2] Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so-called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another.

Erupting volcanoes can pose many hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. One such hazard is that volcanic ash can be a threat to aircraft, in particular those with jet engines where ash particles can be melted by the high operating temperature; the melted particles then adhere to the turbine blades and alter their shape, disrupting the operation of the turbine. Large eruptions can affect temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscure the sun and cool the Earth's lower atmosphere (or troposphere); however, they also absorb heat radiated from the Earth, thereby warming the upper atmosphere (or stratosphere). Historically, volcanic winters have caused catastrophic famines.

Chang-0 and the Moon

  Chang-0 and the Moon

Long, long ago, ten sun birds lived in a
volcano. Each day, one of the birds would
leave the volcano and fly up into the sky and
around the world, bringing heat and light to all
the land. One day, the ten birds decided to go
out on the same day. Ten sun birds in the sky
made it ten times hotter on Earth. The land
was scorched. The rivers and seas dried up.
Animals and crops died in the fields. It felt like
the world was about to catch fire. A traditional
tale from China, retold by Cherie Wu
Something had to be done quickly. The
Emperor sent for a young man named Hou
Yi, who was known to be a great archer.
“Save us,” said the Emperor. “Shoot down the
sun birds.” Hou Yi took ten arrows and a huge
bow, and he walked to the top of a hill. He
shot down the sun birds one by one, until
there was only one left in the sky. He let the
last one go so that it would continue to give
light and warmth to Earth. “You have saved
the world,” said the Emperor, and he rewarded
Hou Yi richly.

Hou Yi became known as a hero. Young men
flocked to him. They wanted Hou Yi to teach
them to be great archers, too. The Queen of
Heaven also saw what Hou Yi had done and
wanted to reward him. She gave him the Elixir
of Immortality and told him, “You deserve to
live a long and happy life. If you drink half the
elixir, you will live forever. If you drink all of it,
you will ascend to Heaven.” Time passed.
Hou Yi married a beautiful girl named
Chang-O. He told her about the elixir. “We will
pick a good day,” he said, “and share the elixir
so that we both become immortal. Then we can
live a
happy life together forever.”

But one of Hou Yi’s students, Feng Meng,
overheard this conversation. Feng Meng
wanted to become immortal, too. One day
when Hou Yi was out hunting and Chang-O
had gone to the market, Feng Meng sneaked
into their house. He wanted to steal the elixir
for himself, but Chang-O arrived back from the
market before he could find it. “What are you
doing here?” she demanded. “I want the elixir,”
Feng Meng shouted. “Where is it?” Chang-O
refused to tell him, but she knew Feng Meng
would soon find it. She rushed to the cupboard
where it was hidden, grabbed the bottle, and
ran for the door. But she was not quick
enough – Feng Meng stood in the way.
Feng Meng was a strong
man. Chang-O
knew that she could not escape,
a clear night, you will

be able to see her.

We growed a bouche of flowers because
when. We are all together we fell strony.

we also fell strong because we love each
other.
