Water Explanation.

Why do you need to keep water clean?

So that the water of the earth can be clean and healthy, other many people have been

wasting water. It’s important to keep water away from that type of rubbish, when drinking water

make sure you stay healthy. Many people have not been taking care of clean water.

Drinking water, also known as potable water, is water that is safe to drink or to use for

when you eat.


For Example, all the animals including plants need to live. How do they live? They need water.

Plants have specific needs: light, air, water, nutrients, and space to survive and reproduce.

Almost all plants need these five things to survive, light. Water is one of the most important

substances for life on earth to function. It is equally important for humans as well as animals.


Even though the earth consists 70% of water, we could only use an extremely small part of it,

like when we drink water. 97% of the water is salty, like in the beach. 2% of the water is frozen.

Water covers about 71% of the earths surface. Water is a precious resource found on earth.

It is very essential to us. It is used in our daily needs like drinking, washing the clothes.


Water is inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance.

It's also too polluted to swim in and three quarters of native freshwater face. We need water for

drinking, cooking, bathing and cleaning. without water, life would be impossible on the planet.

Water is found on earth in the form of rivers, oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, streams and glaciers.

The composition of water remains the same throughout the earth.

Task Description: Our next task was to put the writing into a whole explanation and wrote our own introduction including our conclusion added with our SEE paragraphs on.

Tongan History.

 The video I watched was about Tongan people wearing Ta’ovala. In the video it shows Tongan people wearing them including their own tupenu and kafa. You're probably wondering what a Kafa is? A Kafa is similar to a rope. It could be hardened and also soft, it is also something that wraps around your waist when you wear a Ta’ovala. Also about other important things in Tonga


You could also see them wearing it to church when you're there. Including your So-te as well. Doesn’t matter if you don’t have a Ta’ovala then just bring whatever you have like your Tupenu. They all wear it to any occasions that are special like a funeral, a dance, anything. When going to dances or Performances they wear Ta’ovala with leaves around their waist, also heaps of coconut oil on themselves.


The reason why they wear coconut oil is because it is a celebration of the symmetry of the human body as well as a mark of ancestral identity. When it comes to funerals, that’s like the saddest thing ever, because it’s one of your elders that passed on, or your family members. They’ll be put in a coffin, before that they clean the person up and get put in the coffin.

When Tongans go to a funeral, they are all dressed in black.


It’s the same, Tupenu, black so-te, and a Ta’ovala, Kafa. Those are the things you bring to a funeral. Another reason I have is that back in the day Tongans would always go overseas to fish and look for them while they go fishing, in their boat. They use the fishing rod or their own home made one to gather all the fish so that they don’t starve, so that they can fill their bodies up to stay energized.

Poppies.

 Poppies


How to make a Poppy/ANZAC Day.


The first thing that you will need is 3 pieces of red fabric and a black fabric circle.
This is just a way I did it.


Step 1. I had the first red fabric piece and placed it on the floor. I went inside with the black
one and glued the whole back so it could stick to the red one. 


Step 2. Pinch the one that was placed on the floor. Then when you put the black one on that
red one, make sure it’s stuck to it fully so it doesn’t come off.


Step 3. Grab the other red one and do the same thing with that first red one.
Glue the one with the black stuck to the red.


Step 4. Glue the right spot at the back so that you can place the other one on.
The final step is easy to do.


Step 5. The final red piece will be stuck to the back, glue it in the center of that red piece.
You can place that last piece on the back, always make sure it’s stuck to it.

Pandemic of 1918.

What Is the Flu? Influenza, or Flu, is a virus that attacks the respiratory system.


The 1918 influenza (pandemic) did not, as many people believed, originally.
In the spring of 1918, just as the man-made horrors of World War 1.
The Spanish Flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza
pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, the world's population at the time.
People were infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide about one-third of the
planet's.


According to this, the Corona-virus causes more severe diseases than seasonal influenza.
Now with air travel, a virus can spread from one continent to another in a matter of hours. 
Whatsoever, the Spanish Flu has happened before, by the summer of 1919,
the flu pandemic came to an end, however, as those that were infected either died or
developed immunity. However, a highly contagious wave of influenza appeared with a
vengeance in the fall of that same year.

Dear Future Self.

Dear Future Me.

If I was my future self I would be doing what I have to do which is taking responsibility, there are many abilities that we can achieve, we all have the ability to change people's lives by always having faith and trust in them. Today feels like a great day to bare your experience about stuff that has been on the holidays. We also know about (COVID-19) have been everywhere in countries that are infected.

Therefore, there are different ways of performing yourself of being a role model or something that bothers the kind of leader that we all want to be. This infection is very dangerous for people that are old. It is a disease that can affect people, the PM Jacinda Adern has told all of us to save lives and stay at home for the safety of us. By being safe we have to always wash our hands, exactly 20 seconds because you won’t know who might have it.
 In fact, any of a group of RNA viruses that cause a variety of diseases in humans and other animals and there have been many cases around the world too.

We can all pray in the house of god or the lord’s house for people to be in protection and strength. “The righteous path which leads to (Christ) will give us guidance and the holy ghost through us”. We have the (Freedom of Choice) we can either choose to fight against it or leave it be which I think it’s a bit (disagreeable)
It’s like I’m preparing to become a better person. I am so grateful for what I have and that I can continue to work in our heavenly father's plan, by restoring the gospel of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. 

These things will help my Future self and myself to accomplish the things that are hard.
All these ideas were from church because that’s the most important in my life, when it comes to this like school work or something that’s educational it reminds me of church. Inasmuch, everything will be set for me, and examples will be set for those. It’s amazing how one feels just by looking up at the sky.
Like I said, you can see everything go according to plan. We shall repent for our sins and reset ourselves starting again with a blessed weather and a smile on our faces.

Task Description: The task that I did is about writing to myself, but in the future. this is a task that means to us in the future, I reckon we should just look for a better future and also a good education.
This is a social thing that we should be doing every day because we all have a future coming towards us.



If one looks down they’ll think that the world’s small, it’s better if we look up and feel the spirit, this is just an experience that I've seen in my own life. I ask thee to stay strong and more...

My life in Whare Tapa Wha.

Taha Hinengaro is a strength in my life. I enjoy seeing heaps of motivational speeches when i watch videos. It makes me have the spirit to get up and do some fitness to get fitter and faster, stronger. The most motivational part is getting use to all the strength you have to make yourself a better person than the past. last, but not least stay healthy and take responsibility for health too. Beauden Barrett is someone that i look up and listen to, because he has many possibilities on what he's doing. When it comes too his big games he has thoughts on what time the training begin, where the balls going and his position...

I can improve in Taha Whanau, that you always have your family by your side encouraging you with their love. Also have a lot of faith in yourself including your siblings, even when your doing a performance you respect your culture.

Task Description: We first had to write about our Whare Tapa Wha. We than had thoughts on what we were going to write for this task.
It came to pass that we had to blog about this.

Don’t Let Go!

Once upon a time, there was a woman trying to escape from the temple guards. All these weeks she’s been trying to escape, her name was Wendy. The day she escaped was yesterday night. As Wendy was in her cage she was thinking about how she can escape from the guards, at this point of time she had a pocket knife in one of her shoes.

Meanwhile, she started cutting the wooden sticks, it was also easy for her to break out. Wendy kept cutting until she got on her last one. Wendy crept out quietly without a sound. She then saw a carriage with the horses.
Wendy rushed to the horses smoothly.
All of a sudden the horses woke up making a lot of noises, Wendy went behind the carriage to hide from the guards as they were coming.

In addition, Wendy made her move. One of the guards walked away so the other one could deal with the horses. She killed the guard simultaneously! Wendy moved on to the other guard. She kicked him and cut his chest. She ran back to the carriage getting on the seat in front telling the horses to “hit the road”. They were rushing down the stairs, Wendy could n't see anything, back at the temple she left her shoe back at her cage.

This strange creature hopped on the carriage having a ride with Wendy. She didn’t know that a duck was on the front seat too, Wendy went flying still holding on to the ropes attached to the horses. She screamed with horror, her eyes were wide open, the lizard was holding on to one of the handlers on the side with one hand. Wendy was looking around to see where that noise was coming from, they were still rolling down the stairs.

“You look like a idiot with one shoe” said the lizard

“Hello, who was that” exclaimed Wendy. “How the hell did you get on”.

“Just keep looking forward and sit tight”.

“I can't, I'm still in the air, how do I get down?? Supposed Wendy.

“Why are you asking me, do I look like I know?

Wendy was thinking of how she could sit down. She had a smoldering intense face pushing herself towards the seat where the duck was sitting, meanwhile the duck was horrified when it looked back to Wendy. The duck screamed, Wendy managed to get on the seat. The lizard grabbed the duck and threw it away in the river, they were close to getting on the platform of the temple entry. As the lizard threw the duck into the river, the lizard laughed saying…

“Man that bloody duck was annoying”. “I would’ve killed that little duck for dinner”.

“Eeewww, disgusting”. “Why would you want to eat that?

“Because it looks delicious”. “Anyways, my name is Ben”.

They got off the carriage and headed somewhere to see if there was a shelter.

Wendy and Ben had to keep moving forward. In other words, there was no shelter? Wendy fell asleep to the ground feeling like she was knocked out! Ben was still looking forward. Suddenly, Ben looked to his right and saw Wendy on the ground. He looked if there was any help, but there wasn’t.

“I’m starving, we're never gonna find something to eat?

“Wendy. Wendy!! Oh damn, is she dead too. Well, I’m off”.

The next day Wendy woke up with a shocked face seeing the sun shining in front of her face. She then got up realizing that Ben was gone! What could have happened? Did the guards take him or something? Naahhhhh, they wouldn’t. If they did then they would take me so “yeah”.

Wendy continued her journey finding her way out of this strange place.

THE END.

what was missing. As he was in the library he was still looking for what he had just then.

He kept wondering around the room looking for it. It was the missing piece to something? Adam looked back and saw weird eyes staring at him, he wondered what that was? He used his magnifying glass to see very well, the eyes looked like it was loose. Adam’s dad looked suspicious with him because he was staring at Adam the whole time thinking what he’ll do next. At that time he asked his dad if he knew where the key was.

The dad said “I don’t know what you’re talking about”

Adam kept on investigating for that key, it seemed like it was very special to him. Meanwhile, Adam’s dad grabbed him and hid Adam in his secret basement underground.

After that, Adam was stuck down there, he needed the key to get out, when it disappeared it went into the hands of the (Shadow Man) which was Adam’s dad.

He then bursted out the door with his magical powers, saying “What a pity.”

when he bursted out the door the Shadow Man dropped the key. In the basement Adam was trying to find a way to break out, he couldn’t. It was too hard for him.

He went towards the door to flip the switch on so that he could see properly, he saw a window and looked into the draws to see if there was a hammer, in the third draw he saw a hammer, he rushed to the window to smash it. Once Adam smashed it he ran after the Shadow Man to get the key, he stopped for a second.

He heard a sound rising, Adam looked back and saw the key he was amazed with his eyes, he didn’t know the Shadow Man dropped it when he bursted out of the door. As the Shadow Man was in the sky he had the summoning key in his hands, he was making the world turn into a weird world with abandoned places.

Adam was lucky enough to get the crossbow from the basement, he went outside getting a good aim at the Shadow Man’s head, in addition Adam missed getting his shots at the head multiple times. Adam made his last shot. The arrow shot his hands, as the summoning key dropped. He ran like he was about to catch the ball, like it was rugby.

At this point of time he had the summoning key, he had the missing piece to it.

Adam said “yes, I found the missing piece.”

He had to make this quick so this whole thing could end. After that, Adam put an end to this, to be continued...
