Hello today I have been learning about BEDMAS.

B in BEDMAS stands for brackets. The E in BEDMAS mean ecponents. D in BEDMAS means division. The M in BEDMAS means multiplication. The A in BEDMAS means addition. And lastly the S in BEDMAS means subtraction.

When I do Maths in class BEDMAS is the order of operation that I follow in.

 

I’m most proud of for coming 3rd in my ropu for Manu Kōrero in Ata Hāpara.

Below is my speech.

Ko Te Mihi Tuatahi Te Mihi Atu Ki To Tatou Nei Atua Nana Nei Nga Mea Katoa. Tuarua Nga Mihi Atu Kia Ratou Ko Wehe Atu Ki Te Po Haere Haere Haere Atu Ra. Te Hunga Mate Ki Te Hunga Mate Te Hunga Ora I To Nei Tena Tatou Katoa. Tuarunga Nga Mihi Atu Ki Te Po Haere Haere Haere Atu Ra. Te Hunga Mate Ki Te Hunga Mate Te Hunga Ora I To Nei Tena Koutou Katoa. Ka Mihi Hoki Au Ki Te Whare A Tunei Te Whare A Tane Tumai Tumai Moaki Tonu Atu.

Ko Te Kaupapa O Toku Kōrero Ko Toku Tupuna Mihikotukutuku. Ko ia tetahi mana wahine.

She was born on the 30 October 1870 in Raukokore. Her parents were Maaka Ehutu and Ruiha Rahuta. She married Duncan Stirling in 1890, he was famous for building churches across the country and they had at least 11 children, along with a number of whangai (adopted) tamariki as well.

She was a high born woman, tribal leader and prominent landowner, from Te Whanau a Apanui, and Ngati Porou iwi. She was so high up in the ranks that she always got the first catch of the season delivered to her, abd better yet she was allowed to speak on the marae. A right usually reserved for senior māori men. This brought her much conflict with other male elders from other rohe and iwi. Resulting in many a fiery argument or disagreement.

One particular time Mihi travelled to Te Arawa for a hui at Tama te Kapua marae. She stood to speak when one of the kaumatua yelled at her saying pokokohua Mihi! e noho! sit down, how dare you speak on my marae. Mihikotukutuku turned her back to him lifted her panekoti and said puraki paka, here this is where you come from. Mihi continued to site her whakapapa pointing out to the kaumatua that she come from the senior line of Tama-te kapua, whereas he came from the junior line. This left the

kaumatua embarrassed and ashamed. So much so that when Mihi Kotukutuku d\ied in 1956 at the age of 86 he attended the tangi cursing her and her whanau. Many of my whanau believe we are cursed, particularly when my great uncle watched 3 of his sons die in a car accident right in front of him. My dream for the future would be for wahine to have the right to stand and speak on the marae.

He iti tane, he iti kahikatoa.

He nui wahine, he nui puwharawhara

A small man is like a small manuka tree, a great woman is like a massive puwharawhara, which gives shelter from the rain.

No reira tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa  

Today my class for year 7 and 8 have been learning about Matariki.  The reason why we are learning about Matariki is because it is the Matariki constellation in between the 21st and 24th of June/The third of July they are going to appear in the lower sky’s. My favorite star is probably Matariki because in my opinion I think it is the prettiest star in the constellation.  Matariki is my favorite star in the constellation because it symbolises  hope, the environment, and the gathering of people. I really enjoyed working on this. Here is a link to my mahi.

As part of Pāngarau I have been learning how to calculate the volume of A cube/Cuboid. I now know how to use the formula V=LengthxWidthxHeight. I found the multiplication tricky and used repeated addition and skip counting to solve problems. Here is a picture of my work. I got all the questions and answers right except for 2 questions.

 

On Tuesday I did first aid training and we learnt about CPR and bleeding. For most of the time we did CPR but then for the last four minutes we learnt about bleeding. Our first aid teacher was Chris from street John for schools. We learnt the things we should do when someone is laying down on the floor. First you should always look for danger. sometimes you don’t know what happened and there could be glass or fire around the person so always look before you help because if you don’t you could get injured as well and can’t get help for the other person. Then if its safe always try and see if they are still breathing and say “Can you hear me” if they respond like in a hurt way or move to give you a signal to say they can still hear you. If they don’t then tell someone near you to go get help and call 111 so you can stay there and give them CPR. After that you should always look for the airway. Tilt the head back and then ope their mouth with your thumb to see if they are chocking on something. If they are you should always remember to not put your fingers in their mouth to try and get the food out or something because they could of blacked out and then their brain would make the jaw do that and then it would be to hard to put your fingers out. After that check their breathing by putting your check to her mouth and look at her stomach if it is not going up and down they are not breathing if they are then they are breathing. If they are not normally breathing place your hands on your patients chest and push hard and in a proper rhythm for 30 seconds and if you get tired make sure there is another pair of hands on top of yours to help when you stop giving CPR. Then blow in the mouth 2 times to give them some air. Then get someone around you to get the defibrillator and start doing that then when you have shocked them the ambulance would probably be there. Then for  bleeding and they said that if they had a really big cut and a lot of blood coming out you should always get a sort of soft pad and then rap it up really good so the pad does not fall off the blood and then the blood want drip everywhere. And then Chris let us ask questions at the end. Then it all ended so yeah that’s my journey of the first aid training the end.
