The NZ Gold Rush

Today in Hur1 we have been looking at the NZ gold rush, here are some facts I learnt about it.

1. Gold is valuable because it is rare and attractive.

2. Gold is found as small flecks in the veins of hard quartz rocks.

3. alluvial gold is found in rocks that have been worn down to sand.

4. if you asked and gold miner where the gold was they would say, "where it be there it be".

5. in NZ gold was mainly found in, Otago, Marlborough, Southland, The west coast, Golden bay and in the Coromandel Peninsula.

6. 4 properties to describe gold are Inert, shiny, Heavy and  Malleable.

7. The first Europian to find gold in NZ was Charles Ring from Tasmania in Driving creek in 1852.

I learnt a lot from his bu he main thing I learnt was people really liked gold and would use it to get out of poverty.

Freeze frame

Today in Hur 2 drama we made 6 different freeze frames for 6 main points in the story "Bok Choy"
The six points that I thought were the most important were.

1. Going fishing to get away from the fight between the two mums
2. Falling into the river 
3. waking up in Arsum's house and getting offered  the rice
4. Mum coming in and being very grateful
5. Thinking about why Arsum worshipped the portraits 
6. The two mums arguing again but standing up for Arsum and his "Bok Choy"

Tapa cloth

For the past while we have been making Tapa cloths. A Tapa cloth is a piece of natural clothe made from bark it is soaked and beaten into a piece of flat material, then designs get drawn on it using a natural ink made from other plants and vegetable dyes. The way we made it was we drew out some basic designs that represented things in the story "The Creation Of Tuna". The creation of tuna is a story that explains the Maori legend of how tuna was made. We drew 6 designs that represented something in the story, mine were. The 4 pieces of tuna, The river, The heavens , the heat tuna experienced in heaven , tipua (supernatural), the basket that they weaved to capture tuna.

Writing plan

Today in Hur 4 we worked on some things from the working from home site. I did my writing plan, I drew a few different scenes and from those scenes and plans can you guess what my story is about. I enjoyed planing because I got to draw and have fun with creativity.

Level 2 in school

Today in home room we made a poster of a few rules that come with being in school in level 2. In level 2 we need to try to do things to keep us safe I explain some in my poster but there are many more. I enjoyed doing this because I found it easy and relaxing And I would use canva again.
