Gold Mining West Coast History

  This term we are on the topic of local history this our project on the Waiuta gold mining days

Te Kinga work interviews

In class recently we have been interviewing people in the local community about their work life. We have had four people so far and all have been as interesting as the last. Today we had Jarred (Zak and Cameron's Dad) and he talked about all his jobs and some of the skills he thought were important to have when going into work. The skills were technology skills, communication skills, leadership skills, a good attitude and being able to ask for help. Here is my reflection, I think it was interesting how Jarred has done lots of different jobs including blinking the eye of a puppet fish on a kids t.v show and helping people figure why their pot plant powered phone wouldn’t work. It was also interesting that he had worked in the air force as an I.T guy.

Manu Ginobili leads argentina to gold at athens olympics This day in history

“Manu goes up for the shot and sinks it! That puts the lead up to 15” exclaimed the radio announcer. Our whole household erupted with excitement as the argentine team toppled Italy by 15 and won gold at Athens. The radio announcer said he fell out of his chair with excitement and our whole family screamed with laughter. After the game Manu Ginobili was in his locker room being part drowned in the champagne showers. After the long plane ride home the argentina team were welcomed home with cheers and tears. I waited for the parade to come past me so I could ask Manu how he became so good. I asked Mum if she could lift me so I could talk to Manu for I was only 4. She lifted me up as Manu came past. I asked him how he became so good at basketball. He replied with “Hard work and dedication". 14 Years later I sat crying in my room after hearing Manu had retired from basketball. I just knew I had to have a great season in my NCAA Virginia team. My Mum called me down for breakfast “Francisco Caffaro stop crying in your room it is not the end of the world”

KKN Is Honesty important? Link for article in comments

1. I think lying is bad because lying makes the situation worse because the person you’re telling may think that the lie is true and they might let you away with something horrible like punching someone or breaking something expensive. I think honesty is important although you may get punished it would be a better punishment than if you lied and the person you’re telling found out that you were lying the punishment would be worse.
2. You may get away with what you did but in many cases you don’t. I would be lying to say I haven’t lied before which is why I won’t say it but many horrible time I have got away with doing something bad. If you didn’t like one of your siblings and you told your parents that they did it they would get in trouble and you might feel good depending on what type of person you are.
3. I think it is human nature because no one wants to get in trouble and we lie to get out of being in trouble and we get to do the normal things we do. Maybe we lie so that our schedule doesn’t change because we have already planned what we are going to do and we want to do what we have planned and if we don't get to do what we planned we will get annoyed.
4. I don’t think lying will ever stop because it is human nature although I think there will be easier ways to tell if someone is lying like lie detector and you put a pair of glasses on and it scan the person you are interrogating and if they are lying the glasses will buzz and they will be caught.
5. Haven’t really lied to kahi before an if I have I cannot remember lying to him. I have lied to people before but I think everyone I lied to has found out I was lying.
6. Breaking News: Prison are overflowing many new prison have to be built to accommodate all the prisoners. “Woah this is too serious” Said the prime minister. As her Two ic I had to comfort her in this situation but I wasn’t sure anything would work. We had to make a plan of action against rising prison population. We decide we would have to double up prison cells and hope that works. 4 MONTHS LATER Breaking news: 128 prisoners killed by roommates in the last 4 months could this be the end of our prime ministers reign at the top seat. Maybe continued…

My Quick Write

“Leave me alone I’m about to watch the lights in the sky” Pauline bellowed. The Lights were the most amazing thing Pauline had ever seen. She only got to see once a year. So she tried to draw them so she could see them all the time. The only problem with that is her brother Paul always annoys her to the point she doesn’t have time to draw the lights and If she did draw the lights she would find the piece of paper she drew them on torn to tiny shreds on the floor. She never knew what the lights were she just knew that they were amazing and the most fascinating things in the night sky.

Mould Experiment

In class we have been learning about mould so we donated some food and put it in a bag and left it for the rest of the term. Some of ours did not go well but other were encased in mould.

Fermented food Journey

In class everyone made a fermented food. Me and Kahi did some Venison jerky and Kimchi

Prebiotics and Probiotics Venn diagram

At School this term we have been learning about Prebiotics and Probiotics. We all did a venn diagram about the differences of Prebiotics and Probiotics.

The Benefits of prebiotics explanation wiriting

This is my explanation on the benefits of Prebiotics. I did this because we are learning about fermenting foods and Prebiotics are a big part in fermented foods and are found in many of them. Comment if you like the writing and if there are any spelling mistakes or if I could work on anything.

The Benefits of Prebiotics

Prebiotics are the fibers your digestive system and salivary enzymes ( a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction) can’t  break down. They also enhance the growth of probiotics which are the good bacteria in your gut. These are some of the benefits of Prebiotics

Prebiotic fiber is a non-digestible part of foods like bananas, onions, garlic, the skin of apples, chicory root, beans, and many others. Prebiotic fiber goes through the small intestine undigested and is fermented when it reaches the large colon. This fermentation process feeds helpful bacteria colonies including probiotic bacteria and helps to increase the number of helpful bacteria in our digestive systems that are associated with better health and reduced disease risk.

Researchers have found that prebiotics are helpful in increasing the helpful bacteria already in the gut that reduce disease risk and improve general well being. Prebiotic fiber is not as fragile as probiotic bacteria because it is not affected by heat, stomach acid, or time. Nor does the fermentation process differ depending on the individual.

They may sound like the same thing or they do the same thing but what they do and how they help is amazingly different. Probiotics are friendly, helpful bacteria, and the benefit of probiotics is that they help with your overall wellness, not just gastrointestinal health.

Prebiotics, on the other hand, are a special type of fiber. It’s a fiber your digestive system cannot break down. But unlike other types of fiber, prebiotics are food that is specific for the good bacteria in your gut. They enhance the growth of probiotics.

So, the difference between probiotics and prebiotics is that while they are both trying to accomplish the same general thing—keeping your gut flora healthy—they approach it in different ways. To help you understand, let me explain with an analogy.

Bananas, onions, garlic, the skin of apples, chicory roots and beans have prebiotic fiber. Which you can wow your peers by telling them that the skin of their apple doesn’t get digested in the small intestine. Prebiotics are vital in making probiotics or helpful bacteria in your gut and that probiotics and prebiotics are completely different but are trying to achieve the same thing. Making your gut happy and healthy.

Stop Motion Refugee Bahamas scene

At school we have been reading the book Refugee. So because one of the characters has just past the Bahamas we decided to do a stop motion video of the scene.
