Metal work

Today in metal we made signs to make people aware of the cautions in metal work mines about a bag that can trip someone up

Here is a few information about what the words mean and how they work...

Prohibitive Sign: A Prohibitive sign is a safety sign and it is likely to cause a risk to your health or your safety. It is expected to be a red circle with a diagonal cross through to show that you are banned and forbidden to do it.

Mandatory Sign: Mandatory signs are road signs which are mainly used to tell the traffic specific things to do, if not followed you're risking your life. Unlike prohibitive signs, mandatory signs tell traffic what they must do and what not to.

Hazard Sign: Hazard signs or warning symbols are symbols designed to warn about the hazardous or dangerous objects, place or matter, including electric currents, poisons and radioactivity. The use of hazard sign is often ordered by law and other standards groups.

Health 2020

Welcome to another post on my blog. In today's post, I am going to share my learning reflection so far on health. we started health.

For health, we are learning Wellbeing or Hauora in Maori. first, we learnt, what does Hauora mean?

The four areas of wellbeing,

  • Physical - Taha Tinana
  • Social - Taha Whanau
  • Mental/Emotional - Taha Hinengaro
  • Spiritual - Taha Wairua

Next, we did the Hauora Mix & Match cards, where we had to highlight the four wellbeing areas into different colours, then, matched them into the four wellbeing areas. 

After doing that activity, we had wrote (as a class) about, 'What is Hauora?' After writing lots of words about the four wellbeing areas or the 'Te Whare Tapa Wha'. We had wrote about our current Hauora, which means that how are we are showing these four dimensions. Because we hadn't finished the 'Current Hauora' activity, we continued it today. 

In today's lesson, we had completed the 'Current Hauora' activity and wrote some Hauora Interactions that we have. Our health teacher had taught us that our 'the Current Hauora' changes every day of what we are feeling. I had written about sleep and food.

Savory bread cases

In Food tech today we made savory bread cases and we had to follow certain steps.

1. Cut bread crust but cut it as close to the edge as possible in this lesson we used wholemeal bread and white bread
2. Margarine the bread that you cut
3. Get a muffin tray and flip the margarine part of the bread upside down and push it slowly through you shouldn't have any holes
4. Put it in the oven until the bread is nice and crisp and looks not overcooked and perfect
5. Once it is done and you take it out you can put inside of them holes Baked beans,Spaghetti,ham and cheese
6. Once your done that mix it up and put it inside of the holes
7. Put it inside of the oven again until the cheese starts bubbling and looks good
8. do dishes take it out and enjoy :D

Hazard and safety signs

Today in Metal work, we have been given a task to make a hazard sign to aware this class about safety rules inside of the work space so we can be aware of the cautions that we need to be aware of throughout the lessons.

What is a hazard:
A hazard is something that can hurt someone by making them fall or hurt their self a hazard everyone needs to be aware of because it will be embarrassing and hurtful if you trip over and make a scene so that's why we are gonna be making a sign to stop that and to make people think before doing. If the signs are there other people/our class will feel much more safe inside of this learning space.

Workshop signs:
In the workshop you will find a sign that links towards something that will hurt you like for example metal that is cut this can hurt you because if you point it at someone or make it go close towards you, you can get seriously hurt. Something else that can hurt you is a bag something simple like a bag can hurt you by tripping you up and it might not be your bag but remember to keep your bag or your belongings in a space not out in the open preferably under a desk or somewhere that will not hurt another person.

Safety signage inside of the workshop:
inside of the workshop you will find safety signage by something that might trip you or hurt you there could be signage by something that can cause fires or even just something that your not allowed to use till it will be safe for you. The real caution sign inside of safety signage is a triangle background and caution signs should be easily noticed

Mandatory signs:
A mandatory sign means a sign prescribing behavior basically telling what not and what to do so then your safe. These signs are required to be blue and generally there is a white safety symbol on it but the background is blue mandatory signs show what action is required to do the particular subject or tool and how to use it.

How to improve your wellbeing!


There are four dimensions and they are called, Taha Tinana your physical wellbeing, Taha
Whanau your relationships with others, Taha Wairua your spiritual wellbeing and Taha
hinengaro your social wellbeing.


How to improve your Taha Tinana, your physical well being is by eating healthy food like
vegetables and fruits, training and exercise everyday, drink water and by keeping healthy.
If you keep healthy you will be fit and in good shape. If you don't eat healthy, drink water,
train and keep healthy then you will not be a healthy person and fatness reflects to your body.


How to improve your Taha Whanau, your relationship with others, is by respecting them
and being kind to them, also if you do that to them all the time then they would think your a
nice person and they would be your friend also they would do the same back. If you don't
be kind or respect your relationships then they wouldn't like you and think terrible things
about you and also not be kind or respectful to you.


How to prove your Taha Wairua is by your community and Wairua means being in touch
with the spiritual side of life. It is the capacity to have faith, and to understand the links
between people and the environment. It doesn’t necessarily mean having a religious belief,
although for many people this is an important part of their spirituality.


How to improve your Taha hinengaro is by turning people's bad feelings into good feelings
and it is having the capacity to think critically and be able to acknowledge and express
thoughts and feelings constructively. To be able to understand and manage your emotions.

Also if you do that to every person around the world then the world will be filled with happiness
and will be doing good things. If you don't turn people into happiness then the world will be filled
with badness instead of happiness. 


If You keep all your four dimensions healthy and safe then you will have a happy,
awesome, amazing, incredible and the best wellbeing.

What is Whare Tapa wha?

Te Whare Tapa Wha compares health to the four walls of a house where all four walls are necessary to 
ensure strength and symmetry.

Self Directed Learners

In the self directed learner's task I had to set myself some goals for me to accomplish.
   The green means what I have achieved and the yellow is what I need to achieve.

Apocalyptic Collaborative Writing

Man vs Machine 


1. It was man versing machine in a giant war.


2. It was a terrifying fight with both men and machines fighting their way to victory in a war.


3. It was a terrifying fight with both man and machine they were both fighting their way to victory the fight is like a tiger and a lion having a fight
to the death.


4. It was a humongous fight with both man and machine fighting to the death like a lion would to
claim its place as a pride leader both man and machine were fighting their way to victory.


5. It was a humongous fight in France with both man and machine fighting to
the death like a lion would to claim its place as a pride leader. Lots of tears began
as some soldiers and teammates lost their lives both teams were furious. Side by
side the teams collided and fought their way to victory.

6. A war was ready both men and machines grew their teams to get ready to
collide with the opposite team, and only one team would take the victory. It was
a humongous fight in France with the Eiffle tower barely standing, with both man
and machine fighting to the death like a lion would claim its place as a pride leader. 

Lots of tears began as some soldiers and teammates lost their life.
Both teams were furious and full of anger. Side by side the teams collided
and tried their best to fight their way to victory.
