Mary - Well Being

For Health we learnt about the four walls of self also known as Hauora.
The four walls of self include:
- Taha Tinana - Physical Well Being
- Taha Wairua - Spiritual Well Being
- Taha Whanau - Social Well Being
- Taha Hinengaro - Mental/Emotional Well Being.
We learnt about the different effects it can have on us if we don't have one wall working. I created a Powtoon to show what I like to do that effects each wall of my Hauora.

My E-Portflio, My Blog & The Year 10 DigiTech Google Plus Community

My E-Portfolio is going to be used to visually showcase the work that I will be doing in DigiTech this year. My Blog will be used to reflect on my learning in DigiTech. The Year 10 DigiTech Google Plus community will be used to collaborate with other students about the work that we complete in Digitech.


We will be developing a game relating to Sustainability. We have been trialling a game to learn new skills in Scratch.

Three skills that I learnt in Scratch so far include:

• I've learnt to code.
• How to make Sprites.
• How to make Backdrops.

Mary, Keti, Melissa & Kacia - Reintroduction of Kakapo

For Science we were introduced a new topic, It was about the reintroduction of species. The species we chose was a Native bird to New Zealand called the Kakapo. I worked in a group with classmates Melissa, Keti and Kacia. Hope you enjoy and learn something new!

NZ Web

Today for Science we did a little Group Challenge, where we had to organise the NZ Web. Their were arrows that indicated where the species gets its energy resource from. 

For example, A Rat eats Kereru(New Zealand Pigeon), Tui's and Insects.

The people that were in my group were Melissa, Keti, Kacia and Vaifoa.

Today for our Te Reo class we learnt the first parts of a Mihi. We had to introduce ourselves in Te Reo and then introduce the person that was sitting on our left side.

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Today for Science me and my friend Keti learnt about the two different cells called Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Calls.

Prokaryotic Cells:
Most organisms of one cell are these cells, more simpler, has organelles - don't have a membrane, their DNA is circular and naked.

Eukaryotic Cells:
Organisms made if many cells are made of these cells, They have organelles that have membranes around them and perform functions within the cell. Also animal and plant cells are Eukaryotic, .
