Music is Fun

Who are you working with?
I am working with Brianna and Tamati.

What song are we doing? What is the song about? Whos it by?
We are doing Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.
"Because I was trying to write about a relationship that I had been writing about for two years and that had ended when I was 19, I was like, 'I don't care anymore.' I was kinda over it," he admitted, adding that it was a collaborator in the room who told him, "' You don't have to write about heartbreak all the time."

Who is Doing what?
Brianna is playing the piano, Tamati and I are singing.

What is the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge is not practising and doing other songs. People in our group get very off task very fast. In this performance, I'm singing and at the moment I am sick so it's very hard to perform.  A thing that I personally think that we need to do is the singers is we need to be louder. when I listen to us sing I casnt really hear anything.

Stitches by Shawn Mendes
"Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys
"Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she’s burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she’s not backing down
This girl is on fire"

My Ideal World

My ideal
My ideal world would be a world without global warming, without everything turning to sh*t. i wish every animal wasnt going extinct or not getting killed. people weren't losing there houses or jobs because theyre not good enough. people getting shot because of there race.

What can I do to change it?
we could pick up our rubbish and put it in a bin. we could find other stuff to replace the animals dying for there trunks. we could let people keep there jobs and keep there houses because everyones good enough, everyone deserves a good house, family. we should change the gun laws or start careing about everyone else family

Social studies work *not fully understood*

key differences and perspectives causing conflict

1. Maori didn't realize they were given away sovereignty to the queen. Maori went under British laws and didn't realize. Maori knew that they had control over there tribes.

2. The English version is said that they have full control over everything owned by them. The British could buy the land before anyone else got the chance to see it was on sale. Which means that Maori can only sell to the British. In the Maori one, it's a bit more detailed. If Maori wanted to sell land it would first be offered to British at an agreed price if the British declined then it would be sold to someone else. 

3. In both treaties Maori and English they both had the same subjects.

My essay from social studies

We need the treaty to help everyone be safe. People weren’t the best in New Zealand and they had so many drunk people and they couldn’t control everyone. People also traded stuff to get other things this includes musket, food, and others. In this essay, I will be arguing that we needed. We needed this essay to help get everyone safer. 

In this paragraph, I am going to answer how the declaration of independence helped the Maori?

Interestingly, Maori need the treaty to be protected from the wars over new Zealand. For example, No one had control of New Zealand because it wasn’t owned at the time. There were so many fights and wars over new Zealand and Maori truly believed that they should have owned it. the impact/ effect of all of this is important because they needed the treaty to make a mutual agreement. The declaration would help make the agreement which would keep nearly everyone safe. They needed something to help them.

Musket wars were very dangerous. So many people died from musket wars, around about 20,000 people died. More laws would have had to come in contact with the treaty because it would help protect. Nga puhi and a few other northern tribes would have been the first to get muskets. They traded food, flax, and sometimes woman to get muskets. they traded everything they had to get muskets. Muskets were the only thing that Maori had to protect themselves. So much people died as I said above which wasn’t good. If people didn’t get into wars I think that we wouldn’t have gotten a treaty which means we wouldn’t exactly safe, so in conclusion, we are pretty lucky to have that important event happen, it’s sad that 20,000 people died. English men shouldn’t have brought guns 

The point is important because Maori were dying a lot and missionaries were worried about the Maori. For example, they were worried about more deaths and land loss, they thought a treaty would protect their safety, and they taught Maori how to read and write in Maori so they could fit in. they also put parts of the bible in Maori. they taught Maori what to believe and got a good relationship with them. They taught Maori new things like farming methods. they shouldn’t have made rights for everyone and if the death wasn’t caused by other people then they should have done something to try to keep everyone safe. In the bay of islands, Maori had at least 3000 transfers to Christianity. Maori brought a whole lot of land which also worried missionaries. They should have been protected anyway.

In this paragraph, I am tryna prove that whalers had very lawless behaviour. This point matters because there was a lot of prostitution and war. They acted very lawlessly, reckless and they needed the treaty to control all of the bad behaviours. For examples, there were a lot of drunks, fights, and a lot of prostitution after they came back from sailing for days. the sailors would throw partys to celebrate there trades and successes. When the partys were thrown people would get very drunk. Most of the partys/ celebrations would turn into brawl/ fight. Most sailors were very reckless. 

This is why I think we needed a treaty which did come into place in the end. Whalers were into prostitution, Maori wanted muskets to fight the other Maoris and English men, and missionaries were worried about Maori because they kept dying. The treaty helped everyone and made everything better. The treaty helped everyone, one way or another. This is why I think we needed a treaty.

my assement *has to be big to read*

Graph

In Social Studies, we are learning about the treaty of Waitangi. We had to draw a Multi-Line graph and show the difference between the Europeans population going up and the Maori population going down.

What does the graph show us?
The drop of maoris and the rise of Europeans so basically, the maoris died or moved and the Europeans moved.

Why do you think the numbers of Maori change?
Because of diseases from animals from where ever the Europeans came from, wars for more weapons.

Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
Because most Europeans wanted to move to New Zealand to get away from the crowding.
