The Beatles Tour Of New Zealand

 Perspective- For Tour

The main people that wanted the beatles to come was Younger girls, when the beatles first landed most of the fans were silent yet when they came to Wellington the fans suddenly lit up and when they had there shows all the tickets sold out. Seeing that the beatles were a worldwide band and tickets were expensive alot of people would either try to sneak in or just straight up break in. Alot of people didnt like how the fans kept on screaming because they couldnt even hear the beatles singing.

Perspective- Against Tour

There weren't many people that were against the beatles coming to New Zealand sometimes this was because people thought were leading the youth down a bad path and that they were trouble makers.

How Aspects show the meaning in John.G.Avildsen's film "The Power Of One"

S: In the concept scene, we hear the native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K, the main character

E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and P.K composed. 

X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K.- through the singing-brought the tribes together. 

X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K was the mythical figure of the-rainmaker.

X: The singing combines with long shots that also show the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.

Y: The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.

Making Salts

 Aim: To produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.

Equipment: Copper oxide powder, dilute (0.5 mol L-1) sulfuric acid, 50 ml measuring cylinder, two 100 ml beakers, bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula, evaporating basin, stirring rod.

Method: 

1. Add 20ml of sulfuric aid to a 100 ml beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 degress Celcius. Turn off your bunsen burner.

2. Once heated, use a spatula to add a pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.

3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5.Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.

7.l Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixturepreviously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60ml of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin. 

9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form. 

Results:

Discussion: Why did it turned blue? It turned blue when we filtered the copper oxide through the filter paper then it turned into a blue liquid.

Conclusion: Our experiment didnt turn out exactly how I wanted because somehow although we had hardly anything it ened up being really water, so next time I will know to add less water.

My Culture

 My Culture

My name is William Crosbie-Rolleston, I am 14 years old, my mum is pakeha and my dad is Maori. I don't speak maori and when I was 3 my parents split up and moved to Christchurch from Hamilton. I don't know that much about our history but one day when I go back up north I will have to talk about it. All that I know is that my tribe is Te arawa and that is about it. I now live with my mum and my step dad, my step dad is also maori but I don't

 know where or what tribe he is from. 

Sports:

The main sports that people of maori culture play is usually just sports that New Zealand people play like rugby, netball, basketball etc. But there is also a game called ki-o-rahi, Ki o Rahi is a ball sport (the ball is known as the “kī”) that is a combination of netball, handball and tag rugby. Games are 5 minute quarters with an immediate change at quarter time and a 2 minute break at half time. The sport is non-contact but players wear a belt holding two velcro tags around their waist. 

Visual arts:

Celebrations:

Sometimes on christmas my sister and I may go up to hamilton, this is because that is where all of my dads side of the family lives. Everyone up there is maori aswell and it’s good to see Nan and koro

Give Peace A Chance

 This song called Give peace a chance was  made by John Lennon. The song should be easy to comprehend because all it is basically saying is to give peace a chance which means to stop the war and "Make love not peace". This song was made after the Vietnam war ended and it was first released in europe and released in the U.S a few days later.

Lyrics:

Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Reflection

 Today in wanaga we had to do silent reading so I read chapter 56 of jujutsy kaisen. It started out pretty boring and near the end things started to kick up. Jujutsu kaisen is about the main character devours a finger of the king of courses and survived it so the people of jujtsu high have two options weather to kill him right now, or make him eat all the fingers then kill  him because no one else has consumed one of his fingers and survived. The main character Yuji then attends jujutsu high and we see the trio of chaaracter who are Yuju, Megumi and Nobara. They then go out to excorse things called curses who can only be seen by jujutsu sorcerers otherwise if you are human you wouldnt be able to see them without have these certain cursed objects one being glasses that allows you to see them. We then the rest of the students in the upperclasses whilst seeing the main villain for the show. My favourite character is a guy named Yuta Okkotsu who we havent seen in the show and weve only seen a bit of him in the manga but he seems pretty powerful from what weve seen.

Making Indacators

 Aim: To make acid-base indicators using everyday substances

Equipment: Red cabbage, tea, beetroot, tumeric, cranberry juice, a beaker, water, tripod, bunsen burner, gauze mat, 1.0 mol L-1 HCI and 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH.

Method: 

For cabbage and Beetroot, chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cups. Place the cabbage in a large beaker and add water to cover the cabbage. Boil over a bunsen burner for at least ten minutes for the colour to leach out of the cabbage. Filter out the plant materDiial to obtain a red-purpleish coloured liquid. This liquid is about pH 7. Place a small beaker and leave to one side. Repeat this method for beetroot. 

For the tea: Put 100m of water into a beaker and boil. Turn off the bunsen burner and put three tea bags in the beaker. Remove the tea bags when the tea is very strong. Place in a small beaker and leave to one side. 

For Cranberry Juice: Pour into a beaker and leave to one side.

For the Tumeric: Mix 1 teaspoon turmeric in 100ml cup of alcohol. Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.

Results: 

Discussion: What does this mean? It went different colours because of the different chemicals we used like when we used acid the cabbage turned pink and when we used base it turned yellow.

Conclusion: Did it work? The experiment worked out really well and nothing went wrong, I wouldn't really do anything different seeing that it worked. 

Beatles song

 Artist: The beatles

What is the song about?

Here comes the song is the seventh track on one of the beatles most popular albums "abbey road"  and was realesed in 1969. It was initally not realeased as a single but later on the song was becoming the highest selling beatles for weaks although it seemed like a very simplistic song. The song was responsible for one of the most critical acclaims received by George Harrison.  

What song did I choose?

Here comes the sun

Lyrics:

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

WW1-The Last Post

 When do you hear the song?

The last post is played on a bugle and is played before the one minute at a commemorative service. It is played at 4.55 pm, each ceremony follows the same format but each is a very different and very moving occasion. 

Why is this song significant/important to New Zealand?

In military tradition, the last post is the bugle call that signifies the end of days activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commorative services such as anzac day and rememberance day. The last post only plays for about 45 seconds and is  ost commonly played at a funeral or memorial.

What is the history of the last post-Why is it played and when?

The last post was first used in 1790 and just one of the two dozen or so bugle calls sounded daily in british army camps. It originated with the british troops that were stationed in the netherlands, it comes from the dutch phrase doe den tap toe meaning the close tap. During the 19th century the last post was also carried to various countries.

What does the last post represent?

Like I said before the last post represents the end of days, after the last post has been played there will usually be a silence and maybe a speaker saying we will remember them reffering to the people who died in world war 2. The last post was made to mourn the dead and it is played on rememberance day which is on the 23 of april. 

 

Parihaka-Tim Finn and The Herbs

 What is the main message of the song?

The message of this song was to tell the story of te whiti and the story of parihaka, te whiti was a spirtual leader and was the founder of the village named parihaka. The other point of this song is to let people know that what the british did was wrong and should be known throughout New Zealand. 

What line explains their passive resistance method?

The line "Rise up, Defend yourself" shows their passive resistance method because it shows that they wont back down, it also shows that it was a peaceful protest.

What does "you can't pull out your roots refer too"?

I think that this line refers to the british and how people ignore what happened and what the british did, the previous line said "one day you'll know the truth" so this can be refering to white people now knowing the significance of what the british did.

How many people are affected?

The main people that were affected would most likely be the people of parihaka but also the new generation and the future generations aswell this is because they are only really known for what their ancestors had to go through. 

To what extent are people affected?

The maori people were affected after the parihaka attack, known as the plunder of parihaka this included destruction of crops, houses and more. 

Give evidence of determination

There was determination shown in how they wouldnt back done and stood there ground, however it didnt work out and resulted in houses and crops being destroyed just for them doing a peaceful protest.

What makes an event significant?

 What makes an event significant is an event that resulted in great change over a long period of time, this is why parihaka is a significant event in New Zealand history.

How does this song show the signifcance of parihaka?

This song shows significance because it explains the history of parihaka and how he shows the truth of what happened. Like how it was peacful protests and how the people cant pull out there roots refering to their ancestors and the bad things they did.

How long were people effected?

Te whiti and tohu were arrested and jailed for 16 months, 1,600 parihaka imhabitants were expelled and dispered throughout taranaki without food or shelter and the remaining 600 residents were issued with government passes to control theyre movement. People are also still effected till this day.
