Maze Games and Flappy Bird Codes

 In the games, the codes that I mostly used were Move forward, Turn left, Turn right and Repeat 5 or how much you want to repeat it. When using the codes, it enables me to control the characters in the game and complete the levels with the codes that I use. The things I learned from these exercises are how to code, how to make a game, and which codes, best fit together to get my character where I went my character to go.

Mental health is positive and negative, we have those times where we go through hard times like family problems or losing someone close and ending up going through depression but there are positive times like the times when we get uplifted and motivated by friends which make us feel good about ourselves.

Things I do so that I can get through my mental issues is by showing resilience, resilience is a must, being able to get back on my feet and carry on with my chin up and my back straight is important so that I'm still going through life and not sticking to being depressed and pushing all my problems down.

I also tend to talk to close people or going to the nurse and the councillor at my school, sometimes taking time for yourself and doing what you enjoy is a good way to help cope with your mental health issues but also talking to someone and getting it out and talking to someone who can give you some advice and solutions of how to fix your problems.

Lock down 2: August 12th - August 30th 2020

 The second lockdown came as a surprise to me, I got the information from my mum when she was watching the news. I was happy because we didn't have any p.e and I got to sleep in a lot but I hated doing online school because I found it boring and I hated it when the wifi would start lagging.

What I enjoyed about the lockdown was sleeping in and getting to lay in bed all day and take my classes there. What I found challenging was having to deal with my annoying siblings and not being able to see my friends, especially my best friend. The difference between the second lockdown and the first is that the first one was scary and I didn't really understand what was going on but on the second one I found it good cause I got to sleep in but I still knew I couldn't see my friends.

My family went well during the lockdown and we managed, we would take food to my nana's house for them because we had lots of food boxes.

Samoan Language Week !

🇼🇸 ðŸ‡¼ðŸ‡¸ 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 

Samoan - Tapena Sou Oso Mo Lou Malaga
English - Prepare yourself a gift for your Travels.
This Samoan theme is about preparing a gift that we will take on this journey of life. 

At Tamaki college, I’m on a journey of learning and I started in 2020 as a year 9 and will end
in 2025 when I’m year 13. My journey for year 9 at the moment is being able to stay on task
and getting my work done. I will like to achieve this goal by coming to school with a
growth mindset and a good attitude. After studying at Tamaki, I would like to continue my studies
at university and hopefully reach my goal of becoming a lawyer in the future.

Key concepts

Culture - Culture is one of the words which I value because my culture is something that I am proud of and admire. Culture is something that defines a person and what they are as a person. I am a proud Tongan and in my Culture has a big belief in the Christian Religion. 

Globalization - Globalisation is a connection between the world and doing things together, globally. Trade is a part of globalization, when we trade we trade for money and being able to have things like food, objects and etc that we use for everyday life. Trade is a concept we have that without it we might not be able to have appliances, technology, and everyday life things that we have now.

Value - Value is the regard that something is held to deserve, the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. I have values and I also have things I value, what I mean is I value hard work, honesty, Trustworthy, and other such values of mine. Values are something that helps us to understand and uncover what the different meaning of life is. Like for example one of the values I grew up learning about was Maanakitanga, Maanakitanga is a value which means caring for others and teaches us about the care we have for each. So that’s why the value is important to me.

Made in Taiwan

We have been watching a series of episode of 2 guys name Nate and Oscar . They travel places, were there ancestors comes from. Here is a few summary's that I have made to summaries a bit of what I watched in each episode. Each episode they have has been filmed in different places.

Aotearoa -These two mates, Oscar and Nate, wanted to journey to see where the ancestors were. So first it starts with them using swabs which they rub in their mouth to get DNA usage. The swabs get sent overseas to a place in England.There journey starts off on the Takitimu, which is the waka that the fathers descendants use to travel.

Rarotonga -Nate and Oscar travelled to the Cook Islands next and that's were they believe were the waka ( Takitimu - Takitumu) had left to work their way off to Mahia. They visited the place were the stones of the names of the Waka’s the descendant from the Cook Islands to New Zealand was. They visited a place called the Garden of seven stones were it had stones that had the names of the wakas which sailed away from the Cook island to travel to New Zealand. They visited a family that they think they were related to and they had a feed and was talking about family and about the Takitimu which was the waka their family travelled on. Rarotonga is 3 thousand KM away from Mahia.

Samoa - Oscar and Nate next went to Samoa to his family village and visited his dad who died when he was 3 years old. When Oscar's father died, his mum took him to New Zealand to go live with his aunty and uncle and those who raised him, later on when Oscar turned 21 years old he visited his father after 18 years. Oscar shows his family graves, including his dad’s grave. While they were at Samoa he took Nathan with him to church with his mum and grandmother.

Vanuatu -Vanuatu people are one of the first settlers known as the Lapita people which arrived 3000 years ago. 3000 years ago, canoes brought the Lapita people. Nate and Oscar were learning about the Lapita pottery, they learnt about the designs and the faces of the designs that they saw on the pottery. Nate got sick during the trip and they were there. Oscar and Nate visited a family there and they are one of the first foreigners to visit the island.They meet an archaeologist who was the one that showed them the Lapita pottery and he shows them the burial place were they get digged up in between the reef and later on get the skulls get taken away for sacred use. Archaeologists learn about how people lived 3000 years ago.

Taiwan -When Oscar and Nate arrive in Taiwan, they are greeted by a local young woman from Taiwan named Niwa who showed them around. Their first stop is to the national Taiwanese museum. They learnt about the history and the many different people of Taiwan. They found out that the language of the polynesians originated from the Asian language. taiwan is the last place they visited because it's the last place of were they originated from.

There journey has been really interesting and I would one day like to find out were my ancestors come from.
What I enjoyed about this task is learning about their ancestors and the background of the many people they met. What I found challenging was summarising each episode, that was filled with many interesting facts and information.
