Hello and welcome back to my blog,
Today we are concluding our health class for this year by doing our discovery task. The discovery task is just having interest at something about all the things that we learnt having it present it in a creative way. For my one I decided to pick a path game in a simple story about cocaine addiction as well with three endings.
<Planning>
The route to take
Greece —> Hawaii —-> Maldives —-> Philippines
Backpacking in every country and surviving whatever is in our bags and relying on word of the mouth from the locals.
Visiting the country for 2 weeks in each country.
Goal
2024, November 29
Subject : Application for my trip
Greetings “World at your fingertips”.
I’m writing this email for an application for my paid trip around the world, to travel to the most beautiful beaches in the world. I can assure you that my paid travel expenses will be like an investment for your business. This trip allows me to achieve my bucket list of visiting breathtaking beaches with waters that reflect like mirrors. I will document everything that happens in my journey and provide free advertising to your business. I can post on social media to create more attention and eye-catching videos that are bound to hear your business.This can have a positive impact on your business while I explore my deepest desires of beaches.
The trip is already planned, so there’s no need to worry about creating time-consuming schedules and accommodation as I’m planning to experience as a backpacker. I want to have interaction with people in their culture and have a minimalistic style of travel. It’s for me to have the same level with locals in terms of living and money so I can resonate and connect with them more.
My route for this trip is to go to the white houses of Greece first then Hawaii, Maldives and lastly Philippines. I want my trip to follow a format called “best to last” because the Philippines is my home country and I wanted to end this trip with something to remember truly. This route provides me the best time frame to experience their beaches in the summer with their beautiful scenery at the best time of the year. Allowing me to capture pictures in time and memories that I can look back on like pictures in a museum.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience such great feats,

Hello and welcome back to my blog,
Today, we are wrapping up on what we learned of our medicine unit for health. Our last task was to make a presentation on medicine and health issue on our final assessment in this unit.
What is Climate Change
Climate change is the long process of changing temperatures and other weather patterns on the global scale. It’s know to be a natural process of changing the climate around the world, but human activities that cause the release of glasses can accelerate the process of climate change.
What is Causing Climate Change
The main thing that is causing climate change is human activities. Our daily needs and our population in this modern world are causing more carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Mode of transportation releases a lot of carbon dioxide and the added population makes up our carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Cutting down trees, Producing food and electricity all release the product carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can reflect the sun’s energy and heat and trapping in the earth which cause climate change and extreme weather events.
Fuel + Oxygen —-> Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide has a lot of chain reactions in this world like contributing to Climate Change and Global Warming. The three greenhouse gasses make a layer at our atmosphere to contain and trap the heat of the sun. This causes warmer temperatures and a catalyst for extreme climate change and weather events.
School Strikes :
The protesters sent them a message in the country that shows that we need to have more awareness towards climate change and the Government needs to step up and tackle the problem. The protest is like holding New Zealand as a whole accountable because they will skip school if they don’t try to take action. I’m sure the students who took part in the protest saw what’s the current situation of New Zealand and have been disappointed that their own country isn’t making progress on their take on climate change. Instead they were focusing on other things that are short term situations even though climate change is a long-term negative situation that can shift the entire country. Having multiple protests can also give an idea that they won’t give up until they meet up with their demands. \
Their demand for awareness of climate change or their movement should take attention as well. The bulk of high-school students were skipping school for this movement.
Main points of the video
It’s very important to read the label of the medication to ensure your safety. It can tell you how to take the medicine properly and also tells you useful information for just reading the label.
Storing the medicine is also important, so you can protect others from accidentally taking it. This is mostly targeted to kids who don’t really know the effects on medicine and are easily mistaken for candy. Medicine should be stored at a cool and dry area which makes a bathroom a bad spot to put it due to the warm and humility of the bathroom.
Children tend to struggle to swallow pills, so having them drink water while taking the pills can have an easier experience taking medication properly. If children still can’t take medication while drinking water, they can crush the pills can mix them it water, so the child will think that they’re just drinking water.
Children can experience major side effects if they accidentally taken medication. The prime example for this is an overdose which fatal to them

Hello and we did the New Zealand Natural Disasters topic, which is just researching what happened in two New Zealand that happened.
Hello,
This term we’re doing a new topic to our Social Studies which is all about disasters in our world. To define the key words what we’re using for this topic, we’re starting with a glossary about the definition of the words they’re using their text.
Disaster: A sudden, catastrophic event that causes significant disruption, damage, and distress to a community or society, often overwhelming local capacity to cope (Natural, Technological, Human-made).
Impact: The consequences or effects of a disaster on people, infrastructure, economy, and the environment.
Resilience: The ability of communities and societies to withstand and recover from the effects of disasters, often through preparedness, response, and adaptation measures.
Emergency Response: The immediate actions taken by governments, organisations, and communities to address the needs of affected populations during and after a disaster, including search and rescue operations, medical care, and humanitarian aid.
Hello and welcome back to my blog,
Today we’re wrapping up our topic about drugs for our health topic in term 3. Overall we have learned a lot of fun and unique topics of drugs in a fun format of it. For today we’re bringing all things that we learned for this term and putting them together into a presentation assessment of it . We have to follow a certain requirement of questions for what level we’re aiming for to get which my one is excellence.
For this level we have to follow the questions with full detail on it and follow the key steps of the assessments. The assessments had two parts which the first one was to cover our choice of drugs and answer the basic questions about like the looks, effects and the name of the drug. The second part of our assessment is following a scenario of the drug that you pick and cover the positive and negative consequences, feelings and the well-being of it.
The presentation that I did is in canva due to the amount of creativity you can do on the templates which can be really eye-catching. It also provides me with the necessary images that relate to my questions that make my assessment look more neat and proper while having tons of information on it as well.
Aim :
I want to find out the levels of acidity and bases is in house-hold chemicals :

Why ?
| Chemical being tested | Acid or Base? | Evidence from investigation |
| Toilet Cleaner | Acid | Because the colour and litmus paper turned red. |
| Floor cleaner | Base | Because the colour and litmus paper turns blue. |
| Dishwashing soap | Base | Because the colour and litmus paper turns blue. |
| Spray and wipe away | Acid | Because the colour and litmus paper turns red. |
| 7 up | Acid | Because the colour and litmus paper turns red. |
Discussions
Why did different household chemicals change different colours ? (Link this IONS Present)/ How did you know if these chemicals change were acidic or basic
The reason that the chemicals change into different unique colours is due depending how the chemicals are acidic or basic. If we look at their electron configuration we can see two elements that are chemical bonded together with either a hydrogen atom or hydroxide atom. Hydrogen atom is considered to be acidic while Hydroxide is basic or in other soapy for cleaning products.
Universal indicators that we used are made for finding out if something is acidic or a base. The colour of it also comes to play because we can see that universal indicators are neutral due to its green colour and also tells us the PH level will be 7. If we put an acid for an example, it can change into a warmer colour due to its acidic properties. It can also drop the Ph level that tells us that something is acidic. It also works for bases but it changes into a cooler colour while having the Ph level go up.
Why might Universal Indicator be much more effective or more useful than Litmus Paper
Conclusions
Did all your experiments work ? ( If they didn’t’ Why ?)
Yes it did
What could you do to improve your science next time ?
What happens if you have different variables ?
Explanations
Alkali = Base that dissolves in water
Hello and welcome back to my blog,
Today we did some work about drugs and their consequences of their side effects. We had to choose two drugs for our liking and talk about their 5 side effects and consequences. Figuring out if they are personal, positive or negative and using the 4 walls of Hauroa is also part of their side effects as well. For my presentation, I chose Opium due to it’s rich history and random drug which are ibuprofen or well-known as pain killers.
