Goldminer

Goldminer

We looked at a photo of an old gold miner sitting outside his stone and mud house. The roof was covered in strawso in the picture I saw.

The house, the fence, the window , the old man , the young girl, a barrel, a sack and a bucket.

The Otago Gold Rush (often called the Central Otago Gold Rush) was a gold rush that occurred during the 1860s in Central Otago, New Zealand. ... Only a few years later, most of the smaller new settlements were deserted, and gold extraction became a more long-term, industrialised-mechanical process.

Resting heart rate

Resting heart rate 

A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.Children 3 to 4 years old: 80 to 120 beats per minute. Children 5 to 6 years old: 75 to 115 beats per minute. Children 7 to 9 years old: 70 to 110 beats per minute. Children 10 years and older, and adults (including seniors): 60 to 100 beats per minute. 

Why Study History?

Hurumanu 1 Blog Post   - Why Study History?

Studying history is important because it's important to learn about the past and mistakes that were made. Three Historic events I am familiar with in Aotearoa  are Treaty of Waitangi, Matariki and Musket wars. More recent events that have happened in our country are Mosque shootings, Covid - 19 and Earthquakes.

We are listening to chapters from Gavin Bishop’s book ‘Piano Rock’.
He says he values his heritage because his mum’s dad was Tainui, from Waikato.

' It’s enormously important and it’s been a source of inspiration and ideas,
thinking about what life must have been like for my grandfather and his siblings.'

Te Tiriti O Waitangi

Hello people, So last week  we did a DLO of Te Tiriti O Waitangi so here is mine........

The Treaty

                                         The Treaty 

The Treaty was neglected early on after signing. It got water damage, rats gnawed it and it almost burnt in a fire.

The Maori population in the 1830s was reduced to 70-80000 because of disease and wars brought about by the British settlers. The main settlement was Russell and the missionaries and Rangitira didn't like the rough sailors who were always partying and fighting. They abused young Maori women and were often drunk.

Edward Gibbon Wakefield wanted to buy cheap land from Maori and sell to rich Englishmen, then bring out workers from the UK.

The united tribes of NZ was set up to keep the French out of governing NZ. A man called Hobson came to help the Maori get a fair deal and agree to signing the Treaty.

Tino Rangitiratanga refers to authority of the chiefs, but in the English translation, this was given to the crown (Queen). 

Potatoe war

The first European to arrive in Aotearoa in 1642 was Abel Tasman.  He named the land Neuveau Zelandia. The next explorer that arrived in  Aotearoa in 1769 was James Cook. Tu Paia was the first navigator to help the explorers. The explorers brought diseases with them and also pigs, rats and potatoes. Muskets were guns that they fought with. The musket wars ended in 1840. Maori  outnumbered Pakeha 40 to 1.
