in the first week of steam we had to get into groups with our classes, for example all of the tūī 5 people in the steam group had to be in a group.I got into a group with Aarya, Samrita, Nathuli, Jacob, Amirah and Maryam.We decided that me, Aarya and Samrita will work in a group and Jacob, Nathuli, Amirah and Maryam will work in a group.We all had one big paper and had to make a poster about Kaitiakitanga, how we can stop ruining the world and stuff we should stop doing.Aarya was writing everything because she has very good handwriting, I searched things up and Samrita made the paper all colourful and pretty.The first thing we wrote was our meaning which was : Kaitiakitanga means guardians of the land.Protecting the Earth & animals that live inside.Giving attention to animals, birds, insects and fish including fresh-water fish.The dictionary meaning was : The dictionary meaning of Kaitiakitanga is a New Zealand Māori term used for the concept of guardianship of the sky, the sea and the land.We wrote three things of how we can protect the land, protect the water and protect the animals.For how we can protect the land we wrote : 1)Volunteer to help clean up in your community.2) Don’t leave your rubbish on the groundand 3) is to Recycle items.Now for how we can protect the water : 1) Clean-up the ocean, 2) Don’t leave your rubbish by the ocean and 3) is to Waste less water.Finally for how we can protect the animals is : 1) Don’t destroy their homes, 2) Don’t kill the animal’s and 3) is to Avoid fishing and hunting animals.

Steam Stop Motion – The Rain Cycle
In steam we had to make a stop motion that has something to do with kaitiakitanga.We would need to do a life cycle of something and me and my partner (Samrita) choose to do a life cycle about rain and how it works.The steam group had to first make a plan of what we were gonna do.Me and Samrita drew ninth boxes in our steam book and then drew the story, here’s how it goes.The first box was just the setting and background which was a lake with mountains at the end.The second box was the sun shining on the water and the water was boiling up.The third box was about the boiled water dreaming up into the sky.The fourth box was that the steam turns into small rain balls.The fifth box has the rain balls come together and make a cloud.The sixth box had the cloud raining.On the seventh box the setting has changed into a house, there was a bucket on the roof and the rain was going into the bucket.The eighth box had another different setting where the raining stopped and the setting was a back yard with a pool, two gardens and a muddy puddle.The bucket was pouring water into one of the gardens with the sun being bright as ever.The last and final box which is the tenth box just said ‘The end’ in a bubble font.
Insects
In steam my class needs to be in groups of 5 and talk about insects.I was in a group with Ryan, Melody, Elsa and Harjap.Here are some stuff you should probably know! Do you know that there is a hard working bug that decomposing and it’s called a dung beetle.The dung beetle isn’t that popular and is underrated but i think that the dung beetle should be more known because how hard it works.The dung beetle has around 7000 species in 6 different countries! Wow that’s a lot right!? What you should also know is that if the world didn’t have any insects, the world would be disgusting and gross.That’s why we need to care for our insects and not kill them like ants for example, or our bee’s.Bee’s gives us honey which is so delicious and ants are uh..just living! Oh yeah, do you that It supports new plant growth and ensures the ecosystems would receive a constant flow of nutrients? It’s very interesting and so cool to know all these facts!
This paragraph will be about why insects are inspiring.Insects can settle into different environments and they have been here since the dinosaurs so they are survivors(I won’t make it to dramatic so they are just here since the dinosaurs) We can study them and learn about our world.Insects are in every single part of our planet(Literally, well not much of the ocean but the land had lots) insects have unique adaptations and features that inspire the development of medical devices and technologies.For example, the microscopic structures on butterfly wings that repel water and dirt have influenced the design of self-cleaning surfaces for medical instruments and implants
The time when I got my hair dyed…
I’m 2023 term 4 I wanted to get my hair dyed purple.I begged my mom for a whole entire week! On the Thursday that week she finally gave in and said Okay.My Mom told me that on Saturday evening we can go to her friends house who does peoples hair.I was so excited I was literally bouncing off the walls!
When it was Saturday evening my uncle dropped me off to the house when I saw my mom and her friend outside the house just talking.My Mom spotted me and she told me to walk to her.When I walked to the two ladies her friend looked at me with a friendly smile “You must be Inayat, Ria or should I say, Your mum has been talking a lot about you” I looked at her with a excitement expression “I’m so excited to get my hair dyed!” My Mom looked at me, smiling at me and then she looked back to her friend “She wouldn’t stop talking about her hair getting dyed” She spoke with a happy voice then her friend chuckled “Wow, You are so tall.I heard you just turned 10.”
Time went by fast and I was on the chair and her friend was getting her supplies ready for my hair.My mom was on one of the waiting chairs and she said “Can she also get a little trim?.” Her friend nodded and looked back at me.She then said “What colour do you want for your hair?” I think for a moment before I then say “I think Purple” She nodded again.
After 4 hours my hair ends was NOT purple but they were RED.I didn’t really mind it and it did look cool but i think 4 hours for my hair to get dyed was to much time.Me and my mom thanked her and my mom gave her the money.Me and my Mom go to her car and drive away.
