Words of advice :) + Lockdown thoughts

Kia Ora, to everyone who reads my blogs. To be honest at some point of my life I thought blogs and blogging in general were a complete waste of time. I thought that blogging knowing that not many people read, is weird and to be honest, very dumb. However my thoughts have changed due to the reason that I blog to cure my boredom and not because it is expected.

 I know everyone goes through the "lockdown phase". Where you find yourself feeling very down, for no reason. You don't have the motivation to go to class or work meetings, the feel to complete work. Normally with this feeling, speaking from personal experiences, I find myself isolating from other people. I shut others out for days, weeks, and even months. I don't attend classes nor do I complete the work. All I do is exceed due dates and feel completely bad for myself. Today marks the very many days where I take action for change. If this relates to you, don't you worry. Yes, we are going through tough times and it's hard however we can only focus on one thing. Instead of damaging yourself for not doing anything productive, you can do small things that make a difference. Instead of self destructing because you missed your meetings, take a breather to calm down. Realise the situation and acknowledge where you messed up and carry on with your day. It's easier said being done, but once you trust this process you will feel yourself more at ease. If you don't end up feeling well, I attached some wholesome animals facts below. Check them out :) 

I'm rooting for you - M ✩

For those who know, I am apart of a project based learning class. And for those who do not know, Hello I am Mafi :). I am a year 10 student apart of a project based learning class. We find issues commonly found in our community, and try create projects that help to improve our area. This year my team chose a project idea based off a "Helping a local doctor". Our main objective was to help by reusing his space to plant whatever and do whatever. Sooner or later our main project changed to a "Community Garden".

︵︵︵︵︵︵︵

↳ ❝ ➋ 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬💡¡! ❞

 

So while I am on the topic of my project, I thought it was right of me to introduce my team members. My team consisted of my fellow classmates Liena, Eden, Jaylim and Poiva. With the five of us all together, we were Team Herb, naming ourselves after our previous project idea, a community garden. Here is a group photo we took at the Botanic Garden <3 If you are interested in my team members, please let me know if the comments. I will link their blogs :)

︵︵︵︵︵︵︵

↳ ❝ ➌ 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬💡¡! ❞

The struggles we had were firstly planing and creating our first prototype. While the other groups had a fair idea of their type of "space" they were working with, we unfortunately didn't until an amount of time passed. This was a struggle because normally a prototype is your foundation to planning and ideating. Another one of our struggles were actually figuring out what to do with the space after we finish our major idea. Yes our main plan was to plant, but what happens after was a huge knock back for us. We were lost in what we were going to do with the products or space. Will we be continuing to plant? Were we going to sell our fruits? Were we planning to completely build a garden on school site? Many questions and speculations started to rise after the first few weeks of planting. We still are undergoing about what we plan to do after, but we will eventually choose what will happen until then, I will keep you updated.

︵︵︵︵︵︵︵

↳ ❝ ❹ 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬💡¡! ❞

Our achievements however are much more significant. Some of achievements we made were planting beds. Now days it is not often you see kids or teens outside planting, they are normally inside. It was new for us to be planting, so learning how to lay the beds down was a huge achievement. Not only that we manage to get in touch of stakeholders(that weren't teachers lol). We made contact with local construction men for their left over soil, we made contact with Lucy, a local lady who also plants and Doctor Jannie who is a neighbour to the planting site. We have other achievements, but these are the ones that stood out to me.

︵︵︵︵︵︵︵

↳ ❝ ❺ 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬💡¡! ❞

a. What was your project? And what was your how might we question?

How Might TC students help a community group build and look after a community garden*

b. What was the design thinking process you took to answer your "How might we" question and How did you feel about it?

The design thinking process we took was these specific steps. Defining a challenge, ideating, creating a prototype to then test it out and then reflecting on our barriers and achievements. I felt very good about our "How might we" question. Not only is it different to my previous project challenge, its main purpose was to help locals.

c. Share about your experience from the Showcase night.

My experience from the showcase night was amazing. Many do not know it but another project team from my class, held the showcase as their project idea. With the amount of time they had to even create the showcase night was truly spectacular. I give many props to them, and yeah it was overall a fun and enjoyably night :)

d. Is there anything you could do differently?

Spend more time on the presentation. Although we had some issues and events that didn't go to plan, I feel that our presentation slides could have been better than how it was presented. Other than that, I think my team and I did well in everything we had to do.

Static Image -Compass

❱ http:˚♡ mafs! ˚ˑؘ : : ·

˚To be very honest, I am blogging out of the feeling of boredom. One of my goals for 2021 is trying to blog at least once a month. So here I am, doing my blog for the month. In this blog I tried creating a static image for a compass? That was the task given for English so I am honestly not sure if I executed the task to the given standard. However I am very proud of it, and think it is very pretty :) 

 

Study notes for maths

Multiples:

     ⌦  Find  the  multiples of 

the   stated    number

For example

What are the first

5  multiples  of 6:

1. 12, 18, 24, 30 

﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ 

Factors:

     ⌦  The numbers that are 

multiplied  with  each 

other    to  equal    to

the  given     number.

For  example

What are the 

factors of 30: 

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ 

Prime Numbers:

     ⌦ A number that has only

          two   factors. The   two 

          factors     are   its  own 

          number ,   and       one

For example 

List  all the  prime 

numbers   between

1 and 20:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19

﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏

Significant figures

  ⌦  To count the digits and look 

        at   the  next  number.  5  or

        higher    round    up ,  lower

        than    5     round       down.

For example

24. 872 becomes 20 

because   24  has to 

be  rounded down to 

the     nearest  whole 

       which    is     20

﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏ ﹏

Fraction of an amount

  ⌦ Divide the whole amount with 

        the       denominator       then 

        times    with  the   numerator.

For example:

4/6 of 30. 30 divided by 6 equals to 5.

You    then    multiply  5  with 4  which 

equals to 20. So  4/6  of 30  equals 20

For anyone who is reading, New Zealand is currently in lockdown. Auckland specifically is in Alert level 3 whereas the rest of the nation is in Alert level 2. Today is day two out of three and I have a heap of work to complete. Today's blog post is about Social Studies and recapping on what actually happened originally.  That's all the context that is needed. I hope all are staying home and keeping well. Thank you 

and take care :)

》───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───《

Today in Social Studies our online task was to review what really happened at Waitangi. We had to watch a short film and fill out a P.M.I chart that was below on the document. The P.M.I task was writing positive, negatives, and something interesting about a certain aspect that was given. An example of my work is in the image beside this text. After completing the first task, We had to list an important person from the film. Also, an example of my work completed is the second photo.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

 The main point of this blog post was to say my opinion on the film. I personally found the film very educational. It taught me everything I could have learned in three periods of Social Studies. Also, it's a short film, which makes it much more fun. I definitely recommend the video to students in my age range. It's educational, funny, and easy to understand.

Today in maths we were learning about multiplying and dividing integers. One of our tasks was to try and play a math game. It was pretty fun and easy :)) The game link is there if you want to play.

How is everyone doing? I trust all who are reading are taking very good care of themself and family. Today's blog is about reviewing last year's science work, before that, however, I would like to go over a few things.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞:: 💌

2020 as many of you all know was not the year that many of us expected. We went through lockdown, social distancing, and strict rules we all had to follow to ensure everyone's safety. I personally struggled with all my work and lacked in motivation and many of my learning areas. To be completely honest I forgot 90% of the lessons that were taught to me last year. I thought it was only right for me to go back and re-learn/re-gain the knowledge I basically left in 2020. This brings us to the main point of this blogpost.

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭::

As I previously stated, I reviewed the lessons I learned last year during the lockdown. I managed to cover work focused on Earth. The first part of the work based on Earth's inner crust and layers. I found a keyword in the text I was reading that I didn't understand well. After drawing my small diagram of Earth's crusts I came back to the word and discovered its definition. It's a very interesting word to say :) I also went over what the Oceanic crust is. I drew a small purple Earth with pink continents because why not? xD

     ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.༓*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆☽    

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭::

The second part of the reviewing lesson was about energy transformation. The big question was, "How does light from the sun travel to Earth." I read the context that was given to me last year by my science teacher, and it again contained words I didn't understand well. With the same method, I already said in the first part, I listed the unclear words and decided to do some research on them. After many many tries, I finally managed to get the definition of the words. I eventually made a definition of the words in an easier way for me to understand. I looked through many sites which I will link if you guys would want to read through :)
