 The Haka

The haka a nearly forgotten sacred type of communication lost over the years but what exactly is the haka

The story of the forgotten haka

The haka is one of the most popular greetings or thank you to the moari but what made the haka slowly fade over the year at 19th century the haka was originally made to show how strong and fierce to intimate there rivals at the time of war as they performed the haka they waved there weapons all through the air to imteame the rivals with the loud noise of the takahe and there fierce pukana 

But now the haka is usually performed as thank you or as welcome to guests they usually perform at events like at a marea,birthday parties, wedding and more the haka can even be performed at funerals to say goodbye to there whanau or friends the haka is not offence is anyway it is described respectful and heartwarming.

Types of haka

There are 6 different types of haka the Whakatu Waewae,Tutu Ngarahu,peruperu,ngeri,manawa wera,ka mate.Each have there different purposes.First is Whakatu Waewae,Whakatu Waewae involves the warriors to stand upright and stamping their feet. There are no weapons involved in this dance.this haka was usually performed by the tuhoe people who lived in the eastern end of the north island. A majorly forested area where lake waikaremoana is located.Next is Tutu Ngarahu. Tutu Ngarahu this haka involves side to side jumping,This haka strongly involves weapons.next the Peruperu haka.the peruperu haka was a true war dance they performed this dance in front of rivals or enemies to intimidate them they would usually hold weapons.the the ngeri. The ngeri was to motivate warriors to “motivate the warriors' ' this is a very expressive haka the warriors would express their specific emotions and feelings in their own way in the dance. Now the manawa wera. The manawa wera is mostly associated with death and funerals. The dancers have freedom for their own dance moves. Lastly, the ka mate. it Was made by the international rugby team of new zealand the all blacks.made by the moari chief Te Rauparaha. When he escaped his enemies. The Haka starts with a chant beginning with "Will I die, Will I die, Will I live, Will I live".

Maths for checking 9 times tables

this strategy is simple and easy this is how you do it

so the question is  6 X 9 = 54 so

5 + 4 = 9 right?

with all the 9 time tables ( only up to 10 )

1 X 9 = 9 + 0

2 X 9 = 18 so 1 + 8 = 9

3 X 9 =  27 so 2 + 7 = 9 

so that's how it works!

thank you big brother for teaching me this!

(it only works with 9 times tables

Maths

 If 3/5 is 12 how much is 5/5

this is how i worked it out

 12 + 12 = 24

but that's 6/5 so i need to get rid of one group so 

24 - 4 = 20 so the answer is 20

Stop world pollution

 Stop world pollution

There are many harmful things that humans are doing to Earth. Including the earth and that's what has caught my attention.

possible outcomes 

The earth is something irreplaceable it’s something you can’t just make, we should be caring for it not destroying it. We pour gallons and  tons of toxins and rubbish into the ocean and remote spots. who knows what that can lead to.but there are some highly predictions:no fish due to overfishing,extinction to endangered animals and non endangered - more animal extinct,toxic waters,closed down lakes and rivers,no greenery barely any trees, and even extension to humans. Because of us this can be the end of humans as we know it.

our solar system

We are already polluting our earth so much but who said we’ll stop there? What’s next Jupiter,Venus,Mars,Neptune or Saturn? We really need to think about the choice we make, it's not going just to affect us, think of what's going to happen to us in the future? We need to stop thinking short term and start thinking long term because the present won’t stay the same  for long so think long term. Each second minutes hours days years decades centuries each kill off more of the earth as we know it.

  destruction we have caused

We have caused a lot of problems to our secret earth but what exactly are we throwing into it, maybe I don't know maybe…

toxins,chemicals,poisons,overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, deforestation,untreated sewage,Air Pollution,Waste Management,Layer Depletion,harmful chemicals in Oceans and Fisheries.shall I go on?

Karma has already caught up with us but there are some things we can do to get rid of the karma.like Replace disposal items with reusable items.The use of paper should be avoided.Conserve water and electricity.Support environmental friendly practices.Recycle the waste to conserve natural resources and more we can still save the earth if we finally chosse to make these choices.

The future for all of us is in our hands. It's not too late to make a difference that can easily have a great impact on our future.
