ANZAC Parade

Last week, on the 25th of April,I was involved in the ANZAC march. For this event, we marched from Gillies Street to the War Memorial Park. From there, current men and women in service would line up in their service lines (Air force, Fire department and Police), while retired members would have their own separate seating. The service chiefs and some school members would then lay down their wreaths (after Bubble spoke and the other memorial acts ensued) and returned to the parade line. After that, The last post would play with the coming down of the flag, and then reveille would play after that. The last ode would also be recited, and the head girl and head boy of the college would recite their own poems. After a song and the national anthem, the parade would be separated and the people would resume their day as normal. Overall, I enjoyed the parade and, thinking about what these soldiers went through for our freedom, I could not be more grateful.

Hello, I'm back for another term. So, coming back with a positive mental attitude meant it was refreshing to write another piece. Honestly, I didn't really find it hard to write this. I decided to write about this because it was a very good parade and it was nice to be there. Anyway, hope it catches your interests. See Ya!

Jury Nullification

Jury Nullification is a concept that the Jury find the defendant not guilty because they do not support a certain government law,do not think it's a law good for human rights or do not support the said punishment out of the guilty outcome. This concept also works for sentencing people that are Not Guilty,because they do not believe in a certain law. In America in the 1850s, Jury nullification was used to appease the freedom of slaves,that was protected by Secretary Of State David Webster. It was also used after the civil war, where the jury decided to keep the White Soldiers (who were then accused of crimes by dark colored soldiers) safe,despite large amounts of correct evidence.

Hello,My name is Mase and this is my last piece of free writing for the term! For this, I decided to write about Jury Nullification because I was reading a bit of it before and so I decided to research more on it,so that was that. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and next term,it will be back...:)

Te Reo Mahi

For the past term, We have learning a lot about how to speak in Te Reo. We have been learning some sentence starters such as "Ko Wai Te O? (Who is the Relative of Who?)" and "E aha ana a _? (What is this person doing?)" Through these activities,I have not just learnt Te Reo,I've learnt a bit more about my friends. We have also been learning actions in Te Reo and also about Maori gods,not to mention we have also been learning a new karakia to go along with our learning. So overall,learning Te Reo has been pretty enjoyable and I hope we could be able to do some more.

Womens suffrage history

Hello! My name is Mase and this is my Women's suffrage history post. For this task,we had to write down some facts about the New Zealand Women's Suffrage Movement, as this task was part of the topic we have been learning,that is about equal rights to women. Anyways,Hope you all enjoy and I'll see ya'll later!

Mosque Poem

Hello, my name is Mase and this is my Christchurch poem. We had been tasked with writing a poem to commemorate those who were murdered at the Mosque shootings that happened nearly 2 weeks ago. This poem is aimed at remembering those who were shot and also for our support of the Muslim community in New Zealand. Remember, when we unite, we come together as one.

Morse Coding

Morse Code is a encoding scheme and is a form of common telecommunication that consists of using a machine to send encoded messages made up of two signal durations, known as "Dots and Dashes" or "Dits and Dahs". In the 1900s, Morse code was generated from a small machine known as "The Bug", which was a small electric device that consisted of a paddle and a small knob. The user would have to press quickly if they needed a "Dot" or they would hold it down slightly longer for a "Dash" (the same goes for "Dits and Dahs"). Although old telegraphing machines are still commonly used today, modern military forces have devised different ways to generate Morse,including using computer software and using handheld devices known as "Keyers", which is more likely used in the open as a way to signal emergency's and warn the main HQ of that force. 

This was for free writing that I did last week, but now I actually finished it. :-)
So, for free writing,we got to write anything that our mind came up with. I chose Morse code because,from reading a lot of war stories,Morse code is a pretty interesting topic that I thought I wanted to write about. I found this a bit difficult to write about because talking about Morse code is a bit hard to explain properly. Next time,I am going to work on trying to explain in a easier way.
Anyways,Hope you all enjoy and i'll see you all later.

The Brain

The Human Brain is one of the most important organs of the Human body,being the main organ that controls the nervous system of the body. The Brain is made up of the Cerebrum,the Brain stem and the Cerebellum and works as a decision maker,as it receives info from the sensory organs and controls the functions of all organs. The cerebrum divides into four different lobes,The Frontal Lobe,The Temporal Lobe,The Parietal Lobe and The Occipital Lobe. The Frontal Lobe is in control of the functions of the body,The Temporal Lobe controls your memory, The Parietal Lobe integrates different information and The Occipital Lobe controls vision.
