Learning Reflection
Today for health we had to answer three questions about hauora. Here are the questions and answers.
A conclusion on what the ‘Whare tapa wha’ is and how it illustrates Hauora
Whare tapa wha is the whare with the four walls Taha tinana, Taha wairua, Taha hinengaro and Taha Whanau. This illustrates hauora because It is about your wellbeing and keeping yourself healthy.
How did you participate during this lesson?
By doing the work and doing it at my very best. By listening to the teacher. Next time I will try harder by completing my faster and with more quality.
What is the current state of your hauora?
I think my current state of hauora is good. Here is a screenshot of what I made for this:

Wonder - WIP
Intro - Close up, Spaceman jumps into shot , Slow motion to give the feeling we are in space.
-Intro symbol of the astronaut helmet , covers his face, represents the barrier august puts between himself and the world.
Music - starts quiet, slow but the tempo and dynamics increase to build energy in the scene we hear a radio of ground control talking to astronaut
-next it is a tracking shot as we move away from the figure. it is now a boy in a helmet jumping on his bed
- Close up shows us augies reality or view of the world but as we pull back we see the real world
Nate "it is like leading a lamb into the slaughter"
Narrator 1 - Auggie Narrator 2 - Via Narrator 3 - Jack Narrator 4 - Mirrand Last Narrator - Auggie
2 mins - Building suspense as we still haven't seen the boys face. We dont know whats wrong but hints its bad - Hospital tags, School conva, Auggies dialogue in the voice over
Star Wars- a symbol of auggie wanting people to treat him normally - a safe place in the star wars universe there a lots of weird looking people so no one stares at then
Summer - " When choosing to be right or kind, choose kind"
Links-to the Theme-Popularity acceptance I've seen this though Jack as he says what he knows Julian wants to hear so he doesn't become the target-get picked on
The nature reserve fight scene: 1.29 - 1.32
During fight shots used to make Auggie and friends look bigger more powerful & the bullies weak and vulnerable.
-Music has fast tempo to build intensity.
Significance - Auggie has grown has a character, he is now willing to stand up for himself.
Significance - Auggie finally feels acceptance when the other boys stand up for him and does´t have to hide behind a mask anymore.

Halloween Scene :42.56 second
Body Language-change now has head held up high,walking with confident stride,interlarding with others
Music-Happy/upbeat-monster mash,fast tempo,lots of energy.
When he hears jack saying' if I looked like him I'd kill myself-music tempo gets slow, quiet dynamics yo make us focus use of diagetic smart kids laughter.
- star wars charterer Darth sidious used by Julien to make fun of Auggie.
-Significant-We see Auggie loses faith in the idea of friendship-if Jack can be that mean behind his back hour can be trust
Links-to the Theme-Popularity acceptance I've seen this though Jack as he says what he knows Julian wants to hear so he doesn't become the target-get picked on
Jacks fight scene: eye level mid shot makes us feel a part of the convo
sounds are diagetic low angle shot as boys hit ground, makes the scene more powerful and dangerous. Moves to close of the struggle
- Dutch tilt and low angle makes jack look more aggressive and violent.
-Music minor(sad), quiet dynamic - creates focus and intense. Slow-mo to see the event more clearly
significance- shows the theme of popularity/ acceptance jack has learned from his mistake and is standing up for AuggieThe nature reserve fight scene: 1.29 - 1.32

Food Testing
Aim: What nutrients are present in different food.
Hypothesis: We are testing for simple sugar, Complex sugar and protein. The things that we are testing are bread, egg, glucose, apple, milk and potato.
What I think:
Bread: Complex sugar
Egg: Protein
Glucose: Simple Sugar
Apple: Simple Sugar
Milk: Protein & Complex Sugar
Potato: Protein & Complex Sugar
Method for complex sugars: put two drops of iodine in the test tubes and wait.
Results
The bread turned black with the iodine. So it has complex sugar.
The apple turned black so it is positive.
The potato was positive.
The egg, the milk and the glucose were negative for complex sugar.
Method for simple sugars: Put 5 drops of Benedict's regnant in and heat.
Results
Results
The Glucose and the apple were positive.
The potato had a tiny bit but was not fully positive
The egg, milk and bread were negative
Results:
Milk and egg positive.
Apple, potato, bread and glucose negative.
Conclusion: The conclusion was I got 4 out of 6 things right in my hypothesises.
Discussion: I think this test was fun to do and the two tests that I did were successful. I learnt that simple sugars give a fast burst of energy. That complex sugars give slow bursts of energy. Also that protein mostly comes from animals.
