Made in Taiwan

This article is mainly about two men named Oscar and Nathan who want to trace their origins of their people, to find their identities. Also there adventure that is about to begin started in New Zealand, which is also called Aotearoa. So the two  men named Oscar and Nathan wanting to know where their ancestors come from so they take a swab and send it to Oxford. While waiting for the results they sail on a waka all the way to Mahia through Vanuatu, Samoa and The Cook Islands. Once they arrive in Mahia they receive their results and sit down with Nathan’s parents to reveal their results. I think that him finding out that his family are descendants of the Taiwan.

They travel to the Cook Islands to find out more about their ancestors because a lot of cook Islanders had the same Clan father as him. They see where the Canoes left from the Cook Islands to Aotearoa and discover all the special monument there. They notice all the weeds and stuff making the monument look dirty so they clean it up. They visit a cook Island family’s house and see how similar they are to New Zealand Maori people. The people that are from there are just like the people that are from New Zealand. And they traveled to the Islands of Samoa.

When they’re finished in Cook Island they head off to Samoa to catch up with Oscar’s family. They first go to his cousins that used to look after him and Oscar goes on to show Nathan where they bury some relatives like his dad and others, once his dad passed away, his mum took him to New Zealand for a long time. But when he went to New Zealand, he didn’t really want to go back to Samoa because of what happened to his family.

When he was traveling to all the places where his ancestors where he learned a lot about where he was from and he found out who he really was. He was really happy finding out that his family was a very big family. Also the places that he had visited were sacred and traditional to his ancestors that lived 3000 years ago.

First design of engineering

On Tuesday the 6th of March, 9tgn crafted a module of what it would look like if an earthquake hit. First Mrs Wells handed out the equipment that we were going to use. Also we didn't have to use all of it for our  earthquake model. My group thought about what the plan was to create a house that would last throw out a big or small earthquake. We started of with a Triangle shape, and kind of worked but then it just fell over and broke. But then I made my own and it served the earthquake.

Kaikoura Quake

New Zealand's largest fault line is more active than scientists previously thought and could generate "mega thrust" earthquakes up to magnitude 9.0, and giant tsunamis. A year after the magnitude-7.8 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, scientists fear that it wasn't "the big one". The Hikurangi fault abduction zone, which spans offshore from the east of Gisborne to around Kaikoura and the top of the South Island, had been thought dormant before the massive Kaikoura tremor, Fairfax reports. I think that all of these earthquakes are very important and that people should be aware of when it is going to happen.
