DAY 4: HAUORA

Activity 1: Medical Mavericks [4 points]

Over the years, many important discoveries have been made by clever people looking to help others. Two of these are women - Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie whose work has been widely recognised and appreciated. Both women lived extraordinary lives.

Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in England. When she grew up, she trained to be a nurse and, as an adult, was sent to Turkey during the Crimean War to look after wounded soldiers. When she arrived, the hospitals were very dirty so she spent money to clean them up and to provide the soldiers with quality care. She saved many lives.

Marie Curie was born in Poland in 1867. Eventually, she moved to France to go to university. While there, she learned a lot about physics, chemistry and maths. She spent her career conducting experiments that led to the discovery of chemical elements. She was also the first person to use an x-ray machine to look at the human body. She earned two Nobel Prizes for her work.

Nobel Prizes are given out every year to people who have done something extraordinary in six specific fields of study - Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace, and Economics.

For this activity, please follow this link to view the list of Nobel Prize winners, choose one, read about them and then share your learning on your blog.

On your blog, tell your readers who you chose and then tell us about them in five to ten sentences. Who were they? What did they do that was so special? Feel free to include a picture of your chosen Nobel Prize winner on your blog.

Michel Mayor

Michel Mayor won The Nobel Prize in physics this year. He won the prize because of his discovering of orbiting a solar type star. He was born on January 12 ,1942 in Lausanne,Switzerland. He studied in the University of Geneva in Geneva,Switzerland. He was first studding at the University of Lausanne then he moved to the University of Geneva on 1971 then became a professor there on 1988. He discovered "51 Pegasi b" with Didier Queloz.  It was discovered on October 6,1995. It take 15 light years to get there and also it take 102 hours to orbit the whole thing. Other Planets without people knowing the Temperature is called the golden locks planet because we don't know if it's to hot or to cold for people to live in. But the "51 Peagasi b" is not one because we know the temperature.  The temperature is claimed to be 1000 °C / 1800 °F.

Activity 2: iMoko [4 points]

Dr Lance O’Sullivan is a Māori doctor who lives in Kaitaia, Northland. He has committed his life to improving the health and well-being of both his patients and people in the local community. In 2014 he was named New Zealander of the Year.

Together, Lance and his wife, Tracy, have started some very cool projects in New Zealand including affordable clinics, the Kāinga Ora (healthy homes) initiative and the MOKO Foundation. The MOKO Foundation provides healthcare for students in school-based clinics. He has also started iMOKO, a digital initiative (programme) whereby people living in communities without doctors, can take photos of health issues and send them to doctors in Kaitaia. The doctors look at the photos, provide advice and can send a script to the local pharmacy so that the patient can get medicine. This programme is improving the health and well-being of people living in rural Northland.

For this activity please think about your own health and well-being (hauora). What do you, or those in your family, do to stay healthy?

On your blog, share five things that you do to stay healthy and strong.

My mum,Siblings and I always go for a walk on the basin. (Can't Say Location Cyber Smart)

We always pick which veges you would from the supermarket to cook our meal with. 

I always get off my PlayStation 4 and go and practice playing Soccer,American Football and Basketball outside.

I always sign up for inter school sports because it's fun and also keeps you strong.

Playing rough sports makes your spirit and strength high so you can always play with a healthy spirit and strength. 

Activity 3: Putting Our Heads Together [6 points]

Health is a complex and complicated topic. Most people believe that there are many dimensions (areas) of health - physical health, social health, mental health, emotional health, etc. Mental health is an area that is not often discussed. It is basically the way we think and feel about ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes our mental health can be affected by things t

hat have happened in our lives, or by changes in our brains that we cannot control.

Here in New Zealand, people like Mike King and John Kirwan have made the choice to speak publicly about the mental health challenges that they face. Overseas, people like The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have joined the discussion about mental health and, like John and Mike, started a foundation to support people struggling with mental health challenges.


John Kirwan started the John Kirwan Foundation in 2018. Mike King founded The Key to Life Foundation, the I Am Hope and the Gumboot Friday campaigns while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started the Heads Together foundation in 2017. In each case, these foundations serve an important role in the community.

For this activity, we would like you to imagine that John Kirwan, Mike King and/or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge called you up and asked you to design a new poster for their organisation. You could use Google Draw to help design your poster.

On your blog, post a final copy of your poster and include a description of the poster. What is on the poster? Why did you include the pictures or words that you did? The more that you can tell us about your design, the better!

So this is my Poster so lets start by talking about what I wrote So I wrote down about what Sir John Kirwan Foundation is trying to do and also a fact the happen's a lot everywhere around the world.  Then I actually made my very own Images one of the Sir John Kirwan Foundation Logo and won made as a person helping another person also known as a helping hand.
