Cause and Effect of Methamphetamine

Cause and Effect Of Methamphetamine on Communities.

Methamphetamine (meth) is one of New Zealand’s A class high risk drugs. Meth is a drug that is very addictive and hooks people in straight away, this is why it is one of NZ’s most addictive and most bought drugs.

Meth is so dangerous, even if you are not the person growing or taking meth and your neighbour or family member is, you can still be affected by the toxins and fumes that are released from the meth labs. Other reasons consist of things like they are a huge fire hazard in fact 5% of meth labs around the world are discovered by a fire or explosion in the house, this also puts family members in danger of serious injury or death. Meth also puts children in danger because if parents have a meth lab in their house the children will have to be taken away and put into foster care because if they are around meth at an early age it can severely damage their lungs and brain.

Methamphetamine is made up of many toxins and chemicals but here are some of them: Acetone, alcohol, freon, anhydrous ammonia, red phosphorus, hypophosphorous etc… The effects that meth can have on users is insane, things like AIDS from sharing dirty needles also HIV and hepatitis are a possibility. This fact really amazes me and I don’t think it’s very fair, so if someone buys a house and rents it out to a family and the family starts growing meth in the house the owner not the the tenants but the owner has to pay to get rid of the meth lab. This can cost up to $5000. Meth labs can be in houses, hotels, basements and even cars! Also each pound of meth produced, five to si pounds of hazardous wastes are generated. Thats a lot.

Methamphetamine is a growing issue all around the world and labs can go unnoticed in neighbourhoods for years and we need to put a stop to this by making a stand.

The Lighthouse

Some say a prison, dungeon or a house … yes a house … and whoever lives in this house … well … he is another kind. The story goes that one day the operator was sitting up in his enormous, broken down lighthouse when BOOM!! A colossal amount of water comes crashing into the lighthouse like a cyclone. Now at this point you would think that the operator would have been swept away and that was the end of that … well … that is infact what some believe … but no 64 years later what really happened was TERRIFYING!!

Marae Visit

As we are walking in we hear the kaikaranga being sung out, the karanga is what the kuia sing to welcome the manuhiri. It's all very peaceful as we make our way under the waharoa and into our seats outfront of the Turangawaewae Marae.

We take our seats with the men in front and the woman at the back and begin the powhiri. Firstly the kaikorero stands up and starts saying his mihi and then begins to welcome us to their Marae. After that Mr Pene stands up and says his own mihi and then thanks the people for welcoming us onto the Marae. Once Mr Pene had finished speaking he placed an envelope on the ground to act as a koha which is a gift in maori as a act of peace.

A koroua then came out and picked up the envelope

Chinese Dining Day

On Monday we went to the Master House Chinese Restaurant for Chinese Dining Day. We hopped on the bus all very excited to try what we have been all term for. As we sat down all the other people in the restaurant looked very concerned as to what was going on. The first course to come out was wontons then followed by noodles, deep fried squid, chicken dumpling, steamed buns, calamari, chicken feet, coconut buns and finally the mango jelly.  I didn't try all of those but from ones I did try I was amazed at the different flavours and tastes that was bought out in the different foods. My favourite food had to be the delicious chicken dumpling followed by the deep fried prawn. This was an amazing experience and I definitely want to do it again. This also wouldn't have been possible without Ms Turner who had so much organising to do for this and I'm sure everyone appreciated her hard work to make this all possible.

Olympic Prayer

Dear god please be with all the athletes as they try their best to win at the olympics. Make them safe and give them persistence so that they can compete at a high level without failure. Amen

100 WC W6

 Suddenly the kid falls into the enclosure, people scream and shout in despair and watch the rare species of silver back drag the young boy around the enclosure. The 450lb gorilla was shot as it was getting stressed and showing anger towards the child. This caused outrage around the world because many other zoos around the world including Hamilton Zoo did not agree with the gorilla being shot. They believe the huge gorilla should have been tranquilized but the Cincinnati Zoo soon came back and said that it would take too long have an effect on the enormous silver back.

100 WC T2W5

It’s a cold winter's morning when three mates are getting ready to got a camping trip. After an hour of packing the car they finally start driving. They plan on going to the Waipakihi Valley in the middle of winter which in the past has proved to be a very bad idea as in the past there have 4 casualties when people have gone unprepared and ended up stranded. They arrive at the camp site in the pitch black of night. They try to start a fire and as the flame flickered and went out they all heard a scream.

Big Idea Paper Plane Activity 3rd and Final Design

3rd and Final Design
This time I cut my piece of paper in half and tried to make a smaller, faster more agile plane. It definitely flew faster than the other two but because of the smaller wingspan it didn't fly as fast. I believe that my second plane was the best as it was able to fly the furthest and it was also my favourite because of its looks.

Big Idea Paper Plane Activity 2nd Design

2nd design


This time I gave the plane a bigger wingspan to create more lift. This worked and it flew longer than the first design.

Big Idea Paper Plane Activity

1st design

I wanted to try a different design to what I normally make and it seemed to fly well. This is different because instead of of folding the wings once I folded them twice to try and give it a little more lift so it would fly further.

This time I gave the plane a bigger wingspan to create more lift. This worked and it flew longer than the first design.

Term 2 Goals

1. My first goal is to move up a reading group by reading more in my own time to improve my reading.
2. My second goal is to get a one in science by completing all the tasks to the best of my ability and staying on task throughout the whole lesson.
3. My third goal is to get a effort point in football by emptying the tank, leaving everything on the field and I will try and help the coach helping bring the sports gear to training and I will always turn up to training on time.

What is happiness.

When you are having fun and doing the things that you enjoy . When you are with your family and friends going places and doing things with the people close to you.
