Poi refers to both a style of performing art and the equipment used for engaging in
poi performance. As a performance art, poi involves swinging tethered weights
through a variety of rhythmical and geometric patterns. Poi artists may also sing or

dance while swinging their poi.POI is the Maori word for ball on a cord

The POI was used many years ago by the indigenous Maori people of
New Zealand to increase their flexibility and strength in their hands
and arms as well as improving coordination.

Wahine (female) dancers perform the Maori POI a dance performed with balls attached to flax strings swung rhythmically. Those pictured to the right are using short POI.

Communicate what you have learnt and how you will apply what you know to the Year 9 Business Kete...

1. What did you learn about ?

I learnt what Mindfulness and body cues means.

Being mindful taught me to try and understand people more and try and talk to people more about there feelings or how there feeling.

Being aware of body cues can help by understanding the person and how they are feeling or what they are feeling.

2. Was there anything you felt difficult to understand?

It was difficult to understand information about Mindfulness because at first i didn't know what it mean't but then i did a little research and then i ended knowing a little bit of Mindfulness and a lot more about body cues.

I over came this by learning more about Mindfulness and Body cues, so that next time when someone asks what Mindfulness or Body cues mean i can answer back with a answer.

3. When you were talking to a class mate how did you know how they were feeling?

When communicating with my partner i noticed his facial expression wasn't happy but then it was sad or angry so i started to notice by the way he was talking, he was feeling bored.

I could tell they felt this way because he wasn't Angry, Sad, or happy, so i saw that he was feeling bored.

Try see what my character is feeling by clicking the link.



4. How can you apply your new knowledge to your business kete?

During the Business and Enterprise Kete I will be able to show Mindfulness and body cues.

I will do this by showing Mindfulness and body cues.

Science

Aim: To test if a sample of food contains protein.

Method:

* Place about 2mL of the sample into a test tube and add 5 drops of sodium hydroxide.
* Add 5 drops of copper sulfate.
* shake the test tube gently form side to side.

Here are our results:

Shakespeare Act 4 Scene 1

1. The Duke believes that Shylock will claim his bond without showing mercy

2. Shylock wants to claim his bond because Antonio couldn't pay the money back in time.

3. The Duke can dismiss the court session unless the judge comes which is Portia

4. I think Portia is saying to show mercy because it's a blessing and it's the most powerful thing.

5. Shylock now has to give in to Christianity and he loses all his possessions but the money will be given to the state and Antonio

6. Antonio says to tell tales on how much he is a friend to Bassanio

7. Portia convinced Bassanio to get his ring off him where he promise never to take it off to his wife (Portia was in Disguise therefore Bassanio didn't know it was Portia)

8. Portia is trying to show as much mercy as she could so Shylock doesn't have to suffer any consequences

Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 5

Act Three Scene Five

1. Because you can still get punished if your father committed any sins.

2. She thinks having Portia as a wife is a blessing as he found heaven on earth.

Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 4

Act Three Scene Four

1. Lorenzo's opinion on Antonio is that he is a wonderful and faithful man

2. She intends to use money to save Antonio

3. Portia asks Lorenzo to look after her house because she said that she will live a life of prayers and contemplation until her husband Bassaino comes back.

4. I think it's because Portia thinks that if Antonio is her husband best friend they must be alike

5. I think woman back then couldn't enter the court room or their opinions were just avoided.

6. She would wear her sword gracefully, speak like a teenage boy and walk with a manly stride.

7. During the court room, no 

Shakespeare Act 3 Scene 3

1. Antonio believes that Shylock wants to claim his bond is because he gives money to people that haven't payed their loans to Shylock.

2. Because apparently it threatens the security of foreign merchants in Venice.

3.  I think it's because he doesn't care what happens to him and Shylock keeps on insisting claiming his bond.

4.  I think Antonio has a bit of hate towards Bassanio because he says "I hope to God that Bassaino comes to see me pay his debt" It's kind of phrase with no kindness in it

5. Mercy isn't really the same as forgiveness because mercy is where you forgive them but not fully forgive them while forgiveness is which you just forgive them fully.

he video “Who moved my Cheese” is about 2 mice and 2 mini people the 2 mice were called Sniff n scurry, and the 2 Little people were called Hem n Haw.
