Volunteering

Last term we had a chance of going to the curtain bank and help  fold and clean Curtains or you could have got graffiti removal and cleaned the walls in town and get rid of the graffiti or you got the food bank were u sorted out meals for the less fortunate. I got picked to go to the curtain bank were all the old curtains go that people don't want anymore. The people there clean the curtains and make them look new and sell them cheaper then they usually would cost we went there to help them clean and fold and label them for the workers so they didn't have to do so much work. There were like a thousand curtains and they ranged from big to small and we had to measure them and label them saying if it needs a wash or not.  Then we would put them in bags and pile them up and wait till there sold we didn't actually wait till it was sold but we were there for 2 or 3 hours of the day. There was a lot of standing so my legs hurt after that but I still  had a lot of fun.

Which place would you liked to have gone out of graffiti removal food bank or curtain bank?

Visiting my blog buddy/going to Marshland school

Im a bit late on this topic but last term our school went to Marshlands school to meet our blog buddies. We were there for a few hours but you got a lot of pizza and me and my buddy had a few same interests. and I got my buddy to meet my friends and I got to meet their buddies and we hung out for a bit and then my buddy went and played the games on the screen. And me and my friends and their buddies were still with us but we ended up with 2 of my friends and 1 of the Marshlands kids and then we had to go. My buddy still comments on my blog and hopefully he comments on this one.

Do you have a blog buddy?

Building Bridges

Last term we did 4 science experiments. My favourite one was building bridges. We got to make bridges out of sticks. We learnt that triangles are tougher than just making a bridge with squares on the side. When it got to making a bridge we got groups of 5's in my group I had Paige Benson Nasili and Maia. Since we knew triangles were better  we put as may triangles as possible. The items we were allowed were tape and sticks and we had a certain amount as well. Ours held up really well and it didn't break.

How would you build your bridge?

My main artifact for PBL

My group's PBL driving question was what will the future city look like in 50-100 years.  We made a little town or Little houses and thought the future city would rely on big skyscrapers and help us with moving round. We made a community park with a highway on top of it to save space. And we made a skyscraper and a little church in the back of our build and on the day my buddy set up some blocks and little people so the little kids can build their own house. But i had to watch the stand cause my buddy went off to look at the other creations but i think i did pretty well explaining it and talking about it.


How well do you think you would've gone looking after your creation?

Literacy task

last week we we're doing visual writing or something like that. We had to take a sentence from our book we're reading and put in a box then we have to draw some thing beside and that's what we see when we read that. We had to do 3 of those and this is mine it might be hard to see the writing but you can see the drawing I think

Our fitness circuit

We have been working on a fitness circuit for fitness in our timetable and we get to use these when we go out. When we go out we work in groups of 3-2. My group had 3 people in our group, this is what we designed as our our fitness circuit.

Have you done a fitness circuit? Or designed one?

our pbl driving question

Our pbl driving question for this term is going to be what will the future ask of us.

what we have been doing for the last 2 days. we talked about in the future if robots will take our job and for cashier it came up 95% and for teacher it was 2% and for and for teacher assistants it was 90%.Today we talked about what jobs robots will take from us there were 10 but at the end of the video he said all jobs will taken like fast food restaurants because robots can do it way faster then human can and at McDonald's he said that it was easier to buy a 3500$ robot then paying a worker 15$ a hour.

Diana Isaac

our school went to Diana Isaac every Friday in big ish groups and we played bingo and if you won you would receive a chocolate. I could have won but i tried letting the women next to me win because i think she really wanted the chocolate but my classmates were all trying to win but i didn't really care. We still got one at the end and if you didn't play bingo at the start you would go and talk to the people that were just in the room beside it. And me and a friend talked to this woman that was from a family of 19 which is a huge family and she said she grew up in otago and when it was my turn to play bingo one of the ladies who me and my classmate sat next to she would always put her counters in straight lines



what game would you like to play instead of bingo?

Breakout EDU

a few weeks back we did a test/mini game its breakout edu when you find locks and keys around the area its set in.  Your put in groups you have a timer of 30 minutes i think or 45 im not sure but my group was pretty good at it and we found the locks and keys pretty fast. We got out in 14 minutes or 15 still not sure but it was a fun experience and hope to do it again next year.



how fast would you solve it?

speech

Today i'll be sharing my speech to you  and hope you  enjoy it. its about racism and why it should stop hope you enjoy

Do you know what discrimination Is? Discrimination in when we  treat people unfairly based on their race, gender, ability or religion. 

But my topic for this speech is racism. So i'm not racist but if your brown or a different skin tone  you don't have to worry about people being racist but

 there are some racist people out there so if someone is racist to you or a friend or even someone you don't know help them out and don't join in.

But there is also stereotypes of racism. Like when people say Asians can't see or there really smart and I want to help not with the racism but to make it stop it doesn't help anyone sure he might get a laugh out of it but it wont help us. And in like a hour he will feel bad for you and you might be sad but words can't hurt you like the saying sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.

If your Asian Japanese have you ever been told like you are smart at maths or a certain subject because of what you look like or because of your culture or if your brown people think you might hurt or do something illegal which is totally not true  that’s just just another stereotype. There are way more types of stereotypes and all that but you probably know what it means now. The only reason racism happens is because they are against the blacks/browns and I don't see why because like I said early is that people think brown people always do something bad which is still not true but people have their own opinions.

I want to make a change in our community and our school even at school heaps of racism happens  here and I don't like the way that sounds because were a christian school and we believe in god not racism it's bad enough that it happens all around the world but in our school that is just the worst of the worst because were christian s and we don't believe in racism. And it effects all of us it makes one of us feel bad and the other one is laughing until he actually feels bad for you and might say sorry or he will try to act tough when  he actually really feels bad.Which is really bad for him because he feels really bad now and you know he does. But i'm going a bit off topic right now so lets get back on to racism 

What would you do if you saw someone being discriminated against

Tech term 2

For technology this term im doing sowing im making a pillow. First were doing all the basics like how  to set up the machine which im not that good at.  Then we get our test fabrics like little bits of fabric  so we can test the machine im alright at that still not the best at it. When we get the basics down I think we move on to doing the actual pillow and we put a design. For my design I might do a simple design like some circles or like do this through it /different colours on it and hope I do good on it.



What would your design be for the pillow?
