Hi as part of kaupapa matua this term we have been focusing on taking ‘action’ we met the local education officer Jeff we have been learning.

The different types of abuse is Sexual abuse, Physical abuse, Neglect, Verbal, Cyber bullying online, Emotional abuse, Family violence  plus how what will it do to us Sexual abuse is a non consensual touching of a person for one’s own sexual gratification or for the sexual gratification of someone else, especially when the nonconsenting party. Is a child., Physical abuse is any intentional act causing injury or trauma to another person through bodily contact. It is a deliberate act of force that results in harm, injury, or trauma to the victim’s body. This can include a range of behaviors from hitting, slapping, and punching to more severe forms of violence., 

Neglect is how their parents pay no attention or too little attention to disregard or slight. Like how your parents don’t give you food,water,school and shelter, Verbal is pertaining to or concerned with words only as opposed to ideas, facts, or realities, Cyber bullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person and Emotional abuse includes non-physical behaviors that are meant to control, isolate, or frighten you. This may present in romantic relationships as threats, insults, constant monitoring, excessive jealousy, manipulation, humiliation, intimidation, and divisiveness, among others.,

Family violence when an adult, typically a parent or caregiver, uses violence to control and/or harm a family member. The abuse can be physical, emotional/psychological or sexual. Neglect is another form of abuse. And he told us to go in the middle of the room then put the types of abuse in the room,tells us a few stories, let us choose what type of abuse is from the story and say why we chose this abuse. Then he also taught us that the abuser may take into court and can go to jail or not.  If you don’t have enough  

Hi today we have been learning about a compound, complex and simple sentence and what’s the meaning of it.

Like how a compound sentence has two simple sentences that are together with a conjunction, complex sentence that includes a dependent clause.  It consists of one cause that makes sense and one that does not and a simple sentence is one noun and one verb. It has one main idea it’ s the complete thought. then we made a side about them. here is the link to my side about the difference between complex, compound and simple.

Hi today we have been learning bout human rights in protests , I chose Martin king and Dame Whine Cooper then made a poster about them.

The first person i wrote about was Dame Whine cooper,  Whina Cooper was a Moari activist in New Zealand. She fought for the maori to keep across to their land as well as for equal access to vital services, such as healthcare, housing and education.  For her dedication to the protection of the Maori and their land, Cooper was often called the mother of the Nation. And was born in te kara, northern hokianga on December 9th, 1895 and died on March 26th 1994 then was buried in the Nahareta cemetery beneath her beloved Panguru mountain.  

The second person i wrote about was Martin king, Martin king was known for protesting for his masterful oratorical skills by his most memorably in his “ I have a dream” and earned him the Nobel  Peace Prize in 1964. And was born on 15 January 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, United states and Assassinated 4 April 1968. Lorraine Motel,Memphis, Tennessee, United states.   

The third person I also wrote was Mahatma Gandhi, Mahatma was born in 2th October 1869 and also Assassinated in 30th January 1948 and was known for as a Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world who was married at 13 and had 4 sons but all of them died.

As I learnt about what they did before they died and think how much change because of them.

Here are the two links of my work.  good bye 🙂

Talofa lava We have been learning some basic samoan language and put it on Google drawings. Here is a link to it 🙂 tofa

Hi, today we have been doing an experiment with water and skittles.

Before we started we wrote our questions about the experiment I wrote: Of how Skittles were made and when they made the Skittles?. Then I wrote two hypotheses that would happen to the skittles I wrote: How I think when the skittles hit the cold water it will do nothing and the hot water will work by the heat making it melt. In my kaupapa matua book then we walked into a room where on the table there were two plates of hot water and cold water.The Method we use is to pour the cold water first then the hot water and wait to see what happens. The cold water melted the Skittles faster then the hot water making it swill like a lollipop. Then we go back to our table and

Write if our hypothesis was right or wrong. Then I started to write my conclusion about how I was wrong about my Hypotheses. I thought that the hot water would melt faster than the cold water.

Hi, Yesterday we had some guy from Get wise named Jeff teach us to use our money spend wisely and how if you spend now there will be none later.  Get Wise is a financial literacy program for students who are sponsored by ASB.

He told us about how good we are with money by doing would you rather. He told us how Sending influences use ads, social, friends, marketing, family and others of how you use your money for. And he also taught the three things that we can’t buy weird not useful things like  stop and think, research the protect and check your credit card. Then  after that he went to the ground of three or four and played.

A game about us using our money wisely and choosing the cheapest one for our trip to another planet? then the next day  to be groups of four or three and named our team name and we chose tickle toes. We played a beach game about how we can use our money wisely and give us a few minutes to stop and think. And learned about how to be on a budget and played a beach game in teams and worked out what we should do with 18,00$.

and spend the exact amount or less and another one from how fun we had. Then we have and think what should we spend it on. if you were on a beach for the holidays what should you do?. And then after the game Jeff told us our score and me and my friends won and also another team had the same score as us as well and they think we copied them (even though we didn’t!).

I enjoyed how I learnt that I use and save money wisely and use it for what I want and how to use money if I’m on a budget or not. Here are two pic of us after we finish on Get Wise

Hi, Today we started our action station and mine was badminton.

we had to go in the hall with Shavelle, Eva and luka on our way to the hall We saw other kids there and matua matt. He explained about barminants then we set up the net and grabbed our racket and a shuttlecock . From the bag and played 5 minutes of badminton each then switched for the others to play as well and kinda most of the time I kept missing the shuttlecock. Then when it was over and it was breaktime I honestly thought that it was fun even with my friends and I want to do it more than once. But it’s sometimes hard if you have long pants and your arm hurts by the racket.

And it might take some time to get better and better at badminton.  but yeah it was fun 🙂

On Friday afternoons, we do Action Stations. This term, I chose to make Dragon Eyes.

First, we read some descriptions of dragons and identified their characteristics.

Then we completed a planning sheet, considering what we wanted our dragon to be like. We thought about personality, color and features.

I decided I wanted my dragon to have a gentle smile, massive wings, Intelligence, hides in shadows, Dark purple eyes, very graceful, dark colored skin, very fast. For my characteristics. 

After, we used the clay. First I rolled it into a ball and made it into a pancake. Then Made the outside shape of the dragon’s eye,made the second half of my dragon’s eye and put my dragon eye in and put the figures in my dragon’s eye. 

Finally, we painted them. Into a dark and light purple shade color for my dragon eye.  

here’s a pic of how we made our dragon eyes.

Kia ora This week we have been learning about how smoking can affect your heart.

Over time fatty deposits (plaque) can build up inside the coronary arteries. this can reduce them. How from blood to the heart to the heart and increases. The risk of a heart attack smoking speeds up the clogging and narrowing of coronary arteries. and how much you had to buy a pack of cigarettes for about $40.50.How you keep buying it you’ll waste about $486 in a year.

This week we have been learning about peer pressure and what it is.

Peer pressure can be negative or positive like how someone can. Be forcing their friend or family member to do something they don’t want to do or not allow them to do. Here is an example of a negative peer pressure: your friend makes you date some guy you haven’t known and is four years older than you and tells you to do it so you can be a “good friend”.  

and here is a positive example: one of your siblings broke something that is mum’s favorite and she tried to hide it but you told them to tell her.  thanks for reading my blog post
