The real game

 The real game was a activity that my class had to fill out that was filled of even more activitys within in the book itself. The first activity we had to do was connection words to the explanations.

There were many words that all kinda were related to the same thing. So for example if the word was chair and the sentence was something that you sit on during class, you would draw a line from the word to the sentence and that was how you completed the activity.

Another activity that was easy ish was the true or false activity. The true or false activty had many statements that were in a way sexist. So for example woman do more of the house work then men, you would then choose true or flase. This activity was kinda eye opening in a way because of what the standards for women were a long time ago and now a days unfortunatley that is still a thing.

Future planning

Future planning 

What is my understanding of career - My understanding of career is pursuing a path or a job seriously because it is something that you love and want to do for the rest of your life. A career is something that your passionate about and want to do for as long as possible.

What is my understanding of kotahitanga - Kotahitanga is a variety of people working together as a group to complete a task. being a team doesnt mean you have to have 10 people in one group but can more be 2 people as well who have  the same goal and can both benifit from working together.

What is my understanding of rangatiratanga - leadership. To me rangatiratanga is being a leader wether thats fir a group of people like a kapa haka group or being a leader for yourself and making the descions that will be right.

How do the concepts relate to our topic -These conepts all relate to our topic because you need all these things to  be come an entrupernuer or just someone working in a buisness

Write about what I have learnt during this topic - I have learnt alot like how hard it is to make a logo and also how you can change things in whatever industry you wish to work in. there are already alot of products that are out there so finding something different and unique can be a challenge.

Goverment reflection

 Goverment. This term we focused on the topic goverment. Goverment in black in white is a group of people who decided the laws and make many descions to determine what their community will be like. 

The goverment is determined by a process where the community will vote for a party and a mp in other words somone who will represent your community in goverment. something i have learnt that i really like is how if one party has less votes but gets an electorate vote then they get a seat in goverment and it vice versa if a party has more votes but doesnt get an elecorate vote then they dont get a seat. 

In the book we read it showed a lot of evidence with these facts and a lot of pictures to help you understand what happens and what it looks like. Not so long ago women were not allowed and now they can but there are still some regulations to who can be on the goverment and who cant for example,

• Isnt or hasnt been in jail 
• Over 18

i have learnt alot of things about goverment and this is only some of what i have learnt. There was so much i never knew before and now i know which will be very helpful when i am at the age i can vote and choose someone who will do whats right for everyone and not just them.

Being globably minded

 

Economy - economy is a system of marketing and trading valued goods. Economy  can also be used to help people in need. Economy is why us ( people with jobs ) have to pay taxes. 

Trade - My understanding of trading is making decisions based on what the other person brings to the table. Making a trade will not only benefit you but the other person as well because if they trade something of the same value it will then benefit you and the other person. 

Globalisation - From what i have learnt in social studies globalisation is a product that is known and has been shared around the world. For example pencils , pencils are made from different materials that come from different places in the world. Pencils are also in every single country in the world which is why it is a global product.

What we have been learning is what economy , Trade and globalisation are. They are all related to one topic called globalisation. One of the brands that I did was NZAS. NZAS is also known as the new zealand aluminum smelters make the nz export aluminium. This product was made in 1971 and is located in tiwai in the south island. This company makes aluminum and aluminum is great for storing food and keeping the hot air in if the food is freshly cooked like chicken for example but allumion is 100 percent not edible.

9T English

 English with whaea Annette has been a roller coaster. we have had a lot of ups and downs this year but I want to focus on what whaea Annette has taught us through out the year. Something that whaea Annette has taught is confidence. Confidence is something a lot of people struggle with. The way whaea Annette has taught us to be confident is how she made us write a speech and speak it in front of the class. That was kind of a ice breaker for the class as well because it made the class less scared to speak in front of each other. 

Creative writing was another topic that we have just finished recently. Creative was very helpful in terms of learning what adjectives , nouns , similes , metaphors , personifications and more things like those. not only did we learn what they were we also go to write some examples about some animals in the jungle using those types of words. For example we would use an adjective to describe a noun in our sentences or we would use nouns in  the sentence an example of a noun is a thing so like a table , chair , person and just things in general , an example of a adjective is like the big chair , a blue pen or just something that describes the noun.

Film study was a pretty fun and easy assignment all we had to do was watch a movie and write about it. I personally like it because the movie was actually really funny and I like writing when you can describe things. Film study was also a test as well because we got a mark on it. somethin that was cool about it was that we got to write down our ideas first and then write from there.

Novel was something that we did for a while. Novel study was when we read this pretty cool book called see ya Simon. after each chapter we would answer these questions or we would do a fun activity like create a board game or we would create our own ideas for a wheel chair. There was quite a few chapters so it did take quite a while although there was a lot to do the book was pretty good and interesting but it did have a sad ending  

 

The first thing that we ever did in English were these slides call all about me. This topic was literally what the name says. what we did for this topic was we answered a lot of questions like what are we looking for , or we would put family photos or we would write something that we would be looking forward to for this year.

after all pf these topics i would just like to say that i have had a lot of fun in English this year with whaea Annette

My word art of the words that stood out from our topics. <3

Creative writting jungle story

 

Mowgli, a born jungle man, and Blue, the self-less bear, take a journey to find the human a safe place to go after being in danger from a tiger caught in the past. The vines and trees in the background show that they are still at the holts of the jungle. The facal expressions show the determination and worry at what ever they are soon to face or have already come in the presence of. The trust Mowgli and Blue have for each other must be through the roofs if they show each other if they go through the journey together.

Mowgli is the little boy, born a man raised a wolf. The vines that are rapped around the long old looking branches look like a snake rapping around its prey. The bright green leaves that are all bunched up look like they are coming of age and are getting ready to fall of so new ones can grow. The worried expression on Mowgli and Blues face looks like they have seen something they did not want to see.

Holiday recap

 In these holidays there wasnt alot i did because my mum still had to work so I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything but there were a few things I would like to tell you about. My holidays started off with me staying at my aunt's house because every second week my little cousin who is 10 came over and stayed with her dad and my aunty. Everytime she is over she likes to hang out with me because we are kind of close in age. I personally like to hang out with her because she always has heaps of energy and most times says the most random things which most of the time is so funny. So for the first 2 days of the holidays I stayed at my aunt's house with my cousins there as well, which I like because at my house I'm the only kid so it's easy to have people to see. Although I must have eaten something or caught the flu because the next day I went home and got so sick I started to throw up a lot and couldn eat anything because everytime i did I would always just throw it up so that sucked. I also couldn't sleep because I just felt very yucky and I was scared that I was going to throw up in my bed.

Finally the next day had come but I was not any better. I was lightheaded and I did not eat the whole day. The only thing I did was sleep and sleep and sleep. Once the days of me being very sick had passed we had to prepare for tiares birthdays party so we had to go to the rsa to decorate and get my sister ready who is 11 months old but still looks like she's 6 months. The night of tiare's party was very scary and exciting because once all the kids had left all the adults started to party as they do but around 1am this crazy lady showed up to the party and started to swear at everyone and honestly just ruin the night for everyone. Tiare had gone to welcome a guest that had showed up uninvited and the lady must have gotten triggered because she then hooked tiare in the jaw with a punch and then everyone was very worried so my older sister jada got really angry and actually started to try and fight the lady because she just ruined his night so it too three people to hold jada back before the lady had finally left and jada calmed down. Everyone went back to have a party when ofcourse something bad had to happen and it was crazy. a man had shown it to the rsa with a gun and shot at us at times which was absolutely crazy and everyone didn't really know what bahoen cause they were all very drunk. But after all the crazies had been arrested my nan and aunty had to be interviewed at the police station so the cops knew what had happened. Luckily no one got shot by the gun but unfortunately tiara dad got punched by the lady. They did end up arresting the lady as soon anstey got there and about an hour later the man ended up being found by the cops after running away as soon as he shot the gun. They found him at the copthorne but he didn't have a gun with him.

Now we start on Monday, the second week of the holidays. On the second week of the holidays my dad had picked me up to go to his house for the week and there wasnt much that i did there but there were a few things that i did with my dad's side of the family. For example every single day I went to visit my pop and check up on him. I always like to see him because he likes to think he's very funny but he is not . Something I like about going to see my grandparents is that they always spoil me with things. Like my nan would always spoil me with food and presents or just whatever i wanted. So for the week we had visited him. Unfortunately I did not get to see my horse because the people whose horses are in the same paddock had to take the horses to another paddock to do some work on the other one. The one my horse was originally on a ton load of gorse growing which was very in convenient because you did not get to use the whole paddock that was there. So my horse was away with his horsey friends, probably living the life and getting very spoiled by my dad's cousin because she really loves him.

The next few days there was not a lot to do because of the rain. So we went to my aunt's house who basically raised me throughout my whole life of being a baby. We like to joke around and say that she kidnapped me even though she didn't. She would always just come to my mums house and take me to hers for a while to give my mum a break. So I really love spending time with her because she is really a mum to me and I grew up with her looking after me. I was so sad when she moved to aussie and i couldn't see her alot anymore so i was over the moon when i found out that she was moving back to new zealand to live for a long time. Another part of my holiday that i really enjoyed was making more friendships with people that i haven't talked to before so i really liked that bit cause i made some really cool friendships with a few people. The worst part about my holidays was the second week because i had to look after my little brother who is the worst because he always tries to be right and sometimes it just gets really annoying because he is around 8 now so its gets really annoying and whenever i try and be alone he just barges into my room and starts to mess things up in the room so that gets very annoying but apart from that my holiday was pretty great.
