Achieve - In my social study class, we studied about the light bulb which is a invention created by Thomas Edison and then was improved by Joseph Swan then more was improved by Hiram Maxim.This products is now being used by everyone across the globe and people are continuing to improve it even more like perhaps someone is making a light bulb that produces more light, perhaps someone is making the light bulb style even better or even someone is making it so that it doesn't need much energy.

Freedom Writer

Freedom Writers 

Monday 10th September 2018

I've learnt lots from watching freedom writers, for those who doesn't know or hasn't watched freedom writers, its a story in the US where these teenagers are living in the gang life and doesn't care for learning.It's a story where the teenagers that are in the gang life becomes friends with their teacher Ms Gruwell and creates a bond, that bond makes the teenagers change their way they act  and those that were in the gang life leaves like Marcus, he leaves the gang life and wants to live with his mom because he missed her.

After watching the movies, I've learnt not to join the gang life because when Eva Benitez gang shot sindy boyfriends, Eva went to court and told the judges that it was one of Eva gang member who killed Sindy boyfriend.After it was over, Eva was ambushed by her follow Gang members and wanted to kill her and I don't wanna die.


I've also learnt that no one is the same and everyone has their own opinion on others like how Eva said that she hated white people and Ms Gruwell was white, I'd think thats not something to say when she's trynna help these teenagers but their treating her like dirt. Never judge a book by its cover mate.

Social Studies

What are laws? They are rules in countries and communities that people live by and obey them.Those who don't follow these rules and break them, they shall be punished.

So why do we follow these rules? Some of these rules protect us and keep us safe like in some countries, buying any kind of gun or weapon you must be approved by and registered by the police, you'll also need a firearms license and without meeting all of these requirements, it will be impossibe to get your hand on a gun.The government are the one's who makes these rules and they make them to protect us but some rules aren't for us(Wheither your in USA, Russia, NZ etc) some government makes rules to limit the amount of outsiders into the countries.


Which Minister Would I Be?
If I could choose to be any minister in New Zealand for a day, I would be the minister of justice because I want to uphold the law and want to make New Zealand safer.My mom sister is the judge in the court room and from what I hear from her, her job is kinda cool but tough decision needs to be made, She needs to pick how long the man or female punishment will be and that could be tough like if they didn't do something too bad like stealing from shops then their punishment should be for a month but if they did something longer then it should be longer,It sounds easy but from what I hear its really hard.I would add death row into New Zealand because we only live once and death row will cut your life time immediately and with death row, no one would want to die so no one will do any bad thing ever again and that will make our country safer.

Microchipping Cats

Who's Involved In It? - The SPCA, The Morgan Foundation, Animal Welfare and Veterian Experts.

When will it happen? - They'll do it in 2050

Issue:

1) Microchipping

2) De-Sex

3) Only 1 cat per household

Stakeholders(Means a person with an interest or concern in something, especially a business.)

Strongly Disagree--------------------------------------------------Strongly Agree

I strongly agree for the microchipping part but when it comes to the 1 cat per household then I strongly disagree.

My perspective on this "Microchipping Cat Project" isn't bad because their not trying to kill the cats but more to help stop them from killing natures precious pets which are birds.Their going to try and make it compolsory to microchip your cat, De-Sex them and make it so your only allowed to have 1 cat in your household which I think isn't fair because if your a cat lover and you have lots of cats, then you have to get rid of them which I feel isn't right because what are you gonna have to do with your other cats if you have more than 1?
You'll have to give them away to a friend but what happens if your friend already have a cat then what are you supose to do, you'll have to try and sell them but what happen if no one would want one? You'll have to put it down which I think isn't good.But atleast this isn't gonna happen till the government agree with this and if it does, then we'll have to wait till 2050.

My 2nd perspective on this is thinking that this is a bad idea because sure, protecting the unique life of nature is important but think about the cats.De-Sexing and micrchipping them is good for keeping an eye on them but think about the pain they'll have to suffer and live through tho.They'll never be able to have babies and be a family and microchipping them would be painful.Imagine your the cat and your getting De-Sex and getting microchipped, I know that all this is to protect the unique animals of the nature but this is kinda wrong.

I value turtles because when they are small(Babies)they are cute, they walk slow which is kinda funny because the way they walk is like their on the moon but has gravity. Plus, their home is with them like literally, it's on their back so if someone or something tryna harm them, they can go into their homes and lock the predator out.They can also swim, saldy I can’t swim but that’s ok.

White ribbon day is about to rise above family voilence, At my school; Tamaki college, they did a presentation on what white ribbon is about and why it's important.Lots of young childrens grows up in violent family and then they become like or even more violent than their parents because they would've learnt it from their parents.

On Thursdays 29th of November, we did star mentoring activity day which is like an athletic day but I think a little bit different.My day was pretty alright with all the activity because all of them was fun and enjoyable.My favourite one would be the 3 man slingshot one where you had to use rop to get a oil can that had toxic waste then after you did the 3 shot slingshot.I was with Mayjah, Vuni and Cj(Cj only did it once then he left).I was SAVVY at team work for slingshot because I help

Business in the community

What does business mean? It's where a group of people runs a place and can trade things for other people.It's an organisation that produces goods and services for other people to buy and gain profit.

Why are business good for us? It's good for us because it provides job for people so they can earn money to support their family and are able to pay their bill.Not all business are the same, some business provides us with different things like some businesses provides food and water for us to survive, some sells petrol so our cars can work and much more.

Are businesses good for the local community? it depends, if the business is selling food and water then yes thats good but some business could try and scam you, if you don't know what scamming is, well its where you pay for something but its not in good use(that means its broken in the inside but looks good and can work on the out side).Same with drinks, you pay for a 500ml drink but they only give you 450ml but it looks like 500ml.

What challenges did your group face when making decision on the island?

We didn't really face any problems for making decisions, we just worked as a group and agreed with everyone.
All of us made the decision on who should be who.

Changes In Tokelau

Changes In Tokelau

Global Warming

I will be talking about global warming and how it's affecting the Tokelauans people.

With Global Warming, its affecting the Tokelau people really bad because the ice in antarctic will melt and this will rise the sea level, therefore the Tokelau people land is decreasing.Since the Tokelau peoples land is decreasing, they had to build a rock wall on their beach so their beach is disappearing because they need to make sure that the water doesn't flood the town.

Another problem is on how small tokelau is, With global warming melting the ice, the sea level will rise and maybe, just maybe, tokelau might not exist, the tokelau people are fighting Global warming so they can live on their precious island.Only problem is, how will they overcome this?

Give your personal point of view (do you think their trip was successful, if so why ? (explain)

Write your draft below - ( To be checked by teacher before you post your blog )

Made in Taiwan Oscar and Nathan Main purpose of their trip was to find out where their ancestor where thousands of years ago so they meet up with a man to do a DNA test to find who their ancestors where. After they set off on the takitimu waka to Mahia to meet up with Nathan’s mom and dad to show them who they were descendents of.Nathan’s Mom was from East Eurasia and America and his dad was a descendent of maui. Not long after they took off again to cook island and that was when they found out that the Takitimu first left cook island 700 years ago and when they were walking around they found the monument spot where it first took off then they go to the village and saw people listening to music i’ve never heard before, people dancing to it, and their languages was different, then they go into a mother’s home and started asking them question and after they go to church with Oscars Family and relatives Now their heading off to Samoa because Oscars DNA told them that he was from Samoa so it was a good idea to go.When they got to Samoa, another different kind of music was playing and sooner they went to the cemetery were Oscars dad died when Oscar was 3 years old and that was when he moved to NZ, so it's been 18 years since Oscar came to Samoa.Oscar went to his mom to open the DNA mail and it said, that his mother was a descendent of Ina which was in East Eurasia and his father was a descendent of South Eurasia in the Himalayas. They took off again to Vanuatu and honestly, it’s like their on an adventure like first they where in NZ then they travelled to Mahia then Rarotonga and after they went to Samoa and now they are in Vanuatu and if u look at a map They went around like a circle.And Vanuatu is where lapita pottery is made and can be found.After they went to a archaeologist dig were Oscar saw a real skeleton and got to hold a rock with pictures carved into it.But poor Nathan he was sick so he had to stay inside a house looking at the ceiling while Oscar got to look around Vanuatu. And their final destination is Taiwan were they meet a woman called Hina. They go with her to a museum where she showed them photos of indigenous people of Taiwan. Their language of Taiwanese isn’t too different to Polynesian. After they go to Hina's village and after talking with Hina’s people, they eat rats meat which looks disgusting.After they go see carved wood art.
