Anti-Bullying Post - Pink Shirt day poster!

Last week on friday it was Pink Shirt day. Pink Shirt day is a day where we wear pink to stop bullying and to support the charity for mental health. Pink Shirt day started when 2 students stood up against a bully for mocking a new year 10 student for wearing a pink shirt in 2007 May 18th in Canada, Toronto. Our task on friday was to create an infographic about how we can work as a community and STOP BULLYING! I have listed the 3 things about the video we watched, that kindness is contagious and a question saying "How can we work together as a group to stop bullying?".  I think I could work on making sure to  finish the task on time as I just finished today when it was supposed to be finished on Friday 18th of May.

How does day and night happen?

Kia ora,

today I will be sharing with you guys today how I think day and night happens!

Over the past few weeks the KM syndicate working on explanation writing this term so we started off by talking about what we think how night and day happens and explaining it to the audience of how it happens.

-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

In conclusion,

Night and day is caused by the Earth’s rotation around the Sun while being spun around on its axis. It is also caused from the Moon orbiting the Earth while the Earth is orbiting the Sun which makes the Sun's light reflect onto the Moon; the Sun's reflection is also creating the Moon to switch to a different phase every now and then to give the darkness brightness in the night-sky.

I hope you understand a bit more of how day and night happens and that you have learnt something new.

Samoan Language Week - Samoan Churches

Next week is the Samoan language week; unfortunately the week that is Samoan language is the week that the KM syndicate will be going to camp. Since it is the same week as camp, last week we brainstormed things about Samoa and each student had to choose a topic about the Samoan culture to research about and we had to make a presentation to present to the classroom. My topic was about the Samoan Churches and I wrote about the history of there Christianity and clothes they wear to Church.

I would like to thank my classmate Demetrius for reminding me to make this blog post. I hope you enjoy and click the link to see Demetrius's blog about the Samoan food!

I know what you are thinking "Wow Grace's one is beautiful and very warm-hearted" well I know it is AMAZING but I still hope you enjoy my on for my Mom.

Here it is -

If you cannot read this post here is what I said;

"Happy mothers day mom,

I know life has been a roller coaster year after year driving us to netball games, school trips, trainings and more but you still managed to handle us. You are supportive but you show it in a way that I understand.

I am your youngest child, and I know it is hard being a mom of 3 kids but we still manage to make it work! I like how you tell us to clean up the mess even though majority of it is your mess. I like how you forced me to play netball which I now love.

You are worth more than anything because you protect me, feed me, put a roof over my head and always make sure I am positive even if the appocalpsye occurs.

I love you mom and I wish you a very happy mothers day!".

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and the comment of the day is...

"What is your favourite thing about your Mom?".

Technology - Phone stand design!

Bonjour viewers,

today for Technology we were re-designing our phone stand designs. Sadly today we didn't have our original teacher, Ms. Ferguson. for graphics because she had to do something (I don't know what exactly) so we had a lovey ex-teacher  from Tamaki College, her name was Ms Smallwood.  

Today we had to make a presentation about how we could improve on our first design we did in term 1. I thought that this task was really fun because I got to finish my design and write about it. Another thing I really enjoyed today was sitting next to new people and I got to .

Here is my Presentation -

Here are the 2 photo's of the phone stands I have created -

Reading with Ms. Aireen!

Yesterday while we were reading with Ms. Aireen she told us to get into groups of 5 out of 5, the people in my group were;

Cerenity, Lydia, Amon, Hevani and I.

During this lesson we had to pick a different topic and my topic was the day and night. So all the people in the day and night topic had to come together as a group and write in our own words what we learnt from that video.

Here is what I wrote:

"The Earth is spinning in its place but is on a Axis which makes it orbits around the sun. The Axis is a little tilted to give us seasons. If the Northern Hemisphere is close to the sun it is summer and for us it is winter for us but if it is opposite and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun then the Northern Hemisphere is winter.;in the middle is Autumn and Spring. If the Axis WASN’T tilted we would have the same season all long. The motion of the Sun is actually caused by the rotation of the Earth''.

Here is my groups work altogether!

🌙🌙Phases of the Moon!🌙🌙

Malo lelei everyone,

I feel I haven't been as active on my blogs so I thought today I would create a presentation about our new topic for the term "OUTER SPACE" and it is also called "Tuarangi".

We have been learning about the phases of the moon with Mrs. Fepuleai and Ms. Komor for Inquiry so that is why I created this presentation and cycle of the Moon phases. 

I hope you enjoy these to DLO I have created and please comment something you learnt during this presentation and what you think what I could improve on bye!
