2020- Going to College with the Knowledge

Kia ora this is a Video showcasing of how I travelled through time and faced many challenges in my life at school, But then it gets better when people encouraged me to believe that anything is possible even going to camp and being afraid of heights was a challenge that I faced, but I never stopped  giving up in the end it all turned out to be successful. I didn't need a emergency phone or a fire extinguisher all I needed was faith and motivation. So this short video clip explains how I'm going from level 50 to 100 In college my goal is to join as many sports is possible getting involved in outside or indoor activities is great. My proudest achievement from 2012-2019 is be able to have the confidence and to be able to collaborate with others during learning time. In the school holidays I will be blogging and commenting on peoples blogs I will work hard and stay committed during the festive season and build my way till the time starts for me to attend (Tamaki College).

Day 5: Activity 1,Science, Technology, Invention

5 rules when sharing personal online information

1. When giving personal information about you or your family, Make sure that whoever you are talking or (Chatting to) You've atleast video chatted or know the person very well.

2. Chatting to a person that you haven't even met before or is trying to hide away their identity from you can cause a major problem and could affect the people around you, Including your family). 

3. (Sharing your address or Pictures) Do you have a friend or family member who you know has been sharing images and addresses to someone they haven't even met before. The best thing to do is, (If your in that kind of situation then tell someone you know or atleast image search or make a plan to meet up, (If they live in your area or suburb). 

4. (Copyrighting or Theft) You probably already know about this but lets just go through the simple steps to why copyrighting is illegal. Have you ever experienced online theft in your lifetime. If you haven't lets do a recap about how copyrights.NZ helps to protect online information. If this happens to you then go onto Net Safe to keep your account safe or block your account if you have instagram, Snapchat, Facebook or Twitter. 

5. Last but not least (Scams) Someone is asking you to send money to them around 3 to $6,000 thats half of your life savings gone. It is not a good Idea to mail money to them if you don't know them that well. They might be trying to fake you by saying eg: ( I need $money for my family). If I were you I would disagree and block them on social media or online gaming). That way it would be safer. 

This is a short explanation of Cybersmart and online information.

Activity 3: The Columbian Exchange, Summer Learning Journey

A Person who has had a positive impact on my life is my aunty... Because ever since I was little I always used to travel and experience what life is like in the pacific. From the moment I left New Zealand to Rarotonga I didn't really know what flying in a plane was like so it made me very concerned that something was going to happen after watching all sorts of different movies that made 

a negative impact on my travels. But once I got on my aunty told me that being on a plane can be scary when its your first time, but then after an hour of calming down I started getting used to it. Now these days  I travel and explore New Zealand, Pacific Islands and parts of the world. She has gotten me involved in a lot of sports in which she has being paddling for along time. I started paddling at the age of 4 when I turned 5 I paddled for Tamaki then going on through the ages I paddled for Manukau/ aka Manu Midgets.  I competed against so may teams and even got to go to the worlds in Tahiti which excited me very much. This all happened because of my aunty, going to work everyday, attending programmes that have to do with schools and careers. I think that she is a great role model in our family because she is always kicking off an event for our family. 

This Task is my version of a person who has a positive impact on me, This tells a short text of how my Aunty... Debs made my life a dream. 

Activity 2: What... Mostly Proud of, Summer Learning Journey

For Activity 2 our task was to interview 3 friends or classmates about what they are mostly proud of. In this task I interviewed Mele, Marieta and Myself. I am very proud of my sister for finishing college and going onto university because she has worked so hard and has stayed committed to all her subjects including her favorite, Maths. 

Mele- " A big achievement that I am very proud of this year is being able to lead my school as Head Girl for 2019, because not only was I able to welcome visitors, present many times and take on responsibilities, but I believe that being chosen as Head Girl has given me the opportunity to embrace our school VALUES very well and represent our school confidently. Next year will become a new chapter and being that I have experienced what a leader is like, I am fulfilled and ready to become a ambassador at my new college. 

Marieta:" Me and my family are proud for myself. The reason why is because two weeks ago I got baptised. It was scary but I got through it. The next day out of 50 people I was chosen to read the word for the preacher. I was really shy but I am so happy that I accomplished this goal that has been waiting for me for about 3 years. "

Day 3: Activity 1- Environmental and Exploration

This Week we created a DLO that promotes The Water Project taking place in the sub saharan, Africa. We learnt that many families and children are not able to access clean water since it is contaminated with all sorts of bacteria and animal production. Our Task was to work as a group and define the achievement and the goal that the water project has in mind. What I found interesting about the water project going on in Africa, Is that some girls dropped out of school because of the problem. The People That I worked well with in my group were, Taheesha, Sakina and Miiana. We all worked collaboratively on this project. Before we started creating this DLO we wrote down notes in just partners of 2 before getting together and working in a group. I really enjoyed working on this project because it was based on helping to provide clean fresh water to people who don't have access to clean water or even taking a long journey accross droughts and hot deserts.

Activity 2: Equal pay for Equal work

Is It fair that Men get more paid then women, well I think this is just not right. Fiao'o Fa'amausili shares her story with the people of NZ, Speaking up for the rights on the behalf of her rugby team (Black Ferns), Why isn't the black ferns being paid a less amount of money, They play and represent the same sport and country. I just find this incredibly unfair because between the 2 comparisons is the government choosing between the genders, I think that the black ferns should get the same amount of payment as the All Blacks. I do not believe that women should not get payed less money because if the (BF) and The (AB) got payed the same amount of money it will be a Equal pay + Equal work.

Day 2: Activity 1- Speeding Bullet

Task: Come up with 4 new Similies that you could create

She is as fast as... (A timer counting down how many minutes and hours through the night and day.)

She is as tall as... (Mustang(Horse)

She is as Powerful... (Like a Jaguar running across the sahara deserts)

Today I completed Day 2's activity 1, This activity was based on the fastest women in the world (Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce) A Fact that I found out about her is that when she was in High School she competed well in the Jamaican school Athletics + She went on to winning the Jamaican School running Championships. I describe her as a Powerful, Proud and Motivated women because she has come so far from winning a School Championship, I find that so incredible she has taken the time and effort to take the oppitunity to follow her dreams and become the fastest women in the world.  

This Activity is Based on 4 similes to describe her, I chose to go simple and use some ideas from the site. 

Activity 3: BFG, Big Friendly Giant

Market Day Evaluation

On Friday Afternoon, LS2 sold  a range of 99 rainbow crayons, that were molded into different types of shapes. Instead of  just melting a single color of crayons. We melted color crayons that would go well together. We used the digital color wheel to help us find the colors opposite each other. For example, Green and Red. Some of our coloured crayons were melted in several colors from black, pink and white. We made different types of crayons, ones that will attract boys and  girls. When it came to market day our whole store sold out leaving us with total cost of $88.00 dollars. So was our Ideas viable, Yes, Because we caught customers attentions which helped us make a profit + We made our price cheap of just $1.00 dollar. Our Net profit was $96.00, the costs were $8.00 minice 96-8 gives us 88. We made an impressive amount of money + instead of just paying cash we exchanged tokens to buy the item.
