Outstanders

 Namaste Readers,

This term we have been learning about Outstanders:

We learned about...

• Protests - Parihaka, Women's suffrage, BLM, The great depression, ETC ...
• Anti - Bullying - Bystanders/Upstanders, You vs Me, Cards situations
• Netiquette - The language you use online, Informal vs Formal

My favourite subject from Outstanders was the Anti Bullying theme.

We learned about Bystanders and Upstanders.(You may already know)

Bystander - A bystander is someone who know/sees or watches bullies doing the wrong thing. Sometimes they would be cheering them on or see this event and not tell anyone. That is a bystander.

(Don't be a Bystander)

Upstander/Outstander - Is someone who stands up for what they know is right. They protect those who are bullied or when they have no power are not afraid to tell a teacher. (Please be a Upstander)

Some of the work we did was split into groups and get a card. The card had a situation on it with questions on how we would deal with these scenes. 

One of the questions was about if you saw someone being bullied. 

If you saw someone being bullied how would you deal with it? (Sorry it didn't exactly say this exactly but it's similar I don't have a great memory)

My answer was - I would beat the bully up. Just kidding... 

I would tell an adult or tell the bully to stop. I would be a up stander and do whats right.

What would you do?

Shaping up - Geometry

 Bonjour, 

Welcome to my blog

This term for Hurumanu 3 we have been doing shaping up (Geometry). 

We learned about...

• Lines/Angles
• Polygons (shapes)
• 2D/3D shapes
• Reflection/Rotation/Translation
• Parallel lines/ Line segment/ Point/ Intersecting lines
• Lines of symmetry
• Nets
• Scale/Maps/Compass/Direction
•   

         Some subjects that stood out to me is ...

Lines and angles. When we learned about lines and angles we found out about Parallel lines, Line segments, Point, Intersecting lines and lines of symmetry.

Glossary

Parallel lines - Parallel lines are two lines that keep going straight facing each other and never meeting. 

Line segments - A line with a dot at each end.

Point - Just a dot in the middle

Intersecting lines - Lines that cross each other like a plane.

Lines of symmetry

Lines when you fold it.

Work

Reflection/Rotation/Translation

We learned about reflection, Rotation and translation as well. Reflection is like when its the same on both sides. Rotation is when the centre stays still while the rest move and rotate. Translation is when the subject looks the same but can move.

Some of the work we did on reflection

Scale/Maps/Compass/Direction

We also learned about Scale/Maps/Compass and Direction. 

Compass for learning

What is Netiquette?

 Aloha Everybody,

What is Netiquette? (Read the title)

To me Netiquette is having good manners online.

For Hururmanu 1 (Outstanders) we have been learning about netiquette. We watched videos, researched for more information, looked on sites and got to learn more about it. Our teachers Miss Allen and Miss Bremner gave us a slide with activities and stuff to do. 

(Poster about Netiquette) 

Slide of activities and important info

What is Netiquette?

What is an example of how someone does not show Netiquette?

Has someone ever been rude to you online?

Adios,

I hope you learned and have your own understanding of etiquette because of me. Feel free to comment.

• 8x Skittles

• Beaker
• Paper towel

Instructions

1. Get your equipment

Describe what happened

The colour on the skittles in the petri dish slowly dissolved heading towards the middle colouring the water. The colours were separated which made it look like a pattern.

Why did the colour move the way it did?

Because of the shape of the skittle.When sugar is moved into water it heads towards the middle. The colour comes out of the skittle and slowly spread out.

Fish in a Tree

 Hola Everyone,

In hurumanu one (With AL Miss Allen's Class) we have been doing some reading activities. We got split into groups with AL and were given separate work for each group. My group is the book study. We read a book and then answer some questions and do some activities. The book I am currently reading is called "Fish in a Tree". Have you heard of it? It's a really nice book and I love reading it. I'm only up to chapter 16 but its so exciting.

The summary of the book

(The back cover) 

Here is the cover of the book'

Here is my work (

Chapters 1 - 8 

‘In trouble again’ - ‘Real trouble

Quote

“As long as you don’t have low expectations of yourself. You hear?” - Travis

Reading Comprehension

1) The card Ally gave to her teacher was a sympathy card. A sympathy card is something
you give to loved ones you lost. Ally’s message was misunderstood and people thought that
Ally gave Mrs hall that card to tell her you’re sorry she needs to leave us to go have some
dumb baby.

2) Ally tries to apologise to Mrs Hall but misses the chance to because her mind goes blank
from guilt. She might have also ran because she realised she had missed her bus. ?

3) Ally can’t read it herself so it makes her feel like its a gift in a glass box like it’s
always on display

4) I find writing difficult because I am not able to put my understanding and feelings into a piece
of writing. I find it easy to do maths and reading though.

5) Ally's mum misunderstood her daughter, thinking that she was just trying to be the
class clown; because Ally is always sent to the principal’s office, without knowing her daughter’s
difficulties with reading and writing. 

Take Your Pick! 2 - 3

Silver dollar day

A silver dollar day for me would probably be my birthday. We had a lot of food and could eat as much

as we wanted. Every birthday I would always ask my parents to take me to eat. I love eating.

Global Warming

 If for how long mankind has been on earth is put into one day. How long would that be?

3 Seconds

Mankind has been on earth for only a mere 3 seconds and look what we have done. Global warming, Deforestation, Pollution. We have wrecked the homes of creatures who have been here way before we have been here and caused many to go extinct and endangered. 

It is estimated that in 2050 humanity may overpopulate this country and cause every animal to lose it's home and natural habitat.

That's why for one day each year we have a day called Earth day. In wananga class we got to learn more about what humanity has done to earth and how we can solve our problems. We read a piece of writing and some activities of how we can restore our earth.

Here is my work

(Not really finished yet)
