Hello and welcome back to my blog this week and previous weeks me and my group had been writing a script and story board  about the bad effects of doping.  doping at the Olympics is something that athletes do to prevent themselves from losing and to make themselves win. Doping can be very dangerous and harmful to your mental and physical health. Doping means taking drugs that make you go faster than you actually are and not experience the same tiredness  that all of the other athletes  usually experience. Our imovie was a daily news type thing with me and my other two group members acting out all of the scenes.

Here is the link to the imovie. Enjoy.

Hello and welcome back to my blog today we had to fill in a Google docs and and answer the questions. for starters we had to pick an athlete out of three. My partner for this was Eden, we picked Jesse Owens to write about cause he is a well known track runner he also specialized in long jump.

Here are the questions to answer

• Why is it important we stand up for groups of people that have been unfairly treated? Because you think about how you would feel if you were treated unfairly or if you had been judged because of the color of your skin or because of what country you are from. 

• How have the Olympic Games helped and hindered athletes of color? they have helped by inviting  colored people from different countries to compete in big social events like the Olympics and events like that. How they  have hindered colored people is by doing unfair scoring in sport events and just in general they used to have different water fountains and bathrooms for colored people. 

• What is fairness and how can we promote it in sport? fairness is treating everyone the same and giving everyone the exact same chances as everyone else, having a good attitude towards everyone even if they don’t have the same colored skin.

Hello and welcome back to my blog this week. My group has been organizing random acts of kindness day.

This random act of kindness day is for Paiaka and Kaino. We have made a check list of things that the kids can do to be kind for the day like giving someone a compliment or holding open the door for someone and saying thank you and please. We will put the check lists in the class rooms and then the kids who want to do it come and get, each time they’ve done something they can go to a teacher and go and tell the teacher what they did and then the teacher can check it off for the kids once the kids have done all of them they can put them in a box and then we will come and see who got them all done and whoever finishes will get some stickers and the amount of stickers depend on how many they get ticked off. here’s  the link for the idea. link

Hello and welcome back to my blog, this week I have  been doing some learning that revolves around the Olympics.

We had to re-make the Olympic torch, mascot and the medals. The setting for all of those things were if the Olympic games were being held in New Zealand.  For the Olympic torch you had to use an AI generator to remake the torch I made mine silver with ferns all around the top of it, and to add on to that we had to use my maps and make a map of all the places that we would go and light the Olympic torch. Next was the mascot, because a Kiwi is a native bird to New Zealand of course I had to pick a stuffed Kiwi on The AI generator. And last but not least we had to make a medal mine was silver with a fern going around the side of it hanging on a green ribbon. The image is below.

Hello and welcome back to my blog this week for math  instead of doing statistics we got to create a visual holiday to a country and do all of the cost of everything. The country that I picked was The Netherlands. The reason why I picked the Netherlands was because my name is dutch and my mum had lived over there and I  know a lot about it.  I decided to do a luxury trip to the Netherlands. we had to pay for flights and transport around the city and pay for food and activities. the activities that I chose to do was go to Anne franks house and go to the van Gogh museum. I made a planning sheet an then I made a set of Google slides. Google slides  Google sheet

We also had our PBL presentations for our parents and me and my group did a coastal habitat there’s a photo down below.

This week we have been learning about Laudato Si. Laudato Si is a letter written from pope Francis to everybody about the problem with our environment. It tells us about the things that we do that harms the planet like getting rid of too many trees, wasting water, using cars and wasting food and other resources that some people don’t have available to  them. The climate change and other things that people do to effect the planet, effects people who are poor people who don’t  have as much money  as everyone else, things get more expensive and as things get more expensive people then can’t afford to buy food and other necessities that they need. I made two posters  about the problem of cutting down too many trees.
