Hello and welcome back to my blog,
last week we had to pick a Saint that was celebrated on all saints day and I picked Saint Sebastian. Saint Sebastian is the patron Saint of sport. Saint Sebastian was shot with four arrows after he died. You can also celebrate a saint even if they are not canonized.
All Souls day is a day where people celebrate loved ones that have passed away. Different countries have their own way of celebrating this time, in Italy they bring food and wine to the graveyard and leave the food for the dead to eat and drink.
This is my project that I did.
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
