Future Planning

 Concepts:

What is your understanding of Career?

My understanding of career is quite simple, there are many words that come to mind, your career is your education, you could have the career of owning the biggest business and company, to having a job with the smallest pay but its a career. there are many kids that have already started their future planning for their career. My understanding of career comes in many different planning, your career can be your occupation having your own business gives the opportunity for others to have a career which makes you money and your 

What is your understanding of Kotahitanga?

my understanding of kotahitanga is bringing people together as one, you can see kotahitanga in basically anything, your sports, kapa haka, and more. Kotahitanga is seen in your whanau churches and even in your company kotahitanga is a wonderful thing to have in were you are so you not only work together you get more work done faster i use kotahitanga in my kapa haka group because we work together to have the best show.

What is your understanding od rangatiratanga?

Rangatiratanga is leadership ownership, being a rangatira makes others go to you for help or anything they will also depend on you also that will show leadership and will help you even pursue your dream career.

How do the concepts relate to the topic?

These three concepts in my opinion relate to the topic because our work was about your career as we had mahi that were asking to talk about your career learn and talk the others relate to the topic because in a career you need kotahitanga and rangatiratanga.

What have you learnt during this topic?

I have learnt that your career is important to your future and that it is best to have a future plaen ready and finish waiting for your future.

Title: Nga kawenata 

In Social we looked into two different declarations one was human rights and the other one was the treaty, a couple of things to explain human rights is that there are 30 articles and new zealand is apart of the human rights declaration, my understanding also to the treaty of waitangi is that the pakeha wrote a treaty for our tupuna and they signed on the 6th of february 1840.

We also looked into some similarities and differences between the both declaration one similarity was they both talk about human rights and a difference is the different amount of articles are in both declarations.

We also looked into the impact of the declarations for the people and for Aotearoa.

My overall opinion on these declarations is that there are so many ways that the human rights and the treaty of waitangi have so many similarities and so many differences at the same time.

Title: Hikoi - The Land March 

In social studies we looked into the NZ land march that whina cooper led in 1975.

I learned that she walked from Cape Reinga all the way down to Wellington, and she did it for the land, the saying that she used was not one more acre of Maori land to be sold. Everyone that participated in the land march had to sacrifice losing their jobs to walk and as they walked more and more people joined their march.

They had two taonga and they were the memorial of rights and the pouwhenua

They had one song that they sang and it was all about the roopu matakite.

My overall thought about the land march is that it was a hard thing to do and if they didnt do the march all of our land could have been stolen from other people.

Title - Human Rights Images

In SST our kaupapa was about human rights, we had to choose 5 images and research the story behind them and tell how they relate to the human, the images that I chose where black lives matter, the treaty of waitangi, World War 2, World War 1 and stopping the vaccine mandates, i chose these five images because they all had an understanding of the human rights.

The first one was  Black lives matter was all about what was/is happening to people because of their skin tone, it began in July 2013. The second slide is about the treaty that was made for peace between Maori and british. The Third slide is about World War 2 and it was about how millions of people sacrificed their lives to save their people and their country. The fourth slide is similar but it was World War 1. Our people died for our rights of being maori. The Last one Slide 5 Is stopping the vaccine mandates it was/is a protest about the vaccine that was aimed at The Prime Minister - Jacina Adern.

Title - Nga kupu matua

In SST we did an assessment about nga kupu matua, there were three kupu matua that we had to talk about and they where kotahitanga, whakawhanaungatanga and whakapapa, we had to explain what our understanding of each word was, so for my understanding i gave examples on what each word ment, then the second part of the kupu matua was to give and example on how the kupu relates to one kaupapa from this term, then the second last thing was to give an example on how the kupu relates to an outside kaupapa, the last thing is to make a word art that is about each kaupapa.

This kaupapa was really easy to work on and learn about the kaupapa and how it relates to each kaupapa and outside kaupapa as well

Title - Leadership speech 

In SST we are doing speeches that tells others what we think a leader is or how we see a leader, for an example of someone in this school that is a great leader is Jacque, Jacque has all the things that a leader has, because she is a good role model, respectful humble and more. 

Being a leader is not just about being a good role model and being respectful its having good communication skills, confident in everything, good grades, and attending school, If i were to talk about how i show leadership, to me i could be a great leader because i'm not just about myself i enjoy helping others communicating interacting and showing up to school, so in my opinion i would be a really great leader.

Title: NZ Leader 

In SST we researched a NZ leader. I chose Whina Cooper to research because I just admire her for all that she did for her up and coming generation.

We had to research about the person that we chose, and i found out that Whina isn't her real name, her real name is Hohepin (Josephine) Te Wake, her dad was also a leader, Whina cooper led the maori land march from the top of nz all the way down to wellington.

Whina founded and became first president of a Panguru branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union.

I would love to be as powerful as Whina Cooper was, because she showed for me that age is just a number.

Tittle: Career 

In Social Studies we started of with choosing three career options and there where questions that we had to research and answer about each of the careers on the first google doc which were the options there was a link that took us to the careers NZ page, and all you had to do was search your career and take any of the answers that you needed for each of your three careers.

The second google doc was the career choice and you had to choose your top career and there were more questions that came with it also, the questions were like What are you going to do in preparation to pursue this job, Why is this job your top choice, Who will support you in gaining this job, When will all this take place, Where will you go to study or qualify for this job and How are you going to make it happen all of these questions were quit easy to answer because i already knew about most of the things about my dream job because of the previous doc that i had completed.

Tittle: Interview prep

On this google doc we had to answer the bullet points like we were actually doing a interview, on the google docs we had to talk about who we are, interests and hobbies work experiences, this interview preparation felt kind of real, because it felt like i was applying for an actual job, these interview preps where really fun to fill out because as i said before it felt legit and real and i really enjoyed it.

Social Science Tikanga a iwi

In social studies this term our mahi was concentrated on leadership and government. we had a kaupapa about the systems of government here we were given a book lit to work on, the book lit was focused on the main two events, the book lit told us all about how it was in the olden days for the government and people, it was also about who the leaders were, what types of leaders there were.

I learnt so much about the government and leadership, because of all the information that was given to us, it was a real enjoyable mahi to do because i was learning about the past, and my mind was open to learn as much as i did.

I am looking forward for our new topic for next term, and i am hoping that it will be as enjoying as how this terms one was.

Being Globally Minded

Being globally minded

Write your understanding of the key concepts for this topic:

Economy is the way that people use the money carefully, the way that services can be sold in other countries around the world. An example for the economy is the stock master system. I know four different types of economies like the pure market economy, the pure command economy, the traditional economy and the mixed economy. The economy is a large set of the interrelated production and consumption activities that aid in determining how scarce resources are located.

Trade is a basic concept of buying and selling of goods and services which have been paid by the buyer or the seller or the exchange of goods and services between parties. Trade is a way you can make a living or the act of exchanging another example for trade would be like the tea trade where tea is imported by china and purchased in the U.S, trade is kind of like when you make one thing made out of so many things from other countries around the world 

Globalisation is a type of interaction with people, companies, and the governments worldwide. Globalisation is a process by which people  move simply across the borders. Some examples of globalisation are the food industries, banking industries, and technological growth on a worldwide scale. Globalisation isn't only just an exchange of goods but can also be an exchange of ideas between others. The more technology, and the more transportation improves.

This term in social studies 

i researched about meat and i found out that it was made over 2.6 million years ago and that there are a lot of trading companies from different countries and the countries are China, Australia, United States, Japan and Korea.

this subject has been really interesting to learn about just because of the researching part because sometimes i would have to type up different ways to get the one answer.

being globally minded was a real good thing to learn about and i really enjoyed it.

Migration end of unit blog

 Kia ora this blog topic that i am blogging about is migration, this is the topic we have been doing for this term. My understanding of migration is the way that people leave and what changes and how it changes. Migration is when people move to other places. My understanding of place is the different types of nationalities and their different languages that they might have. My understanding of change is how it would be different when you are in a different country that you pick up on and your ways of the past are not the same as now.

In the things that we do with the river bend we have to find out what changes there are from moving from one place to another and if it's a good or bad thing.

Well not everyone stays or wants to stay in the same old place, but there are good reasons like myself. I wasn't born in New Zealand. I was born and raised in Australia for six years but we left and came into a better environment to grow up in. This topic was challenging in my learning because I would get confused or think twice to make sure that the way that they migrated was the way it was in the story.

I think that the way that it supported me in my learning was that part of learning how to walk through the way of migration and how different it is for some to others.

I think that out of the overall topic it was amazing to find out about Kupe the naming of Aotearoa the migration within my whanau and the riverbend, my own push and pull really helped me understand how migration goes.

the balaclava story

This word art is about a story we read and the name is The Balaclava Story, a balaclava is this type of mask that goes over your face. This story is about this boy that doesn't have a balaclava and he got left out. One time he went to the restroom and he saw a balaclava, without thinking about it he took it.  As soon as he gets out of the restroom he thinks he put it in his jacket but he didn't know he put it in the pocket of the owner.  On his way home he runs so none of his friends would know that he took the balaclava. When he got home he started to think of what could happen if they knew he took the balaclava.  The next day comes and he is very scared that he might get caught for taking a balaclava, but when they didn't talk about it he asks Norbet the one owns it "Did you lose your balaclava?" he said "Yes, but then the one who took it put it in my jacket."
