End Of Term Unit (Migration)

In social studies this term we have been learning about migration. Migration is when you move from one place to another, there are many types of migration like internal migration. This is when you move within your country, external migration is when you move to another country. This is my understanding of migration. My understanding of a place is a particular point  in a location. Change is when you make something or someone different or new, in a good or bad way. All these concepts all relate because these are all part of migrating. You have to move to a place, you have to change to feel at home or just because it's another home. Refugees are one similar factor as well as the maoris moving to New Zealand. I found this topic challenging because we had to write blogs and big paragraphs that were confusing and challenging. The activities we have been doing have supported me a lot with my learning like the refugee simulator game we played and all the other things I have blog posted about this year. Learning about migration has really helped me and I can't wait till I get older. 

 

See Ya Simon Scratch

In English this term our whole class had to read a book called see ya Simon. we had questions and activity's to do after every chapter, after we read the whole book we had to chose a event that happened and turn it into a scratch. my friend and I chose to do the first event that happened where Simon played soccer. Here is my scratch

CYB Week7

 In English we just finished an assignment for a book called See Ya Simon. For the assignment we had to write a review for the book See Ya Simon. I think I did okay in the assignment.

In Maths we just finished a test for decimal place value. There was a lot of tricky and hard questions, this test was a bit difficult.

In Science we are learning about Waves and Energy. I have learnt a lot more new things in Science like Energy (Light energy, chemical energy, Elastic energy etc). 

In P.E we are just learning how to play badminton and the foot work to play this game, Last week we finished our fitness rotation where we did a lot of running, weights and exercises.

In ESM we are planting a lot of plants and trees around our school.

In Social Studies we are learning about migration and refugees.  

Refugee Simulator

 This term in social studies we are learning about migration, yesterday we played a game, The game was about being a refugee. We got into groups of 4-6, when we got into our groups our teacher gave us situations that people actually go through. I learnt that it's very hard to be a refugee. This game reminded me of among us, In among us there is an impostor and everyone else has to run away. In the game refugee simulator they have to pack their bags and run away and move to another place.This game was really cool.

Moving To Another Country

 In social studies we are learning about other countries and what it would be like if we did move to another country. My friends and I chose china. I have learnt that the population in china is 1.398 billion. This topic is like our last about where our tupana migrated from. It helps learning about other countries because you can learn about new things and you might like to move there in the future. My overall view on this topic is it was very helpful just in case I might like to move there in the future.

Migrations

Kia ora bloggers, in social studies this week we have been learning about migration. 

Whaea gave us a task to learn about our ancestors and where they migrated from. I

have learnt that one of my great grandparents used to be an engineer in the 1900s.

This week's work has been really interesting and fun. This work helps me learn about myself

and where I come from. I have found this week and last week's work really helpful because

I have learnt a lot more about my family.

What Really Happened

 In social studies last term we had to watch episodes about what really happened during the signing of the treaty. There were 7 parts we had to go through. I thought it was cool how the British gave Maori blankets and tobacco. One thing I thought was thoughtful was how William hobson said the comment ‘he nga iwi tahi tatou’ (we are all one people) It was really fun learning about what really happened during the signing of the treaty we learnt a lot about how it was back in the days. We also learnt about what they wore  and put up with during the 1800. What do you know about the signing of the treaty?
