On the Dawning of Realisation

WALT: reflect on what article we read.

Today I have chosen to read an article from NZ Herald from the section opinion. The article 

I chose is about an elderly lady who just realised that she loves her husband. From this text I learnt that

even though relationships has their ups and downs we can still make it through together. I know that

I have learnt something because my parent's relationship wasn't as tight as it is now because in the past

they had many arguments but now they don't argue anymore and even though they still have their ups and downs they still stay together. Next time I would like to read an article about business so I can learn about business for when i'm older.

Team Building

WALT: Reflect on what we did for team building. 

On Monday the year 7&8's did team building outside on the field. We did some camp activities together before the year 7&8's were off to camp the next day. I like doing team building because you get to communicate with others and learn more about the others around you. My favorite part of team building was when did the lid spinning because it was challenging and I found it hard but we all still tried even if our group didn't win. Next time I need to do better in helping my team mates.

E.O.T.C WEEK

WALT: Reflect on what we did for E.O.T.C Week.

This is my presentation that I worked on with my buddy Irys. The whole of last week the year 4 5 & 6 had E.O.T.C while the year 7&8's were at camp. Although some year 7&8's didn't go so they stayed behind and went E.O.T.C as well only if they payed. E.O.T.C stands for Education Outside The Classroom. E.O.T.C is extremely fun and it's a good time to get to know others and getting new friends and knowing more about the people around you. My favorite part of E.O.T.C was when we watched the movie Secret Life Of Pets. It's my favorite part of E.O.T.C because I get to spend more time with my friends and because I was really looking forward to watching Secret Life Of Pets. In most parts of the movie I laughed because Snowball is so cute and funny because he looks so cute and then turns angry. Snowball is my favorite character because he's cute, funny, intelligent in his own ways, confident and many more reasons why. I chose to work on a presentation because it's much easier for me to work on and because on each slide me and Irys put in what we did each day on different slides for each day.

Scientists dive inside 'weird looking' Mars funnel for the first time

WALT: Reflect on the article we read for SSR.

Today for SSR I chose a article from the section Technology. I worked on this task together
with my buddy Irys. We picked this article because

We found it interesting and also because it's about the world and what's been happening on Mars. 

The thing I found challenging during my research about this article was trying to find out

how these things happen in the universe. I learnt new things about Dr. Levy during reading this text.

Next time I would like to read a article that talks more about the world.

Here is the link to the article: LINK

Thank you for reading please leave a comment on what I need to work on and what I have achieved or done well on!

Thanksgiving

WALT: Choose a November celebration to reflect on as part of our inquiry.

Today the November celebration I chose was Thanksgiving. I worked on this task
with my buddy Irys. We chose Thanksgiving

because we already know many things about Thanksgiving and we also

chose this celebration because it's our favorite November celebration

besides Guy Fawkes. Thanksgiving is a time of the year when families gather together

at one relatives house and gives thanks to others. Thanksgiving is a expression of gratitude but 

especially to God.  In this task I found nothing challenging because I already know many things about Thanksgiving. The traditional food for Thanksgiving is Turkey. I like Thanksgiving because my family in America celebrates it and that's why I know many things about Thanksgiving.

Thank you for reading please comment on what I need to work on and what I have achieved.

Is Sport Sexist?

Is Sport Sexist?

In rugby the captain of the All Blacks team is Kieran Reed. Kieran Reed is 31 years old and is captain of the All Blacks. The All Blacks team is New Zealand’s National rugby union team. The captain of the Black Ferns is Fiao'o Fa'amausili. She is now a police officer in Auckland.

The most popular sport in my family would be rugby, touch & netball. Rugby is popular in my family because my dad played rugby throughout his whole teenage years and now he does not play rugby but my brother plays rugby now and is gonna carry on my dad’s rugby and touch journey. My mum was famous for playing netball in Tonga but has now retired from netball ever since she moved to New Zealand. We watch these sports on television also and we also play online games about these sports.

Sexism means when someone is discriminating someone typically against women on the basis of sex. I am not really aware of sexism in sports because i’m not really sure if sexism is in every sport. Mostly men's sport are on television than the women's sports are because some people think that men’s sport are more entertaining than the women’s sports are. I think that it’s just not fair because only the women’s netball games come on television either then women’s rugby and women’s other sports. I think that women’s sport should be on t.v for people to watch and to be entertained by women’s sport.

I don’t think that there are any sports that are sexist to men only to women because most sports that men play aren’t really sexist.

There are many sports in the world but some sports are sexist to women. Football is sexist towards females because many females have been sexually harassed in football. In netball is says that netball must be the most sexist sport on the planet. There is also sexist in tennis and a lot of people say that the sexist in tennis needs to stop. I think that rugby is sexist to women because they get touched every time they get tackled.

I think that netball is sexist to men because they do get touched oftenly just like in rugby when they get tackled they are also being touched by another person. I also think that netball is sexist because some people get sexually harassed by others when trying to get the ball they sometimes get touched by the other person.

WALT: Reflect on the task we did for reading.

Today our class read an article about sexism in sports. Sexism in sports happens oftenly in rugby because you get touched when you get tackled by the other team. I learnt that there can be sexism in many sports and I also learnt what sexism means. Something that I found challenging in this task was trying to found out what sports were sexist to men because there aren’t really any sports that are sexist to men. My understanding of this task was that we had to figure out if sports were sexist. Sexist is when you're sexually being harassed by someone else or when someone is discriminating you typically womens. I know that I have learnt something new about sexist because I haven’t really had the thought of sexism in sports.
