Dianna Issac

Last week on Friday 10th of May I went to Dianna Issac with a small group from my hub of 8-9 people, we went in and introduced ourselves after a while some of elder started to fall asleep, so one of the teachers said if there were any instruments in there to keep them awake as a joke and I pointed to the piano and they asked me if I could Play and I said yes so they told me to go play and I did it was really fun and I knew my friend knew how to play some good songs to so I told her to come up with me and we knew a few songs and we played them at the same time, I really enjoyed my visit there and I hope to come back soon

can you play Piano? 

Speech

Someone out there is being Discriminated

right now, how do you feel? Probably don’t

care because your not the one who is being discriminated,

my opinion on it is that why should coloured people be treated

differently to us? I mean they are still human, still the same, does the same

things as us, they did nothing wrong, it’s just because they are coloured so people

treat them wrongly and badly, I don’t think it’s fair.

That right there was a little part of my speech that I'm working on for week 3,

every student in the kaupeka hub is making a speech on discrimination, mine so

far is about Racism and Religious Discrimination, the choices were Sexism, Racism,

Religious Discrimination, and Able-ism, if you wanna find out what all of these mean

go to my other blog about discrimination, if you had to make a Speech on

discrimination

what types of discrimination would you chose?

All about Technology

 Hello again, being apart of the year 7/8 hub introduces a new thing called Technology, in Technology for term 2 I am in Fabrics/sewing I find this really fun to do, especially how satisfying the sewing machine is, anyway, this week we are going to move onto starting the progress on making our pillow cases, and in the last 2 weeks we learnt how to use the sewing machine and put the thread in, during the next week we actually started using them on tester pieces, this week we made small test on how we are going to stitch around the pillow, then we out pins in our real pillow to make the 2 pieces stick together while we sew it, sadly I didn't get to sewing my pillow, but next week I will

if you were doing technology what would you want to do? Cooking, Sewing, Wood works, or plastics?

Cross Country

Hi, so during week 2 on Thursday we did cross country and since I'm a year 7 now we had to do 3 laps which surprisingly was better than doing 2 laps.. don't ask me why because I really don't know how or why 3 laps were better than 2 laps, anyway, I wasn't so nervous this time mostly because I knew me and my friends were just going to Jog together through it, in the end I came 3rd to last and I didn't really mind because Running isn't really my thing so I guess I just didn't really mind, Did you do Cross country, if you did what place did you come?

Discrimination Art

For week 3 we have been working on a piece of art based on discrimination where we had to make a logo draw a self portrait or print out a picture of ourselves then we had to make a quote write a poem or a story if you have been discriminated before, have you ever been discriminated against? and if you have what about? if you had to make a discrimination art poster what story poem or quote would you add and what would your logo look like?? 

Goals for Term 2

Hi Again, so for this term I am going to try to get more work completed at the right time because last term I struggled and I did not know what to do but I know what I'm doing now and I think I can get lots more work done at the rights times, my second goal is to put myself where I think I can work well and not get distracted, I'm very hopeful for this term and so far I am very proud of myself for getting work done on time so far, what are your Term 2 Goals??

How can we Fight against Discrimination

Today at school we have learnt about Discrimination and what it feels like to be Discriminated. 

Ageism - Ageism is when you get Discriminated of your age, like for example all year 8's can go out to lunch but all the year 7's have to stay in and do extra work. 

Racism - Racism is where someone is Discriminated of their colour or Race, for example someone doesn't let a coloured person on the bus because they are different and they can't change that

Sexism - Sexism is when someone is discriminated of their gender like for example, a girl could be wanting to play Rugby but some of the boys would tell her you can't play because your a girl. 

Able-ism - Able-ism is where someone is bullied or people make fun of someone for having a disability, example, someone is talking about a person who has a disability or they don't let this person with the disability play with them or they don't let them play this sport because they think they can't do it because they don't seem the same as us. 

Religion - Religion discrimination is where someone is bullied because of what they believe in or people would say to them your not allowed to do this because you believe in God or other religions. 

Stereotypes - A Stereotype is someone who looks at a person and thinks they can't play this sport because they look like that or for example oh shes a girl she can't run faster than me or oh that coloured person can't be in my store because it will make me look bad. 

What is Discrimination? - Discrimination is when someone would come up to you and say something like your a girl you can't be here or your sitting on a plane next to a coloured guy and you want to move seats, so really discrimination is what I have explained above. 

What does it mean to Stand up? - to stand up means that you see someone getting discriminated and you go up to them and stand up for the person who is getting discriminated on something they CAN'T change, just a small act like that will make them feel happy.

What does a Up-Stander do? - a Up-stander will stand up for people being discriminated and try to stop discrimination.

What are the different types of discrimination? - Racism, Sexism, Religion, Able-ism

Have you been Discriminated Against Before?? and if you have tell me what of, Sexism, Racism, Religion, or Able-ism.
