Social Studies Reflection: Pt.1

In term two I conducted a Social Inquiry on Migration!

My Social Inquiry focussed on the movement for migrants from Australia to New Zealand.
The push reasons why Australian Migrants left their country of origin is that there are a lot of Bush Fires in Australia which is runing the WildLife living in the Bushes & people too.

The pull reasons why they moved to NZ is because in New Zealand we don't have a lot of Crime & Punishment & we have a lot of nice, kind people in our country.

Some of the obstacles they faced was Family lost & Emotional 

Social Studiest Reflection: Pt.2

L1NK:

What Problems Did You Face? My group & I had to challenge, agreeing on Decisions. We all had our ups & downs on agreeing which answer was the best, but at the end we all got through & agreed on an answer.

How Did You Solve Problems? My group solved problems by using our thinking & participating skills. ….

Who Made Decisions? To be honest, the whole group made the decisions but before we made those decisions we had to agree on which decision that we had to agree on.

Was There One Leader Who Made The Decisions? No, because everyone worked together as a team because we were doing group work.

Why Did We Complete This Task?

We had to complete this task because our important reasons is our Marks & Reports.

What Are The Similarities And Differences Between Pretending To Be A Survivor On An Island (your task) And Reality?

That life is harder on an Island instead of being in your own environment because you're used to being in your own instead of another.

Yr9 CAMP!

On Monday & Tuesday we spent the last 2 days camping at Hunua Falls. First off we bussed from our school (Tamaki College) all the way to Kokako Lodge in Papakura. When we arrived we did a 10k Hike in the mountains to our camp site (Hunua Falls). During the Hike heaps of people slipped, had fun & there were a lot of laughs because we haven't been together before as a class. The Hike had finished & we arrive to out Camp site, we picked our cabins & dropped all our gears onto the ground.

Later on we were put into groups & did activities that involved Teamwork. The next day we carried on with our activities & unfortunately we had to go home because it was a Overnight camp which was gay. But my favourite thing about the camp was that we were together as a class & at night time us boys Benjamin, Taki, Araiti, Taiaha & Te-Paki were all talking & having a few laughs past our bed times.

Ms Robertson's Migration Story From Samoa

At today's Social Study period we had Presentation by Ms Robertson's mum. She came in & told us about her Migration from Samoa to New Zealand. She left Samoa & migrated to New Zealand in 1962 at the aged of 18, so now she'll be 73. The reason why she left Samoa because her parents told her to go to New Zealand was to build houses, work, make money so that she the money back to her parents in Samoa so that they can make houses here in New Zealand. The other reason why was because her parents wanted their Grandchildren to go overseas to Samoa show that they have the same ways that they learn't in New Zealand. Ms Robertson achieved all that & had children, she encouraged them & taught them heaps.

Sitting The Mid Term Exams

My prediction for the Mid Term Exams was that it was going to be hard because we had to sit it for 2 hours, which is a big step from Intermediate.

How Did I Feel During Exams? When sitting Exams it was tiring because we had to do the exams for three days straight (Wednesday to Friday).

1 Exam I Liked ~ My exam that I liked was Science because we had to do both things 1. Use our Chromebooks & fill out a form & 2. We used Pen & Paper.

1 Exam I Disliked ~ My exam that I disliked was Social Studies because Friday’s exam I felt sick because I started coughing and sweating after I finished it.
