Standing up for our rights

Today in Hurumanu we are writing down words and then writing their meaning. Learning Outcome: Demonstrate how social messages and stereotypes can affect feelings of self-worth.

Discrimination: The act of treating some people unfairly because of prejudice.

Prejudice: An opinion formed without knowing all the facts.

Stereotypes: A standardised and oversimplified and inaccurate conception held by many people.

Protest: An objection of complaint. To express objection to or disagreement with, in a planned, organized way.

Social messaging: Passing of a message/idea from Person to Person in a community

The Dawn Raids:

-What happened?

Police went house to house checking to see if they actually belong in New Zealand.

-How did stereotyping and social messaging play a role in this incident?

It's cause people thought that black people were bad and overstayers so they blamed them for the reason they didn't have jobs. The black people would get raided in the middle of the night and forced them to show their passports or reasons why they should stay or should be there and if they didn't have a reason they would be diported this lead to the Polynesian Panthers to react on the situation and that made New Zealand a better place. This was because they told the govourment that it was terrible that they were doing what they were doing.

Vocab

For the past few weeks we have been making either a Crossword or a Kahoot about 12 different words. We had to right down a question and then the answer. This was for all words. I decieded to do a crossword because I have done a few kahoots before and I thought it would be better to switch up. If you want to play my Crossword here it is Link. If if doesn't send you straight to it click the top link and it will hopefully send you to it. You have to click on them and put in the letters by typing them (Hopefully you know that already). If you want to mark the work here are all 12 words that are in the Crossword. They aren't all in order. Last off, don't use these words to cheat because that's just weird and it means you didn't try. Persistence, Perseverance, Adaptibility, Barrier, Goal, Aspiration, Resilience, Achievement, Respect, Empathy, Integrity, and Commitment.

Promoting outstanders

 In Hurumanu 1 we had to do a task about bullying. We got to do a Photogenic or a Digi Poster. I decieded to do a Photogenic. We had to do it in a group of about 4. We had to take a few photos on what a bullying scenario would be. We had to put who is the bully, enabler, outstander, and bystander. Here is the slide with the pictures we took.

CARR Values

In Hurumanu 2 we have been talking about our school values what are Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, and Respect. We are writing down what these values are and what they mean. Heres the values and what they mean.

Commitment: Your on time you have all your equipment for what you are learning and you have a positive attitude for learning. 

Achievement: Doing your best work you can do, aiming high and Achievement looks different for each every person.

Resilience: Having the confidences to try new things, not giving up on your work or what your doing and saying to yourself, "I can do it!"

Respect: You respect other people places you go, the things you use and other people's beliefs. Beliefs like Christianity.

The Bully poem

 In hurumanu 1 for the 10 minute work we got to read a poem about a bully. Here's the link to the poem if you want to read it yourself "Link". This poem made me think about the bully as a lonley one has no friend's and always trys to keep his reputation up, the bad type of reputation by going around looking for the weak. Bully's would never go for the older or stronger because they always know that they would never win because there is always a big power difference. If I ever say this bully I would probably ignore him or if hes trying to hurt someone get someone who can help with the situation. I would also walk away from him and try to ignore him by not looking at him.
