We also made a thing link to put on all our questions and answers. Have a look at what i did and feel free to leave a comment.

 

where we were born and why are we called names

On the 25th of October Room 7 did a world map with our amazing cybersmart teacher James. Firstly we had to write where we were born and add a picture to show where we were born or what we liked. Then we realised that our School is special because we have many diverse Students in our School. Have a look at where students from Waikowhai primary were born. Then we answered some questions about how long they got here. Here are the questions we asked.

How far have some students travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS? Hame travelled 3,390 km to get to Auckland. But most of our class is born in New Zealand.

Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?

So they can get a better education and so they can get a good job and future. Family and work.

Is this a trend in NZ society? What does the media tell us?

Yes because house in new Zealand are not expensive and because it is cheaper and better income.

Then we watched a video on racist people and how people look and what they are . Have a look at the video.





The Lie from Untitled Productions on Vimeo.

I felt kinda sad because people are teasing each other on what colour skin they are and what nationality we are.It was good because it showed that people can judje you even tho they don't know you.

my famous idol

On Monday the 17th  room 7 had to write about someone we looked up to. We chose someone famous so we can write facts about them. Then we had to gather some information so we could be successful in finding out as much information as possible on our famous idol. Then we created a slide and put all our information on. Then we added pictures to the background to make it cool. Have a look of what i did. My famous idol is Shaquille O'neal

                                         

On Monday the 17th of October our cyber smart teacher James showed us a world map. Firstly we all wrote on a chart and had to write what our name was and were We were born. We also added someone from our family but they had to been born somewhere else. Then we had to write were other people from our class were born. We also had to add a picture of a hospital you were born in. Here is a map of where all of Room 7 and their families are from.Hope you like it.
 

Art festival

This Term Room 7 and the whole school had to make a piece of art for our art show. Room 7 had the choice of clay art.Our teacher Mr Ross gave us a mission to make a mythical creature out of clay. We had a test run with play dough because it was the closest thing to clay but first we had to draw what our mythical creature was in our art book.
When we first got our clay we had to mould the shape of what we were doing and then we added little details to make it cool.Then we had to wait about two weeks because Our teacher Mr Ross took them to get burnt in this kind of oven.After two weeks we painted them.I painted one half blue with white poke dots and painted the rest red.Those colours resemble the Samoan flag.There was also a Art festival for the whole week.We also did a slide of what our creature was afraid of and it's weakness's and strengths.we also did what they like to eat and what race it was.
