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.

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.
