Workshop 1:Unpacking the themes and Ideas

Kindness- A verbal or physical action that is nice, Caring, Using manners, Respect

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Example 
-When Jack sticks up for Auggie during the fight scene
-Shows kindness-sticking up for a friend
-Not letting others talk badly about friends
-Jack has previously not been kind, talked about Auggie behind his back.
-Important because
-helps make friends
-Builds a persons self confidence
-Makes people feel accepted/included
-if there wasn't kindness Auggie wouldn't have made any friends ,grown his self confidence
to be able to take off his helmet, feel included at beaker prep
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Importance of Family & Friendship-Trust, trust of others, support systems, people you feel safe with, help build resilience

-Example 1:
When the Pullman's dog Daisy dies
-Shows theme
-Brings family together to grieve
-Show support for one another
-Auggie and Via put aside their argument to look after each other

Example 2:
The fight at the nature reserve where Amos and the guys come together to rescue Jack and Auggie from the 7th graders

-Shows theme
-Support because they stand up for each other
-Trust-the boys come to help them, they don't abandon each other
-Resilience-the boys support each other to move forward, they are all friends now.

Important to the story
-Good relationships with friends help Auggie build trust and feel safe. He takes the helmet off.
-His friendship with Summer teaches him resilience,trust and forgiveness.
-His family are always there to support him when things are wrong at school.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Struggle between right and popular-
-Being right means showing integrity-doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
-Being popular means agreeing with / acting in a way others want you to, even when you don't agree.

Example 1-
-When Jack chose to sit with Auggie as his science partner instead of Julien.
-Show theme- Jack chose right over popular. Julien wanted to leave Auggie out and Jack chose not to.
-In the past Jack had picked friendship with Julien over Auggie.

Example 2-
-When Summer decides to sit with Auggie instead of the popular girls who were talking behind Auggies back.

Shows theme-
-Summer chose right- not to sit and talk nasty with her friends, but to go and sit with Auggie who was alone
-Auggie doesn't trust her a first because of Jack.
-Summer stays anyways and helps Auggie-links to importance of friendship

Importance of the story-
-The concept is relatable, everyone has to experience this so it helps the viewer to engage with the story.
-Makes kindness and relationships more obvious once we see a person struggle. 

Health reflection

Health-

Last week we did games of all sorts for health we did games like making a cup tower by pulling strings and bouncing ping pong balls into cups... My favorite game that we did was when me and Zack paired up in a team to throw a water balloon to each other this is how the game goes: you need to get a partner and need a water balloon first you need to go as close as you can then you need to throw it to each other five times back and fourth then once you do that you take a step backwards and then continue. Me and Zack got all across the court and if we dropped it we needed to stop where we are, Me and Zack caught every single throw and we won, we didn't fail but in the middle of it someone broke our balloon and so we needed to get a new one but it was a baby one as small as a tooth basically but a little bit bigger... we couldn't stop but then we had to go inside and we had to purposely break the balloon, that game was the most fun game that we played that day.

Wonder themes Poster

Today we had to make a creative poster or something to show the wonder theme guide, i chose to do a poster, this film had three things that we had to talk about kindness, popularity and Family.

Athletics

Sprints-

 Last week we ran 1,500 meters. It was tiring and exhausting but our time was pretty decent. I got 8 mins 10 secs which was alright. We found it hard but we will improve in the future.

Shot put-

In shot put i got 12.15 meters witch is good, it was pretty easy since I love doing shot put the most out of all of them but i did it and im practicing for tomorrow witch is athletics day.

Long jump-

In long jump we had a few practices at the start and then i had my real go the girls were on one end and the boys were at the other, i tried at first and got 5.4 meters than i tried my second time and got 6.9 after that i tried and tried to get seven and then i eventually did.

High jump-

When i tried high jump it was pretty hard but i did it and i felt good i made it up to 2.6 meters up and that was good for me i didn't keep on trying anyway it was a smart idea if i did because i could have bet my score

Sprints- 

In sprints i had to race challenging people like Tj and it was 100 meters i thought i would loose because they were really quick but i put myself up to the test, handed my watch to Zack and then i ran and surprisingly i won, i was shocked and happy 

Food tech saftey/hygene

Last Friday we cooked Pizza Roles and I was in a group with Aryan and Andre we worked together well and we all took part inside of the pizza roles we had bacon,cheese and onion we made our own dough and it cooked really good and most important tasted good...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today we needed to design a poster on washing up in the kitchen and this is what I did

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today in food tech we had to work on a piece of paper which had a messy kitchen and on one of the piece's of paper it said where are the hazards inside this kitchen there was stuff like an iron there and the dishwasher was left open, there were stuff on the floor aswell as water that can make you slip overall it was just a mess and on the next sheet there was a kitchen just about as worse but it had dishes all over the place there was a chair in the middle of the space there was food and rubbish all around and that was just what we had to work on, we wrote down what wasn't safe and how we could prevent it from happening...

Music- Major key-Happy
Tempo-fast-gives energy
Dynamics-loud - gives energy
Makes the viewer feel happy about the ending

Where as at the start Auggie was imagining himself happy, at the end he actually is happy
which is why the background of the scene is now realistic.

Metal work

Today in metal we made signs to make people aware of the cautions in metal work mines about a bag that can trip someone up

Here is a few information about what the words mean and how they work...

Prohibitive Sign: A Prohibitive sign is a safety sign and it is likely to cause a risk to your health or your safety. It is expected to be a red circle with a diagonal cross through to show that you are banned and forbidden to do it.

Mandatory Sign: Mandatory signs are road signs which are mainly used to tell the traffic specific things to do, if not followed you're risking your life. Unlike prohibitive signs, mandatory signs tell traffic what they must do and what not to.

Hazard Sign: Hazard signs or warning symbols are symbols designed to warn about the hazardous or dangerous objects, place or matter, including electric currents, poisons and radioactivity. The use of hazard sign is often ordered by law and other standards groups.

Health 2020

Welcome to another post on my blog. In today's post, I am going to share my learning reflection so far on health. we started health.

For health, we are learning Wellbeing or Hauora in Maori. first, we learnt, what does Hauora mean?

The four areas of wellbeing,

• Physical - Taha Tinana
• Social - Taha Whanau
• Mental/Emotional - Taha Hinengaro
• Spiritual - Taha Wairua

Next, we did the Hauora Mix & Match cards, where we had to highlight the four wellbeing areas into different colours, then, matched them into the four wellbeing areas. 

After doing that activity, we had wrote (as a class) about, 'What is Hauora?' After writing lots of words about the four wellbeing areas or the 'Te Whare Tapa Wha'. We had wrote about our current Hauora, which means that how are we are showing these four dimensions. Because we hadn't finished the 'Current Hauora' activity, we continued it today. 

In today's lesson, we had completed the 'Current Hauora' activity and wrote some Hauora Interactions that we have. Our health teacher had taught us that our 'the Current Hauora' changes every day of what we are feeling. I had written about sleep and food. 

Savory bread cases

In Food tech today we made savory bread cases and we had to follow certain steps.

1. Cut bread crust but cut it as close to the edge as possible in this lesson we used wholemeal bread and white bread
2. Margarine the bread that you cut
3. Get a muffin tray and flip the margarine part of the bread upside down and push it slowly through you shouldn't have any holes
4. Put it in the oven until the bread is nice and crisp and looks not overcooked and perfect
5. Once it is done and you take it out you can put inside of them holes Baked beans,Spaghetti,ham and cheese
6. Once your done that mix it up and put it inside of the holes
7. Put it inside of the oven again until the cheese starts bubbling and looks good
8. do dishes take it out and enjoy :D

Hazard and safety signs

Today in Metal work, we have been given a task to make a hazard sign to aware this class about safety rules inside of the work space so we can be aware of the cautions that we need to be aware of throughout the lessons.

What is a hazard:
A hazard is something that can hurt someone by making them fall or hurt their self a hazard everyone needs to be aware of because it will be embarrassing and hurtful if you trip over and make a scene so that's why we are gonna be making a sign to stop that and to make people think before doing. If the signs are there other people/our class will feel much more safe inside of this learning space.

Workshop signs:
In the workshop you will find a sign that links towards something that will hurt you like for example metal that is cut this can hurt you because if you point it at someone or make it go close towards you, you can get seriously hurt. Something else that can hurt you is a bag something simple like a bag can hurt you by tripping you up and it might not be your bag but remember to keep your bag or your belongings in a space not out in the open preferably under a desk or somewhere that will not hurt another person.

Safety signage inside of the workshop:
inside of the workshop you will find safety signage by something that might trip you or hurt you there could be signage by something that can cause fires or even just something that your not allowed to use till it will be safe for you. The real caution sign inside of safety signage is a triangle background and caution signs should be easily noticed

Mandatory signs:
A mandatory sign means a sign prescribing behavior basically telling what not and what to do so then your safe. These signs are required to be blue and generally there is a white safety symbol on it but the background is blue mandatory signs show what action is required to do the particular subject or tool and how to use it.

Prohibitive signs:

A prohibitive sign means a safety sign prohibiting behavior likely to cause a risk to health or safety a prohibition sign shall only show what is or who is forbidden these signs usually have a black safety symbol with a red diagonal cross going through it.
