Perspective: Micro chipping cats

I think that micro chipping cats is nonsense. My back up reasons for this are that they really do not need a micro chip because they already know where they live and not to be tracked. They are very attached to their owners so they will know their way unless they are new to the area. 

How NZ laws are made

How parliaments make laws

Why we need laws 

Laws protect us and our environment. Parliament and the community o NZ has been considering a lot of laws. Making laws take a lot of steps and debates. As citizens we respect the laws because they are clearly communicated and fairly enforced. Everyone is held accountable to the same laws, and those laws protect our fundamental rights.

How parliament make laws

First the bill is considered by the first reading which is the first opportunity for the house to debate. Next is the select committee who have six months to listen and observe the public and the useful evidence. Then the next step is second reading which is the main debate for the house and for it to be defeated. After that is the committee of the whole house who make further amendments. After that is the third reading is the last debate. Finally is the royal assent which is when the queen signs the bill and officially becomes a law of NZ or a act of parliament.

SOS - Understand the three branches of Government

Andrew Little and Winston peters are concerned about the new Australian policy, removing New Zealanders from Australia. I think that them being concerned about the new official policy is a good thing because them doing that causes our country to get furious, because we allow Australians in New Zealand. This will impact trans tasman relation because this will ruin our bilateral relationship. I think that all laws between two countries should be agreed by both countries.

Review: Bottling water to send overseas

I think that foreign land buyers should not use NZ water to send overseas for other people. My opinion supports the Green parliament's decision. David Marmara thinks that this situation is very critical so he strongly agrees with Foreign people selling our water overseas. I strongly agree with the Green party because our water from our rivers are ours only. They can sell in NZ but, I disagree with foreign people selling it overseas for their own benefits. I would like this to be a major law in NZ.

Cybersmart

         Cybersmart

What it means to be cybersmart and why it is important:

- It means to have protection online

Two things you learnt about being cybersmart and how you could apply

it to your own life:

- I learnt that being cybersmart saves you from bad emotions and it also helps

with social media problems. Now I know if I become cybersmart I can

use this for people that are mean on social media.  

A personal strategy a young person can do to help themselves

if they are being cyberbullied:

- In my own opinion I would talk to someone if it’s either your family

friends or someone you know just talk to whoever your comfortable with.

A interpersonal strategy a young person can do to help their friend

who is being cyberbullied:

- Accompany and support the person. You can also talk to the bully

and tell him/her to stop doing that.

A personal strategy a young person who finds themselves bullying other

young people can do to help build their self-esteem and change their behaviour:

- Show empathy in the person your bullying.

Tips to give to the year 6s about how they could become cybersmart:

- One of my many tips is to make sure you learn more about being

cybersmart before you start any sort of social media.

Review: Plastic bags being banned

Today my class and I read an article about governments debating over plastic bags being banned. Jacinda Ardern thinks banning plastic bags will save the community, by decreasing the pollution. Simon Bridge thinks that this will not make a difference. In my opinion I think that plastic bags being banned is a good thing because our community will be much more clean and healthy. Our pollution will slowly decrease in percentages.

Survivor - Blog reflection (2)

The first problem we faced was finding supplies, food and water. We solved the problem, by searching and scavenging.

Then we had to set up camp for us to sleep. One other problem we faced was the other living people on the island. We solved this problem by creating weapons, but making sure they were friendly or not so we would be able to attack.

Finally the last problem was the pirates who landed on the island and we solved this by ambushing them and taking their supplies.

We also had to chose between building a house or a boat, we chose a boat. Many of us made decisions as a team.

We had no other fair way to be captain so we played a fun game of rock, paper, scissors.

 The reason we had to do this task was because our topic is government and we were testing if they could help their people in the community.

Migration model

This migration model shows that people from Tokelau are now migrating to NZ because of climate change, economical services, health issues and education. As you can see the Mainstream flow is bigger than the counter stream flow, that is because more people migrate to NZ than move back to Tokelau. The push reason is negative and the pull is positive. There are many obstacles trying to migrate so I added it in my model.

SOS - Climate Refugees

This diagram can lead people to migrate and become refugees because of weather, pollution, gases and many more. This is caused to disease, hurt or kill them. The land will also be damaged which is not good for people in the land. The agriculture such as cows, they infect the air with their unwanted waste. Pollution is not good for the water because if they would like to fish, the fish will be dead or rotten. Climate is one of the most dangerous.

SOS - Tokelau

As I was on a long journey back to my homeland I was thinking of what would happen if they would not treat me the same as like I would back when I did not leave to get better knowledge to carry that and give to my people that gave it to me. A few hours later and I finally arrived at Tokelau and they actually greeted me like it was my birthday, all the tears filled the land and screamed pierced my ears. Their smiles were a mile long and all the food I got presented was delicious. After all the greetings I met the elders and they were glad that I made it back and now I started giving my knowledge to the school and children around my village.

Math - Number test

Tamaki College Year 9 Assessment Task

    

Apply numeric reasoning when solving problems

Mark: Level 4E

Full Name: Huntah		Class: 9Ttu
Teacher: Mr Lee

                                            A Trip to the Movies

A trip to the movies is being organised for the Year 9s and 10s at Tamaki College.

The costs involved are:

Hire of the movie theatre                                   $500

Cost of Transport for each student                            $3.80

Cost of a snack (popcorn, drink or ice cream)     $4

It is expected that

• 1/3 of the students attending will have a combo. and
• 15% of the students attending will have one snack

There are 114 Year 9 students and 96 Year 10 students at Tamaki College.

The school has stated that at least 60 students must attend for the trip to go ahead.

Investigate the cost of this trip, per student, if 60 or more students attend the trip.

Show full working, explain what you are doing at each step and round your answers sensibly. State any assumptions made.

Your overall grade will depend on the clarity of your thinking and calculations.

Hints:

1. What would the total cost of the transport?
2. How many students will be expected to buy a snack?
3. How many students are expected to buy a combo?
4. What is the total cost if 60 students attend?
5. How much does the school have to charge each student if only 60 students attend?

Statement	Working	Answer
What would the total cost of the transport?	3.80 x 60 = 228 + 500 = 728	228 + 500 = $728
How many students will be expecting to buy a snack?	15% of 60 = 9 x 4 = 36	9
How many students are expected to buy a combo?	⅓ of 60 = 20 x 10 = 200	20
What is the total cost if 60 students attend?	728 + 36 + 200	$964
How much does the school have to charge each student if only 60 students attend?	60 x ☐ = 964 60 x 16.10 = 966	The answer I got was $16.10 that each student will have to pay and there will be $2 left to spend

Social studies

Today in social studies I learnt 2 new concepts and they were Modernisation and Sustainability.  The meaning of modernisation is adapting with something much more better and sustainability means to maintain you level or improve in it.
