Tikanga-a-iwi - Being globally minded

 

Economy 

Economy, Economy is the state of a region or country offering goods and services of good value for money. Economy is an area of the production and trade, as well as consumption and distribution of goods and services.

Trade 

Trading can be defined in many terms, Trade is an act of selling items in exchange for another. So in other words giving someone something for something of theirs.

Globalisation

Globalisation is everything sold around the world, everything that is bought and sold whether it's online or in person. Globalisation is the process of markets across the world becoming more integrated thanks to the exchange of goods and services. 

 

We all have been researching different exported products. We all had to find where it was made and where it was exported to. I decided to research alcohol. It is a very popular product worldwide and is sold everywhere. This product first existed in early Egypt and has expanded incredibly from there. 

NZ export products

This term in social studies we have been learning about NZ export products. We had to research and track different export products that connect to New Zealand. I choose to research alcohol because this is on of the top NZ products in NZ. We had to track our product and find out which places it was sold using Google Maps. This term I have learnt more about globalisation, economy and trade and look forward to extending my knowledge on NZ Export Products and following the lead from my kaiako Whaea Muritere. Kia ora.

See Ya Simon (Scene)

 

See Ya Simon 

For the past few weeks we have been working on a scene from the book weave been reading "See Ya Simon", we had to animate it using scratch, Mahuta and I did a scene from the cross country event. 

Term 1 Social Studies Assessment - Waitangi what really happened

 For the past term we have been learning about what really happened during the time the treaty of Waitangi was signed. We watched 7 episodes that showed us what happened before, during and after the treaty was signed. We worked in small groups of 2 and 3 to make a slide that explained what we learnt throughout the term.  Here is my work

Word art speech

  For the past few weeks in English we have been writing speech about ( A community issue, A school issue or someone we admire) in this case I chose a community and school issue which is smoking, I tried to pick a topic that I had no idea how to write about so it was a little bit challenging.  I really enjoyed writing my speech and saying it first on Friday.

Here is a poster I made about my speech:)

T.A.C.O

Today we have been learning about different types of tenses ( past, present and future ) . In Te reo Maori we had to write sentences using the three tenses, We used a thing called TACO which stands for tense, action, character and object. The easy part was knowing the sentence structure and knowing how to write it how I wanted it. The hard part was trying not to have the same sentence as others. Next time I want to try and use other actions instead of haere and use better vocab.
