Secret Mission.

Last week Friday, each student in my science class was given a 'Secret Mission'. My secret mission was to fall down and pretend I had broken my ankle, and see how quick the crowd would react. I failed. I did it in front of my family, but no one reacted. So I think next time I would work on my acting :) They just all laughed, so, yeah.

Last week Thursday we started year 10 jumpstart. Since then, I've had six periods with Mrs Well in S3. Within those six periods, I've learnt about 'Parakuihi and Hauora' ( Breakfast and Well-Being), A few science investigations, Nutrients, and other stuff. My tutor class 9RMz was picked to be part of this 'Integrated Learning Unit'. We're learning about 'Pakuihi and Hauora'. We learn it in six different classes: Health, P.E, Science, Maths, Food Tech, and Social Studies.

1080

Is 1080 saving or destroying the environment?  I think that it's not saving the environment but destroying it. If a bird was killed by this, then obviously it's destroying. It's being used as an easier way of getting rid of possum, rats, and pests. But it has killed over 300 deers. I think it is not helping the environment.

My Diary Entry - Tokelau

Before I left to University in Fiji, my grandmother passed. This made me feel like I just wanted to stay and work on the plantation. But my mother motivated me, that I should make most of the opportunities given and just go. It has been three long years since I left home, and I am proud to say that I have graduated with the Bachelor Of Nursing degree. I want to help my country in every way I can. Medically. I'm nervous and excited at the same time to see my family and homeland. I am currently on the boat with a few other students who are also returning back to Tokelau. I have heard about the different changes, good and bad, and I'm excited to see it all.

Social Studies

Today I learnt about two new Social Studies concepts.
The first concept 'Globalisation'. Which means when you own a company/business and want it to make it international. For example McDonald's. It's almost in every country in the world. It is worldwide.
The second social studies concept 'Modernisation'. It means having to up to date. Eg: instead of starting a fire to warm up some food, you could just use a microwave.
