S U R V I V A L

What problems did you face?
The problems we faced were having to be warm every night, and having to not be hungry. It was hard for us to catch food to eat, hard to find warm clothing for us, hard for us to get wood for making fire, hard for us to survive. It wasn't as easy as possible, having to swim in very cold water to go fishing, having to pick up and drag a lot of wood back to camp, having to fight vicious animals. Fighting over what belongs to who, fighting over how much we get to eat, fighting over arguments, and how we crash landed on a random island out of the grid.

How did you solve problems?
We solve them by working together to survive, sharing our things, and having to do or help with other peoples jobs. We solved them by making sure everyone is satisfied with what they wear, eat, and how they choose to be warm. We help each other any way best as possible.

Who made decisions?
As a whole group, we all came up with best choices possible. We had came up with how to, what to, to do. We made a great plan on how to survive, how to be warm, how to get enough food and water.

What i have learned about my migrant country

This term i have been studying facts about "Wales", welsh people, and found about a lot of some interesting information during my researches. Well, lets just say, the people of wales came, shipped off to New Zealand to live better lives, but lets be honest they actually came for the gold, in our gold mines. Welsh members are technically from Wales, and the reason of why they are present as welsh members, because i guess, i know that its a traditional thing. Anyways, welsh members actually arrived firstly around the 19th, early 20th centuries. But unfortunately some welsh members are literally struggling in the island, country of wales, either because not that much food or because they starting to become more and more poor of resources for the family, and clothes for them to wear. So they ship themselves or fly down to New Zealand.

From Tokelau to New Zealand

In Tokelau, it was hard for the people, because they had problems like not that much food, not enough clothes, and no money. It was difficult for them, but they always hope, hope that they will on day get enough of everything they wanted, and that they can build more, and live longer. Tokelau, was a small island, with not that much resources, so they struggled with life. The only way for them to live longer, is to do the island way of working, like hunting for food, and making clothes, there wasn't very much money in Tokelau, because it is a very poor country. They prayed to God, asking for help, and they did indeed get help. The families in Tokelau was, in need of help to, so they shipped them off to a different country, for them to live life easier and better. But i was a bit hard for them, because they didn't understand the language other people were saying, and they couldn't understand very well, but all was good for them. They went through tough obstacles, finding, understanding, and communicating. There were some who knew how to speak English, and some that don't, well some that is not used to, not quite yet. Living in a different country was hard, because being far away from their family was a bit too scary and yet to sad, because well, they had to leave their families, for their lives to be better than it is. Tokelauans moved to different countries because living in Tokelau was hard, and difficult, so they decided to ship off to another country so that their lives gets better and so they live their lives easier.

Sitting The Exams

When i first started my exams for this year, i was feeling a bit depressed because of thinking i might fail everything, and thinking that i won't do good enough. I was stressed out, because i was so afraid of getting low marks, and so afraid of being put down a level, i was so embarrassed. Through the whole exams, i had no faith in maths, because maths was the hardest subject for exams, because of the strategies i had to use to complete it. The exams was a big challenge for me because it was way harder than last years exams, because it had, heaps of questions for us to answer, and heaps of solving out to do, it was challenging because the exams got me confused and worried, because i was sure enough that my answers were to be right, and was worried of failing my class and the year group. The exams was hard, and easy, but mainly hard because i didn't really understand the text at first, but reading it over and over again, made me realise that the exam was actually not that hard at all, but still, it was hard for me. I didn't really prepare for my exams well, because in my classes, i did pay attention but always got distracted, and because i wasn't ready for exams week. I wasn't ready at all, because i didn't learn much cause i was distracted, and because we didn't know much, cause we were always loud. I believe that in the science exams, i did excellent because i knew the topics, and i understand everything in science because i was taking notes of what we were to do in the exams. I believe that science was the easiest for me because, i re-learnt every topics in science. I had troubles in my exams like doing the maths exams because i didn't really understand most of the exam, but most of it was kind of easy, but not really, because i disfavour maths, and i do not really like maths at all, but in the maths exams i was proud of myself because luckily i was listening, and i got some questions right. In my exams i could've done better, by answering all the questions, and giving it my best shot, and trying everything even if i didn't know the right answer, i could've have more faith that i would do good, and not to worry that my marks are gonna be low. Next time, i will do my very best, and to never give up so easily. I would answer all the questions, and give it my best shot, and try to not rush but finish the test on time.

When we first started our exams, i wasn't ready

That my hands were shaking, and my brain wasn't steady

Starting of with English, i did a big mistake

That i didn't do it right, which gave me a headache

I struggled in Maths, and got everything wrong

I almost gave up, cause it took way too long

Science was easy, but really complicated

Not knowing the correct answer, that was one thing i hated

Thinking i failed, that i didn't do good enough

Doing something else, and doing other stuff

I answered as best as i can, to get to my goal

And got good marks, at the end of it all

Digital Footprint

What Is A Digital Foot Print? Websites you have been on that can not be deleted in history, it leaves a foot print and anyone can access to see what websites you have been on, so there are literally no ways you can delete any websites you have visited.

Why Are We Learning About Digital Foot Print? Its shows us ways to be safe on Social Media, and that we go on the right websites, and it warns us that we can not delete anything on Social Media cause it will always be permanently posted online. Digital Foot Print helps us realise that anything we post or send can not be erased, it will always be there, and anything negative things we have posted online can not be deleted.
Passive Digital Footprint?A "passive digital footprint" is a data trail you unintentionally leave online. For example, when you visit a website, the web server may log your IP address, which identifies your Internet service provider and your approximate location. While your IP address may change and does not include any personal information, it is still considered part of your digital footprint. A more personal aspect of your passive digital footprint is your search history, which is saved by some search engines while you are logged in.

Active Digital Footprint? An "active digital footprint" includes data that you intentionally submit online. Sending an email contributes to your active digital footprint, since you expect the data be seen and/or saved by another person. The more email you send, the more your digital footprint grows. Since most people save their email online, the messages you send can easily remain online for several years or more.

What was your project and what did you learn? My project was ( Parks and Public Spaces ) We learnt that there were hardly any parks around in our Community and that we have not that much of entertainment for our children's. So we came up with an idea of building or designing our own parks to put in our Community, for our kids to go and have fun on. We thought that building, designing, replacing parks is a good idea because our parks NOW aren't that much of fun.
