Year 9 STARS Camp

On Monday & Tuesday the year 9's went off to camp at Hunua Falls. We weren't excited because well it was only 2 days and we thought it wasn't going to be good. But we thought wrong. It was SOOO fun that even today we still talk about our memories from the camp. My Highlight of the camp was the Confidence Course. It was a course that wasn't to work on our confidence, it was a mud course. It was very disgusting, but it was fun at the same time. My low light at camp was the 10k hike. But I actually enjoyed it a bit. The thing that sucked was that it was a 2 day camp and i wished it was longer. But overall I loved camp.

Social Studies - Migration

Mrs Robertson came into our Social Studies class to talk about her Migrating from Samoa to New Zealand. She talked about how different living in New Zealand than living in Samoa was. She also talked about her main purpose on moving to New Zealand. The reason why is because her parents wanted to build a 'Palagi House' in Samoa. She worked hard and she achieved that goal of hers. She had difficulty learning how to speak English properly. I think that Mrs Robertson story is similar to most Pacific Islanders migration stories, but her one was interesting because when she earned the money for her parents to build a palagi house in Samoa, she didn't just stop there she continued on....

Social Studies- Tokelau Migration

My migration model shows on how Tokelau people are moving to New Zealand. The main reason about them moving is for their kids education, Plenty more jobs and more health support.

Health

In Health we had to create our own Health Model. I did a Netball court because that is one of my favourite sports. The words surrounding the court are words that represent my health. The reason why I chose those words are because...

Culture: I'm proud to be my culture and I'm respectful to other people's culture
Church: Church is my number one priority in life.
Honesty: I chose honesty cause that is one of my values i stand for
Loyalty: Loyalty is one of my values
Faith: Faith is also another one of my values.
Sports: Sports is another one of my priorities
Exercising: Keeps me fit and healthy
Food: The food I eat is part of my health as well
Bravery: Bravery is another one of my values I stand for

Health

We have been learning about the 4 walls in Health class. Heres some of the work ive been learning about

Health - Miss Dougherty

4 Walls:

• Spiritual (Taha Wairua) - Family, Friends, People, Social Media
• Physical (Taha Tinana)- Movement Exercise, Body, Food + Drink

• Mental/Emotional ( Taha Hinengaro)- Mindset, Mental State, Feelings

• Social ( Taha Whanau) - Values, Religion, Important, Beliefs.
• 
  

How the 4 walls associate in my life:

Snapchat, Instagram = Social - I can communicate with friends I don't have time to hang with

Eating = Physical - I use my body to put the food in my mouth and chew it with my teeth

Listen to music = Mental/Emotional- The lyrics makes me emotional or mental

Getting Baptised = Spiritual - It's important to my religion

I feel alot of emotions throughout the day. It depends who is around me.
