HEXAGONAL LEARNING

Our class were learning about hexagonal learning so our teacher wanted us to try it out and make a video about it.

NELSON MANDELA

Nelson Mandela retired as President in 1999, and when he retired South Africa had problems, and the biggest problem was that people had to be sent away from their homes so they could become slaves for the whites. The whites torture the blacks by busting their houses killing and hanging them. 

From 2004, he gave up politics, to enjoy a quiet life with his family. He was in prison for 27 years, and he got released in 1990 11 February. He had to be kept in prison until he dies, but someone released him. Nelson Mandela also got tortured too, and their are still racism going on in some cities in America these days.

MARTIN LUTHER KING

Marching down the Mall towards the Lincoln Memorial we felt united having a little support from our past enemies. We all held up signs saying that we want freedom and equal rights. “Hurry Zion”, I yelled as we raced to the front of the huge crowed.  I really wanted to see Martin Luther King, “WAIT”, Zion shouted.. Zion sprinted towards me and said “Do you think they won't treat us bad again?”, I whispered in his ear and said “I Think”.

Glancing at Martin Luther king, My family and I held hands as he got ready to say his speech. His Speech started with “I HAD A DREAM”, He was so confident and he had a Big smile on his face. hopefully he made the Whites realized their not the only people in this world. I  turned and looked at the crowd, people were crying and hugging each other, seeing them being emotional mad me cry. My Mum said  “If we're lucky enough we could all have freedom. and nobody got hurt.” that's when I  started to feel happy!

RAINBOW WORRIOR

In 1985 an awful event happened. Fernando pereira was in a ship called Rainbow

warrior as they celebrated the director of the anti-nuclear movements 29th birthday of the Greenpeace. while they were celebrating two french spies wearing scuba gear dived secretly under the rainbow warrior and attached two olympic bombs onto the ship. The two bombs exploded just before midnight leaving Fernando pereira dead inside the wrecked ship.

Two French spies were arrested but three others escaped in a yacht. Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart was found guilty of manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years in prison because of the bombing. They were sent to a small island in the Pacific but in two years, they returned to their countrie. Later the French President told them that he had been involved in the bombing to the rainbow warrior. The French government wanted to stop Greenpeace from protesting their nuclear testing in the Pacific. After That the French government had paid $13million to New Zealand.

The negative impact of the nuclear weapon could affect a lot of people like Death, Radiation, Poisoning, health Problems, Cancer, Birth Definity. Thats why we shouldn't have any nuclear weapons in our world so nobody could get hurt we could have Nuclear Free Zone.

H.A.M.Z

Some octopuses, some fish and a few
mermaids were happily frolicking in a rock
pool. Altogether there were 38 arms, 24 eyes

and 8 tails all swimming in the pool.
How many mermaids were there?

CROSS COUNTRY FUN RUN

Once I walked onto the slippery squishy mud I almost slipped. When Mr Burt came to start the year 8 girls cross country, I had butterflies in my stomach. When Mr Burt held up the syrian that's when I knew it was going to blow. When it was time, he hit the button to blow it and it blew.

The race started, I jogged when we got up to the corner and that was the path that was muddy. I almost slipped when we got up to where the reserve was, Brooklyn threw mud at me when we got past the teachers, but then Mary pushed Brooklyn into the mud and she was muddy from waist up.

Our second lap was even worse I got muddier and School was almost finished, because we started at 2:20 and it was fun and hard, so then me Brooklyn and Ashleigh finished the race together and cross country was over after a few people finished.

That CROSS COUNTRY was way better than the other ones we had.

REFLECTION

The movie that we created is more about detention then love.

Turuhira, Kimberly, Dante, Zion and I created a movie that was about Best friends, we chose a song called Oath by Cher Lloyd. Its one of the best songs about friendship we all decided that it will be fun having a fun and funky music that's has no swearing or other bad lyrics in it.

We decided to take fast shots so each clip won’t be boring, We also use Mr Liufau to be a teacher because he is good at acting and funny to watch. Our movie was not about love, but we needed to add more detail to our clips like lip singing and making the video more clear so everyone can see what actually happened.
