My speech on labelling and stereotyping

Labelling, everybody does it. Not just in my world, but in your world too put your hand up if you have been labelled 1,2,3,4,ok you can put your hand down.  All the people that just put there hand up you will connect with this story. Close your eyes and imagine this. I was eating my lunch and the bell rings. My hand sped up and then I got let go. My body raced to my bag to put my lunch box away. My body sped to the field. A boy said you are too fat and pretty to play soccer. Hold on, girls and boys can play soccer. You are never too old, too fat, too pretty, too unfit to play soccer. You can open you eyes know.

 

 

The worst of being judged is that so often you want to say something back but that means that you are just as mean. An example of stereotyping is when girl might say to a boy, “boys can't play netball!” But that is a BIG FAT  lie because at winter sport I have seen a boy playing netball. Another example is when a boy might say to a girl, “you can't play rugby!” and that's a BIG FAT lie because Sophie, Izzy and Olive play rugby for winter sports. You are 100% being mean if you label people. Boys and girls can play any sport and they can do anything with there life because it is not your life it is there life. So don't judge people because everybody was born to be awesome not to be perfect. If you see someone that you have never meet before. you should  think twice before you say something to them. Treat other people how you want to be treated 

 

When you get  labeled It is like a tornado is hitting your heart, it is also like a volcano is erupting in your heart and your heart is scattering like the car window when you have to a crash. What label would you give yourself. My label that I would give myself is a singer and actor . Do you know some of the teachers at Waimairi school are young and some of the teachers are old. They are not young like me they are in maybe they're 20 or if they are old but not like your nana or grandad maybe in their 30’s or 40’s

We are not trying to name people or anything but even now they might be old not like your nana or grandad or they might be young not like me, in their 20’s, but they still join in on same games like soccer, seaweed, cricket, farmer farmer so you are really never too old to play any sport.

 

  

Camp letter

Dear Lu.

Thank you for helping me when I had no drink bottle and you gave yours to me I really thankful that you did that for me.I Would also like to thank you for coming on camp because if you did not came on camp we would not be able to go to the hot pools and do all of the activate.

My highlight was that all of the boys encouraged me, and all of the girls.

A challenge for me was  when we had to bike up the big hill.

I learnt that if you believe in yourself you will get much Further in Life.

I showed a growth mindset when I did not want to go down the hill but I did.

Kind regards 

Larrisa.

Discovery time Reflection

    15.03.2016.                            

This discovery time I did friendship bracelets with Kiri, Sharnika, Ruby, Summer, and Vanessa. 

I did it in Room 12.

   

The role I played was helping Summer, Ruby, and Vanessa with their friendship bracelets because they found it hard at the start but they got it in the end. 

A strategy I used was I tried something new. I also watched an expert. I used them because I have never done a friendship bracelets before.

Something new I have learnt is how they make the bracelets in the  shops.

A challenge I found was to hold the wall tight so the bracelet did not get loose   because  otherwise it would get all loose   and then I would have to  start all over again  and that would waste my time with finnish  my bracelet .

I showed a growth  mined seat when it got to  hard  for  me and  I said I want  to do something else  I stop and tort about it and said to myself  I will keep doing my bracelet so I did .

Next discovery time I would like to try something new with other people that I have never worked with before because I will get to know them more than what I  know them now.

Overall that was fun to make and the people I worked with were fun to work with. 

Proud Writing

I was 7 yrs old and I had a competition. My hip hop group came first. I was bouncing with excitement. So were my mum, dad, sisters and my cousin. It was at the Zion studio. All of a sudden I see some year eight intermediate kids step up on to the stage and then they started to dance. We ran onto the stage in excitement and started to dance. 

I felt excited because it was the first time my group had came first against  year  eight intermediate kids. 

I felt normal on the outside but excited on the inside like a tomato exploding.

Term 1 reflection

Term 1 we have been 

Playing beat games like concentration,

We were learning about pumanawatanga, 

Jono came and taught us some musical term,

Mrs Bentall taught  us musical games at Monday meet up 

He waka eke noa,

A struggle for me was when we had to do it in time with the drum because  I did not understand the purpose of beat but now I do because of my two teachers Fiona and Kiri.

I am at a relational level

because I can identify beat in many contexts and I understand the purpose of it.

My next step is to able to reflection on my role.

Overall it was fun and I learnt the purpose of beat and pulse .

14-6-2016 Discovery time reflection

  

Today at discovery time I made oobleck

for 10 minutes. I made oobleck with Ruby, Jessika and Pippa. Brook, Lucy and Rosemary were leading it. Then after 5 minutes Will, Leon and Liam joined in. Then I had to wait for them to catch up. My struggle was when all the corn flour ran out I had to use plain flour and so it did not work as well. I could improve by getting more corn flour. I achieved how to make oobleck because I have never made oobleck before. My growth mindset was when it got too clumpy I was going to give up but I stopped and thought to myself I should keep going. I learnt that if i push the boundaries I can actually get somewhere in life.

Spotlight Cam

                                       

“Are you scared of the dark?”... because I am. Some people think it is funny but everyone is scared of something.

We played spotlight on the last night of camp. Before we went outside I was scared frozen. When Kiri and Fiona said “be quiet” all I thought of was I'm going to fall over and hurt myself. But do you know what, I did not even hurt myself one bit.

Kiri said “go”. I thought to myself where should I hide.? I looked around I ran to where a tall tall tree was, then I ran behind a plastic chair, and l just got there in time .

All I could hear was spotlight, spotlight ,spotlight, over and over again. I ran to a wooden table, spotlight got called I asked “me?”  and Bronte’s dad said “yes you”. I ran back to the start .

And I did it all again over and over again. At the end of the game there was so much blood it made me want to barf. When we went back to our rooms Ruby and I  started to laugh, that is how fun it was. I wish that you were there .

My Reflecting 

For this piece of writing I have used

a hyperbole. My hyperbole was “at the end of the game there was so much blood it made me want to barf”. I used a strong verb, instead of using “I was cold”, I used “before we came outside I was scared frozen.”

My fabulous Room

                                             
The first thing I see when I enter my Room is my bright chair rocking gently .

it makes me what to poranse more into my Room so I did it and I see my my Extreme light buren’s my eye as it hangs over top of me and then I see my painting that is hanging on my blue wall .

 my smooth table standing as still as an house .

I see my calm bed as still as ice and I said to myself I have just got to lie on that makes me what to exit my room that is intrsting

POPCORN

                                      

What do you think when I say popcorn?

When the popcorn maker was on it sounded like a hair dryer.The popcorn boosted up into the air like a volcano’s lava .I tasted the popcorn it was crunchy and soft at the same, but it was also plain. The popcorn reminds me of polerstiring when I touch it . The popcorn smells and reminds me of when butter is melted. Overall the experience was fun and the popcorn was yum.
