Speech- Cons about Stereotypes

    Cons of Stereotypes
Statement: #1
Why are we known for what we are and why aren’t we known for how we are.


Introduction: #2
“When people rely on surface appearances and false racial stereotypes, rather than in depth knowledge of others at the level of heart, mind, and spirit, really says something about our society”

Body: #3
Our minds are lacking a deeper feeling for a number of certain people who are not like us, but the opposite of us. There are a range of cultures in this world of ours, but people are much deeper than “Stereotypes”.

Body #4  
Stereotypes are not only an opinion of our cultures but are lies that are presented by fact. But if its a fact, then there no other options or opinions, just a closed door.
Letting a  simple fact of one individual that has done wrong in your nationality, define you. Because of the conflicts between the colours and threats. Is not you but just one who did wrong.
Body #5 - The abilities it can do
The Cons of Stereotypes, not only has the power of destroying an idea of a person being but has the power to destroy dreams and lifetime goals to the incapable and the impossible. There will always be a negative side, but in this case, the negativity in stereotype has overtaken the positive side, there is no good in stereotypes, just faulty.


Body #6 - To stand out
We shouldn’t live up to our stereotypes, but we should live up to our virtues that we stand by or our mottos, even quotes, just something that we believe in. Our stereotype expectations shouldn’t hold us back.
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is work towards a world where expectations are not set by stereotypes to hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interest.
Body #7 -
The reason why I am against stereotypes, because it’s dull and frustrating and complicated. I don’t need a tape stuck to my head, written in words that is a description and insult to my people.

Body #8 - I dislike the way people make assumptions with no further information, preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.  We are all different, and that is what we should be known for, is our range of abilities and our specialty and flaws. But not by colour, race, nationality, religion and gender but for how we are..
Conclusion #9
Therefore, the message that I am indicating to is, do not become your stereotype or negative stereotype but become something more than your stereotype. Something that you believe in. Crossing the fine line or border, between failures and success.
So do not judge someone else by appearances or stereotype but how they are.   
Conclusion #10
I try and not embrace our stereotypes and I do avoid it, because I don’t want anyone to tell me what I am that I'm not me .
Our goals should be to be ourselves, and to challenge our stereotype and to follow the rules, and to break them, and make new rules. Making a change for once and for all.
Thank you

Brown Brother Speech- Reflection

Reflection about Brown-Brother..


His Speech is based on our Stereotype. He says that colour shouldn't stop us.
He speaks about our Demographic which are Jobs that are unqualified, working on the bottom floors. Teenagers- Drop out- Stereotype being great the arts but hating educational subjects/stuff that could possibly be used in the future. He says, if (we're) I'm lucky I'll have a career in Rugby not to reveal education floors. Then he mention teen pregnancy, which can destroy your future and your child's future.
What he says is truthful, we P.I people are lacking confidence in ourselves, we are wasting valuable time adding to the ground of statics. Blaming everyone but ourselves. And using the glowing words as defensive in a argument saying "You’re A racist"

He questions us, why are we always putting our people to shame. Being the intelligent Polynesia. Will he ever change. Seen or its thought of intelligent, our fights about everything.

We are all the same. We do not belong in the bottom in the food chain. We are cable, keeping our Christian faith. Not being afraid of reaching our goals, making a change of mindset..

Topic Padlet- Speech

I've chose my topic. Which is the Disadvantages about Social Media!
The reason why I chose it because I felt that it was important. We practically live in social media channels. It has affected us, and we've lost our touch in nature. It is time consuming and dangerous at times. But like always, there was foundation that started it.

Expressive Writing

We have been doing Expressive Writing for the last five days. 
This is my best writing so far. It is about the first day of school.

First day of school. 

The thought of school, only made me more depressed. 

I have isolated the thought of school for the past 2 weeks. Until, now. Homework, socializing, participating. Are so overwhelming. To express my dislike for school could only lead to hate. 

But, still. There is a side to everything. Dislikes and likes. 

The perfect word to explain on, how I was feeling was. Nervous. You can never be sure until you try. 

Their were mixed emotions at first. 
A wave of anxiety will attack me at first. Then haunting comments will follow my path. 

Slowly, I will inhale in the open air. All but hope will be there. 

I felt stuck, like if I couldn't breath, speak or swallow. 
Pain demands to be felt.  
Thats what I know. 

Old memories from the past can still affect you in many ways. 
The End

Term 2 Evaluation

Term 2 has finally end! & Sadly we have Mrs Pole, one of our most dedicated teachers who has sever this school for more than 17 years. We wish her the best! 
I have learned so much, learning new Skills in Math and Reading.
______________________________________________
One of the things I thought I have nailed is addition. I am more confident than I used to be and fractions is now more simple. My job is to now push myself up a little bit. 

Reading, my problem is to identify the main idea and to express my thinking by using more vocabulary words. 

Writing, what I am lacking is. Organization, Sentences Structure.  And to put my ideas into each paragraph which is connected to Organization.

My Thoughts:
I personally think I could do better than this term. I plan to be more active and involved for Term 3.

Farewell Mrs Pole

Friday 20th June 2014
Today: Mrs Pole farewell..


Mrs Pole. One of our most dedicated teachers will be leaving.
After 17 years she has finally made the decision to break the cycle.  


At Mass, students from the present and the past has come along to farewell Mrs Pole.


I felt that she inspired us to live a love learning life. To put Education first and to see beauty in things.
Mrs Pole shared many of her talents in the school. Such as Handwriting, English and Art. She was firm and strict. And was known for her famous saying, “ You make my blood boil.”


Watching the Ex-Students come up and say a little about what they have shared with Mrs Pole.I felt that Mrs Pole had a great influence  over the last generation of students of Saint Pius X school. It is hard to forget someone so well-known in our community, who she has supported over the years.


I praise her for her love of reading and having a sense of humor.
She will be dearly missed for her contribution and effort for having the interest in our learning.


I embrace her for who she is. And She will be dearly missed.

Reading Sunshine Online/Finding the Safe..

My Reflection:

On the Sunshine online, I read finding the safe..
It was about a couple of friends who were discovering and having fun during their school holidays..

They made a stop to look at the ways near a cliff where they visit caustically. One of them, started to find coins in the strangest place.  They picked up the loose changes. They hid the money from the two bullies who came up to check what they were doing and forget about the five dollars that were in the bushes and then they hurried away excited on what to do with the money.

Carlo and his dog hurried and race up to the others, seeing the Doris had a piece of red cloth with her. Carlo urge them to come down to see what they found and soon discover a safe filled with hard core cash that layed opened and abandoned.

And only recently there saw someone up there before.

So they take the hands of matter to the cops. The police officer Long said that the money is from a local motor repair store.

But still there was one question to answer, who were the thieves. After delivering back the stolen money there found they were soo uptie on what to do about the money there were awarded with. On the street there were a couple arguing, a man and a women. The women wore a red blouse which that had a torn at the back missing a piece of cloth. So they hurried to the police station with evident's and soon the couple got charge for robbery.

Weaving Island Mat

During the week we were weaving an Island Matt..

We followed the instructions that were given to us on the Procedure writing. We had to identify and add our own recommendation about the piece of writing and question the different areas.. 

I thought what was missing was warning tips and they forget to put into the materials section that scissors and ruler also a pencil were a need and glue to stick everything together. 

It took awhile quite and I realize it was harder than it looked. 


 


Here's Me! ^.^

Kindness is a spark that gleams in each of our hearts. A spirit of warmth and care that shares the unique characters of us.  
Kindness is care, compassion, loving and bear.
Also Comfort but sadly it is rare.
Make it constant to show who is there.
Open up, let it glint and treat all those with care.
Don’t be cruel and shady like, but be the one who treats everyone right.
Make the difference of being kind. Seek for the helpless and weak who needs that sunshine.
Kindness can make a change, kindness is a solution of our endless pain.
Kindness is pure and an act of care for who ever is in fear.
Neglect and pain will all be washed away.
Look forward for the day to participate and pay attention at class and play.  
Treat yourself with care because you are not being fair. Now explore aspect in life and change the way you see things in life.

Happy Mothers Day- Mother Figure..

Why she is a Mother Figure:


“ At Birth a child is brought into this World” every child has its angel that is waiting for them and that angel will be named mum.
My Mother is my oxygen to body, literary. Everyday with her is a day I can live and breath. She is my Sustenance in my body and the water to my seed and vine.  And my Rock and Soul.


Firstly, Having a glimpse of life has only showed me how life was like for my mother. My Mother is my shield. To protect me from whatever’s changeling and unpleasant.


Her unconditional love is immortal, endless and timeless. Her tenderness love and her warmth keeps me proceed to achieve goals in my day. Her approach of being Mother deep, wise and tough. My mother has a great influence over me, she talks as if she has lived for more than a century. Her advice will help me to understand reality.


Lifeless as it gets, she’d promised to make things better. My Mother teaches me to not be rude and to love those who are arrogant, selfish and those who we dislike because of different aspects or features and reasons.

Secondly My Mother is a hard working mother. I have define my love for her and had a vision of what my mother typical day would be. At night, I listen to her doze away and snore. I find it so irritating and annoying that I will nudged her and wake her up to tell her to stop it. But after a saying I chose just live with it. She snores because of her exhaustion of feeding her children, working for hardcore cash and being a mother with so much on her plate.


Thirdly My Mother is a very capable lady. She is flexible with time, organised and stricted. Her abilities are outstanding and I find her goals a inspiration in life. She does not want to sit on her bottom and do nothing for the rest of the day. She loves working in the physical side.
She tells me that “you’re never too old” I laugh and just ignore her thoughts. Her dream is to become more than she is. To live the dream and to restart and reboot in her learning. To start her spiral of learning once again.


She may be brutal and honest. But it is a reflection that she cares.
She sets out rules and chores to get things done. When something is bothering her in a instinct she will remove it. She is very active and supportive and very concern of her children.

I dislike to see her so feed up and mad. It saddens my day to see her like this. I already know that she got enough on her plate and I try to do what right.


Even though I say I hate you? or something that is impulsive and cruel. She knows that words are just words. I’ve said words that are hurtful and dislikeful for a mother to hear. But I have never said Thank you for the past few years of struggle.


Her humor in things are silly and funny but in different situation she has a different personality every time. At times she can be the challenging or entertaining and hilarious . I amuse that the job of being a mother.  


Lastly, There is no woman can replace my mothers place. Whatever Circumstance or position we are in, Bad or Good or Great or Worst. You were there to be a shoulder to cry on and a person to ask for advice. You were there and still you haven’t left. Your one of the strongest lady I’ve met. Throughout your entire life, fate it was. You were my angel from the beginning. This bond and love we share is unique and special it is a relationship that can never be torn apart. She is everything to me, my Best Friend, My Mother or someone I can rely on.  


I wouldn’t say my mum is the best in the world.
But in my aspect and point of view, I see more than a Mother.
I see a  saint, miracle and a gift from God.
You have already given life to me and now I am here blooming and developing to the woman I am today.
Thank you mum :)



“My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.” 
― Jodi Picoult

Milk Investigation!

Milk Investigation!


Types of
  Milk  
How does it        look
What Colour
How does it Pour
How does it Taste?
Aim- Is to look/explore the physical side of Milk


Method-  
What we did was look and explore the physical sides of milk.
How it looks, what colour, how it pours and how it tastes.


I found that Blue top milk & Green top milk had nothing in common beside being a type of milk. While the blue top milk was being poured it was coming out very slowly. It was thick and it formed bubbles as it was settled in the cup.


The Green top milk on the other hand. The Green top milk was poured fast into the cup. It settled elegantly.


As I was exploring the flavours of the blue top milk, I found the flavours quite strong and overpowering. Full fattening and quite heavy.


Green top milk was the opposite. The taste were slim and not very overpowering. I didn’t have any problem gaggling or back washing. But the flavours were very simple. Nothing unique, just plain old ordinary.  
It was very runny and easy to swallow.


Rice Milk and Soy Milk had a few things in common such as, Rice Milk and Soy Milk seem to have to same odour. Soy Milk poured quickly into the cup and seem to mingled around. It formed a few bubbles but not so many.  The taste was slightly a bit strange. Taste like nuts and almonds I believe and tasted like Flour I’ll explain.


Rice Milk was very heavy and tasted thick. Once it hit the back of my throat I felt the thickest sliding down. And was hard to take a sip.  


Uht milk temperature is not cool and cold. Its warm. Uht can stay out and doesn’t need to be put in the fridge. What I’ve learn from that aspect was that it is usually sent to the islands because of the heat over there and also for not owning a fridge.


It was bubbly, light and easy. The colour is pure white and as it poured it was like very noisy.  


Thirdy Milk Powder was the only one that is a solid. It looked very fluffy, it was felt smooth. We dabbing our fingers in the Milk Powder.
It taste like a milk biscuit. And as it poured it was like a penny dropped. It fall straight down.


Personally Condensed milk was my favourite.
It was sweet, sticky like honey and in other words sugary.
It flopped on the plate and quickly settled in by expanding through the plate.
