Zimbabwe: Child Labour Reflection

After researching about Zimbabwe, I had found out that Child Labour in this country is a big problem. Instead of children having a normal childhood playing around and attending school, they're are attending work. The kids in Zimbabwe are abandoned by their parents with these children becoming orphans. They are then left to fight for themselves so they end up working, with no school education. Kids in this country aren't given any education because they can not afford books, uniform and other school equipment. These kids are even forced out of schools to leave and start working. With these children work long hours every day with cotton plantations, tea, sugarcane, as well as fishing industries. During work they are put in a lot of danger, experiencing physical injuries and mutilations from the machinery they work with. But one effect that I feel is really bad is the pesticide poisoning because 40,000 kids die from it every year.

But even though things look really bad for the kids in this country, there are organisations that are trying to prevent child labour and try and get people to donate money to them, to help these kids survive. These are two organisations, that are trying to prevent child labour, UNICEF and World Vision.

After finding out so much about Zimbabwe, I have realised how lucky I am and am very thankful for everything I have in my life. I might not have the best things in the world, but I have a school education, have a family and just, a chance, something that isn't just given to many children in Child Labour.

Maori Reflection

Today in period 2 we had attended our Maori class,Te Reo. In class Whaea had first told us about respect when others are talking and just respect for the culture.After that we went around the room saying our  name and then introducing the person on your left in Maori.This was what I had to say.......

Tena Koutou Katoa
Ko Tauola ahau
I taha maui
Ko _____Tenei
No ______ ia

After this we finished that,we watched a video with some Maori students from our school,present there mihi and then ended the class off with another video,that had 2 people singing a short Maori hymn.

Science: Cells and Bacteria

This slide displays on what I have been learning so far in science at school. We have recently been talking about cells and bacteria, so here's a slide to display what I have learnt. By the way I have done this slide with my group, :Rave,Loloma and Quasia. Thank you.

Science Reflection

Today,I had alot of classes but in science a few people from my class,9KLe,had been selected to be filmed during our science lesson,The people that were Alisi,Sarah,Paige and I. During our science lesson we had been filmed while learning a bit about the human eye.We had learnt about the parts of the eye like the retina,cornea,lens,iris and etc.We had also learnt about the purpose of those parts and just about why they were there.The class didn't go on learning about the human eye for too long because we had to finish the period off with 20 minutes of SSR,but that's when we had ended the lesson and recording the video.
