Being globally minded

This displays my learning for social studies in term four. our main topic was being globally minded, you will see below my understanding of the three concepts and my report on the NZ export product I researched. 

 
Economy is a way people spend money and make money but also the economy determines how goods and services are exchanged and made. The pure command economy, the traditional economy and the mixed economy, the economy is a large set of the interrelated production and consumption activities that aid in determining how scarce resources are located.

Trade is the general marketplace involving or transferring the buying and selling goods and services. It is basically the concept of buying and selling of goods and services which have been paid by the buyer or the seller or the exchange of goods and services between companies or parties. Trade is a way you can make a living or the act of exchanging, another example for trade would be like the tea trade where tea is imported by china and purchased in the U.S, trade is kind of like when you can trade one thing or many things in person or over online from other countries around the world.

Globalisation is the movement and exchanges of goods, and services, technologies, companies  or cultural practices from all over the planet. It's also used to describe the growing interdependence of the world's economics and population and it is interaction with people, companies, and the governments worldwide. Globalisation is a process by which people  move simply across the borders. Some examples of globalisation are the food industries, banking industries, and technological growth on a worldwide scale. Globalisation isn't only just an exchange of goods but can also be an exchange of ideas between others in many ways. The more technology, and the more transportation improves.

 For my Nz export product I decided with a partner to research alcohol or wine , because it is a very popular export product around our country and world. Did you know the total worth of NZ export products around the world in 2021 is 130.53 billion dollars. This was how wine became wine. Chemical analyses recently confirmed that the earliest alcoholic beverage in the world was a mixed fermented drink of rice, honey, and hawthorn fruit and/or grape. The residues of the beverage, dated ca. 7000–6600 BCE, were recovered from early pottery from Jiahu, a Neolithic village in the Yellow River Valley.

The top nz trading partners are china, Europe, australia and usa.

Nz Export Product

 

Introduction?

Ko te kaupapa o taku pohi ko Nz Export Product, this Nz Product thing explains and knows where our products have come from and also how much they are actually worth . For example 

Tell us about the NZ exported product you choose to research?

In this project we were required to make a slide and do a bit of research , also answer questions. For our product we had to track where our products came from by using google maps and How much the product  was worth from 2018 to 2021.

How did this research project grow your understanding of NZ exported products?

For our NZ Export product we choose to do alcohol , why? Well, purely because it is a well known product around the whole world, especially for Nz people . Another reason why we chose this product is because it is easy to research and also people enjoy the lack of alcohol, wouldn't you agree with me?.

Conclusion?

In conclusion, overall I very much enjoyed and learnt a lot of interesting and knowledgeable things. Like researching products and knowing where they are sold from and how much they can be worth from 2018 to 2021. 

Creative Writing

 it was ad

It was a dark and gloomy night, in a beautiful forest birds were chirping, lions are roaring, and trees are swaying. In the forest a big mist cast above leaving nothing but darkness. A moon has a raised lighting up the place, sparkly stars shining bright, rivers are glowing, it is so peaceful here like a could imagine. The end

End Of Term Unit (Migration)

During Social Studies for the past few weeks or so, we have been learning about migration, which has been our main subject for this term. Well my understanding for migration would be when people move to a different house but still stays in the same state or people just moving to a different country. I think my understanding for a place would be a particular point in a location or destination. Change is when you can make something or someone different or change states or countries. Most of these concepts relate to how people can migrate from one place to another or change states from one to another. Migrating within our or your whanau is one outside factor, where you learn the whakapapa of it and where they migrate from. I think I found this topic challenging because we had to write a summary with big paragraphs about the migrating things and some were kind of confusing but challenging. All the activities we have been doing these past weeks or so have supported me in my learning by learning where my whanau migrate from or migrating from one country to another and e.c.t. Learning about migration has been really interesting and a fun subject or mahi to work on. It helped me learn about things that include migration within things or outer things

See Ya Simon

 In English, this term our whole class had to read a book called See Ya Simon by David Hill. We had a lot of questions and activities that had to be done about that book. Everyday we had to read chapter after chapter. Once we finished reading the whole book we had to chose an event or scene that happened in the book. My friend and I created a scene where Simon played soccer. Here is my scratch I created.  

CYB Week 7

In English, we have been reading a book about See Ya Simon and how he has MD ( Muscular Dystrophy) . At this moment we had to write an assignment about it.

 

In Maths we just finished a Maths test for decimal place value. I could say I did pretty good but some questions were hard, but in the end I managed to carry on. At this point all we are focusing on is place values, timetables, decimals fractions.

In Science we are basically focusing and learning about waves and energy. I have very much enjoy learning a lot of different types of energy and other things in Science.

During P.E we are just learning the basics on how to play badminton and its movement towards it. Not so long ago (which was last week) we had finished our fitness rotation where we did a lot of running, weight lifting and exercises.

In ESM (Environmental Sustainability Management) - We are planting a lot of plants and trees around the school for our environment. 

In Social Studies, we have been mainly learning about migration and refugee.

Refugee Simulator Game

Kia ora Bloggers,

two days ago in social studies, we played a game called refugee simulator. We all got into groups of three or more. The game started off by only packing 15 things in each of the two suitcases and risking some of their things and having to make tough decisions just to survive. During the game or lesson I have learnt and developed the feeling that families and people have been through these types of situations.

Moving to another country

 Kia ora Bloggers, 

during my social studies lesson, this week we have been learning about moving to another country. Whaea Muritere, gave us a task to learn about finding a random country and research everything we could, and what it'll be like if we moved there. I have learnt that in China the popularity there is 1.398 billion, which is quite a lot, if you think about it. This work kinda reminds me of our last work we did on where our grandparents/ tupuna migrated. This work helps me learn about different or other counties and how maybe you would like to move there in the future. My overall view during this week's work on moving to another country has been really fun and interesting. 

Waitangi What Really Happened

 In social studies, last term we had to watch seven episodes of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and what really happened behind the history of the signing.The one thing I noticed that was generous, while watching the episodes was how the British gave the Maori people, blankets and tobacco.The most thoughtful thing I noticed was when the governor said” He iwi tahi tatou” (we are one people). It was thoughtful because he included all cultures people). It was very fun and interesting learning about the history behind all the episodes of the signing. We had learnt quite a lot how it was back in those days. While watching the parts I was very unsure on why Jack Jones sell a Maori girl to a man and how they sell chief heads as well.

Word Art

Kia ora bloggers, for the past few weeks in English we have been writing a speech. we had three topics we could write about, one was about someone you admire, issues within the schools or outer community and determine creates success. 

About me

About Me

 Kia ora my name is Waiorere, I am a student at BOIC (Bay of Islands College) , I am 13 years old. I have one sibling, and she is a pain in the BUTT!!!!. My favourite subjects would be English and P.E, because it’s so much fun. I also like ESM which is a environmental thing at school, technically all we do is walk around the school watering all the plants and taking caring of the plants. I am really good at playing sports and enjoy learning more skills. My goals for this year are to succeed in everything I do and to proceed to achieve my goal. I really enjoy meeting new people that I haven't met before and getting to know them better. When you get to know me I’m funny, kind, a social butterfly (sometimes), enjoy annoying my friends (in a nice way).One fact about me is that if you become my friend you will probably end up with no food (joking) I’m mostly looking forward to meeting other people and getting to know them more.
