Life In Tokelau - Perspectives

Life in Tokelau are hard for some people but as for Tolise and puka they've

gotten different perspectives in the way they live. Puka knows how to fish,

weaves baskets,build boats and traditional tokelau houses. He believes that if

he doesn't keep the old ways alive then how will people be able to live if they

can’t fish there own food, build boats and even construct houses.

Tolises life relates to what puka believes. When she returned back to tokelau

to take care of her family, her ways of living in New Zealand was way much

more different in tokelau.So she had to adapt to it quickly in able to take care

of her family. From tolise’s perspective she thought it was hard trying

to get into the old ways of how they live in tokelau as well as puka who tried

keeping the old ways alive so people know how to do this and that, so

everyone wouldn’t be in  a crisis of food or having no shelter.

Key concepts - Globalisation

During my lesson in social studies I have been learning

new vocabulary related to my subject about Globalisation.

Two words that I have learnt are sustainability and Migration.

Sustainability means being at a certain rate or level that

is stable . As an example , your on a lever and you need to

be in a certain place to be stable . That certain place

would be the middle of the lever and there you will find

sustainability. The definition of migration means moving

from one place to another . Birds always migrate due to

the weather changing so they’d have to adapt to the new

place, just like humans when we move to different

countries. As a result I have clearly understood the meaning

of these words and hopefully I would be able to use these

words in the correct order in any writing that relates to my topic.

Anzac day

Anzac day

Anzac day to me means honouring and respecting all the soldiers who died in the war as well as those who survived . Supporting them by wearing poppies is just a remembrance for all those men and women who served in WW1 . It’s important to commemorate Anzac day because as I said, it was a day of remembrance for all the people who died in the war and also to show respect .  In New Zealand we honour Anzac day on the 25th of April with a dawn service as it was the time that most of them had landed on gallipoli. We honour Anzac day by wearing poppies and the reason for that is because during the war poppies grew around the area . We also honour it by making Anzac biscuits as well as small donations .

Science

During the lesson of science with Mrs Kuruvilla , I have learnt about the structure of volcanoes and why they erupt. I’ve also learnt about earthquakes and what causes it to happen. I have been refreshed with the water cycle and all the layers inside earth as well as facts related to it. I’ve also gotten a little idea of how to calculate speed but I’m not fully confident in how to do it. So in the past weeks I've been to science, this i what I've learnt.

Made in Taiwan - Social studies

Nathan and Oscars journey to different islands where to find out if there ancestors originated from Polynesia . During their journey they discovered many things and one interesting discovery was la-pita pottery. They discovered so many other things as well and some of them have to do with the relations in there traditions, language and patterns. The theory of Polynesians originating from Asia are either true or not but there are some similarities that connects Asia to other islands. Such as there traditional dance being a mirror to the Maori culture as well coconuts are known for originally coming from Asia . In my perspective I do believe that Polynesians do originate from Asia. The traditions , patterns and language are very alike to other regions and if I’m right , Asia could be the place where Polynesians originated from.

My logo (Graphics)

As you can see I did a logo design with my initial inside the middle of a headstone and the shape of a club. These are very simple designs and there weren't much meaning behind the logos I made . Although , I did the grave because it was very creative for me even with the shovel that was added as well. The club was just a simple design that I just came up with and then added my initial to make it a tiny bit fancier.
