Financial literacy

For week 7 literacy we worked on the topic of financial literacy. We had a task where if we were given $1000 what we would buy. We had to keep within the budget but we also needed saving plans. This task we easy for some but also hard for others. Some would either go over budget or will have a remainder of money left. This was a fun task in general and was funny to see people stress over what they would want to buy.

 

Times Tables Journey

Today for Maths my friend Ahasi and I decided to touch up on our knowledge on our Times tables. In our Maths books we took it upon ourselves to test us on how well we know our 3 – 12 times tables without any help. Together we accomplished our goals and in the end we were proud of the results. This was a good opportunity because next year I will be in college and it will come in handy.

Island breeze

This morning in the hall Glentaylor school had a performance by a mixed-cultured band of dancers from Hawaii. The name of this band is called island breeze.  This group contains cultures from all around the world like South Africa, Philippines, Tonga and Samoa etc. They were representing different island cultural dances to bring the islands to the rest of the world. Island breeze have been travelling around the world for 6 months to showcase different culture dances. It was a good experience and would love to see what the have to show in the future

Parts of speech

Last week Team tui focused on Parts of speech to have a better understanding on how we can improve on our writing. We had learnt 8 different parts of speech which were Adverb, Adjective, Interjection, Conjunction, Noun, Preposition, Pronoun and Verb. For the first task we had to think of words that can help the sentence make sense. Then on the side we will list down our ideas to compare it to the sentence.

Term Tui probability

Today for maths Team Tui had learned about probability through activities. The first rotation we had was a game called greedy pig. We had to roll a single dice for a number and had to add them up to 50 or more. If we had rolled a 1 we had to restart from 0 and go again. The second rotation was playing cards where we had a sheet of cards we had to pick up for example, a king, a card more than 3 e.g .  The last rotation was flipping bottles. For this game we had to flip a water bottle and tally up our results into our success and failures.

 

Why teachers shouldn’t hit naughty children

 

Ahasi & Kymani opinion on why Teachers shouldn’t hit naughty children

In my opinion Teachers should not hit naughty children because sometimes hitting them would make them even worse. Teachers shouldn’t hit naught children because it is against the law and it is illegal. Teachers should not be allowed to hit naughty children because it is abusive and because it can cause damage to children.

Teachers shouldn’t hit naughty children because it will then teach children to use acts of aggression and violence to solve their problems. When Teachers hit naughty children it can lead to physical injury and health problems. When you hit naughty children it can give children a message that hitting others is an okay way of dealing with strong feelings.

If you do not have permission to verbally or physically abuse a student or someone, Don’t.

I say that teachers should not touch students unless they are using self defense. If teachers think they are teaching with violence they aren’t. 

Teachers should not have the privilege to lay their hands on you. If a teacher is allowed to hit students we should be able to fight back in defense.  Can your boss hit you for wrongdoing? No, that’s illegal. It is child abuse.  A child can be traumatized from a teacher’s action and will have to live with the fact that they had an abusive teacher. Abuse does not help with kids if they don’t listen and makes it worst.

Youth law says that it is illegal for teachers to do any physical punishment.
