Australian bust fires

 Hello today I have been doing research on the Australian bush fires. we had to get lots of facts about the Australian bush fires. I had not that much fun finding out about some of these facts.  One really interesting thing I learned was 46 million acres  of land was burnt down during the Australian bush fire. 

3 billion animals died because of the Australian bush fire.

They say that lightning caused the Australian bush fire on the Kangaroo Island. 

There were more than 445 people who died in the fire and more than 4,000 people who went to the hospital from to much smoke. 

Over 2,000 homes were burnt down to ashes cause of the bush fire.

During the first week of  the Australian bush fire 1 billion animals died.

The Australian bush fire lasted 79 days and had costed over $103  billion dollars.

Something I really want to know is what was the temperature of the area the fire was in. what more could I add? what was your favourite fact about the Australian bush fire?

wood work term 2

Bonjour this term we did wood work and made a speaker. My favourite part of wood tech was painting the box the speaker sits in. We were told to write on our blog  6 steps out of the 15 steps to make the speaker.  I painted a night sky on the front of the speaker and painted the rest of the speaker black.  I really enjoyed wood work this term and I would love to do wood work again. when we had to put the box together we had to work with a buddy and my buddy was Stella. Me and Stella held each others boxes while we the other had to put glue on the pieces that needed to be glued. Our teacher for wood work was Mr Tish.

 Step 1 was grabbing a piece of wood and putting you name on it.

 step 2 is to mark out where the drill holes will be. 

step 3 is to drill the holes.

 step 4 is to get the back piece of your speaker.

 step 5 is to put your back piece, front piece and two sides together.

 step 6 paint the box once the pieces are all together.

The Dawn raids

discrimination - the act of treating some people unfairly because of prejudice.

prejudice - an opinion that is formed without knowing all the facts.

stereotypes - a standardised and unusually oversimplified  and inaccurate conception held in common by many people.

protest - an abjection or complaint.

social messaging - passing of a message idea from person to person in a community

 learning - demonstrate how social  messages and stereotypes can affect feelings of self worth.

what happened - during 1970's there was a big stereotype that pacific people were over stayers which is a person who stays passed the due time to stay in a different country. it all started when New Zealand when there was not enough people to cover all the jobs so they called up on the pacific and invited them to stay in New Zealand to fill in on the caps. out of the sudden there was a saying that the pacific was over stayers because there was now some people not from  the Pacific who had no jobs so they made the pacific scapegoats and blamed them on problems they had nothing to do with. It got to a point that they were now getting raided in there own houses. the police came at 3am to ask these people to come out with pass ports and visas to prove any rights of the pocific to be in New Zealand. people wore now poisoned until they could get them a flight back to there own country. 

sterotypes - pacific people were overstayers and were taking the jobs. how did the dawn raids impacted nz?   change the laws so no more people were getting raided and ask for proof that they belong in nz.

bastion point what happened ~ in small words in Auckland there was to many houses and no room to make any more. so there was one place called bastion point, bastion point was a small peice of land with no houses or anything on it. there was a group of maori who decided to grow kumara even though it was the wrong time of the year. they also built houses and a mare. the president then got tanks and police to go and  fight against the people who lived there. the people who lived there standed and used passive Resistance instead of violence. the police arrested them and destroyed the land and all they built. it was only 1988 they got there land back.

stereotypes -  that the people of bastion point were taking the land that they were not allowed. that the government was doing something wrong and that he should have not done.
