Where were you born?


How far have some students travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS?
Sifa has travelled 1,750 kilometres all the way from Tonga to Waikowhai Primary School
Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?
Maybe so that they can raise there kids and so that their kids can come to school.
Is this a trend in NZ society? What does media tell us?
This happens a lot because some families over seas find that they can have a better future and that they can live in a better country. Some people do this because they know that after studying they probably might not have a chance to find a job.

Here is a video that we listened to about some views that were told about their backgrounds and racism : https://vimeo.com/182020903
I find the video a good video to those who are teasing and who are using racism about other peoples cultures or how different they are to other people. Please watch this video and see what you think.

MOTAT MUSEUM


Computers Computers Computers


Today in Cyber smart, we learnt where all the objects inside our computers came from. We had to look up on the internet what all the different objects are made of or what they are made in. We had to research about all of them around the world. My objects were speakers and computer keyboards. All these pins represent where about the objects are from.

Stop. Think. Report

Today our Cyber smart teacher James taught us how to react if someone said something nasty to us even if it didn't happen just yet. Here is a demonstration on how I would personally react. Here is a scenario I came up with. If someone actually commented something nasty, I would just straight away report it to someone who I know will listen to me. I will report this to my parents or to my teacher.
