Spectacular Speeches!

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

This week at school we are doing speeches. Our speech topic is the topic we have chosen for our PBL My speech is about racism. The main topic is what is racism and how we can stop it. Here is my intro:

“Hating people because of their colour is wrong. It doesn’t matter what colour does the hating. Its just wrong” - Muhammad Ali.

Hello. Today I am going to be sharing my speech on racism and how we can stop it.  Racism happens in lots of places and it happens more than you would think. A lot of people think that racism is a dying thing but to many people it is something they experience everyday.  I think that it should be our mission to put a stop to racism.

Thanks for reading and I will update you with more about my speech later!

Discrimination Art!

As you may know for PBL this term we are focusing on discrimination!

One of the tasks we had to do is to make some art. This art had to have a picture of us and a quote that inspires us about some sort of discrimination. Here is a picture of my art!

I really like my art and hope you do to!

Our PBL For This Term!

Welcome back to my blog!

This week the teachers in our hub have launched our PBL. The question for our PBL this term is;

How can we speak up against discrimination? 

During the launch our teachers have taught us about different types of discrimination that people in our world experience on a daily basis. Some of these include, Sexism, Ageism and Racism. The teachers made small scenarios that would make us learn about this. One scenario that they did was making all the boys sit  on chairs and all the girls sit on the floor. When they did this I felt annoyed because they got to sit on a chair which in our hub is normally a privilege.  

When the teachers introduced this terms project they also told us about how we would present it. We are going to live stream on multiple platforms and share our projects. Some of the project ideas were things like a speech, ted talk and  a podcast. They also introduced some sub questions. Some of these are:

What are human rights?

What are  the different types of discrimination? 

Comment Question: Have you ever felt discriminated against? If so tell your story. 

Thanks for reading! See ya next time!

PBL Teaser!

Welcome back to my blog!
This week I am going to be talking about our PBL for the term. This term our big question is...... "What is greatness?". We went to lots of different workshops about great people. We had to write a biography about a great person as well. You can go and find mine on my blog if you want! Then we started learning about the digi awards. The digi awards are a competition that goes on every year.   You make a digital piece of work that answers or shows the main idea. Then they have awesome prizes for the winners! We are making our PBL and having our own digi awards then we are going to submit them into the competition. I am in a group of three with Ella and Ruby.

Values Summary

Welcome back to my blog!
A few weeks ago we started talking about our school values! We have four values they are Respect, Compassion, Service and Integrity.  These are important to our school because these are the values St Francis of Assisi showed.

Respect 
Being respectful means looking after your belongings, others, yourself and the environment.

Compassion 

Compassion means motivate people to go out of there way to help other people.

Service
Service means to serve our school by doing the right things and volunteering without asking.

Integrity   
Integrity means being honest and having strong moral principles and doing things without people asking.

These are some ideas that my group came up with.
Comment Question: What is a value you live by or relate to?
