Reuben's Blog

Hello, Today I will be sharing with you my first main point for my speech and as you know if you have seen my Speech Topic blog I have put my introduction and now I have done my first main point. It is about Hitler and what he did that was so terrible. Intro  Picture this you get woken up by the sound of loud sirens, two men smash down the door and are carrying huge guns they tell you to get your pyjamas on and step into this massive chamber. Suddenly this weird white kind of fog comes in under the door and through the two small vents, its gas, you struggle to hold your breath, you wonder why is this happening to you? should it happen to you? What do you think ? What would you do ? Hi my name is Reuben and today I would like to share with you my thoughts about racism. First point:  Hitler, Hitler is a perfect example of racism. He came up with a crazy idea to breed a society that he believed was ‘superior’ and was of pure blood. He believed that the race had to...

Hello, This weeks blog is about technology and what we are doing. I am doing food and it is great because you get to make healthy and delicious food. This week we made burgers. First we had to make the burger patty. After that we picked out what we wanted in our burger I picked cheese, tomato sauce and lettuce and finally it was time to get the patty and the burger bun. It tasted really good. Have you made a burger before ?

Hello, As you know if you read my last blog post, this Term our focus is on Discrimination. So for this week we have been doing some art and we could chose either to put a story of our own or use a quote. We also had to include a logo of our own with a slogan. The last thing we had to include was a photo of ourselves. Here is my art: I chose to use a really cool quote on racism and draw my logo that I also found on the internet and my slogan. We had to use a app on our computers to edit out our background and then to make the photo look cooler we used another app called Lunapic. I hope you enjoyed this blog and my art. check back for more later. Have you experienced discrimination ?

Hello, In Kaupeka hub our PBL is about how we can speak up against discrimination. I learnt that there was different types of discrimination like Racism, Sexism, Ableism and Religious discrimination. We had to pick a topic either Racism, Sexism, Ableism and Religious discrimination, then to pick if you were going to show it in a Ted talk, Drama, Podcast or a Poetry Slam. Then you can chose a peer or just go solo and I chose a peer. Logan and I chose to do a Racism podcast. I think this is a good PBL question because discrimination is just getting worse and worse. Have you ever been discriminated against ?

Hello, Last week we had our school cross country. I didn't do it because I fractured my shoulder and it hurts when I run. But in my age group they did really well. My cousin Flynn came first, Ethan Beater  ( link to Ethan's blog ) and Ben got third. But I got to be a marshal which was fun. Have you had your Cross Country ?

Hello, For the past two weeks we have been learning about speeches and writing them. This is my introduction and my topic, I hope you like it. My Speech Picture this you get woken up by the sounds of loud sirens then two men smash down your door with massive guns telling you to get your pyjamas on and get in this massive chamber. Suddenly this weird white kind of fog comes in under the door and through the grills, its gas, you struggle to hold your breath, you wonder why is this happening to you, should it happen to you. What do you think? What would you do? This is just one extreme example of racism that happened against the Jewish community in Germany many years ago. This is totally disgusting behaviour and it was lead by an extreme leader called Hitler. He wanted to breed a society that he believed was ‘superior’ including how you looked. He only wanted blonde hair and blue eyed people discrimination happening in our world today. Now I guess you are wondering why I have b...

Hello, On Thursday the 4th of April I had the Canterbury Primary Sports Swimming competition. I competed in the 50m Freestyle. This was held at the at the Sewlyn Aquatic Centre. My race started at 12:29 but it didn't start till later. The freestyle race was called and I was felling pumped, when we got there I could see my friend Tom from Rawhiti school. I was in the second heat lane 8 I had a pretty bad race but I am not sure what place I got. Overall I really enjoyed it and I hope I get the chance to do it again. Do you like to swim ?
