Reflecting on Treaties between countries, specifically between Aotearoa and Britain.

 16/2/24
So first off, we all should know about 'Treaties' and stuff like that between countries, right? Well, why bother doing or coming up or even making a peace treaty with a country that you won't care for? Especially for the people living in the country too. Specifically the Native people, Tangata O Te Whenua. Because if you're gonna colonise or take over a country which is not morally rightfully yours, which you shouldn't (pointing at the Prim minister and the government). At least respect the people who have the right over the country FIRST, and respect their land and culture. 

Why bother a Treaty, when you won't follow it? Why come up with a treaty, when you won't respect it? So, if anyone reads this and agrees with me on this, then you'd understand where I'm coming from. As a native, I am also upset and obviously fed up with the government just like anyone else who understands this and what I am trying to do or say. So basically my point is, why do a treaty when or if you're not gonna ACTUALLY stand with your word and agreement?

Radio Show Learning Reflection

Radio show-

So, a Radio show is basically like a Radio like for example...In your car, there's a radio, and the radio has some stuff like, shows or stuff people talk about, like what the show's about? Things like that, and music, some music has some shows or whatever on it, if you can understand what I am trying to say. (If you can I am so glad because basically nothing I say/type on here doesn't make much sense but anyways-).

Link to our segment of our radio show.

And of course there were some challenges (for me), and difficult things too. 
Like, figuring out what buttons to use while editing the recording, knowing what to do, and acting like you know what you're doing so that others don't have to waste their time on trying to help you out on simple things...Or that's just me-
But anyways, those were the most difficult things for me, which I find obviously challenging, and if I had another time to do this...I'd still not know what to do, but I did try whenever I could, but things like that are hard for me.

 Collaboration Skills: (For me) Honestly...Not that good at all, I only worked with one person that was in our group while making this (mostly). I did do some stuff with others, but not as much as I am supposed to, I guess. But I did find my way with some things, but not enough to help out as often.

Communication Skills: (For me) I was kind of alright but the rest of my group were better at it than I am.. But I did like asking some questions about what we were doing (only at the right time) sometimes, even though I could've done better, but I did try and I hope that's just about enough for my group.

And I kind of enjoyed making this project, I mean like, I didn't mind holding the microphone and asking some questions to some people while making some recordings, but over all, I think it was alright. (I really do need to do more, I know, but I just don't think that my brain is smart enough for this-)

The boy in the Striped Pyjamas

 In John Boyne's novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, an important relationship is the one between Bruno and Shmuel. This relationship helped me to understand a key message, which is to be kind and not judge others.

Bruno and Shmuel don't really understand what is going on but they are happy to find a friend. When Bruno told Shmuel that Germany was superior to Poland, he quickly changed the topic, because, "...even as he said the words, they didn't sound quite right to him and the last thing he wanted was for Shmuel to think that he was being unkind to him." This showed that Bruno was thinking about how Shmuel would feel and that he doesn't want to hurt Shmuel's feelings.

Later, Bruno betrayed Shmuel by saying to Lieutenant Kotler that he didn't know Shmuel. Afterwards Bruno felt ashamed and regretful and apologised to Shmuel, "I'm so sorry, Shmuel. I don't know why I did it. Say you'll forgive me." This showed that Bruno really cared for him and felt sorry and very bad for Shmuel and didn't want Shmuel to think that he was being unkind.

At the end of the novel, we see that their relationship is now a stronger and emotional bond, even though it did not last very long. Bruno even said to Shmuel, "You're my best friend Shmuel, my best friend for life." Bruno and Shmuel were actually true friends who stood by each other's side no matter what, without judgement, cruelty, and unfairness.

Through the novel, the relationship between Bruno and Shmuel develops from strangers to true friends due to their genuine nice personality and kindness, even though they weren't supposed to be friends in the first place, since Shmuel is Jewish. In spite of this, Bruno didn't really care about it since he had no intention of being cruel or unkind to Shmuel. This relationship helped me understand a key message in the novel, that kindness, and loyalty are one of the most important key things in life. In my opinion, this was a sad story because the society at the time did not approve of their friendship and beliefs.

Summer learning journal.

 

Since 184 years ago, Katsushika Hokusai's work, AKA the as the " Great wave ", has been mobilised as a symbol of not just Tsunamis, but hurricanes and  planes crash into the sea. In each of these, it is the sense of arrested movement that makes the wave comes alive. ( All of this was from google :> )
