What it means to be "Successful"
For me, successful means to try your best to finish your work, at least pressure yourself and try challenging thing. I try to challenge myself and put lots of effort towards my work, for me being able to put lots of effort towards my task i have to focus. If i keep on focusing more I would rather finish it on time or overdue. My goals is to at least receive all the awards at the end of 2020. I wanna be successful because I reckon that this would lead me far into life.

Democracy System in NZ
In New Zealand we have a democratic system of Government, this mean that people who are NZ citizen, 18+ years old are be able to vote for who will represent them in government. This happens every 3 years and we are able to vote for who will represent us. In NZ we have a house of representatives, it contains at least 120 seats for 120 MP (member of parliament) they would make important decision for our country.
I'm grateful to live in a democratic country because we have the freedom to choose who can govern our country.

Donova Janse Story of Migration

This is my model I made explains Donova Janse journey from South Africa to New Zealand. It's explaining his Push reasons and his pull reasons. He had a rough life in South Africa, so he decide to move from his place of origin to a country of destination. He didn't like the way he was getting treated in his country. He was going through challenging obstacles. He had a choice of career being a Rugby player for Springbok or being a teacher. He didn't have a chance to become one of those, so he decided to come to New Zealand to begin a good life.
The mid year of last year he came to Auckland, New Zealand. He brang his son with him for 6 months. He wanted to bring his whole family to New Zealand but it was to much obstacle to bring them into New Zealand. After his migration he had sad news that his father has passed away. Donova was sad and he had no choice but to stay in NZ. His son went back to Africa and Donova was sad that he was gone, Donovan is the only one in New Zealand out of his family.
He's having a good life as a teacher at Tamaki Primary, he just wants his family with him so he can be more happier.

Meeting with Client
Today we had a important meeting with our client "Mr Grunde". We had design which would be transfer to a white blank wall, the reason why we had a meeting with Mr Grunde because he has a class with a plain blank white wall outside his building. We showed him our design, he was looking through them and he liked the style of the font and also the images. He gave his opinion, he said "Use the KISS principal", (Keep, it simple, Stupid!)Mr Grunde was still looking through, he was giving us some feedback and we agreed with him. He was happy with the amount of effort we put into our work and he can't wait for our design.

Climate changes which is affecting Kiribati
Climate changes are really dangerous, this can cause lots of death and it will
affect people's island, country or land. In Kiribati there was a little boy that was
really fascinated of the waves, he realised that his family had no drinking water
, they were drinking water from a well which contains sea water. He then
notices that the waves were not fun and he is still afraid of the roaring waves.

Now let's get into business, people are forced to move out of their house due
to there house being destroyed by waves. They are adding more greenhouse
to warm up their island. Many people in Kiribati believes that they will stay in
Kiribati for learning, but they are asking the to move somewhere else.

My point of view is that they need to care of their land and be more cautious of
their residents, citizen and population. This is nonsense behaviour that they are
doing. I recommend that people should donate as much food product and
money to Kiribati so their land can be safe and more secure.

Kiwi Can last lesson.
Monday was unfortunately our last Kiwi can lesson, we had classes through out the year every week. We had lessons about how to be respectful, positive and ETC. We had to choose any game we want to play. We decided to play Multi sports. Multi sport is a game where there is 2 teams, a person yells out any number of player, they have to choose which sports they have to play, they have to at least get a score to retain a win of glory.
So that's what we done. We were playing for 45 minuets, it was funny when we were playing because people were harassing people to play probably. We had to head back to class to end our Kiwi Can lesson. They announce the winner for Term 4, it was Room 10, We weren't disappointed we were just happy.

Glow in the dark information
My information report is all about glow in a dark. I’m talking about how toys glow in a dark. Glow in the dark always satisfies little kid as well. Glow in the dark is such a wonderful toy to gift over to a kid, it’s because kids have time to look at the amazing, satisfying.
Glow in the dark is sold in store, there are really cheap glow in the dark set of toys at the store. But unfortunately they don’t produce much glowing. Expensive products shows good progress and better quality. It depends on how the product are made,
Glow in the dark has heaps of ingredient and chemicals to form glow in the dark. There is glow in the dark stickers that you can stick up in the ceiling so in the night when everything is dark you get look up at the ceiling and have something for you to look at.
Natural phosphors are in your teeth and finger, it glows after absorbing energy from black light. Zinc Sulfide is great mixing into plastic to make glow in the dark toy. Strontium aluminate is really expensive, glow sticks works by chemiluminescence. It mean that light is produce as a chemical reaction.
Matariki Explanation writing
Matariki is a signal of the Maori New Year, it’s the renewal and the celebration in New Zealand. This symbol’s the seven sisters or known as the pleiades.
Matariki is a star cluster which appears in the night sky in mid winter. Also Matariki is not known as a constellation it’s known as a star cluster. There are over 500 stars that are in space, the stars looks like they are close together, but actually they are far apart when you are in space. There are only 6 or 7 stars that are visible for us to see from Earth. They are Tawhirimatea, Tupu-a-rangi, Waipuna-a-rangi, Waiti, Tupu-a-nuku, ururangi, and waita.
The relative teenage stars were born together in a nebula at about the same time. Nebula is a cloud of dust in space, some other nebulae are where stars are being born. The young teenage stars is blue, they are much gigantic than our Earth sun. Blue stars are the hottest, yellow are medium hot and red are cooler.
The foggy white that is surrounded around the seven stars can be seen with a telescope. The hazy light that is connected to the stars together is the nebula. Matariki is not on the same day every year, Matariki is usually celebrated some years. It’s because from our perspective Matariki is behind the sun.
Around the whole entire world matariki is name after plenty of culture. The Greek name is the Pleiades, in Japan it’s called Subaru and in china it it Mao. The Maori use the stars and the moon for calendar, each phase of the moon signal the Maori to do their favourite thing, example planting and fishing.
