Metal Works Techknology

For the past few weeks of metal works technology our class had a choice to do either a pizza cutter or cake server. I chose a cake cutter because it could be useful in my house. This took me a bit of time to make it, but I finally finished it on time and now I get to take it home. This was an amazing experience and I enjoyed every bit of it. I am happy of the outcome and glad to take it home. I found this easy to do because I got help from my teacher, Mr Naicker.

Cybersmart

Being Cybersmart

Being cybersmart means to be smart online. For example you see something online that you don’t like has posted, so you go and comment something idiotic or not nice. That is not being cybersmart. If you see something that someone you don’t like has posted and you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. It is always important to be cybersmart no matter what, because it  could affect your future life. For example when you post something stupid or being racist online. You could go for a job interview and they look up your name and see how idiotic you were online. You could lose your job. So leave a positive digital footprint.

             What I Learnt About Being Cybersmart

Through the past few weeks our teacher (Miss Paketama) has taught us about cybersmart I have learnt a lot of Things. I learnt:

1. Not being cybersmart online could affect your future life
2. Being cybersmart can save your life
3. Being cybersmart can leave/save you with a good reputation

I also learnt that being cybersmart online is way on not to hurt people because the outcome could be bad. I can apply these things to my life just in case I do something online that is immature or not right then I can think about these things and it’ll help me do the right thing.

What You Can Do To Help Yourself If You Are Getting Bullied

If you are a person that is getting bullied there are many reasons on how to deal with it, instead of letting it happen or fighting them. I can:

1. Talk to the bully & sort things out with that person
2. You can report the bully
3. Or tell a teacher or someone mature enough to handle it

There are many ways on helping yourself instead of retaliating or getting into a fight because that could go very bad because you will get hurt or the other person will or you could get suspended. It could happen either way so be the bigger person or be mature enough to handle it either by talking to the bully, reporting them or telling someone (teacher or adult).

How To Help Your Friend If They Are Being Bullied

When your friend is being bullied you’ll be angry and would want to beat the bully up, but that could lead to some bad consequences. You could help your friend by talking to them, go with them to tell a teacher or adult, talk to the bully, give them good advice or even try and get them to go to the counsellor or social worker. This way you won’t get into a bad situation.

How To Help The Bully Stop

It’s a choice to be a bully and you can stop being a bully. A person could be a bully because they have family issues, no friends, they could have been bullied in their family therefore he/she takes their anger out on other people or the person could bully people because it makes him/her feel big/strong. Sometimes it takes time and sometimes it takes a person to change a bully. Helping a bully stop what they are doing can include:

1. Talking to them and listening to them
2. Comforting them
3. Supporting him/her through what they are going through
4. Being their friend & showing him/her the right way to do things
5. Giving them advice
6. Giving them attention/showing compassion
7. Or even trying to get him/her to go to the counselor or social worker

These are things that could help change a bully. It may take time but at least it works because doing this is like saving people's lives who are afraid to stand up. You are basically doing them a favor or more like having integrity.

Migration Model

On the bottom is my migration model. This diagram shows the movement of Tokelau and New Zealand. They could migrate because of something positive or bad. This is called a push and pull reason. A push reason means a negative reason for migrating. A pull reason means a positive reason for moving. For example. You could migrate from one country to another to escape the the climate change, because the water is taking over their place/houses. You could also migrate from one country to the other for a better future for your family. This is called a pull reason, because your migrating for a positive reason. This diagram also shows the mainstream flow. This is represented by big arrow which means the people leaving than coming back, that is why the arrow on top is bigger than the bottom. The counter-stream flow represents the people leaving and not coming back, that is why it is small. For example people might migrate from Tokelau to New Zealand. That is called a mainstream flow. People might migrate to New Zealand and not return back to Tokelau, where their from. That is called a counter-stream flow. This diagram also talks about place of origin and place of destination. Place of origin means where you originated/born. Place of destination means where you migrated/travelled to. The diagram also talks about obstacles, which represents something that stops you from migrating. That could be because you can’t afford, you have a visa problem or you can’t leave your family.
