How can we speak up against discrimination?
For pbl this term our driving question is how can we speak up against discrimination? The stereotypes that we are learning are, sexist agblism ageism and racism,  my self I think that discrimination is terrible and it needs to be fixed as soon it possible, and you might now see it but it is defiantly going on in the world.  Here are some of our sub question?

-What are Human rights?
-What are the different types of discrimination?
-What is discrimination?
-what does an up stander do?
-what are stereotypes or bias?



What do you think about discrimination?

Our question for PBL is...What is greatness? we went to lots of different works shops about great people. My group has decided to make a website with different kinds of greatness videos ad other things. We also made our own videos of being great! Just like picking up rubbish or helping someone, those small things do matter and they are great!  Our hub has to preform our Digi awards next Tuesday from around 6 till 8 at night!

Kindness t-shirts

On Friday the 15 of march our school was working on kindness t-shirts. when have to make a design and they they pick out the best design and  put it on a t-shirt. In the office at school we have a jar and if you see someone being kind or someone sees you being kind, they get a piece  of paper write down why they were kind and what they did to be kind, then what  you put the piece  of paper in the jar in the office. The first name being pulled out of the jar will be at a assembly, i'm not sure when they will be pulling someone name out but it will definitely be before the end of the term!

This is my design so far (not finished)


What something really kind you have seen someone do?

Swimming lesson 2019

For the past two weeks we have been doing swimming lessons, When we got there I was a bit nervous but pretty excited. I got in to the middle group, I did not want to do the top group cause they were like doing butter fly and so many lengths, it looked pretty hard. It had been 1 week done and it was Wednesday, swimming lessons was done and it was time for fun, On Wednesday  we did the life jackets everyone had a life jacket and we were just swimming with them on and playing games. It was Thursday it was time for the boat, on Thursday we wore life jackets again, but there was a boat.
Everyone got on the boat and we all had to fall backwards of the boat . Then we swam under the boat it our life jackets, It was Friday PYJAMA DAY! Every had pa jams in the pool, it felt really weird,
Everyone got split in to group, I started with the safety type, We had to pull people into the water with this rope. It was quiet fun, And then I moved onto the another side, the side that we played games on

Do you enjoy swimming lessons?
