Martin Luther King. Jr Biography.

In our hub we have been doing Biography's on
people we think are great. I have done mine on
Martin Luther king. Jr

Martin Luther King.

Martin Luther king JR was born on the 15 of January 1929 in Atlanta Georgia USA and
was named after his father. Martin went to David T. Elementary school which was segregated.
high school for Martin was at David T. Howard High School and started there when he was only 15 years old,
then went on to Boston University to study medicine and law, and in 1952 meet Coretta Scott and
then a year later married her.

Martin soon strive for racial equality and in 1955 he lead the historic bus boycott in Washington DC
to make bus segregation illegal… Then a year later it became legal for both races to be on the same
bus at the same time.  In 1959 Him and his wife went on a pilgrimage in India to meet Mahatma Gandhi’s
family and at the same time He became co pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church then in a years time
he accepted the role of being a pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church.

In 1964 Martin made history by being the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace award, Then sadly
in 1968 martin was standing outside on his balcony when he was assassinated at 6:01 PM he
was shot by James Earl Ray a Firearm, Martin was sent to St. John's hospital and died at 7:05 PM. Martin
was buried on the 9 of April 1968 at Martin Luther King Jr National historic Park. In 1986 Former president
Ronald Reagan made the twentieth of January Martin Luther King. Jr day a public holiday.

Martin made his own mark in history when in 1964 segregation was made illegal by the supreme
court, no longer were schools, jobs or transport segregated. Martin always Believed In nonviolent Protests
and out of the he got a great change in America.

In Conclusion, I think that martin Luther is great because if wasn’t for his determination and
perseverance Most school’s would be segregated and Racism would continue. To end this biography
I am going to tell you one of his famous quotes,
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Market PBL.

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and
the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.

S for Science

T for Technology

E for Engineering

A for the Arts

and M for Maths

Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using
newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.

Then; make a table that was able to balance M&M’S for the team.
We were much better at the second challenge because we could all use our different skills.

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a Technology Report
using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.

How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?
Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made these candles↓↓↓↓

Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was... selling and buying things from
different stands and getting sold out in 10 minutes.

Next time I would... make more candles with

my team to sell and do a buy two get one half price.

PBL 2018

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas. Culture is……  
Celebrations, Reunions, Where you are from, Traditions, Food, Dance, Clothes, Religions, Holidays.

Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage.
I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do. In Literacy we read and discussed
myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read….
Maui and the sun .

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students
wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked
hard on organizing the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance
and drama.

Reflection:

For our production I contributed by… Being a Narrator.

I think the show might impact on others by… People will learn about this myth

because it is not so popular.

What I learned about working with others was… It can be hard but when the real thing

Happens everything runs smoothly.

Meet at the Marae...

In Reading this week in tumu we have been dong learning about the Maori culture we had a choice to do... a poster , screencastify's or song.  I did mine with my friend Ethan an we did a poster. The reason we are doing this is because we read an article that said the Maori culture needs promoting. We made this poster so that people will come to the Marae and then they'd tell their friends and family,                                        plus there could be Tourist's for NZ.                                    

The history behind Golliwogs (My Speech.)

This week in Tumu we have been doing speeches. 2 Yr six and 2 Yr five kids who had the best speeches

from tumu go to the rotary speech challenge and compete against other people from diffrent

schools. this is my speech and I did not want to go to the competition, My speech is about Golliwogs.

it is down below

I Would you think that such a little doll could make such a  lot of trouble, Well my name’s Jayden and i’m here to tell all about Golliwogs.

A Golliwog is a Fictional Cartoon character from a book called: The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwog in 1895 by Florence Kate Upton.

The first Golliwog doll was made in America in the 1900’s by James Robertson & Son’s

And on the 100th anniversary They made the first ever girl Golliwog.

Golliwogs were banned by the Nazi’s in 1934 because the thought that  it was an inappropriate doll for young German children to

have, and that the body of the Golliwog made it harder to teach young children to wash

The trendy Golliwog became a very popular Doll in UK and Australian the 1970’s and so were many different varieties of

products including… Golliwog Perfume And even Arnotts chocolate Golliwogs There's even Golliwog butter with the slogan “Golly it’s Good.”  

In 2007 In greater manchester Police took two

Golliwogs from a lady’s window

because People claimed that the dolls were offensive

In 2008 a Lady From Stockport greater manchester, said she was arrested for showcasing a Golliwog on her window.

In 2009 carol thatcher said that a coloured french tennis player looked like a golliwog she was also the daughter of and old british prime minister

Nowadays most Golliwog books were taken away from libraries  and less people started buying Golliwogs and they are a racial

hazard in Germany,

Australia, England, Ireland and Greece. Nowadays “wog” is used as a racist word for colored People. but I think that it all

went wrong when Agatha

Christie made and book with a golliwog being hanged on a noose.

From my point of view I think that Golliwogs are a have childrens toy but when adult’s keep it in the attic and your sleeping there and it’s staring at you… that’s kinda creepy, but when a children that’s like five years old then that’s fine. Thank you and goodbye!
