Wise Words / W2 / SLJ

This year 2019 / 2020 our summer learning journey topic is change makers. Today i got asked to identify someone in our life that has been a role model to us. I have chosen my teachers Mr Wong and Ogilvie. My teachers feed back was to never let an opportunity pass you by. Always grasp what comes your way with both hands. It may never come around again and then you'll never know what might have been. Its not always about succeeding it's more about trying.  Also to See and experience as much of the world (not just NZ) as you can while you're young. Meet as many people from around the world and learn their different perspectives as you can. You, your whanau, your teina, and mokopuna will benefit from the wisdom you gain.

Today I got asked to research and learn about many different global communicants. We had to pick two articles to learn about. I had picked Australian Aboriginal People and The Inuit People.  Did you know Aboriginal Australians could be the oldest population of humans living outside of Africa. There are four Inuit regions in Canada, collectively known as Inuit Nunangat.  Inuit Nunanga includes land, water, and ice.
