Comparing Cultures

In our social studies class we have been learning about different cultures. This work has included comparing other cultures to ours (which is what this post is about), watching videos about certain aspects of cultures and so on. With this piece of work, we were to pick a European culture and compare it to NZ culture. I picked Sweden, because why not. Within this, we picked 4 aspects of culture and compared the two, then ended the comparison with a P.E.E.L paragraph (acronym for point, explain, evidence and link). I did notice quite a few differences between Sweden and NZ, such as how the Swedish paint scenes of relaxation and how the New Zealanders paint more portraits and do carving much more than the Swedish. Anyway, I do hope you like this slide.

 

About me

Hello, I am Mase and I go to Bay of islands college. I live in moerewa and I am 13. I belong to the NZ European culture.
As a learner, I am good in subjects like english, science and most options (specifically like music and digital tech). I struggle a bit in maths and I have a MASSIVE problem with social studies. My goal is to pass maths and learn to do it faster mentally.
Some of my goals at the moment include:

To do good in science.

Do good in specific sports in P.E.

Do english better.

Do faster mental maths.

Personally, I want to learn the guitar and the saxophone much better than I can play now, and I hope to be a commercial diver when I get older.

Tuia 250 object writing

Hi, it's Mase with my Tuia 250 object writing. For this, we had a school kit that had a few select cards in them, with specific objects related to the HMS Endeavor exhibition. We had to then pick a card and write a day in the life of that object. Easy to write, hard to start. I enjoyed doing this and learning more about the Tuia 250 stuff. Anyway, have a good read.

Legacy writing

Hello, it's Mase with my published legacy writing. For this, we had to pick a person in NZ that left a local legacy in the community and write about him. Easy to find info and put together. I definitely learnt quite a bit more about Hundertwasser here as well. Anyway, have a good read.

End of year reflection

Hello, it's Mase back with my end of year reflection. For this, we had to collect all of our experiences from this year, our goals and other similar things and put it into one presentation for a short reflection on our year. Easy to put together, hard to think of good ideas for this. Anyway, have a good read.

Day 3, Activity 2

Hello, It's Mase with another Summer Learning Journey activity. For this, I was to interview 3 people to ask what they were most proud of. It was actually easy, having to just ask what people were proud of. I actually ended up learning more about my friends proud moments. Anyway, have a nice read.

The pros and cons of being the "Grand-master of Chess".

Hello, it's Mase here with my 1st activity ( Day 2, Activity 3) for the Summer Learning Journey teaser week. For this, we were to pick a task from the website and complete the instructions for them. It was easy to collect the information, but hard to start it up. Anyway, have a great read.
