Lily's Journey - My nana

Lily's Journey

Lily was born in Apia, Samoa. However she is not yet a
New Zealand citizen. She had arrived here in New Zealand 
1969 for a better life. She did have family here, she had a
brother that paid for her flight to come here. My nana came 
by plane but she did not stop at any countries.

Usually, sometimes they would stop at Tonga, wait a while 

then leave to their destination. She departed from Apia,

Samoa and chose to come to Auckland, New Zealand. 

The people in Auckland were very friendly and warm 

welcoming to my nana and her family. The difference between 

Samoa and New Zealand was that there were more job 

opportunities, better housing and better pay. My Nana

did not get homesickness. My nana cannot pick between 

Samoa and New Zealand to be her home because both of 

the countries have treated her with respect and love. One 

of the obvious things that she misses from Samoa is the food. 

Some of the food that they would eat is Taro, Corned beef, luau 

and many more. My Nana has visited her home country a lot of 
times. She is still hoping to go back again to visit some of her
family.

My Inquiry Reflection…

My Inquiry Reflection…

For inquiry, I had a partner and my partner and I done a presentation about “Global Warming". We presented it to a small group of students and we had assessors and a teacher to judge. Based on the feedback we got I would rate us a 9 out of 10. The reason why I left out the extra one was because when we were presenting we were giggling and not much eye contact was made. We would need to work on being more prepared when presenting. I think what we did well in was how we structured the presentation and how we had a clear voice while presenting.

Should The Cadbury Factory In Dunedin Shut Down???

Picture Cadbury in your mind. What did you find? Well, in 1868 a Cadbury chocolate
factory was opened up in Dunedin by Richard Hudson. Richard Hudson's first product
he made was Chocolate Chippie Biscuits which is now under Griffins. When Richard first
opened up his factory, they were manufacturing biscuits. In 1884, Richard Hudson opened
up his first chocolate cocoa manufacturing plant. In In 1930, Richard partnered with
Cadbury to create their first Dairy Milk Bar. Unfortunately the Cadbury factory in
Dunedin is shutting down and starting up in Australia.

Firstly, I believe that the factory shouldn’t move to Australia because we might taste the
change in the recipe. The chocolate could taste a bit bitter than sweet or they could add
more sugar and less cocoa which would not be nice at all. Maybe the packaging might
even change. The colour of the packet might change from purple to yellow.

This may lead to consequences. For example, workers may lose their jobs.

If they lose their jobs it will be hard for them to get money to provide for their families.
New Zealand will not be famous for Cadbury chocolates anymore. On the packets it will
now say “Made in Australia”.  I would be harder for NZ because we would be the ones
that would have to pay for the chocolate to be imported.

To conclude, I would like to say that I vehemently believe that our NZ Cadbury factory
should not  move to Australia because there are consequences for families and the recipe
could change.

Global Warming..

For term 1's inquiry we have learnt about environmental issues that we are facing.. 
In this presentation my partner and I have talked about 
"Global Warming and the impacts".

The Impact Of Littering and How We Can Help...

What goes up and must come down? Have you ever imagined what our school would look
like if we had no litter? If so, it would take a while to discover. Scientists have stated their
opinion saying that by 2050 our oceans will be polluted with more rubbish than fish.

I vehemently believe that our families should start to reduce using plastic, aluminium foil and
cling/ glad wrap. To reduce this our families can try to buy us new lunch boxes that have the
little compartments. It is atrocious seeing how much rubbish has been dropped and left for others
to pick up.

In some countries if you get caught littering you are basically committing a crime.
Which will result you getting a fine or facing imprisonment. For New Zealand, high - risk or unwanted
litter, such as faeces or nappies, will attract the maximum of a $400 dollar fine. You will face
imprisonment from up to one year or more depending on how much rubbish you litter.

Have you ever wondered where your litter goes? Well, believe it or not, no one would think that
until you look at the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” and see how disgusting it looks just because
people are too lazy to put their rubbish in the bin. People are not thinking of putting their rubbish
in the bin. When it rains, the litter gets washed up into the sewer and floats to the ocean which pollutes
the sea and kills the animals

Overall, littering needs to “STOP”. Even though it may take some time, it is possible.
Although personally I litter myself, I feel mortified with the amount of litter. If cops are more
strict with punishments and the government is more strict with the law, I vehemently believe we can
make a change and end this. Be apart of the solution not the pollution.
