Emotions aren't good or bad. They are messages

 Today for Wananga we've been talking about different types of emotions (bad emotions and good emotions). 

(Bad emotions)

I reckon that depression is probably one of the worst, upsetting emotion that anyone could ever go through!. The reason why I say this is because for me myself I've gone through depression and honestly, its not a good feeling. It messes up your brain by over reacted, thinking about bad memories that's happened in the past. I'm gonna be telling you what depression is like for me and how it started. 

So last year in March (13th) I tragically lost my dad. Having that type of experience is really hard. I guess ever since then I haven't felt the same. That's when the feeling (depression) finally came into my life. I kept on thinking about all of the bad stuff that I've done over the past years. I kept on thinking about suicide because of how I lost my dad. 

I got through all of the negative/bad emotions by family been helping me and friends that are supporting me.

That's a type of feeling that people go through, Its really to get out of the negative/depression side. Some feeling could be less negative like just Angry, Sad, Lonely, Upset and many more. 

(Good emotions) 

 Good emotions are emotions that make you happy, Its a emotions that is easily to control because there's no bad thoughts/negative emotions around. There's times where I could feel like I can do anything because I feel so alive. When I'm playing football/Soccer I feel like I'm in a good mood because its something that I love doing for life.

Words that share the same feeling as good emotions:

Positive.

Happy.

Excited.

Alive.

Joy and many more.

Social Studies - Spirituals/slaves.

Use of Spirituals

The use of spirituals was that it gave them hope. Music was a way for slaves to express their feelings whether it was sorrow, joy, inspiration or hope. Songs were passed down from generation throughout the time of slavery. These songs were controlled by African and religious tradition.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was a famous slave helper and used songs to message slaves and help African slaves escape the border, they would go trough the rivers to remove the scent because the dogs could track them down. Thousands of people got saved and became free because of one lady, there were several slave helpers but the most of popular was Harriet Tubman because of all of the people that she helped. They travelled from the south to the north of America, which was the safe part of America because they could be free. The Africa slave swore not to return. Harriet Tubman did this over and over again helping many more people.

Spiritual Message (Highlights)

One of the songs that they would sing was "Steal Away"

Chorus: steal away, steal away!

Steal away to Jesus? 

Steal away, steal away home!

I ain't got long to stay here!

My Lord calls me!

He calls me from the thunder!

The trumpet sound it in my soul!

I ain't got long to stay here! 

My lord calls me!

He calls me by the lighting!

The trumpet sound it in my soul!

I ain't got long to stay here!

Fun Run Experience

Hello readers today I'm going to be talking about my personal experience for the Fun Run. For me myself it was a really fun/amazing thing to do with all of the year 7's to 10's students who participated in the event. The reason why we decided to do the Fun Run on Wednesday 18th of November was because our school wanted to raise money for KidsCan who have helped our school so much by giving our students new school shoes/socks for our students who don't have the correct shoes or socks.

My favourite thing about the event was getting colour boomed because there was so many colours on our white tops that we were wearing. Maybe for next time they could add more laps like 3 to 5 laps because I'm more of a long distance runner and more activity's like more then just one water slide. The other thing that I didn't like was the water cans, they didn't taste good at all, for me myself it kinda tasted like sparkling water which is disgusting.

But when we got to do it again with everyone joining this time I just reckon it got so much better because there were so much that we can just randomly talk too. I also thought that when the police came was really fun because they at water guns with them as well... 

But since the day was so much fun I really did have a great time just running around and getting colour boomed. I hope you enjoyed my blog please leave a positive, helpful and a thoughtful comment down below.

Health

 Kia ora everyone, today for Health me and Levi have been looking at different topics that are related to Health. We got to choose a few options about what we wanna study about. Me and Levi decided to work on Weed/Steroids. The reason why we wanted to do these two options is because for me and him it would be a cool experience finding more information about these topics. 

What I'm really proud of is that me and Levi ended up having a argument about the design but we both decided to just go with some basic designs.

Things that I wish we could of done better was do it on a bigger paper so we can write some small paragraphs around the side.

Here's a photo of mine and Levi's design that we both created. We ended up using paper for our design because we both thought that it would be a lot easier just doing it on paper...

Here's some small information about weed and steroids hope you enjoy the slide show  

  

I hope you learnt something new about these too topics please leave a positive,helpful and a thoughtful comment down below

Dystopia And Utopia

 Hello bloggers today we have been learning about Dystopia and Utopia. Dystopia is where there's chaos and everything is burnt to dust. here's a photo of what it would look like.

Basically there's fire everywhere, everyone is killing each other, no rules set on bound. 

Dystopia can also mean that the world is getting worse and a lot of bad situations are happening around the world

  

 

Utopia means a peaceful world when everything is perfect and their's no hate are negative vibes around the world.

Everyone is happy and everyone is enjoying their lives.

People can enjoy their favourite food and eat healthy food and 

enjoy the junk food plus they can drink water or fizzy. 

I wanna learn how we can keep our own world peaceful.

And I wanna know if we can all afford to have a food everyday well not everyday but any day that we want.

Leadership

 Leadership

Today we have been talking about Leadership and what it means, leadership means The success of a structured organisation depends on effective leadership. Executive leaders are responsible for determining and guiding the direction and purpose of an organisation by setting and achieving goals. There are many other leaders critical to the success of a business.Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organisation; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.

A leader inspires others to act while simultaneously directing the way that they act. They must be personable enough for others to follow their orders, and they must have the critical thinking skills to know the best way to use the resources at an organisation's disposal. For me myself I've been coaching the year 7 and 8 sports since the start of term 2 and then the end of term 3. Its been a really good experience being a leader for all the year 7's and 8's. 

Here's some posters of my work that shows leadership and what it is, I hope you've enjoyed my blog please leave a positive, helpful and a thoughtful comment down below.
