Our anxiety project

For our group project we are researching anxiety and finding a way to make a difference in the community. Charlotte, Karen, Lily, Jessica, Alana, and I are researching possible ways that will help decrease anxiety in school, we have found and researched that animals decrease anxiety, and so we decided that we would try and find a way to get animals into our schools or we would take our pupils to animal shelters or other places to try and decrease anxiety in our pupils. We are now trying to find and contact possible places that will allow their animals to participate in this project, and help us further in this investigation.

If you have any suggestions to help us, please comment below.

Hannah's Curious Cove map

In Dht and many other classes we have been learning about the Marlborough sounds. We had to write facts and different information about the sounds. The reason we had to learn about it is because we were going to Curious Cove, a camp which is in one of the sounds. If you look at the map you can see we started at Otaki and ended at Curious cove. There are also photos of camp and places in the Marlborough sounds we had to research.

2019 class

Next year I'm going to be a year 9. My goal for next year is to achieve more in my maths and my options. This means that in Maths I'll try to stay more focused and in my options to achieve things that are set and not complain. One of the things that I think I'm good at is writing, I enjoy writing because you can write about anything. I think I'm a active learner.

Curious Cove camp 2018

On the 12th to the 16th of November I went to a camp called Curious Cove. It was really fun there we saw dolphins, penguins and even a peacock! If I had another opportunity to go to Curious Cove I would. I hope that the next group that goes embraces this opportunity and has lots of fun there, I know I did.

Environmental issue

In Mali and Tiaria's environmental issues they explained chemicals that were released when plastic got into the water. They told us that when the chemicals were exposed to water the chemicals could release deadly toxins that would give us cancer and other harmful things. This really made me think about how bad and deadly our world is getting.

Daffodil day

Daffodil day
Today I am wearing yellow to support cancer patients and lives that have been lost to cancer. My family has been affected by cancer when my grandma was diagnosed with leukaemia. It was unexpected because my grandma had lived a very healthy life. Even though my grandma didn't die from cancer it was a very sad but short battle. I hope that when people wear yellow and their daffodils, they understand that cancer isn't just tough for the patient but also the family. Otaki College is supporting cancer by having a mufti day and getting people to wear yellow and donate a gold coin. All the money will be given to the Cancer Society, which is helping families and people that have been affected by cancer. Go to this website to get more information.
