USE YOUR WITS

Have you ever been bullied in your life, well here is a new solution and it is called WITS. WITS stands for walking away, ignoring it, talk about it, and last but not least seek help.

This is the first step to using your WITS which is walking away. Walking away is to be used in a situation when people are making trouble.  “Would you follow them or would you walk away?”

The next step is ignoring. You can use this if people seem to tease you, could always ignore them instead of causing a fight. If I was in this situation I would have to walk away and ignore it, wouldn’t you?

What comes after Ignoring is talk about it. It is when discussing  things with your friends.  It could help you with your problems. And also if you and  your friend disagreed with each other this could always help.   

When it gets to hard you can seek help by getting a teacher or a trusted adult. Tell them whoever has been bullying you and it could sometimes teach the person a lesson and it will make you have a better time.

Using your WITS helps you in your future as you won’t end up in a fight or hurt. Remember  to use your WITS, and always use them in bad situation. USE YOUR WITS!

THE END :)

Pacifika 2014

Here is a movie I created from my experience of Pacifika 2014. Pacifika is a celebration of pacific cultures and is celebrated every year. This event has been going for 22 years, WOW! It was held at Western Springs park. There were 100 stalls, 1,000 performers and 11 stages. My favourite stage was Niue because they were giving away lots of prizes such as crayfish, t-shirts, hats and more.  Hope you enjoy my movie!

Contact Lenses?

Today instead of going to school I went to my appointment to try out some contact lenses. It was  at the optometry clinic at the University of Auckland. The reason I wanted to get contacts was that my League season was coming up and I couldn’t wear my glasses. It was my first time trying contact lenses and I was so excited and nervous at the same time.

When we arrived we waited in the reception area for the optometrist to come and get us. Five minutes past and he came and got us. First thing he did was he gave me an eye examination to see what size eye contacts I was. Then he got some contact lenses and put them on the surface of my eyes. It felt weird because everything was clear and I didn’t have to wear classes, eventually I got used to it.

After that I had the chance to put the contact lenses in my eyes myself. Putting them in myself was pretty hard it took lots of practise before it became easier and easier to put them in. Lucky I was taught by a professional.

Camp Is One Week Away!

Camp is one week away and I can’t wait. The camp is only for the Year 5 & 6’s and from my experience last year I'm so excited. In camp we do lots of activities such as kayaking, swimming at mangere pools and many more. Before we go to camp we get into groups which our teachers pick and then our leaders for our team pick out a song. Whatever song they pick out we practise a dance then we perform it at the concert. Also we get awesome breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Statistical Investigation

I have been looking at the highest and lowest humidity on the 23rd of Feb in the morning.

When I finished collecting my data I created a Graph Template and put my data into it. I found out that the highest humidity was 78 and the lowest was 65. I conclude that when the sun has risen the humidity will drop lower.


I think the graph at the top is the clearest graph to read because it shows the time and how high the humidity was.
