Cultural Significant of the Amazon

The people of the Amazon live in a Cultural Significant forest life. The rain forest
is a playground to the the children. The people of the Amazon rely on what they grow
and what they catch. Trees in the Amazon are busted down so there is access for the
cars and buses. It is also sold to the people to build their houses. A Lot of communities
disagree on the decision of cutting down the trees because a lot of Co2 is in the air and
it is bad for the environment because it could be bad news for the fishes in their rivers.
The kids travel to school on the river using a Canoe and the public uses the bus.

Geographically Significant Rainforest

Amazon Rain forest

The Amazon is Geographically Significant to be the Lungs of the pacific. The Amazon has second
longest river in the world. People these days use a lot of cars and travel from countries to countries
with planes. Anything with a engine releases Co2 into the air. Also the power station releases the most Co2 because it keeps everyone's power on and running.If there is not that much trees or no trees at all it mixes into the air and causes cyclones that can be terrible for the town. Another way to keep the air safe is saving power like turning off the lights and turning off the T.V if not being use can help the power station for not releasing too much Co2 and making it easier for our environment. The Rain forest is significant because the trees produce the oxygen and takes in all the negative air such as Co2.

My Significant Place: Wellsford

                           

The place that is significant to me is Wellsford. It is significant to
me because it is the place of my old primary school. It was my first ever
school and I have a lot of memories of this place as it was the place where all my siblings went too.

Another  reason why this place is significant to me is because of my Family have live there for more
than twenty years. I went to school with them and had lots of fun memories with them as we were growing up
over the years. My cousins that live there has lived there for most of their lives in Wellsford and I don't think they
plan to leave.


A third reason why this place is significant to me is because Wellsford has the best Mcdonalds that
I have ever tasted in my life. Their service is very good.
I also used to enjoy playing at the park that was built right next to the Mcdonalds.

SOS 2017

The most topic i admired the most was Government. It was the most topic i learned about too. Learning about this was like knowing that i also got a say and how much my words is worth. I’m really keen to learn more about Government.

The most topic I disliked about was Globalisation. It is because i didn’t find anything interesting about that topic. I think if i learn more i would find this topic more interesting.

Camp 2017

Monday we went to Hunua Falls for camp. The reason the camp was organised it's because of us yr 9s making a bigger bond between each other. The camp was called Camp Adair. The camp made me feel closer to my classmates and also know more about them also having big bonds with other classes. I learnt a lot like how classes can change their behaviour over 2 days. The most unliked thing about camp was doing the confidence course in the cold morning. My whole body was so numb I couldn't feel it but it was lots of fun. The confidence is when we had to go through muddy deep puddles and jump on top of frosty logs.

Pull and Push Factors

Pull factors is things that make you want to move to another country such as pay wages. Some people come to countries where they would get good money from good jobs. Push factors are the negative things that make you want to leave, such as low pay rates. My mum moved to NZ to work and get money for her family back in the islands. She moved because there was no other job back in Samoa that could help her family, so she moved. Whatever money she got from her job in NZ would be sent to Samoa for her family. The push factor was no jobs in Samoa and the pull factor is more jobs in NZ.

Tokelau

Tokelau is in the south Pacific ocean and 500 km away from Samoa. Tokelau has changed over the past decades, for example cash registers has been brought in to Tokelau. Tokelau now has phone lines and makes it easy for contact. Each family on the island has enough food for the family. The fish is been caught by fishermen. Children that go to school travel by boat. Some families send their children away overseas to have a better education. Also for the children to help out their family in the islands.
