Here are Some words I've learnt today in Social Studies

       Globalisation

• Globalisation is when the world interconnects by trades and culture exchange, for e.g NZ trades with a lot things to other places such as America, China and also Australia. Globalisation is also the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide.

                                                                                                       Modernisation

• Modernisation is when a traditional community transitions into a modern and more advanced society, The process includes people from other countries come to a cultured society and educate them into the countries you know today.

Sustainability

• Sustainability means to keep or maintain something for a long period of time, like looking after an item so that the next generation can use it, sustainable can mean something that can be continued or a practise that maintains a certain condition without being damaged. 

About the Haka

The Haka is iconic throughout the world. If you’re interested in rugby, then you probably know that the All Blacks perform a haka at the start of each of the rugby games. But, did you know why they do it? There are multiple reasons; and it comes back to the fact that the haka is important to the indigenous people of New Zealand; the Māori. It is an important, iconic part of their history and traditions. Today we are going to continue our blog series on Māori culture by looking at the meaning and significance of the haka.

My own haka lines: The ocean and the sky is what backs us up, and if you try to fight then we will stand up. Until the death I will fight for Aotearoa we won’t back down we will never go lower.

My thoughts about the lock down holiday

For our 2 week lock down holiday we got to spend more time together as a family because everyone got together and we watched movies, we even made food together which was also fun, everyone found it exciting.

The holiday was different and challenging in many ways like getting groceries was a difficult thing to do because my parents were very suspicious about everyone around us. Sleeping was very relaxing but we got more rest time then we had planned so we often overslept.
