Robert Mugabe


For the past 2 days, in my Social Studies class, we have been learning about governments. Currently, we're looking more into DICTATORS! To help us better our understanding of dictators and dictatorship, our teacher, Ms Watene-Taie split our class into groups and gave us each a past or current dictator to create a presentation about.

We had to include a biography of that dictator and had to talk about their life before coming into power and how they came into power. Here is our presentation about Robert Mugabe; the current president of Zimbabwe. There is quite a lot of writing so HAPPY READING! 
Hopefully, you learn something from it.

Success Movie



In my first term at Tamaki College, our Social Studies teacher gave my class and I the task to create a DLO based around the core values in our school known as the RISE values. RISE stands for Respect, Integrity, Success and Responsibility (though Responsibility doesn't start with E).

Our class was split into 4 groups and were assigned a value. My group and I received Success. We decided to create our movie sort of like a TV show, we titled Extreme Makeover: Success Edition. It soon turned into an instructive movie on how to be successful by changing the small things like how you wear your uniform and how you behave in class.
This movie was posted on Youtube and was shared with my class and teacher.
