Genocide

Genocide - Why does it happen and what can we do?
What is genocide?
The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group. Also genocide means any of the following with the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.

Why do you think that genocide happens?
To kill of a group of people perhaps to shut them up or wipe them out completely. To kill a culture or nation. They could also be caused by an underlying desire of revenge or because of fear, anger or an aggression towards a certain group of people.

Why did genocide happen in Rwanda?
The Rwandan genocide began with the “assassination” of Rwandan president Habyarimana in 1994 April 6. There was an estimated 1.17 million lives lost in a 100 day mass murder of the Hutu Tutsi army.

What do you think we can do to try and stop genocide happening?
If we act together we can compel our elected leaders to act on their responsibility to protect innocent men, women and children from brutal regimes.

Why do you think we should care about genocide and conflict in other parts of the world?
The less we act against genocide is our basic silent way of condoning it. Therefore if we want to eliminate genocide from happening until it eventually reaches our very own country and we have to face the consequences for not acting against it. Along with the genocide comes large sums of innocent people lose their lives, their children, mothers, father, aunts or uncles, grandparents. Imagine the fear and the pain that it would bring you if you lost your family like that, it would be a horrible way to go so why would you wish that on anybody else no matter where they are from or who they are.

Game Design with Blender

I have used Scratch and created a game with Scratch. I have used Python IDLE, I created a game on Python. Now I'm working on Blender, which is a 3D designing platform.

We are now learning how to set up our game using the sensors, logic gates and the actuator. The first step will be to acquaint ourselves with the sensors linking into the W,A,S,D keys and responding to the input with the AND logic. We will also be using some physics to make the cube jump and fall back to the ground to build a single level game. Once we can understand the mechanics we will progress to the next level and add on a few more layers.

Finally we have reached school and sonn everyone begins to show up. Sadly Whaea Katie has gotten sick and can not come with us to Te Matatini.
We were in the car for along time and we had Music and lolies in the car and popcorn and lots of stuff.
We had reached Otira and we picked up Mikaere and Terena got to come because Whaea Katies spare ticket.
We were split in the sunshine coach and the school van.
Anaru was sick just before we got to Arthurs and so he got cleaned up and then after that we were on our way to Te Matatini.
We got to Hagley park and hopped out of the van then we popped over to the festival area where we were let in and then we waited for the gates to open so we could go in and watch the proformances and the adults had to where bands so that they could get let out and let back in.
We got through the gates and sat on the soaked grass then it started to pour down and that was a bummer because we had no shelter.
After the first proformance we left the gates and we went and played soe games.
Later on we left and we went to Mcdonalds and K.F.C for dinner.
We headed home and went of home after our big day out.

Brunner mine site poem.

The river rushes as the bush crashes,

65 people all men and boys unluckily killed in the mine,

The coal and dust covered their bodies,

As the families cried and wept over there children and men,

Coal everywhere as well as smoke,

The holes they climbed through they were dangerous that day,

for all of the gases and toxic disasters it caused the mine to explode,

Oh how unlucky they were on that day,

The pit ponies all timid and shy and pulling carts all over the show,

The boys did not want to go in the hole for their bosses just wanted the coal,

To fill up their pockets the greedy old bosses that stole their lives that day,

The mines filled with the smelly old gase and all the toxins in their,    

Most smelliest of all the sulfur discusting and the bosses don't care about anyone but themselves,

Losing themselves in the mine,

The poor poor people do you feel sorry for them,

118 years passed by and all the people can still remember and to this day things have changed and memorials have been placed,

all the men and boys still their hearts race through the thoughts of their families and everyone whom knew them,

For the poor boys and men were lost on that day.

                                         

                                             

                                                 

                                   

                         

                  

I also love Surfing hanging with friends climing trees and camping and much more.
