Most important Human rights:
Right to life
Human rights cant be taken away
Right to thought and religion
Right to education
Right to privacy
No slavery
Same right to use the law
---------------------------------
Why these are all most important:
Everyone has the right to live, no matter what type of person they are.
Human rights cannot be taken away as there should be fairness between other people.
Right to thought and religion is important for a wide range of people, and it wouldn’t be fair on others that have been raised around religion to be discluded because there were no human rights.
Right to education is important because, after the first woman, Malala Yousafzai risked her life for other women to have an education, so we must respect that. Education helps people become better citizens, get better-paid jobs, and it shows us the importance of hard work.
The right to privacy is important because many generations before us did not believe in privacy, and privacy gives us the power to choose our thoughts and feelings and who we share them with.
No slavery is important because slavery is forced labor. Slaves being bought and killed off then replaced, it isn’t good for humanity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is the right to life important to human rights?
It protects your right to live, this means nobody not even the government can try to end your life without having a proper reason why to. It also means the government should take appropriate measures by making laws to keep you safe and sometimes take large steps to keep your life from risk.
Why cant human rights be taken away?
Human rights we simply have because we’re human, that's one of the same reasons why human rights cannot be taken away from people. They should not be taken away, except in specific situations and according to process. Human rights can only be taken away if needed to only if you’re in a situation where you have no choice but to lose your human rights.
Why is the right to thought and religion important?
It protects your right to your freedom, thought, belief, and religion. It includes the right to change your beliefs and/or religion at any time, you also have the right to put your beliefs into action. You could include what to wear religious clothing, the right to talk about your beliefs, and/or take part in other religions.
Why is the right to education important?
Education is essential for the development of human potential, enjoyment of the full range of human rights, and respect of others, the right to education encompasses civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights. Education is also a fundamental right for the exercise of all human rights.
Why is the right to privacy important?
Privacy is essential and important to human, it gives us the right to be ourself without judgment, allows us to think freely without discrimination, and is an important element of giving us control over who knows anything about us.
Why is slavery a violation of human rights?
Slavery is forced labor and human trafficking, and when in happening it strips people of their freedom also their own rights. People deserve a saying of what they do, and human trafficking and slavery are not allowing them to embrace freedom.
Why is everyone born free and equal?
Why everyone is born free and equal is to ensure that every individual has an opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. Believing that no one should have poorer life chances, because of where, what, or whom they were born. Whatever they believe shouldn’t be seen as anything less than other beliefs.

Write that Essay/The W sentence & The 'ing' sentence
The 'W' sentence
Makes the sentence sound thoughtful & knowledgeable.
Remember the rule: Not every 'W' word works as a sentence starter. Remember to put the comma in where the parts affected by your 'W' word are finished.
Examples: Who, While, Whereas, When, Where, What, Whilst, With.
Whilst the class was eating, I read my book.
Where you like chocolate, others prefer candy.
My examples:
What Toni said was unforgivable.
Toni laughed, whilst the others cried
Toni questioned who ate her ham and cheese sandwich.
Toni sat with her friends.
The 'ing' sentence
Use the - ing version of the verb. e.g to run - running.
Remember the rule: When you finish your -ing phrase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence.
Some -ing words: listening, watching, running, realising, emerging, grasping, speaking, analysing, signalling, exposing, gossiping, acknowledging.
Examples:
Realising the danger, people fled from the cities.
Shaking away the nerves, he walked towards the microphone.
Acknowledging the speaker, he bowed his head in silence.
MY examples:
Grasping for the rope, i finally manage to grab it.
Exposing her, ruined her reputation.
Emerging from the depths, there it was, the kracken.
Acknowledging that im at gunpoint, I surrender.

The Adverb sentence & The Prepostion sentence
Adverbs describe verbs, e.g Surprisingly, Firstly, Confusingly, Remarkably. Adverb sentence starters add interest or intrigue to our work.
Remember the rule: When you start a sentence with an adverb, place a comma after the adverb then write the rest of the sentence.
Examples: Accidentally, Shockingly, Concerningly, Excitedly, Significantly, Similarly, Unfortunately, Fortunately.
My own sentences:
Accidentally, Toni crashed her car into a truck.
Concernally, she survived even after the car blew up.
Thankfully, someone found her before she passed out.
Fortunately, Toni was taken to the hospital and her wounds were treated.
Similarly, the same thing happened to Toni's brother but he died.
Viciously, Toni attacked the drunk truck driver for not watching where he was driving.
The Preposition sentence:
Examples: In, Against, Between, Over, Behind, Within, Under, Below, At, For, Throughout, Near, About.
A preposition gives location or movement.
Remember the rule: When you start the sentence with a preposition, you need to put a comma when the movement or position ends.
Example sentences: In the beginning, we talked a lot.
Throughout the lesson, I tried not to fall asleep.
Near the basketball court, is the rubbish bin.
My own sentences:
Between when Toni's brother died and the present, Toni has never forgiven the truck driver.
In the end, Toni ended her grieving and got her life together.
Throughout everything that happened, Toni was happy but she still misses her brother.

Humanities 2021
Sam Johnson and Jason Pemberton founded a Volunteer Army foundation after the 2010 earthquakes in September, (VAF) was developed from the student clean-up movement.
Art - 2021
What we did in Art:
First off we practised drawing manga and kowhaiwhai, we had to draw an art piece including manga and kowhaiwhai, first, we sketched it then we painted it. We were allowed to draw whatever only if it included those two art examples. My piece was split in half from the centre and drew two manga looking characters, one on the top and another one on the bottom, then I added in kowhaiwhai looking pieces to make it look interesting. At the start, we practised drawing different types of art examples, this was all in T1 (term one).
We also got lino and drew a practice design. Then we got to draw on a piece of paper what we want to do on the lino, we use not sharp but kinda sharp tools to carve into the lino to make the design.
This is what we've done so far in T2 (term two)
Thanks for reading. :)

Digestive System Blog
What Organs Do We Have in Our Body?
Oesophagus -
The Oesophagus is a muscular tube that goes from your throat to your stomach that is how you get food in your system.
Stomach -
The Stomach has 3 main functions, one is for temporary storage for food, two is for where it holds food for 2 hours or more, and three is the stomach mixing and breaking down food for digesting.
Small Intestine -
The small intestine carries out most of the digestive progress, absorbing almost all of the nutrients you get from foods into your bloodstream. The walls of the small intestine make digestive juices.
Liver -
The Liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called Bile.
Large Intestine -
The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food and to get rid of any waste or leftovers.
