Migration Model

In class we have been learning about migration and have been discussing some push and pull reasons for it. This migration model is about why people leave or migrate from their home country to another. For example, when most people or family's cant afford to pay for rent they move to another country so they can manage to survive. Down below I have created a migration model to describe some reasons why people may migrate.

Meeting with client

For a couple of weeks we have been designing different things to put on a wall. When we met up with our client - Mr Grundy - We laid out our work and he picked the thing he liked. while that was happening he realised most of our work wasn't simple, So he taught us the K-I-S-S saying, which stands for: Keep It Simple Stupid. He explained that if we were to paint on the wall, we would want it to be simple so we are able to paint. Instead of trying to paint flames or tiny designs. Finally before he went away he choose the designs that he liked. Which was the simple wood plane, and the font Ice cube.         

Nathan and Oscar - Made in Taiwan

 Over the past two weeks we have been doing an activity called Made in Taiwan, we watched   videos and wrote down some notes about the video. In the video there were two guys named Nathan & Oscar who travelled around the islands to find out where there clan parents came from.  
The thing that really interested me about the video was how they were studying about the Lapita patterns and designs

The tree

While walking through a forest I heard echoing of someone screaming. Immediately without thinking I start climbing a tree, But the higher I got the louder it was. I looked down searching for the unusual sound. I failed to find it until I felt twigs falling on my shoulder. Looking up I see a dead body hanging above me. My body filled with fear, was frozen. I couldn’t move, think and speak. I let go and fell all the way down landing on leaves and twigs. Taking my last breath I hear footsteps come closer behind me. 

BEEP BEEP BEEP. I banged the alarm and fell off my bed. I stare at the roof realizing it was all a dream. Sitting up, I look at the time. “Rangi time to get ready for school” yells my mum. “ Ok be out in a sec” I  yell back. As I reach out for my glasses I hear smashing from outside. I wriggle my glasses onto my nose and peek outside my bedroom window. At first I see nothing but my neighbour walking down the street, but then the unexpected happens. He begins walking into my driveway with his hand behind his back. 

I scream my heart out, trying to warn my parents of a intruder. But as hard as I yell, nothing comes out my mouth. My whole body froze as I hear the sounds of my parents screaming. I panic and hide in the closet, reach in my pocket and search for my phone. I then remember that I had left my phone on my bed. I cuddle myself hoping nothing bad will happen, hoping it was all a dream. Footsteps approach my bedroom, coming closer and closer. Louder and louder. The sounds of nails scratching the wall, make me lose hope. Looking up i see the door knob slowly twist. I take a breath and close my eyes. Facing head down I hear the door open “ Take me, I don’t care anymore, I understand why you’re doing this, I deserve it”. As i look up my face turns blank.

“Ahahaha you should’ve seen your face”. I wipe away my tears and punch Tj’s arms “You retard that wasn’t funny” I say “Your prank was worse what are you on about?!” yells Tj. I go quiet and just stand “Haha shame told ya i’d get you back”. “Wait how did …” “Honey you ok?” says a voice from the door I look to my side and see my mom and dad standing there, Laughing. “I get it, you want the pranking to stop, dont you?” They all start laughing and nod their heads.

Friends. You can trust them and know that they’ll always be there when you need them. Those types of friends are good friends they don’t tear you down or back stab you when chatting to other people. If you wanna have friends like that or be like that, then in the following paragraphs I will explain to you how to be a real friend.



One way is to listen, really listen. Listening is one of the best things you can give a friend. Listening demonstrates that you really care about what they’re talking about and in the future they’ll be able to trust you and share more with you. For example when a friend is weighed down by struggles such as material needs or a loss of a dead loved one, real friends truly listen to their struggles, and you’ll be showing them that you care about their situation and it shows them that they’re not alone.



You also need to cultivate forgiveness. With forgiveness you prove to your friend that everyone makes mistakes and that you can’t just hold a grudge forever. So when a friend says something without thinking a good friend will forgive them instead of holding a grudge and disliking them forever.



Good friends never use put downs in conversations or mocks people because of their looks, culture or about the way they talk. True friends care about what in the inside, your personality, humour and much more. Unlike fake friends real friends let you be yourself and dont judge you for being you. 



When being bullied or teased or laughed at, good friends are there for you. They support you in every way and make sure that your okay. They don’t just stand there and watch you get hurt they jump in and help you along the way. That’s a real friend.



That’s majority of the quality’s good friends have. These are the type of qualities nearly everyone wants and needs in a friend. So being a good friend contains listening, forgiveness, kind words and support. Thanks for reading
