Who can support International Women's Day?

International Women's Day is not a country, group, nor organization specific. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network, or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. The day belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist, and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist, nor to any one organization, but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."  So make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.

Do we still need an International Women's Day?

Yes! There's no place for complacency. According to the World Economic Forum, sadly none of us will see gender parity in our lifetimes, and nor likely will many of our children. Gender parity will not be attained for almost a century. 

The Beginning of The last post

Kia Ora, so over the past few weeks we have studied WW1 and Anzac.
 
ANZAC day is the day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought and died in WWI.

The Beginning of The Last Post

The Last Post is a song thaat has been around for hundreds of years, it sounds one of the most distinctive in existence. Citizens and members of militaries worldwide are able to recognize its somewhat haunting, poignant notes, played by a single bugler. It is a tune that binds humanity together, slipping past the country, city, and religious lines that divide all. That familiar and recognizable tune carries the names, the faces, and the memories of all who have died in wars throughout history.

Although the Last Post has coome to carry suuch mournful weight and meaning, it was not originally used in a memorial context. In fact, the Last Post was just a simple song in its very first years. First published and played in the 1790s, the Last Post was one of many bugle calls used by the British Army.

These calls were used to help soldiers keep track of time when living in encampments. Each sound of the bugle instructed British soldiers, with different “songs” or notes letting them know if it was time to wake for the day, time to enjoy a meal, time to partake in military exercises, or time to turn in for the night. Every day in camp was regulated and run according to the calls of the army’s bugler.

Atomic Science : Periodic TABLE

Kia ora this is what we have been learning in science

                                      WHAT DOES THE PERIODIC TALBE SHOW US

1. MASS NUMBER 
   The mass number, also called atomic mass number or nucleon number, is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It is approximately equal to the atomic mass of the atom expressed in atomic mass units

2. ElEMENTS
   each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e. the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.

3. ATOMIC
    A chemical element, also called an element, any substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by ordinary chemical processes. ... Elements are the fundamental materials of which all matter is composed.
4. DIFFERENT COLUMNS
   A column is a vertical group of values within a table. It contains values from a single field in multiple rows. In databases, columns may be defined as individual fields within a table. ... Therefore, when multiple values from a column are selected, they will all have similar information, such as a list of phone numbers
5. DIFFERENT ROWS 
   When you lo0k at the pperiodic table, each row is callled a period (Get it? Like PERIODic table.). All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. Foor example, every element in the top row (the first periood) has one orbiital for its electrons.
6. FEATURES OF THE ELEMENTS  

• ALKALE METALS  

             Alkali metal, any of the six chemical elements that make up Group 1 (Ia) of the periodic table—namely, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are so-called because reaction with water forms alkalies (i.e., strong bases capable of neutralizing acids).

•   TRANSITON METALS 

     Transition metal, any of various chemical elements that have valence electrons—i.e., electrons that can participate in the formation of chemical bonds—in two shells instead of only one.

Elements: Gold; Copper; Iron; Platinum; Rhenium...

•  GLASSES 

       Periodic elements in glass

In addition to Si and O, the most important elements of silicate glasses are alkaline (Li, Na, K) and alkaline earth (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) metals, as well as elements Al and B.

 How is Christmas celebrated? 

People celebrate Christmas Day in many ways. It is often combined with customs from pre-Christian winter celebrations.
