Why is it important for us to know our culture.

Hello everyone My name is Armanielle and I why I think it is important to learn how to speak your own language so that when you have children they would know how to speak there heritage and so I've learnt that if you know how to speak your own language than people that are your culture when they are talking to you they would know you understand what you are saying and it is very important to know how to speak your own language so you can pass it on to your children and I think it is very valuable and Honorable to know how to speak your language so that when your elder lies are talking to you understand what there saying to you.

The way I retain my language is that I have access to churches that help me speak my own culture and my parents speaking there language I also have a lot of aunts and uncles that can speak the language and if you don't know how to speak the language then they would call you plastic (aka) someone who is that culture but cannot speak that culture that is what plastic means to me.

Community Blog Post Social Studies

Today In Social Studies we talked about Community and what it means.
 We were all explaining what community means in our two groups so then we each came up with our own definitions of what community means to us A Community is made up of  Neighbours local Supermarkets , Pharmacy's and doctors. Each community in East Auckland is made up of smaller districts such as  Panmure , Glen innes , Mt wellington , Pakuranga and Howick so then we found out that community's are Locals that know every street every shop and that is what local means to me and especially when you know that
 community's will have Gang's , Gyms , and some thing's
like a local clubs anything like that is a community so that is how we find out what communities are to us it is pretty much like local Dairy and anything that is close by where you live.
