St. Vincent de Paul

Kia Ora everyone, I hope you had a great weekend during Lockdown. For R.E ( Religious Education) we have been learning about Saint Vincent de Paul. Here's a picture of the Saint Vincent de Paul Church in France.

Here's an interesting fact about Saint Vincent de Paul :

Saint Vincent De Paul was once captured by Pirates. While he was going home from the boat, Vincent was gonna sell some property he received in an inheritance from a wealthy patron. But while he was traveling he was captured by pirates and was brought to Tunnis in Northern Africa. He was then turned into a slave for 2 years. During his time as a slave he prayed God for help and was later freed.

Anime isn't for kids

Kia Ora everyone, today during lockdown we were given the choice to write an article about any topic., issue, or a person. I chose a topic which is "Anime isn't for kids" because there are people in the world that thinks that anime is for kids even though it's not.

I found it hard to try and make it look like an article.

I found it easy to write the paragraphs.

Here it is.

Anime is not for kids

By: Mark Relato


Anime is a very good thing to watch to be entertained and learn a lot more about the genre

of that certain anime you watch. You can even learn a lot about the japanese culture. A lot of

people think that anime is for kids because of the art style which makes it look like it’s cartoon.

I will prove to you that anime is not for kids.


Anime has different age restrictions some may have 7+ which is mostly just full of comedy, adventures,

and action and it’s kid friendly. Some may be 13+ which is for young teens and the genres can be much

more different, it can have swearing, blood, explicit scenes etc. So it means that each age restriction is

much more different, and to be honest I haven’t seen a single anime that is 7+ so probably 80% of all

animes are 13+ or over. Which finishes my 1st reason why anime is not for kids.


Anime creators give different anime characters different character designs. Some may have a different

tone, emotion, attitude, and character traits. For example, some characters can be mean to others, some

can be trying to kill people all the time, some have a deep voice, etc. But this means that the characters

all act different than each other, and they can do bad things that’s not for kids and stuff. There can

sometimes be swearing in some animes, which is not allowed for kids under 13.


If an anime is about fighting, action, adventure, martial arts and all the violent genres then they

obviously show blood and violence into the anime. If you think anime is for kids then you can watch

Blood C, Tokyo Ghoul, Demon Slayer, Highschool Dxd, and Jujutsu Kaisen. They will change your

perspective on anime. Anime has gore, blood, violence, or any other bad things you can think off.


“Anime is not just for kids. In fact, there are a lot of mature themes in anime you need to be an adult

to understand.” - Unknown. There are some jokes that aren’t for kid and only people with the mind of

an adult know. Anime teaches you the true value of Revenge, and revenge isn’t a good thing for kids

because it can cause a lot of trouble. Anime shows people getting drunk and doing drugs, which isn’t

kid-friendly. Anime characters go through real life problems like mental health issues, no home,

bullied, in war etc. 


People have debated for years that anime is for kids and that it isn’t but the truth is…

Anime isn’t for kids. It may look like it’s for kids but it actually isn’t.

Friends or Foe

Kia Ora. This blog is gonna be about friends or foe. It's about bugs or insects that are friendly or bad towards the nature and the environment.

I did this DLO with 2 other people, which is Ezra and Manuk.

The post is gonna tell you about different types of insects and what they do in order to help us with the nature. Some help with the fruits, tree, leaves, flowers, roots, etc.

Here it is:


Symmetrical Insect

 For Maths we learnt about symmetry and we had a task to find a bug or insect that was symmetrical and we had to draw it.

I drew a scorpion. I first drew a line in the middle, and then I drew half of a scorpion and when I was done I started designing the insides of it. After that I folded the paper in half on where the line was drawed on, then I went to the window and started tracing. To trace you either need light shining on the paper, or just go on a window where the sun is out. Then when you've done tracing all of it, Unfold it back to normal then you're done.

I found it really easy to come up with designs to put in the scorpion.

I found it really hard to make it as symmetrical as possible, mine's not perfect but it's decent.

Here's my work :
