Apartheid in South Africa - Social Studies Quiz - Tuesday June 21

Social Studies Chapter 6 Uses and Abuses of Power

In 1876, the Canadian government passed the Indian Act.  It was a law that aimed to assimilate First Nations in the dominant culture.

Under the terms of the Indian Act, First Nations people were not considered to be Canadian citizens. 

The Indian Act sought to end First Nations languages and cultures. 

First Nations children had to attend residential school for most of the year.             

Treaty – a formal agreement between two or more nations in reference to peace, alliance, commerce, territory or other relations.

 

 

South Africa gained independence from Britain in 1910.

White minority kept political and economic power for themselves. 

In 1948, the white minority in South Africa adopted apartheid as government policy to separate themselves from black people and other races. 

Apartheid laws were brutally upheld by armed security forces.

Laws forced black people to move to small, isolated areas called the Bantu homelands.

The South African government had reserved about 7 percent of the country for black people.  But black people made up about 80 percent of the population so the homelands were very crowded.  Living conditions were terrible with almost no jobs.

The government required black people over 16 years of age to carry identification passes.  Black people had to show their passbooks any time a white person, including a child, asked them for identification.  A black person who could not produce a passbook would be arrested.

Many people inside and beyond South Africa believed that apartheid was wrong. 
Black South Africans organized and protested.  Whit police often responded with violence,   sometimes shooting into crowds, killing hundreds of demonstrators at a time. 

The government banned groups such as the African National Congress (ANC).  This political party had worked for black civil rights since 1912.

One man who played a key role in ending apartheid was Nelson Mandela.  He was the ANC leader who was jailed in 1962.  He continued to protest for almost 30 years from his prison.  Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990 by President F. W. de Klerk. 

Psalm 91 - Test on Monday - Fill in the Blanks

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 

8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 

10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 

12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Social Studies Chapter 5 Review – Power and Authority Test May 5 For Grade 5/6 and 6

Daniella lives in Colombia.   She is a tour guide on her family’s farm that grew coffee.

Caribbean South America is a region that is made up of the countries that are near the Caribbean Sea, along the northern coast of South America.  The countries are Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname.  Also included in this region is French Guiana, which is an overseas territory of France.

The geography of Caribbean South America is diverse.  It has mountains, plains, river valleys, and coastlines.  It also has different kinds of climate and vegetation. 

In Colombia, the Andes Mountains, split into three chains of mountain ranges, known as cordilleras.  Because the central range is volcanic, its fertile soil is good for coffee plants.

Because part of the region is on the equator, temperatures are hot everywhere.  Heavy rains often lead to flooding and mudslides. 

Much of Colombia has a tropical wet climate,   especially along the west coast and in the southeast. 

The climate changes in the Andes according to elevation.  The higher up you go, the cooler and wetter it gets. 

In Colombia, 80 % of the population lives in the higher, cooler elevations of the Andes.  Here you can find Colombia’s three largest cities – Bogota (7.5 million), Medellin (2.5 million), and Cali (2.5 million). The country’s Caribbean coast has many busy ports.

Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, is the largest city in the country.  Most people in Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana live in the lowlands and along the coast. 

Indigenous peoples – the original inhabitants of a land:

The Chibcha lived in the high valleys of Colombia and practiced agriculture.  Smaller groups such as the Arawak and the Carib lived near the coast and depended on the sea for survival.

Beginning in 1492 with the arrival of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish, Dutch, English and French came to this region in search of gold, silver, and cotton as well as land in which to extend their empires.  The Spanish took over parts of this region that are now Colombia and Venezuela. 

Indigenous peoples were deeply affected by this period of colonization.  For hundreds of years, Europeans claimed land and resources and fought with local populations.  The Europeans used their military power to force the Indigenous peoples to work in mines and on plantations, and European missionaries felt it was their duty to impose their religion and way of life.  Indigenous populations were almost entirely wiped out by disease, violence and slaver.  Indigenous languages were lost.

The long- term effect s of this period of colonization included political turmoil, territorial disagreements, poverty and civil wars. Many of these problems continue today. 

Today, the majority of the population of Caribbean South America is a mixed European and Indigenous ancestry know as Mestizos.   Spanish is the dominant language.  Roman Catholic is the dominant religion.  Baseball, soccer, and cricket are popular sports, and some cities have bullfighting rings.

Power – the ability to exert control over people or situations: power can be in the form of force, authority, or influence. 

Revolutionary groups began to form in hopes of overthrowing the government.  They kidnapped wealthy and powerful people, including government officials.  Revolutionary groups began selling illegal drugs to finance their operations. 

Authority power that is recognized by both those who have it and those who are influenced by it; exercised through legal appointment, particular knowledge or education, employment status, or expertise.

Influence is when you change someone’s behaviours to get favourable treatment or to improve a situation.

Power as force is when someone uses threats or physical action to get their way.

Gangs are organized groups that use fear and violence. Gangs often use force to keep their members loyal, to carry out criminal activity, and to protect their so-called territory.

Elections and job appointments are common ways in which we give authority to people who have power over us.  We usually elect people based on their ideas and what we expect them to do one in power. 

Many of our daily interactions at home, in school, and in the community are based on influence. 

Good leaders should have a vision, be passionate, be decisive, and collaborate with others, be respectful, show good character and demonstrate personal qualities such as honesty, patience, confidence, optimism, humour, fairness, efficiency, and in-depth knowledge of their field.

Democracy – a system of government in which the citizens have power through their elected representatives.

Peer pressure – Individuals and groups may try to influence you to join them or to do certain things. Sometime they may put pressure on you to make choices that you are not sure about or that you do not like.

Cliques a group of people that follows the decisions made by one or two leaders.  The leaders decide who gets to be in the group and who has to stay out.   A clique is different from a group of friends. Friends support each other’s differences. 

Cookie Dough Fundraiser

April 22, 2016

Dear Parents, 

We are looking forward to our Kinasao trip .  We still need to raise $1700.  

Our next fundraiser is to sell cookie dough. We will run this fundraiser until  May 6^th, so about 2 weeks.   We get 5$ for every unit we sell which is pretty good compared to other fundraiser.   As a result if we sell 344 orders for cookie dough,  our fundraising will be complete.  The cookie dough will be ordered and shipped out in June.  I will give specific date to you when I get them.

Your cookie dough orders must be Prepaid to ensure the order.  Please ask people to pay by cash or cheques made out to you.  As the family, please then write one cheque – this cheque will be to the school for the amount of your whole order.  This makes it so much easier for us as organizers and school staff. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself ( Mr. Baetz) or  Rene Thiebault. 

Thanks for your involvement in this. 

Mr. Baetz

Cookie Dough Fund Raiser For Kinasao

We are getting ready for our final fundraiser for the year for Kinasao.  We are headed to Kinasao on June 1-3.  We would like to run the cookie dough fundraiser next week (April 25th to May 6th)

I am wondering if there is a parent volunteer who can manage the orders for this fundraiser.  Mr. Warren Galenzoski is the coordinator.  I have all the forms ready to go this week and we just need someone to manage the orders.  Warren will phone the orders in and get them delivered to the school. Is there a parent volunteer willing to take this on as it would be much appreciated.

It would involve coming by the class either every day or every 2 days to sift through the orders, make sure the money is correct, then give the money and orders to Warren.

Let me know if you are able to do this.

Mr. Baetz

Study Notes Social Studies - Quiz Thursday for 5/6, Friday for Grade 6

·         Locate places on a map given the coordinates of longitude and latitude

·         Identify coordinates of longitude and latitude when given a location.

The equator is a line of latitude.  Lines of latitude form east-west circles around the globe.  They are also called parallels.

Lines of longitude run north-south.  The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England. Other lines of longitude measure the distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian. 

Universal time – the time as measured on the prime meridian

International Date Line – the imaginary line of longitude on the opposite side of Earth from the prime meridian.  The line on Earth’s surface that is internationally agreed upon as the place where each new calendar day begins.

Time zones - the 24 divisions off Earth’s surface that are used to determine the local time

Sir Sandford Fleming introduced a system of  times zones in 1879 to eliminate confusion of every community adopting its own local time.

Cartography is map making. Early map making was lined to astronomy.  Navigators used instruments such as the sextant to determine their location.  A sextant was used to find latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and a star, a planet or the moon. 

The sextant is still used today because it does not depend upon electricity or machinery such as satellites.  A marine chronometer is essential to calculating longitude. 

Vinicius lives in Brazil.  His hometown is Belem and e lives in Rio de Janario.

An ecosystem is the interaction and relationships between living and non-living beings in a particular environment. 

Igapo is a forested area that are regularly flooded.  Deforestation is the widespread cutting and removal of trees.  Brazil’s government is taking steps to protect the rainforest from too much development.

Migration to cities is called urbanization.  Favelas are the slum of the city.

The Amazon River carries more water than any other river in the world.  It pours approximately 175 million litres of fresh water into the ocean every second.  The Amazon basin is the land drained by the Amazon River.

Study Notes for Health Test Friday Feb. 5

Diabetes

More than three million Canadians have diabetes.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes, usually diagnosed in children and adolescents, occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin.  Insulin is a hormone that controls the amount of glucose in the blood.  Approximately 10% of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes 90 % have Type 2 diabetes which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced.  Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood,  although increasing numbers of children in high risk populations are being diagnosed.

Gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy.  It affects approximately 2-4 % of all pregnancies and involves an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.

If left untreated or improperly managed diabetes can result in a variety of complications including:

Heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, nerve damage

Symptoms include:

Unusual thirst

Frequent urination

Weight change

Extreme fatigue

Blurred vision

Frequent or recurring infections

Cuts and bruises that are slow to heal

Tingling or numbness in hands or feet.

Many who have type 2 diabetes may display no symptoms.

Can you prevent diabetes?

Research shows that lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.  A healthy meal plan, weight control, and physical activity are important prevention steps.
