Upstanders & Bystanders

Kia Ora,

The topic of today's blog is upstanders and bystanders, is something we've been discussing in class this week.

Bullying has been a topic of discussion in our class. Upstanders, onlookers, and victims are all involved. Bystanders simply stand by and watch as the victim is bullied. An upstander possesses at least five positive characteristics. They aid the victim, report the occurrence, do not participate in the activity, but ensure that the victim is safe.  

Scorpio

Kia ora,

How did Scorpius get its name? The Scorpius constellation has intrigued people for centuries, not only for its distinctive shape but also because it is one of the brightest constellations in the sky. The name is Latin for scorpion, or literally translated as the "creature with the burning sting." However, Scorpius is not a scorpion to everyone. 

what is the story that leads to the name Scorpio? Scorpio, in Greek Mythology, comes from the story of Orion. This giant of a man was the son of Poseidon and Euryale, and was also said to be the most handsome man alive. He and Artemis were hunting partners. ... He went to Mother Earth and asked her to create a giant scorpion, which then stung and killed Orion
