DO NOW- Calypso

 I can see palm trees on the sandy beach, blowing in the wind as the waves in the sea come crashing down. People playing drums and having a midnight party infront of a fire. People gathering around and singing their favourite songs. And people enjoying their life's in general.

Pontoon

Why were they created? they were created for army soldiers to get across the water. 

They were built with wooden planks that can slide in and out so you can keep going.

How are they reuseable? You can use them over and over again because you can take all the wooden planks out of place and you can keep building on to it.

Schooner

 The schooner boat has a long and skinny base with 4 sails to direct the boat. the base of the boat is brown with the sails being white. If i was riding on that boat it would likely be a stable ride because of the way the base is made with curves to keep the boat and water evened out. i would see the sea life around me and also crashing waves. And the sails could also be good if you want to know which way the wind is blowing so you can go diaganl to the wind so the boat doesn't tip.

U-boats

 U- boats were used in both world wars.

U- boat sank killing 272 people including 27 americans.

ICT Reflection

Today I will be talking about my overview on ICT, and I'll be telling you what I have learned during term 1 & 2.

This term in ICT I have learned many of things, many shortcuts and many other features that Microsoft gives us. For the first few weeks we had been learning how to use Word. We used Microsoft Word, which is literally google docs but Microsoft version. After we finished with Microsoft word, we moved on to use publisher, which is a tool that is used to create images, or create something productive. We also learnt about Cyber-safety, which we went on to play games on a website that taught us how to be safe while on the internet, or just keeping yourself safe by not giving any personal information to anyone on the internet and to avoid internet predators. 

We also did file management we're we learnt how to drop files in folders and file naming as well as creating different folders and saving our work to the desktop then drop it into our google docs to make sure we knew where it was. We also started Typing.com and Nitro type to help boost our typing speed and to learn how to type without looking at the keyboard. We would use Publisher to make or create pictures such as Boats, tv and flower pots with a flower.

We made a Disney Wonderland poster we're we would make a choice to change the font of the title and the layout. And Changing the background.

This term and last term ICT was good because I learnt how to do many and many things from creating pictures, making templates, calendars, and heaps of other things.

               

 Matariki should be a public holiday?. I think that matariki should be a public holiday so that people can celebrate that day and spend the day with family members and to celebrate the meaning. Many people choose to stay home on this day. Matariki is a time when maori celebrate that time of the year so i guess it would make sense if we just had one day off to celebrate that day/s.

 English is the most important subject to learn in school? I think that every school in the world should have English as a compulsory subject because everybody in the world should be able to learn English.  

Which mixture dissolved faster

Which one had the sugar dissolve the fastest?. Warm or hot water dissolved the sugar faster because it was warm and could easily dissolve it.

DO NOW WEEK 4

 Schools should have more mufti days. I disagree that schools should have more mufti days because we as kids wear our uniforms with pride and represent our school with the school uniform. 

Pablo Escobar

  5 qualities leaderships Pablo Escobar:

- Had many followers 

- Famous drug lord

- 'The king of cocaine'

- Escaped prison many times.

I think that he wasn't a good leader because he escaped prison many of times and kept repeating it.

Week 3 DO NOW

 Cats are better than dogs? i think that both animals are good because an animal is an animal but it might not be the animal that they don't like. It could also be the different types of breeds. Because i think that both animals are good. But sometimes could be aggressive at some stages. In my opinion i like dogs better because their more interactive with humans, but so can cats if you play with them or train them. Both dogs and cats are loveable animals.

Do now week 2

 School uniforms should not be mandatory. I think we should be wearing school uniform because it shows what school you go to and if there was an emergency, they would know who to contact. Uniform should be worn at every school because the uniform represents the school you come from and wearing the school uniform with pride.

Do now

 Elephants are the greatest animal of time. I disagree because there is other animals.

Week 1

 Should school holidays be 1 week long, i disagree. I think that the school holidays should stay 2 weeks long because 1 week is too short and 3 weeks is a bit too long. So i think that 2 weeks of school holidays is the perfect amount of time off school so we're not off school for too long, but also get a good enough break. I think that if we have to many weeks off school, kids will then not want to go back to school and will most likely complain about it. Then that's when kids will start being more aggressive to there pairs and will not complete any work.
