WALT: Make Clocks

Today for Technology we've finished our clocks. This blog is going to be about the Quality, Improvement and Rating.

I personally liked the clock but it's the stars that piss me off. All of the stars are in the wrong place and the Aries sign was very ugly, so I covered it in a black permanent marker. I made the clock by using MDF for the front, back and sides. Miss Grundy cutted the front, back and sides for us because we would probably mess it up. Before we started to paint we had to craft 4 different ideas for the clock and pick one of them that you like the best. I choose to do a night sky with tree and the moon, I was gonna do my Zodiac sign (Aries) But it ended up trying very not to be rude but ugly so I just covered it lol. 

Next we had to sketch on what we are going to be drawing and then paint it. During paint i've gone through many problems, sometimes the stars would be off so I would have to paint over them and do it all over again and another one is having cover up most of my art work because it didn't turn out right. But overall I would give it a 7 out of 10 (:

Public or Private

Public or Private?

WALT: Stay CyberSmart

Today we are learning about what we is personal information and what is private information. This will help us in the future so we don't get our identity stolen. The reason why we do this as kids is because most kids our age will click on anything etc: "DO YOU WANT MORE COINS" most kids will click yes and they will get scammed.

For this task we has to go onto our blogs and find out somethings about ourselves by only looking at the blog post. THe task wasn't as hard as I thought it was, but because it was that easy to find personal information on my blog that means I would have to think cybersmart while doing a blog post. This is what I found out.

Once we've have done the blog about ourselves we had to do one for a person in our class or school or maybe even from a different school, I decide to do a old friend who used to come to this school and her name is Faafiu. Here is what I found out on her blog. 

Thank you for reading! (: 

Manaiakalani Questionnaire

Manaiakalani Questionnaire

WALT: Fill in a questionnaire

Today we have been doing a Questionnaire from Manaiakalani all about how we use our netbooks and how does it help us. It was asking questions about Learn Create Share and what we use our netbook for and what learning sites we go on during school time.

This will help Manaiakalani improve and also fix anything that's wrong. But anyways, Learn Create Share is an amazing thing, i've grown up knowing Manaiakalani. Without it I wouldn't have had the opposite to do my learning online.

Student Leader Program

Student Leader Program

WALT: Become a better Leader!

Little Reflection 
Today we went to ny/d! It is a place where young student leaders from around aotearoa to become a better student leader.

When we got to the place I saw so many people I just couldn't believe that all those people are student leaders at they're school! But my biggest thought was how can they all fit, well I guess we have to wait and find out! Ms. Aireen went to go get our wristbands. She came back and gave us all 1 wristband, we put them on and then headed off inside.

We took a left because we could see most people were going that way, so we did too! All we could see were people near the toilets so then one of the workers told us to go the other way around because that's where the entry is. We waited for Ms. Kelly to come back and then we waited to go inside. I few minutes later we got to the front of the line, we showed her our wristbands and then walked inside. My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, there were so much people inside and half of then are still outside or coming! We sat down in our seats and waited for the program to begin! 

The lights turned off while everyone "OoooOO" 2 people went onto the stage and said they are the host, there names were Liz Alexander and Phil Baker! They told us about the cool things we are going to be doing and thing about themself. Liz told us a story about her and a drama (Play) she was in where she was acting and when one of the actors went to go punch her for the play she pushed herself back, seeming like he hit her hard and then in her mind saying "Maybe I should take this to the next level" so she threw herself over the boat and into the water. After that she didn't feel so good so she went to the sickbay, the teacher came in and said "I know why you are feeling sick, when you threw yourself over the boat the lake you drive in was the poo water from a zoo"  That was the most funniest thing i've ever heard! 

The highlight I had today had to be when King performed it was amazing, because he is one of my favorite singers and also another thing I like is when I got to see Ronnie as well, I used to watch What Now so it was really cool to see him again. One thing i've learnt was to treat someone how you want to be treated by respecting thing and being kind, and another thing is to become a better leader for the school.
