2nd week of Tech by Frank

On the 2nd week back at tech we were taught about the different types of plastic. We learnt the different types of plastic that are Reusable plastic and One use of plastic.

We were also learnt that having Biodegradable plastic is actually pretty good to use. There is also so many different types of plastic out there. One of them being  high density polyethylene, which is just milk containers and any other type of bottle.  This type of plastic is called HDPE.

Road Safety by Alamoni

We might be in lockdown but once this pandemic has been solved we will be allowed to go out again but still with the same conditions and hope everyone will stick to it but on thing we must remember is the rules on the road so here are some rules on the rad the you need to keep.

1. One thing you should know and remember is to keep to the speed limit and always stop at STOP signs.

2.Another one is to always slow down to observe recommended speeds around bends and to keep on your left-hand side

3. A simple one that everyone should know is to always put on their seat belt and to know that it is on is to wait till you a click then you are already to go.

4. Do not Drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs it is a crime in New Zealand and strictly enforced by police.

5. Remember to give way to cyclists using the bus lanes, and vehicles using bus lanes.

these are all the things you need to remember while on the road I hope everyone keeps safe and looks both ways on the crossing.

Earth Day by Alamoni

 Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to establish support for environmental protection. it was First celebrated in 1970 and has continued on till this day and now over one billion people in 192 countries celebrate this.
Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson came up with the idea for a national day to focus on the environment.

Lastly to celebrate this you could do some garden in your backyard and try planting some flowers or if you want you could plant things that can be used in you life like potatoes, lettuce, blueberries, and more, so when doing this you can make the world a little more brighter for the next generation.

"The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind"
- Gaylord Nelson

Positive relationships has been the theme of our Kiwi can sessions.  Room 7 has participated enthusiastically in all the sessions and they've especially enjoyed competing against each other in the general knowledge quiz. Room 7 has been excelling in their team work as can be seen in these pictures.

Term 1 Kiwisport

The sport Room 7 did during term one was Ki-O-rahi. A high energy sport with a cool origin story. When I first heard about it I thought the rules sounded rather intricate anot worried that the students would get confused.  Boy Oh boy, I was pleasantly surprised. Room7 was pros. They knew what go do and follow the instructions really well. I think I am still confused about the rules.

A tribute to a hero

After the tragic passing of the American professional basketball player Kobe Bean Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant and the others on the helicopter flight, Room 7 made a tribute in their memory as the feelings in the class were still raw.

Basketball is a much loved sport in Room 7, as they spend most of their time on the courts during lunch time.  A sport that fosters team work and physical fitness.

The new era of learning

Well that was a weird end to Term 1, and an unexpected start to Term 2.
As we know tomorrow Term 2 begins, but because we are still in lockdown it will be done through digital home learning.
How will it look? Well, the possibilities are endless.
We will have tv programs to watch, online videos and video conferencing with the teacher and class, just to name a few.
The important thing will be to make sure we have routines. Just like we have at school, so that we remain focused on our tasks.
It will be different but we can make it fun! You can do it!
