My Individual Endeavour

Last week at school we got to choose a subject about what we are interested in, I chose to learn about what gaming will be like in the future. With technology getting better and better every day this will be implemented into everyday life, especially gaming. I like gaming so I am quite interested to know what gaming will be like, I hope to know what this technology will be like and how it will affect everyday life, and to find out I will be researching using different websites for information. This endeavour will help me find out what technology will be like and will help with my social skills as I will be sharing my research with my group.    

Time Travel

Time Travel

If I could time travel where would I go?

I would go to ancient Egypt to see the building of the Sphinx and the Pyramids and to find out about mythology, Pharaohs and ancient curses. 

School so far.

School So Far.

I have recently started Ngatea Primary School and I have got a very very good impression of this school, it has a positive view towards learning and has a good learning system in place. They are kind and they are good at introducing new students to classrooms, I already feel like I have been at this school all my life. I have really enjoyed my time here so far and can't wait for school each morning

Tuakana-Teina

Teina to Tuakana

Last week we did a self assessment and put ourselves into one of three categories Teina, Tupu or Tuakana. Teina means beginner and if you put yourself into it then you are beginning to manage yourself and learn effectively. Tupu is in the middle, if you are Tupu then you are learning to make better choices and are more responsible than in Teina. If you are Tuakana then you are responsible and can learn very effectively by yourself and in other groups and get special privileges. I put myself in Tupu because I want to make some progress and learn to be Tuakana instead of putting myself straight up there.

What is a Treaty?

                                          What is a Treaty?

A treaty is an form or a contract between two people to have an agreement on one thing, examples of contracts are when you sign one to be cyber safe or an agreement to the terms and conditions on a website. There are some that you can agree on a common goal and some for sports teams in which you sign to say you will co-operate and work in your team without causing fuss or arguing. Others are like the treaty of Waitangi where two sides agree on fair treatment or on an area of land.
