Mana Ako Technology.

This Blog post is about how technology has changed throughout the years and we show that by showing objects from when they were back the vs now. We did a spinning wheel which had many objects on it and I got a Electric toothbrush. When I did this activity I noticed how big it was back then compared to now kinda like how the computers back which were the size of elephants then were turned into the small, compact mobile phones we know today. It shows how technology can do a lot of things if you give it a century or two. Well I hope you enjoyed my blog post and please leave a positive comment on my blog!

KPMG

Thank-you to KPMG for hosting us Yr 7&’s AGAIN. This time we learned about technology and we got to make some cool things. We made this drawing we cut out some bits replaced it with tin foil and made it a button with scratch! We used this object called makey makey. I don’t know what it does but it made it possible to make a button with a drawing. It made sounds when you pressed it so you can make any sound and it would do it. Of course their was yummy food like always. Thank you to KPMG for always hosting use every year.

Title Benefits of living in a 20 minute city
Introduction What is a 20 minute city? A 20 minute city is a small city where everything a human needs (Hospital, supermarket etc) is within a 20 minute walk or bike ride. People think it’s better for the world and some don’t. Let’s do some research shall we.
Information

1st element

The first benefit I think of is people using cars less. Since everything is in a 20 minute walk or bike ride I think people would be more tempted to walk instead of using their car. This would cause pollution to die down if everyone did that because less carbon dioxide and other bad chemicals would be released into the air. Don’t think pollution would end all together. factories would still be releasing bad things into the o-zone. Also it would be healthier for people since people would walk more. 
Information

2nd element

This benefit ties in with the 1st element. It’s pretty simple if you think about it. Since people are using their cars less, less yucky things would be in the air. It would also save people a lot of money by not using their cars as much (Unless you have a Tesla). Gas complaints would go down, everything would be better in a 20 minute city (probably not). You would also stress less than normal which brings us to our next ELEMENT.
q` Mental health. Stress is a key factor in depression which isn’t really good. People would stress less because you won’t have to worry about being late to your job, Your kids being late to school and if they’re old enough you can just tell them to walk since it’s so close. This is probably the best benefit because it can heal you.
Conclusion

SO thats it I hope you understood anything I was saying if not sorry! BYe bye.

 

COuntry project (update)

Last week for literacy we learned about countries. We had to do research slides and pick a country to research about. I chose Russia as it s pretty intresting with things not so normal to how we live in New zealand. I wasn’t here but they all put their posters on display and the ones with the best posters got prizes.

I hope you enjoyed and please leave a positive comment on my blog
