Another great piece.

Hello this is another one of my explanation texts. Hope you enjoy.


How has Technology changed our school lives.

How was your first day of school, were there TV's, Computers or even ipads. If no there is a lot we need to talk about. Because now we have all those things in school to help us learn.

Now the projector was made because it was an easier way to learn. If the work was on a screen the children would be more attached to it more than they would if the teachers typed it on the board. Also the projector was made in 1879 but if came into the school in 1925. But it wasn’t a projector that used the internet like it does now. Another thing is the printer or the photocopier. This is an easier way for the teacher to give out work like word searches on pieces of paper.

Ipads and computers are very popular at school for younger kids, just like the projector it is more entertaining than doing work on paper. This has changed how people work because it is easier to access a doc or slide  then finding a page in your book. Also you can’t take photos, make movies or even play games with a book but you can with ipads and computers.

Lastly there has been heaps of things to help school learning like how we have math games for a fun way to learn, also some schools have intercon which are when your principale can talk to all the classes at once. Or like how we have ipads so we can check in, and online school reports.

So technology has changed our learning a lot. But I think in the future it will be different, some ideas are portable computers that when you think it types. So I hoped you learnt how technology has changed our lives.

My amazing writing!!

Hello bloggers for writing this week we have been learning to do a Explanation text which is when you explain how or why something is done. Here is my one, I hope you enjoy.

Why NBA players get paid more than WNBA players.

Do you like to play basketball, hoping one day that your going to make millions. Well that’s all good if you do but just don’t get mad when I tell you that the men in the NBA get paid more than the Woman in the WNBA.

The reason behind NBA players making more than WNBA is not the skill of the players and we are not sexus. It is because the WNBA players play 34 games a season making 52 million a year and NBA players play 82 games a season and earn 6 billion a year.This is with Merch T.V ratings, T.V shows, sponsorships and tickets.With that the WNBA stars can’t get the 100 million contracts because the league doesn’t have that sort of money.

So people like Candace Parker and Sue Bird can’t get what they deserve. The WNBA salary is $110,000 and the NBA salary is $109. 14 million. Like my favorite NBA player Damian Lillard makes 49 Million a year. And Candace Parker only makes 1.2 Million a year. 

Finally WNBA players make more than NBA players by a lot but that doesn’t mean you can’t play the sport.

Have you ever done a explanation text?

PBL challenge!

This week for PBL we did three challenges and my favourite one was the clothes one. For the clothes one we had to make Formal clothes out of 24 sheets of Newspaper 10 meters of tape and scissors. I came late from make a space. When my group had finished I had an airpod and earring and a watch. Archie had a crop top, skirt and a hat. Lily had earrings, skirt and jeans. Then Megan and Peita had a skirt and Megan had a top aswell.

Scoring trys in winter sport.

This year for winter sport I did rugby for the 2nd time. My team was a mix of wins and losses but we grew as a team and learnt to trust each other. My favourite position to play was either half back or First five. I like these positions because I get to touch the ball a lot and I get to run a lot. My favourite game was against St Martins. It was 2-1 to them with a minute to go. Then Mostyn got a intercept try to tie it up. Then a last play the ball popped up and I ran around 10 meters then scored the game winning try.

Our coach this year was Steve. Steve is a very good coach because he has a lot of experience with rugby so he teaches us very well. My fitness this years has gone up because of the fast pace of rugby. Next season I will tryout for rugby again.

If you do winter sport how much games did your team win?

Earth gave us a chance, so lets take care of it.

For reading this term our focus has been looking at a range of articles that all relate to the issue of Climate Change. Our hub has been looking at answering the question: How can we use our voice to affect change in order to protect our enviroment.

The books we read told us about how we are going to be eating bugs soon, how much landfill we use, how long it takes plastic to breakdown and decomposed and about green house gasses and that they get trapped into the atmosphere.

This has taught me what we are doing to our planet and how we are destroying it.

Please comment on if you are destroying the planet?
