Technology evaluation

Pictured above is Keith haring wearing his artwork.

It is always fun at Technology. And yesterday we had Art with Mrs. Baker. We started walking to the ICT lab where we learnt about the Famous Keith Haring. He was a astonishing new York City artist who was known from his bold lined drawings or graffiti. He used to draw on black surfaces with chalk so that it could be rubbed out if an error was made. Mrs. Baker made a slideshow presentation which included some of his cool art. In conclusion the power point ending with the date of when he sadly died of aids May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990 Keith Haring seemed like a really cool person to me because he was not like other artists he thought outside the square and was unique.

Belated Mothers Day Letter.

Mother’s day is an occasion where children, can celebrate how much they love their mum. This year I have someone special, someone loving and someone close to me who I can say that they deserve this prize. That person is my mum.

She has known me for longer than I have known myself.  She was there when I first walked, first talked (haven’t stopped), and for my greatest achievements.

She loves me, feeds me, talks to me, makes me have a house, and takes me to school. And I make her coffee, talk to her, and do my chores. We get on well with each other. And love one another.
There aren’t any words to say why I love her so.

Thank you

Rugby Tournament recount

 A sunny Tuesday morning when the birds were still chirping. Our team Tamaki Intermediate was about to play off against other Eastern Zone teams to get into the top so that they can go to the Inter-zone. Our faces full of eager and anticipation. We were ready to do it.

We were told that all of our games were against Pt. England. Oh man!! Pt. England is like the best team. But it didn't really matter because we can still beat them if we try. So we started doing warm ups. scrums and running around.

The whistle blew for the first kick off.  I was subbing for Chylsea.  Everyone tried their best but sadly we lost. We had two opportunities left to win. So we were looking forward to that.

We had a some food because some of us were hungry. So we practiced before our next game which I played. I tried to tackle the girls but they are just tough. We lost that game again. So we weren't going to Inter Zone but Mr Utanga said that he wants us to leave with pride which meant to win one game at least. That was our goal heading towards our next game.

Last game we went on with strength and were hoping that we could maybe get one try.  At the end of the game we lost.

Over all we enjoyed ourselves and have learnt from this.We hope we will win next time.

Natural Disaster- Droughts

                                      
L.I - we are learning to write explanations

A drought is caused when a large area for a long period of time has a massive shortage of water and sinking motion of air in a high-pressure cell, which results in decreasing relative humidity of the air and little or no precipitation .

During a drought, the land can become starved of nourishment. Usually this happens when a region has regular below normal amount of rainfall. It can cause agriculture, livestock, industry or human population to decrease rapidly. Droughts are a long lasting disaster, and although a drought can be noticed for a short while, the drought damaged area will suffer from terrible destruction and harm the local community.

When there is a drought it is deadly because there is either a lack of water or none, and everyone on earth needs water to survive and to live.During a drought most governments advise the people to drink less water, shower less and  not to wash cars often. When a drought becomes very serious there is a limit to how much water each person may use.You can get fined if you use more water than you're supposed to. In poor countries like Africa, world wide aid is needed to help and feed the people.

There have  been tragic events caused by droughts.  For instance there was a massive drought in the Amazon rain forest. It was during 2010, which had been more severe than the 2005 drought. The levels of water had fallen dramatically and some people say that it was completely dried up.The drought in 2010 had  started in an early austral summer during a tropical climate. The drought had the lowest water levels in half a century.If events like this were to  happen more often, the Amazon rain forest would become a big part of the green house gases.
