Manaiakalani Film Festival 2020

year 2020s manaiakalni film festival from our school has finally finished, Wow! time really does fly by at this time of year : ) this is a blog post talking and showing some videos that I picked that have been presented for manaiakalanifilm festival.

This is one of the of the videos I have chosen becuase it talks all about how we were level 2 from Covid-19 and have been spacing out or spread out away from each other ever since we came back to school, this video was presented by our team 4 for students in room 7.  It also has some scenes where they explain how sad  lock down was and how boring level 2 was for them.

This video is about champions never give up, this shows how much couches and managers we had for when it came to sports and everything. This video also shows how much sports have been going on for the past few years at Pt england school, how we keep up with all the sports that's taking place without any problems. We show how much we care about our school and take pride for who we are and which school we come from so this is why they made a video about champions never give up,

T4W5 Choose It

 

2019 January 8th,  water pollution growing more and to much use for plastic, plastic bags and 

Water pollution, for over many years our waters and oceans have been found with a lot of different plastics being thrown in. Many corals and living creatures have been dying because the plastic there never breaks down, is never being cleaned out or never goes away. Marine water fishers had many trouble finding fishes, tunas and other sea food but some found plastics with many fishes wrapped within the plastic. All animals in our ocean think that plastic is some type of food they can eat but really they are mistaken because plastic is easy to spot but hard to break down in tiny bits.

There are many beaches here that have lots of plastic and have been building up for a long time which makes it more for us to clean, all it takes is one more year of plastic being thrown onto our beaches and our world becomes a total wasteland. Our beaches are important to us because we can go relax there, have a swim and to also have a little fun with our families and friends too. But for that to happen we need to stop littering and just use bins that are nearby because it takes up plastic bags 1,000 years to break down or to decompose. But for other different plastics it takes about 150 or 200 years to break down, many plastics have been spotted on beaches and are hard to pick up with more than 1 of them.

Plastic bags, we use plastic bags daily and for transportation to carry stuff in, we sometimes use plastic bags 10x a day or even more for our shoppings. Plastic bags can take long to decompose even if they are really easy to use but are hard to get rid of, in 2021 there might be a chance that the usage will grow 10 or 20x more than in 2020 this year.

To be continued …………...

Maths T4W5

Task description: Today's blog is all from my maths class, the only reason why I have to tasks on one blog post is because we only have one block for each subject because this week is a busy week. Here we have multiplication pyramid as a warm up and below it is our actual slide about BEDMAS, it was pretty fun doing BEDMAS again because I haven't done it ever since last year.

This is a multiplication pryamid warm up for us so it could help us get warmed up to focus on our actual maths work but this one is all just using timetables, like 1 x 3 = 3 and the answer goes to the other box and do the same to the other ones.

This has to do about BEDMAS our Brackets ,exponents ,division ,multiplication, addition and subtraction, also has problems that help us understand more about bedmas and all about order of operations.

Sustainability Water: Paragraph

Water, water is important. It is the main thing that keeps all animals including us humans alive too, water is a resource that helps every living thing on earth to drink and stay dehydrated to keep us moving.  There is 97% of salt water then there is clean water, there is 1% of clean water on the planet but they are also mainly found in rivers, streams and waterfalls. We are running out on fresh water and we may only last until 2025 so for us to prevent that from happening we all have to at least try using less water and only use it when needed.

To me and others water is something we need to start taking care of our water. I take pride in what I have is important to us. I would take care of it and make sure it lasts.  Well the water that we have right now is good but we need to keep using less water and hope that the day that we run out of water never comes, or hope it rains so we could also fill up our rivers, streams and that with more water.  Climate change and pollution makes our water taste a bit when we drink, all the rubbish and mud and dirt that get into our rivers,lakes,waterfalls and streams. Our water should not be used for something that is not useful to us and should only be used when you need to shower,clean dishes and other stuff that keeps you clean and healthy. We should keep our water clean and stop polluting our environment because that is somehow connected to our water problems too.Farmers have been ask to take care of there water and to make sure that they don’t over use their water to also keep an eye out on there animals just incase they pollute our rivers,lakes and water fountains.People think the problem is that dairy farming because how some farms are near rivers and that the animals dirt and mud gets into the river, also farmers aren’t the only people who pollute our rivers because how birds and and other animals kept on drinking from our rivers and are dirty. Farmers also need to take care of their animals and to make sure they get plenty of rest for the rest of the day and week. 

Task description: This post is of another blog post called sustainability water,this is the SEE paragraph writing for it and also is talking about our water cequince and it talks about how to save our water from running out. This was extremely interesting because it talks about our water and what it means to have it and other things too.

 

Sustainability Water

Task description: Today's blog post is from my literacy class for writing, for writing we were writing about sustainability water the water that we use and drink.

Tonga-Education Day Coronation

 Today I will be telling you about education coronation day which was an event that took place somewhere in Tonga. This event was put forth for those who graduated and for those students who took part in their school works, but the twist is that there was another bunch of groups and people that came all the way from China to be a part of this graduation coronation day. Tonga is an island that has talented ways of showing off their ways to those who come and see, like how they perform their performances at their graduation coronation day. There is also a link at the top where it says education coronation day if you want to watch the video showing what happened on that day then press on that link to watch.

Tonga is one of the biggest islands in the south and also has some of the best schools so this is why this amazing event came to place because they deserve to graduate for their hard working and their knowledge of what they know. So I would say that this education day coronation is one of the best events that ever happened in Tonga and if I was there I would take part in this event because to me it looks really fun to do,Tonga is my favourite place to go to because how they celebrate on events is really interesting and involves many different things and colours.
