Tech

Yesterday Room 12 went to tech for our second to last week with our tech teacher, we painted or wooden clocks that we made our self (my one was a dog that has a donut on his head.)

We had been painting the whole time at tech and didn't get to put the front part of the clock with the other parts. We did finish painting our front part of our clocks so next week we can make a fully working clock, then we went back to our class and went back to school to have our lunch.

  

Powhiri Time With The ERO

This Morning Ruapotaka met some Visitors from ERO ( Education Review Office) the man's name was Richard and the woman's name was Pam.

We first welcomed them in to our school with a fantastic greeting, then they introduced them self to us and then Sosiua told Mrs Hamilton to stand up so that she could tell us that they will be here till Thursday.

When we were done Jessica told the ERO people that they could leave while all the classes sang a song for them, after they went Jessica told the classes to go back to their class room to do some more learning.  

Kiwi Can

today KiwiCan people came to Ruapotaka school to teach room 12 something and to learn what the word integrity means.

Our tutors were name Miss Tuia and Mr Matt but Mr Matt was absent so Mrs Mac came for him and she was really helpful.

we play some games like Bang, Changes, and GKQ they were all fun games but the Changes game was base on honest and another word for honest telling the truth.

At the end we all learned that it is not good to lie but to tell the truth is the best but before we went we all did a special cheer to go. 

How To Create A Good Password

 It is hard to make a good and safe password so I will be  showing you tips to make a protective password that you can use to keep your device safe from danger!

 One good password that you could use is (I love my family of 100) but I bet you don't want a vast   password so you could get the first letters of each word and that would look like this ( ilmfo100 ) I bet no one would ever unlock your device.

 It is very common to use you name and last name for a password but its not safe so you should use a   unique password that no one would ever guess.

Blog Checklist

On Tuesday the 19th 2019 Room 12 was learning about electricity with Esther and what other kinds of electricity their are.

electricity also comes from windmills but how?  well by using a large wind turbine, It is connected to a generator to generate electricity, or the wind used as mechanical power to perform tasks.

Started to talk about how much energy we use in our house and the highest amount of energy is spent in the shower.

Lastly we learnt the we have to be careful with these kind of things because they can be dangerous so be careful.
