The trip out

On Monday the 16 September we went to the museum I got put in to a group with Ethan and Jimi we got told to stay away from the Maori part of the museum. The first place we went was the bird part with a great big bird on the roof,my Favorited bird was the albatross. after we explored more of the museum it was time to go and have lunch. at lunch me and my friends had a problem I feed a seagull a piece of my bread and they kept coming back. It was war we had to protect the kids, we succeeded.


Now lunch was over we went to the Maori part in the museum we lent a story about a green stone Taniwha I not going to tell you about that story now. we got to play with some of the weapons and lent about the Maori and how they got materials.

Wolf : Ethan
Script
Frank : please stand for judge archie ( everybody stands)
Jimi plays the  NZ national anthem
Archie : please be seated (everybody sits down)

Archie: last tuesday, on the 11 of september 2019, at 9:33 pm Lucas the grandma accused the wolf of kidnaping her.  So today, on the 13th of september, we head to court to discuss this.


Archie: The wolf has been accused of kidnapping grandma, your statement please Grandma.

Grandma : I want to sue the wolf for kidnapping me. He came to my house with one job and one job only, to kidnap me. With evidence of and broken door and wolf footprints leading to my bed. And when I woke up I was in the woods with a scar on my head.

Wolf: I objected the was no smashed door what are you talking about. She’s obviously delusional like, just look at her. How old is she?

 Lawyer: my client  is not lying there is now evidence that my client smashed a door he entered through the door, I strongly believe that you are lying Grandma. And the footprints are your Cheetah slippers.
Archie : Stop you are right about there now evidence about the door but there is a police statement about the footprints leading up to the bed but we don’t know if they are slippers or the Wolf’s footprints. Now could we invite the witness up to the now  stand please. 

Jimi: I was there at the time walking my dog through the woods and then I heard a window smash and I looked to investigate. When I got there and I saw a little bit of wolf fur on the front broken doorstep and I immediately ran behind a tree and called the police.

Grandmas Lawyer: As I was making a cup of coffee grandma was taking a nap then she hears  something break down the door then before she knew it, she had been kidnapped. It was a terrible seen to see I was terrified.

judge :Yes but the wolf still kidnaped the grandma wolf why did you kidnap grandma. 

witness: did not. I was simply asking you if you wanted to buy some cookies for a  fundraiser. I knocked on the door but no one answered I could hear something. The door accidently broke then the Grandma followed me out of the house to try and get me.

judge I have come to an agreement this has been a misunderstanding. Grandma woke up and chased the wolf but she fell over and hit her head.  That’s why she went back to sleep, and why she has a scar on her head. So you are both off the hook But its not over if we find some more evidence.

tech in school

How has technology changed the way we learn?

Were you in school before the 1980s well then you probably did not use computers, Tv or projectors. Computers got  introduced into schools in the 1980s to help kids learn from the internet and play math games. Projector and TVs were made for 2 reasons for the teacher to cast what the students need to do and to cast the students work.


Computers were first made in 1622 but they weren't thinking of it being used for school work so they made chromebooks that is like a smaller version of a computer. Here is a fact about chromebooks Instead of Windows 10 or macOS, Chromebooks run Google's Chrome OS. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. Chromebooks have done quite well in the education market, but their appeal has broadened.


Phones have evolved so much over the past but why have schools let kids bring them to class. It is just like toys if you lose it you probably won't find it. If you get caught using it in school hours then you can get into trouble. 


Now you know how technology has changed over my school years and maybe yours. If you have never tried technology every once and awhile.
