Book Review

Pig by Roald Dahl

Lexington’s parents were shot of the side of their apartment building. Lexington lost his parents at 12 days old. His Aunt Glosspan raised him in the State of Virginia. Lexington only ate fresh farm foods. Lexington was a great cook. Lexington died at the age of 17. Lexington was murdered at 17 years old.

I enjoyed this story very much.

A fact that I know is that Lexington was born to be cook.

I think that anyone would  like to read this book because it is really interesting.

Pig

This is my reading task for the week and our book is Pig by Roald Dahl.

The Day Thanos Destroyed the Earth

One day the sun was shining bright, brighter than it ever did before so the people wanted to know what was going to happen. On that same day, something interesting came over the morning news it said that the sun was going to explode due to some sort of power source striking at it but what they didn’t know was when the sun was going to explode. The scientist said that if the sun does explode the Earth and everybody on it would perish due to an extremely scorching hot heat wave.  On the final day of the existence of the human race, the most powerful being in the whole universe who cause the Earth's demise was Thanos. Thanos shot the sun 1 more time and then the sun blew up. The Earth’s demise was amusing to him while he flew away on his ultra huge space Cruiser with his infinity gauntlet and everybody died on the Earth.

Yr8 Camp

Last week the year 8's went to a leadership camp and we did all these fun cool activities. We were there for three days from the 15th to the 17th of May 2019. 

Some of the activities I did were Air Rifles, Paintball, Go karts, railway jiggers, BMX and bike track. We had to miss out on 1 of the activities because we didn't have enough time to do them.  

My favourite activities were Air Rifles and Paintball. I like doing Air Rifles be cause we got to shoot targets and because we got to shoot Rifles. I like doing Paintball because if we got shot we had the coolest bruise to prove that we got shot pretty hard.

After camp we went to this garden had lunch and then came back to school.

Why Facebook should be more strict

Amira - If facebook  is checking someone's account and then facebook gets hacked the hacker can

see everything about the person on his or her account

Amira-  if the person gets a friend request from a stranger that’s a hacker and agrees the hacker can see

everything even if its a private account.

Amira - what if an adult has made a account and have there profile picture is of there child or them when

they were young and facebook checks there account and bans them from facebook so he or she can’t

connect to it.

Pauline - No, Facebook should not be constantly checking if people’s account is over the age of 13. I

say this because how will Facebook know for sure if all the accounts are over the age of 13. Some

parent’s facebook accounts appear to look like it is a child but actually it is not. If Facebook constantly

checked its users, than there would be a high possibility of Facebook going too far with people’s privacy.

Chance- I don’t really think there is anything wrong with having facebook if your underage. My reason

saying is that FaceBook actually checks your personal account and they give private reasons of friend

requests. Being underaged on a social media account can also be supervised from your parents as well,

they can check up on what you are doing. Another thing is that you can get requests from family and

people you know but you may need to check with them since there are some people that catfish these days.

Troy- Under aged kids should be allowed to go on facebook but they should be supervised by their

Parent or Caregiver and they should only friend their family.

Week 10 DMIC

#Question 1: I disagree because Pineapple Ice-Cream is a bad choice to have in the cold weather but good to have it in the nice and hot weather. But Panikeke is an amazing food for any kind of weather. I also disagree because they sold more Panikeke then any other food and Pineapple Ice-Cream and Chop Suey were people's second choice because in the hot weather Ice-Cream is the best thing but in cold weather Chop Suey is better but altogether Panikeke was the best.

#Question 2:  In the hot weather people would want something nice and cold because its hot so they would most probably buy an Ice-Cream so that's why people would buy Ice-Cream in February.
In the cold weather people don't want much cold things so they would buy more warm things like Chop Suey and Panikeke so that's why people didn't buy much Ice-Cream

The "Key Words" Reflection

In Control Tech learned to surf the web properly by using quotation marks or we didn't use quotation marks and we used our web res draft and this is one the things i searched the web for ("images" + "cartoon" + “technician” +"animal characters") and i got 18, 300 hits on it and the more words you put in the least hits you get but the the least words you put in the more hits you get but we are trying to reduce the number of hits and we put the + sign in is to separate the words from each other so that we don't search the web for a site with both the both words in and I learnt all this stuff in Control Tech at Tamaki College.

In this class we used the web to find pictures for our future jobs or careers and this is one of them that I found for my future career or job.
