Need For Speed

- Displacement is the shortest distance travelled by a body from one point to other. It is a vector quantity. Which has both magnitude and direction. The displacement is illustrated by the given figure. Then there is distance.

Distance is a measure to find out how much area is covered by a moving body when it is travelled from one point to the other it is similar quantity , which does not have any direction only the magnitude is there in the case of the distance. The given figure will explain about the distance.

Speed is the distance that is travelled by an object. But then there is velocity where distance is travelled by an object per unit time in a certain direction. Velocity is a vector quantity, where as Speed has scalar quantity.

Zika Goes VIRAL

“ Zika goes V I R A L”

What is the Zika Virus? The Zika virus, is a virus that is spread by Mosquitoes. These type of mosquitoes usually bite pregnant women and usually  bite during the day. If a pregnant woman gets bitten 1% chance of giving birth to a baby with microcephaly. This is when babies have heads smaller than usual. Which means, they could have a lot of issues with hearing, thinking and more…..

The virus has recently been caught up in Brazil. The zika virus does not have any vaccine or medicine to cure the children. There are so many countries that has been hit with the virus, and we can do anything about it. Did you know that this virus first started in Brazil, just last year. This virus has caught everyone's attention!

Scientists and Doctors around the world are trying their hardest to figure out a cure for this virus. This is one big priority! But there is no way to predict when or where health threats will appear. But the main fact is that we will continue to see new disease threats such as Zika. Scientists are still learning more about Zika and fighting as it is their top priority.

2015 Reflection

This year was the BEST year I’ve had so far. First was Year 8 leadership camp, then came our Polyfest trip. Which was held at the Manukau Sports bowl. I think these 2 events were one of the best events that were held!!

Why it was my favourite? Well the year 8 leadership camp was the best event because, we got to learn about how we can get back to school and show what we have learnt.Throughout that camp I have learnt to become a good role model to others around our school and area.  

The best thing that I am looking forward to this term is our trip to parakai. Why? Well we get to bond with our friends and even our classmates too. This year has been a great experience by bonding with more people that I usually hang out with.

My goals for next year are too try and improve my learning without any distractions. This year I think that I would have improved better at Maths and listening to instructions. I think that I could do better next year Maths by listening to instructions carefully and also staying focused.

If I was to give this year a rating. I would give myself a 10 out of 10. Why? Well this year has been a great experience helping out the year 7’s become better leaders. The leadership camp helped us improve our skills and it also helped us bond with the other Year 8’s too.

This year was so cool. Because we got be in new teachers classrooms. Like Miss Peato, Mr Wiseman, Miss Clark, Miss Hockly and Mrs Moala. The most exciting thing was also when Mrs Tele’a had came to teach us too. It was really cool experiencing different teachers in our area.

For 2016 I think that I’d need to change my attitude and also speaking more quietly. Why? Well this year I’ve got told so many times to be quiet. Also my attitude this year was Good. But I’d like my attitude to be GREAT!!

I am really looking forward to next year! First year of COLLEGE Yayyy!
