Virtual tours

Virtual tour

A virtual tour is when you look at a series of photos and or videos of an existing place it makes you feel as if you are at the place without actually leaving your house. There are many virtual tours that you can experience like the Smithsonian (my favourite) or you may even want to look at London’s landmarks. I like virtual tours because if you disabled and can’t move you can just take one of these tours, they also save you some big bucks that you might need in later life. In my opinion, I think virtual tours are an incredible idea yet there are some things I find that could go wrong e.g lagging of internet. However, in saying this virtual tours have a few highlights, like I said before virtual tours help you save money or if you’re unable to visit that place you can just take one. However you can’t really get a feel of the place and if you want to read a sign of the place you can’t see it whenever there is a highlight with the virtual tour there will usually be a lowlight. But in conclusion I think virtual tours are an amazing way to see the beautiful world in comfort of your own couch, they also show how much technology has really grown.

My advice for the new year sevens

My two years at tauranga intermediate is coming to an end. The new year sevens are soon coming into our school. Here is 20 tips for them.

1. Never leave your friends from your primary school.
2. Try to get into heaps of things that you are into.
3. Always be humble (you are really lucky that you get to work with laptops so don't show off.)
4. Wear your PE shorts under your skirt/shorts and roll them up so you don't have to worry about everyone seeing your undies.
5. The drinking fountain outside room 29 squirts out water (use this as your weapon.)
6. Stay on Mr Hearts good side at camp so you wont be shot with paintballs on the flying fox.
7. Take in as much information as possible.
8. Always have a good friend to turn to.
9. Never get on Mr Divers bad side.
10. Never put food in the recycling bin.
11. Always be kind and if you have nothing good to say DON'T SAY IT.
12. Try your best at everything, even if you don't want really want to do it.
13. Always  be organised.
14. Miss Campbell can and will help you if you have any trouble so just ask.
15. Never bring a cellphone.
16. Don't wear nail polish.
17. Mr Ransly can check whatever sites you've been in.
18. Have confidence.
19. If things may seem wrong tell someone.
20. Your tim at intermediate is preous so don't waste it.

A forum

A forum is an online discussion site where people can have conversations in the form of posted text.

A thread is like a topic, it is a group of post (usually organised from oldest to newest.) A thread is defined by a title.

An administrators job is to manage the technical details required for running a site. They can also promote and demote  (they demote and promote the players by if they are playing the rules.)

Here are some forum names and what they are for

MacRumours- Apple products
Major league Gaming- Video Gaming

Here is a forum about chocolate

The rules for a forum can be something like saying stupid things. If you break the rules you will most probably be banned from the site.

Here is a video I found that can help third world countries.

What I learned in life ed

drugs

There are many drugs that you can take and they all can be addictive. You can go crazy for drugs and you can loose everything for them, drugs can also be shot into your drink at a pub. There are classes for the types of drugs, class a does the most damaging and it goes down from there. Even though a drug isn't class a you can get addicted to them and die from it.

        Drug over dosses can be a life and death situation. They can knock you out or do stupid things with them.

Alcohol effects

Alcohol can be dangerous and you need to be carful with it. In New Zealand you are allowed to drink alcohol when you're 18.  But just because you're allowed to doesn't mean you should. Alcohol can easily make you drunk which again will make you do stupid things. Imagine your at a party and your drunk, you feel sick and you need to go to the toilet. while you're waiting for the toilet you pass out, what would happen if a bunch of guys (who are also drunk) kick you in the face you can think of the side effects.

Alcohol

There are three types of alcohol drinks, they are:

Wine

Sprits

Beer

If I were to organise them to least amount of alcohol to the most amount it would be:

Beer

Wine

Sprits

You will see that when you are at a pub you will get a very small amount of sprits this is because there is so much alcohol in sprits that that is one standard glass of it.

You are more likely to get alcohol at a party then any other type of drug.

Recap on drugs and alcohol

In life ed I learnt many stories about people who have taken drugs, what they had turned into and then changed there lives. I never want to experience being addictive to drugs. I also learnt that nobody wants to be addictive to drugs you just get pear persuaded to do so.

Puberty

I learnt that there are seven steps of puberty and that you can really know when you finish or start it. There are many people who you can talk to about puberty such as your family. No questions about puberty are dumb so you just have to ask someone.  

Life education poem

 This is a poem I wrote about life ed.

You are lying there, you're hands are shaking

How long has it been since you've started breaking

The day you decided to say no to coke

Was quite possibly the day you broke

The amazing feeling you once had of cocanie

Has now been refilled with only incredible pain

The pain of loosing the things most important in life

They thought you were scary and that was a sight

You beat your child till he screams loud

So your neighbours wont hear the terrible sound

The family you once had is taken away, and

Your heart breaks in a terrible way

Transformations: Translate

1. What is translation. Translation is moving a shape from one area to another.
2. How dose a vector works. A vector tells the person how far left, right or up and down. It kind of looks like a fraction in a bracket the only thing that is different is that the line isn't there. The top number means how left or right you want the number to go and the bottom number indicates how far up or down it needs to go.
3. A real life example . If you want to move a building you need to use translation to see how many meters or kilometres it needs to go.

you use translation in a grid.

Boy: I guess so, but it's really hot.

Humpty Dumpty: Yeah but I'm under the shade of this tree.

(Humpty Dumpty points to tree)

Boy: Yeah that tree must give you some shelter from the heat, but anyway I thought you might want to go swimming in the river with me and my friends?

Humpty Dumpty: Na, but thank you .

Boy: Well if your sure, but if you change your mind we will be there.

(Boy walks off)

Another story to punctuate

"MUM! where are my favourite socks?" I asked, yelling for help.
"And where are my Tuesday undies?" asked Dad, searching through his drawers, "You know I have to wear them today." "Just wear Monday's undies, no one is going to know," replied Mum.
"No ones going to know you say? I'm going to know! and to wear Monday's undies, pfft that would be idiotic!" Dad answered back with a streak in his voice.
This was only the beginning of our familys disaster for the next few weeks, things were starting to disappear and fast. With Dad losing his Tuesday undies and me losing my favourite socks, Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, Mum then lost her favorite dress. We thought we were going mental!
"It's not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac.
Mum suggested that we recap our steps. 
"When was the last time you had your items?" she said. 
We all replied before washing day was the last time we had them.
"So maybe it's the washing machine thats caused all this drama," Mum said, with a glimpse a hope in her eyes.
We checked the washing machine, there was… nothing! with nothing to prove I decided to put a GoPro in the machine, to watch it in action, to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realize was that the washing machine would take my GoPro too. 
"AHHH ITS GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice, "What are we going to do."
"Lets just give up," Mum said to me 
"Fine if that’s the best idea," I moaned.
A few weeks later Isaac had dropped his toy car behind the washing machine and as we were looking for it a pair of undies popped up out of the blue just sitting there. 
"Mum look!" I said with a big grin on my face.
"Who would have guessed?"
we both stood there smiling

Another story to puncuate

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green.

It was an ordinary day, everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils by their side. The sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears, I decided to listen in on Brittney's conversation with Ella.

"OMG, last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there!" explained Brittney.

"No way!" replied Ella.

That exact same thing happened to me, I was sure I put it in my bag but now it was gone. This is a little strange, I thought to myself, why are things disappearing.

Eventually, the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words.

That night I couldn't get Brittany's and Ella's conversation out of my head. I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery, as I unzipped the case, I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag. This was insane, I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag, and to my surprise my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds were singing, it seemed like an ordinary day. I walked into my class that is usually full of colour, but not today, my class looked like a prison cell. 

"What happened?" I gasped.

"Don't worry kids," assured Miss Green, "We have a thief in our class and I'm going to get to the bottom of this,"

One by one, Miss Green started checking our bags. Everyone seemed relaxed, except for James, Miss Green made her way down the line and James was last to be checked.

"Oh!" said Miss Green looking rather lost, "What is this?" she asked James.

As she pulled out two books, a pencil case, my laptop and two class posters from James's bag.

I was utterly shocked to say the least.

"I'm so sorry!" cried James, "It's just that everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better. The truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not want stuff from other people."
