Schooner boats

 Hey everyone welcome back today In hurumanu 1 we are doing another do now about the Schooner boats. We had to write a descriptive piece of writing that describes what it looks like and then what we would see if we were on one. I hope you enjoy have a wonderful day thank you for reading my blog, Enjoy the rest of your day,  Good-bye 

The boat looks like it is a big pirate ship because it has big sales on the top of the boat it has a long deck so it can fit many people on it, it has places under the boat so you can sleep, it is in like a crescent shape so that there is a high up piece at the front and a lower piece at the back. If you were to be sailing on the boat you would see many other boats you would also see the sails flapping around so that it still has the wind pushing it. you would see the water floating past you as you move across the waters, you would see all the people around. you would see the clouds and the sky no matter what the weather, you would see birds many different types of birds. 

(Here is a photo of the boat)

The U-Boat German submarine

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had a week one to do for our Hurumanu 1 we had to research some facts about the U-Boat German Submarine. Our main things we had to do was Find out three facts about the submarine and then we had to find a video and say why it is a good video. I hope you enjoy good bye. 

Three Facts about the U-Boat
1. In world war 1 over 5,000 of them sunk 
2. It was 214 feet long 
3. It could only travel under water for two hours.

This video is a good source because it tells you what it was like when it was used the most and what it was like and how it worked. This video can tell you what you would mainly need to know about the boat 

week 9 do now

 hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now i hope you enjoy good-bye 

When high school student want to start voting they would have to learn about politics so they know what is what. A reason for this would be that when you turn 18 and are able to vote you need to know what you doing other wise you wouldn't know what to do.  For example you just turned 18 and wanted to vote but didn't know what to do because your high school didn't teach you about it. Therefore this is why I think learning about politics are important for high school students  to learn.

Week 9 Do Now -Hurumanu 1

 hey everyone welcome back today we had a do now, I hope you enjoy good bye 

when you are being a big speaker in front of others you can't really have a trembling voice right. A few reasons for this would be is because they would need to hear you but if your trembling they wouldn't be able to understand you. For example if you were running for prime minster you would have to be able to be good at speaking so that people know why you want to win the place.  Another example would be that if you were doing a speech you would have to be able to have the confidence to have a big crowd in front of you, while you are talking. So there for this is why being able to speak in front of people is a good life skill.

Hurumanu 1 do now week 8

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now, our topic today was should Matariki Be a pubic holiday. Sorry for a small introduction, I hope you enjoy my paragraph, Have a wonderful day good-bye 

When you think about Matariki you would think we could get a public holiday for that well sadly that's not true right now.  A few reasons why I think we should get a holiday for this is because it is the Maori New Year and it should be celebrated.An example for this would be that we celebrate queens birthday and its not always her birthday and we celebrate our new year but we don't celebrate Matariki. Therefore this is why I think we should have a Public Holiday for Matariki.

Hurumanu 1 do now week 8

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had another do now. I hope you have a good day. please enjoy my paragraph that you for reading, good-bye 

When you think about subjects what is the first one to come to mind, for some people it's English it may be different for others. A reason for this would be that when you first come to a high school you will probably be getting taught a few classes but one of the main ones you would be getting taught is english. For example what language do you speak well it's probably English, another example is that you would need to know how to write a full story or a CV for when your older, and wanting to get a job and a story for if you become a book writer.Therefore that is why English is the most important subject to learn in school.

Do Now week 6 Day 2

 Hey everyone welcome back today we are doing another do now. Have a wonderful day good-bye

(Our topic idea was anyone who lives In Aotearoa New Zealand should be aloud to vote in the federal election)

When you think about voting some people would think anyone can vote but that's not true. A reason why this statment is not true is because people that are younger have no clue what they are doing and they would be silly and just choose a random box for a person. For example say a 5 year old was voting they would just scribble over the paper because they have no clue on what they are doing. Another example is most people aren't mature enough to vote until they are aged 18 or even 16 so anyone that was voting at a younger age than 16-18 would be silly and just tick a random box for a person. There for that is why anyone over the ages of 16-18 should be aloud to vote in New Zealand not just anyone, and also why I disagree with this statement.

Week 6 do now

Hey everyone welcome back today, our do now was about our names. So I hope you enjoy my paragraph, Have a wonderful day. Good-Bye 

when you meet a new person whats the first thing you ask them? well its their name.  A reason for this would be so that you know them and so that you know who they are. For example when someone is saying a speech or tell you about them self's the first thing they say is like "Hi My name is (Their Name) so you know who is talking to you. Another example is saying your name to someone lets them know who you are and what your like because as you may of heard before you name is one of the reasons why you are who you are.  There for this is why your name is the most important part about you.

Hurumanu 1 Week 5 do now

 Hey everyone welcome back today in Hurumanu one our do now topic was The Principal is the most important person in a school thank you for reading my paragraph and viewing my blog have a wonderful day. Good-Bye 

When you think about a school the first question that comes to mind would be "Who is the Principal?". Some reasons for this would be the prinicipal runs the school they make sure everythings going right and that people aren't misbehaving. For example when a student is misbehaving and don't stop when they are asked to they could get sent to the principals office and have to talk to the principal.Another example of why they are the most important person in the school is because they get to decided who gets hired and who does what.There for that is why I Believe that the principal is the most important person in the school.

Rugby is the most definitive sport in new zealand (Do Now Hurumanu 1)

 Hey everyone welcome back. Today in Hurumanu 1, we did our do now and our topic was Rugby is the most definitive sport in New Zealand. I hope you enjoy my opinion on it. Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful day, Good-Bye

When you think about New Zealand the first sport that comes to mind is rugby. Some reasons for this is because most of the most famous people in the rugby world come from New Zealand, Another reason why you may think this is because a lot of people play it. For example Richie macaw is a well known rugby player around the world, another reason this may be is because when you come to New Zealand you find a lot of people talking about last nights game or even last weeks game, they are a few examples about why rugby is a well known sport in New Zealand. Therefore that is why most of us think rugby when they think about New Zealand.

Week 3 do now Hurumanu 1

 Hey everyone, welcome back, today in Hurumanu 1 we are doing a do now every lesson we have today's topic is why we should have more mufti days, I agreed with this statement for many reasons as you will read below. I hope you enjoy my do now work for today. Have a great day, Good-Bye 

Topic-why we should have more mufti days

I agree we should have more Mufti days because we can fundrase for other things.A reason why I think this is because we our uniform could get dirty and people may only have one pair of uniform so they need to clean it, so if we had one mufti day a week we could use it to clean our uniform. Another reason why we could have mufti days is because we could use it so that people will want to wear our uniform when we have to.  For example students could also use a mufti day to be creative and show what they are like on a weekend or even a holiday. So again in my opinion I think we should have more Mufti days.

Hurumanu 1 Week 2 Do now

 Hey everyone welcome back today as our do now we are writing about a statement about school uniforms and if they are mandatory heres what I have to say. 

Topic- School uniforms should not be mandatory 

I do and don't agree with this statement because some schools don’t have to wear uniforms and they don't have to make sure their uniform is clean and tidy. But I also don’t agree with this statement because then we don’t all match and then the school isn’t representing what school we come from. 

The evidence for this statement is that all schools should have their own way of showing their school weather it be in uniform or not but i think we should have at least some more mufti in the schools. 

I think that uniforms should stil be around but also that mufti should be aloud as well.
