Holding your chromebook properly wevideo

Today we got to make another wevideo encouraging little kids to hold their devices properly. I was very fun to make and I had a lot of fun doing it since I got to do it with my friends. I think next time we could speak a little louder into the screen. But it was overall a very fun experience and I can't wait to do another one.

My Hatched book summary. WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS, DO NOT READ BEFORE READING THE BOOK

                                                                           HATCHET

                                                                      By Gary Paulsen

This book was about a boy called Brian who was a survivor of a plane crash in northern Canada. He was going there to see his dad, since his mother had wanted a divorce. He had to survive and build things with only the help of a hatchet that his mother had given him before the crash, and his wits. Several serious and dramatic events occurred which included: getting stabbed by a porcupine, eating so many berries that he made himself sick, and trying to kill himself.

The pilot driving the plane had a heart attack and died while the plane was still flying to Canada. So brian had no one to talk to. He caught birds, fish, stole turtle or crocodile eggs and ate lots of raspberries. A tornado came to his "camp" and took away everything he had built, like his bow, arrows, shelter, food and his spear. Everything but, you guessed it, his hatchet.

He tried to get the survival pack in the plane because the plane's tail was sticking out of the lake. This ended up with his hatchet falling in the water and Brian trying several times to dive down and get it from the bottom of the lake. Luckily he succeeded eventually.

At the end, when he retrieved the survival pack from the plane, he had everything that you would need to survive. It contained lots of food, a knife, fishing gear, a medical pack, and an emergency transmitter. He left the emergency radar on without knowing but that was fortunate for him because a pilot saw it and rescued him. By the end he realized how lucky he was to be alive and to have a home and food whenever he wanted it. It was an absolutely fantastic book. 

My Covid-19 WeVideo

This is my covid-19 Wevideo about some of the things that happen during lockdown. I found it very fun to do because I overall like doing WeVideos and I got to do it with my mum and sister. I found it quite challenging when embedding it on my blog but I eventually figured it out. I overall loved doing this project but next time I think I will try and make it so that when one of me finishes talking she does not just disappear. I hope you enjoy it because it took me four days to make. 😀

My persuasive essay

 The lockdown has helped NZ

The lockdown has done many different things. I do believe that the lockdown really has helped New Zealanders on their journey to cope in these times. It has brought New Zealanders together, it has proved that working together and listening to our Prime Minister really makes and impact on the spread and we start to realize what is really important in life.

Firstly, it has proved that working together and listening to an amazing prime minister that we can make a huge difference to the spread of the virus. There have only been 14 real cases that are caused or linked to covid-19. This has not really happened in other countries. By listening and doing what is right we have protected more vulnerable groups like my brother, my Nana and my Grandad. Every other country in the world has also experienced the virus but NZ only has a tiny amount of deaths. So by listening and doing what is right we have decreased the number of deaths throughout the country.

Secondly, it has brought New Zealanders together in a variety of many ways. Including being kinder to each other, listening, comforting each other and most of all since we are all looking out and supporting one another, we have been brought together in ways that were not possible before the virus. We have been all working together and that has welcomed us into the fact that we are all in the same boat and we are feeling all the same things in this rough time. We have been inspired to get healthier, do more cooking, baking , gardening, etc etc, we have also started to find hobbies in things we would have never tried before. We have learned new things and have been able to give things a try because of all the time we have been given. So we really have been impossible if it were not for the spread.

Lastly, it makes everyone realize what is really important in life. We start to recognize the things we actually need and not some cool jug you found at the home depot that you will never really use. It also helps us appreciate what we have actually got when it is taken away from us. We have found love in simple items that help us a little everyday even when we don't notice them. We have become resigned to get to know what it feels like to lose someone which is extremely sad. We have really begun to really notice what we need.

So in conclusion, I do believe that

the lockdown really has helped New Zealanders on their journey to cope in these times. Even though the lockdown has been a challenging and uncertain time for all New Zealanders it has proven to lower the number of deaths throughout the country. Since we have paid attention to our prime minister we have prevented the virus from spreading rapidly.So remember New Zealand, be kind, stay safe and unite against Covid-19.
