Scary Newss

A US woman is terrified of spiders and one has been in her ear. She had noticed that she had a sore ear and went to the doctors to find out what was sore about it. She got the doctors to try and pull the spider out of her ear. If that highly venomous brown recluse spider had bitten her then it would've caused itching, muscle pain, nausea, headaches and sweating. She has said that from now on she's going to sleep with earplugs.

It is important to take responsibility of your own body especially when a spider comes visiting.

New Phone Number For New Zealand Police

On Friday the 10th of May, there has been a announcement pronounced by the police. They said that they've changed their contact number to 105. They said the number 111 hasn't been replaced yet, that contact is for anyone who has emergencies.

My opinion is that they could've left as before because if they had changed it than I would've had a feeling that it would be difficult and confused for others but it isn't my choice it's their choice.

But remember if u want to dial the police - 105
If you have emergencies than dial - 111

Prince William Comes To New Zealand!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Prince William had spent some time in Christchurch supporting families of the victims who died in mosque attack.

The second day of Prince Williams visit, Christchurch had met up with about 160 survivors and family members. He said that Christchurch and New Zealand's response to the shooting was an example to inspire the world.

My class and I had a talk about the mosque attack saying things like praying for the families and survivors who had been injured and had 2 minutes of silence.

It is important to love one another no matter what if you don't like someone because of their religion or their personality. We are all the same
SO THINK TWICE!

KiwiCan 🥰 🙄

Today Room 12 and I had the opportunity to have our first session with Kiwi Can.

 Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac were with us today, and as we know they both work for the KiwiCan company.
Firstly they introduced themselves and explained 5 rules we should benefit from.
They were:
1. Respect others
2. Ask Questions
3. Listen to the speaker
4. Don't be shy give it a try
5. Have fun

They were also talking to us about what these 2 words mean (highlighted in bold down the bottom for you)

Our theme for this term is Integrity = Being honest and strong
Our Topic for this term is Honesty = Being truthful

Next we played 3 different games:
First was = Bang
Second was = Changing Places
Lastly was = GKQ = stands for General Knowledge Questions

I've really enjoyed my first session of KiwiCan and getting to know the 2 tutors that had come today. I hope they had fun with us and keep KiwiCan going at least for a year!

Measle Outbreak In Christchurch!

A widespread outbreak has hit Christchurch!
20 people have been confirmed to have caught the measles. Canterbury District has been forced to buy supplies that they need to help those who have been affected.

Measles could be a very contagious disease which could easily spread out to those around.
It's very important to not catch these kinds of diseases otherwise it will SPREAD!!

Smart Learners (Passwords)

Passwords. Passwords are one of the most essential things to learn about if you don't know how to make the right decisions.

Sharing your own password is a very childish thing to do. Passwords are meant to be a personal thing, which means it's just for yourself and not for others. It is not safe to share your password with anyone because they could steal your identity and create problems for you.

I'm encouraging you now that it is necessary to not spread or share any of your personal information!

Tennis 🎾

Last week Tuesday my class went for tennis with coach Pete. Before we started, we chose our partners, my partners were Liza and Konzay. We were learning how to use the racquets and we were also learning how to hit the ball back and forwards. I really had fun and learnt new things for the future purpose.
