GEGNZ Student Summit

Today I was gifted the privilege of attending this years GEGNZ (Google for Education group) Student Summit and Ormistan Junior College. The group that attended was the year 7&8 Extension group along with Mrs Langitupu. Starting the day we had a huge welcome from Ormistan Junior college and primary.

We were split in two groups as we were presenting two different workshops. My group did a scratch workshop teaching others how to create a game using coding. The other group showed and presented how we use a school network to get notices around, that is called PENN (Pt England News Network.)

There were over 400 different students from schools around Auckland and even some from down south. We had a range of different workshops like Telligami, Robotics and loads more. I even got to see my old teacher Miss Lavakula. We met her classroom and took heaps of photos.

Four students from Pt England school won prizes they were Mitchell, Simon Ana and Yvonne.
The prize range was huge! Chrome cast to smart globes. I hope to go to this event again next time.

Usain Bolt

In this task i found info,facts and things about a specific athlete. The athlete I chose was usain bolt.

Bean bags for hire 3pt whole day

Walt: pursued the reader to agree with our message

Bean bags are one of the most angelic and serene places to sit on.

During class time the bean bags are available for hire to lean on. Instead of sitting on the cold and chafing  floor that you get burns from, or on a freezing hard plastic chair, you will be able to sit on a relaxing bean bag to do your work. In your very own V.I.P space.

The bean bags are filled with soft cotton beans and covered in a silky rubber skin. They can be shape shifted into the mould of your choice like play dough. You can choose to sit on the bean bag,  use it to lean back on , lie on it or sneak a bit of a sleep plus much more.

The bean bags come in two different colours , sapphire  Blue, and  sea-foam green. It’s your choice of which one you want to rest on.

The output is 3pt how good is that. Your payment can be deposited  at the beginning of the day and then you can use the beanbag for the rest of the day in all it will be 3pt for 4 and a half hours!

Remember for 3pt you can sit on a beanbag during class for at least four and a half hours.

Chicken flavoured worms!?

Has your teacher ever fed you warm , squirmy and fat worms?
