Intro

Hi my name is Halle and I’m partnered with James and Eva we are on the negating team.  Our Moot is that technology does more good than harm. I am the first speaker and I will be talking about how gaming makes new friends and that we aren’t alone by using technology.

James will be our second will be talking about the news and music and YouTube

Eva will be the third speaker will be Talking about social media                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

1stSpeaker  

Technology does not make you lonely because you can play live video games like Borderlands, CSGO, Rocket league, Payday, Minecraft servers whatever you would like to play and talk to friends on a gaming platform.

Platforms for the games like steam that allow you to talk to friends and make new ones. For example, my brother did play Rocket league and he made a friend called Mush who also played CSGO and Borderlands they communicated using discord a chat room that can have video feed for just talking to each other. With steam, if anything bad happens it can be reported and that person will be banned from the game immediately, and can’t go back on to the game ever again.

When we game we tell our friends about the game we tell them to get it, they do and you play together, talk to each other, work together.  You aren’t alone when you use technology because we can play multiplayer.

The opposition will tell you that looking at your phone makes you more alone well they are wrong  because we do socialize with our parents using social media as eva will go deeper into later on in the debate

2nd Speaker

I personally don't feel lonely when on technology so that is why I'm here and debating about this topic here are some reason's why I think it doesn't make you Feel lonely. Have you ever missed the news? Well on technology you can just search up the news

when ever and it is always updating. Sometimes the news is right at the time but then the weather changes and you don't know that until you search up the news and it's always updating so it is never wrong. You've also got so many websites like Stuff, News Hub, NZ Herald Etc

Music also can make you less lonely because a song can put you in a good mood. Sometimes a listening to music is good for students studying for long periods of time because when I'm working I enjoy listening to music and I don't feel lonely ever when I'm listening to music.

YouTube can make you less lonely because you can search up things to help you with maths and homework. Also you can search up stuff to help you with school work

Speaker 3

I personally think that technology does not make you lonely

Because you can skype, facetime and use other messaging apps to message and to communicate and stay in touch with friend and family.It is the same with social media

You can share and like your friends and family photos.While there’s  no face to face contact while making new friends, social media makes it easier than ever to connect with new people.

Technology can help decrease the feeling being isolated or lonely by simply dialling the number and speaking to friend and family member.Technology also doesn't make you

Feel not  lonely because you will never be alone knowing that there's always someone to talk to. starting a social media account you parent would probably be hesitant because  of  stranger danger but there are setting on social  media like in Instagram and Facebook when you can make your account private so only the people who you let follow can see you photos. In conclusion if think that technology does not make you lonely but make you more social and interactive

How smoking affects the human brain, bones and muscle

How smoking affects the human brain, bones and muscle

Why does smoking affect your health? Smoking is the biggest cause of preventable deaths in New zealand, accounting for more than 80,000 deaths each year. One in two smokers will die from a smoking-related disease.

The effects to the brain are making your chances higher of having a stroke than someone who does not. It makes a brain aneurysm a brain aneurysm is a bulge in the blood vessel caused by a weak point in the blood vessel, when it ruptures causing blood to rush into the skull causing a stroke which will usually lead to a very bad stroke called subarachnoid which will lead and cause brain damage and even death. But the good news that if you stop within 2 years of when you start the effect. Now what do you think will happen to the muscle and bones? Let's find out.

Smoking can cause you bones to become weak and brittle. Smoking gradually decreases your bone density over the course of your life. This leads to low bone density, and usually go faster on older women. It makes your hips very likely to get them fractured and it can help if you Quit as early in life and if you do it reduces these risks compared if you do when you're older. If you smoke your bones get weaker because of the ingredients in the cigarettes it makes it harder for the bones to make a tissue.

Graffiti wall

We were learning about the human machine we were searching up facts and then making them into graffiti.

Leaf art

As it is Autumn, we thought we would use some of the leaves, sticks and other natural products found on the ground to create some leaf animals.  First we decided on our animal or mythical creature, then we planned out the leaves we would need to create our artwork.  Once we collected our leaves we glued them on to the paper (some required hot glue guns) and then presented our art. This is my Art it was supposed to be a pig but it didn't turn out how I thought.

te reo game

We have been learning about days of the week in Te Reo.  We have learnt the assimilation and traditional names.  To show our learning we created Te Reo games.

ANZAC: Dulce et decorum est

For writing we have been reconstructing a poem following the structure of Dulce et decorum est by wilfred owen.
Miss hooper read us instructions and we constructed our own poem  about ANZAC.

This is my poem:

A comrade gone

We are coughing most of us have scars and cuts

Some are clutching their chests, falling to their knees hearing gunshots hit my comrades.

I start hopping away from the gunshot my ears started to bleed from the noise

I start tripping over my feet then I found some shelter.  

We walk and trip over our feet we drag our feet along the ground to tried to pick up our feet. Our shirts are ripped as we march on through the pain

Cut feet and throbbing thighs.

Our heads were spinning as thoughts race through our heads. Will we get home?

“Gas Everyone”! I yelled as everyone sprinted for their gas mask.

They pull out their mask as speedy as they can. Then put it on.

But one can not ,he is too far away from the kits he breaths heavily as the poison get into his body.

The poison is a very dark green we look for each other but instead we go away from each other.  

The man with no mask appears from the dark green gas coughing and his eyes wide open he breathes hard. Grasping my arms he's gone I think to myself.

Imagine this, We put him in the wagon with a pale face his head as cold as ice, his eyes rolling around in his head. I felt sad as I watch my comrade died, as I remember watching him coughing and spluttering falling to his knees.

He's rolling around in the wagon.  

Blood draining out of his mouth turning into a puddle of blood,

He was so white expected for the red blood and green mucus,

With every cough blood and mucus came out of his mouth like a fountain,

It's a sight you don't want to see.

For you who have not experience this sight you do not want to.

It not a good sight to see a comrade died in front of your eyes.

So don't tell your kids this story or else they'll have nightmares.

And this is a soldier's tale.    

Kei te pehea Koe

Today we did some maori emotions  

NZ flag referendum

WALT: use our plan to write a discussion text, which tells the history of the flag, and both points of view.

Success Criteria:

• Has an introduction which tells us what the text is going to be about.
• Has one paragraph explaining the history of the flag.
• Has one paragraph explaining why we should keep the flag.
• Has one paragraph explaining why we should change the flag.
• Has a conclusion saying what your opinion is on the flag debate.

Model introduction:

Between the 3rd-24th March 2016 there will be a referendum held in New Zealand as to whether we should officially change the flag.  A referendum is when the public (over 18) are asked to vote on a question from the government about our nation.  The public will be deciding between the current NZ flag and the Silver Fern Flag.  

We are having a flag referendum whose side will you be on? Will you choose to change or keep the flag? Do you think that it should be that you have to be 18 and over to vote?

The NZ flag has had a busy history.The flag we currently have was made in 1902 by lieutenant Albert Hastings Markham. We have had 3 official flags we flew the british flag. Some think that Albert copied the Australian flag.We had the union jack, which is the national flag of the United Kingdom.

One side of the referendum is to keep the flag. Why you should keep the flag? Some reasons are because there was so much money spent on it that could of fed people in need or helped the environment. We have family who died with in the war with the flag.

There are multiple reasons for changing the flag. We are sometimes mistaken for australia. We could have a New flag though up by our by our own country members and a new look for New Zealand.

I don’t think we should change the flag because we have history behind it. Do you think we should change the flag?
