Cybersmart challenge: Charging your Chromebook

So for today's Cybersmart challenge, we put together everything we were familiar with for our input of our chromebook.

Attitude Talks !

Today we had a person called Jana who got sent from a place called Attitude. She talked to us about how we can compliment others to make them feel comfortable and confident about themselves, she talked to us about what animal we are based on our personality, she talked to us about our choices and how those can shape our future, and she also talked to us about our genes from our family. We also played a game where we get into a circle and put your finger into someone elses palm and with your other hand, you put your palm out for someone elses finger to go in. She gave us a word for her to say for us to try and escape someone elses palm and to catch the other persons finger. It was very fun to have her talk to us today. Thank you Jana !

Prime Minister

So today the Prime Minister (AKA) Jacinda Ardern, came to Pt England School. She came because the yr 4s in rm 21 sent her a email about our free lunches we receive daily from the lunch people. She wanted to have lunch with us, so she visted room 1-5 with some students from rm 21 who were all seperated into different classes with us yr 7s & 8s,she asked some people how their lunches were and some people asked her questions aswell. She then took a walk around the school and everyone had to stay on the field and around the area of team 5 and 4. She then got interviewed by Nadia and Aye.They asked her a few questions about her and her job. Then after that I'm guessing she went to sit with the teachers for lunch. Then after that she went home... The end

Niue Facts

This week is Niuean language week ! I have learnt some facts about the island that I am going to be sharing them with you! Fact 1. Niue is a tiny country in the pacific ocean, a free country, but still not a UN member. Just like the Cook Islands, Niue is in free association with New Zealand, so it's basically represented by it. Furthermore, since New Zealand's the head of state is Queen Elizabeth ll, she is also Niue's monarch. Fact 2. The entire country is just one island, with an area of 260 square km and a population of 1200 people. That means that the entire country is only around 6 times smaller than london. Even more suprising is that 90 to 95% of all niuean ethnics in the world live in New Zealand, not Niue. Fact 3. Despite it's small size, Niue does have a capital, but it's not exactly a city, but rather a village called Alofi. Alofi has a population of less than 1000 people and it consists of two villages: Alofi north and Alofi south. Alofi is the worlds smallest capital by population, after Palau's Capital Ngerulmud. Fact 4. The famous James Cook was the first European to site Niue, in 1774. He named the island "Savage Island" because the people didn't let him land and appeared to be painted in blood. His name stuck for centuries, until the original name was reinstated, a name which means "behold the coconut" Fact 5. In 1885 Niueans wrote to Queen Victoria of the UK to willingly join her empire. but it was only in 1901 that Niue was brought witing the boundaries of New Zealand. In 1974 New Zealand restored Niue's self goverance, after a referendum in which most people opted for it. Fact 6. In it's entire history, Niue had only one political party: The Niue people's party. but even this party didn't last long, as it was disbanded in 2003. As of 2017, there a no political parties in Niue, only independent MP's. Fact 7. because Niue is a raised coral attol, it has geograghy and coastline like few other Islands. The cave systems are among the most spectacular and intensive in the south pacific. It's not suprising that niue is one of the most appreciated destinations in the entire pacific. Here's the link to the video If you want to know which one I got these facts from.
