Why other schools need net books?-Explanation Writing

Printers,computers and other tech are things that make our school easier for us to learn,create and share.I always think to myself Is there anything that we need to improve on?There are always needs to make our school strive for success.I am going to talk to you about a need for other schools and that is a net book.

A net book has many media sources such as Google Docs,Presentation and Google Drawings.Google Drive is made to organise your work and with the correct use of it, children of a young age will develop how to manage themselves.If children can manage themselves,teachers won’t have to remind kids of what they have to do.

Another reason why other schools should have the experiences of net books is because these little devices have access to the internet and instead of waiting for a person on the class computer you can login and you are ready.If you have a net book then you can have faster access which helps you finish work on time.

My last reason is that the work you produce can be blogged for the world to see.This could help others know what you’re working on then they will get interested in how you produce your work and that could lead to them knowing about net books.

This is the conclusion of my explanation about net books and why they should be viral.Thank you for your time.

GREIG’S POINTED PROBLEM by Bronwyn Wall

GREIG’S POINTED PROBLEM by Bronwyn Wall
Click here to read the text

Why did Greig decide to design a new type of umbrella? Every time it started raining, someone would open their umbrella, and the sharp end of an umbrella rib was right at his eye so he wanted to create a new umbrella.

What is the history of the umbrella given in the text?The first umbrellas were invented thousands of years ago. They were used to protect people from the sun and were often made of paper. Then the Chinese discovered that if they covered their umbrellas with something that made them Waterproof, such as wax or lacquer, the umbrella would protect them from rain too. The basic design of the umbrella hasn’t changed much since then.

What new features did Greig design on the umbrella? He designed a frame with ribs that “float” (that aren’t attached to the material) to make sure that the fabric could not pull away. The ribs stretch into the blunt tips like fingers fitting into a glove. The tips have specially designed pockets that carry the tension of the fabric right to the edge - meaning the fabric can’t tear away and the edge of the umbrella is stronger. He also made his umbrella a bit flatter so that strong Winds could slide over the top more easily.

What is the name of Greig’s umbrella and why did he call it that?He called his umbrella the blunt umbrella because it had  no pointed ends to poke people,.

How did Greig test the umbrella? Greig took his prototype up to One Tree in Auckland during a storm to test ' umbrella, of course.

How does Greig’s work impact the world? The umbrella survived, so Greig made several functional he knew his concept worked.

Here is a text I read and also question i answered about the text.This text is based on man who created a umbrella.Read through my work to get a idea of the text!

Sam - ANZAC DAY - Cloze Task

Anzac Day  - Cloze Task

WALT-Use our comprehension skills to match key statements with the correct ANZAC words.

Most Anzac day services start  with a march of returned service personnel

wearing their  medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The

veterans are joined by other community groups, including members

from the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.

The march continues to the local war memorial, where a service takes place.

This includes the laying of wreaths of various organisations and members of

the public. Flowers have traditionally being  laid on graves and memorials in.

memory of the soldiers . Laurel and rosemary are often put

in wreaths.

Laurel are often used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour

and was woven as a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used

for  remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the who people that have died

fighting for New Zealand. The poppy has become the symbol of Anzac Day.

The Flanders poppy as it is currently called grew in the trenches and craters of the  war zone in Belgium and at Gallipoli. These poppies were wild in the spring. The soldiers thought of the

poppies as soldiers who had died. The poppy was very  famous by Colonel

J.M. McCrae's poem made of in Flanders' Fields. Poppies are sold on the day

before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]

This is  often "The Ode to the Fallen" was wrote by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in

the Times newspaper in 1914.They shall not grow old as we that they  are to grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down  of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.

The last post is  the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at

night to mark the end of the activities. It is also played at military

funerals and commemorative services to show the soldier's days has

drawn to  a final close. This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or  two minutes as a sign of respect for those who have died. After observing the silence the flags are

raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played. The Rouse

called the soldier's spirits to arise to fight   for another day.

The Reveille is played at  dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is

played only as the first call in the dawn. It woke the soldiers up  at

dawn. Often hymns were sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony

is to remember  those who died.
