What I Have Been Doing In Debate.

 Things we have been up to in class.

We have been working on skills to get better at debating, we have been debating with each other, we have also been writing persuasive paragraphs.

I have been enjoying this class a lot as I really like debating, with some of the topics it's a bit harder because some of the things I have been debating about I disagree with them personally.

My thoughts on school starting a team next year is a great idea! Hornby High doesn't have many teams like that, and it will be a great opportunity for kids that want to participate! I am also thinking about joining the team!

B&E

                            B&E Project

In Business and Enterprise, we have been making Beaded Bracelets for Market Day! My group and I have been practicing making them for ourselves and others.

I have really been enjoying making the beaded bracelets and rings!

Below I will put in some pictures of a couple of things we have made.

 I made this one for my teacher, Mrs. Costello, her first name is Emma just like me!

Forensics - Footprint Analysis.

 One of the reasons that Forensic Scientists look for footprints, is so that they find it easier to find and arrest the suspects that commit the crime. 

Some differences they look for in the footprints is, 

- Designs, Patterns, Tread.

- Arch.

- Length and Width.

-Shape.

-Wear.

Finding footprints, helps the forensic scientist identify the walking style and help predict height.

ICT class

 Today in ICT we were working on editing! We were practicing putting logos on shoes, drink bottles, etc. 

I really enjoyed doing this. 

I made 3 things, I will show you what I made down below.

The Springbok Tour Protests

Questions

1- What is another word for apartheid? Apartness, laws separating people of different races, in areas such as schools, beaches, hospitals, marriages, sports, and voting.

2- Why did the protesters need helmets? They needed to were helmets because it was violent, and the police had very long batons, they kicked and smashed there batons at the protesters.

3- Why do you think being called honorary whites upset the Maori All Blacks? I think it would upset them as people are being racist, and they are being compared to white people.

4- Why was the Hamilton rugby game cancelled? Hundreds of people were running onto the field, which cause the game to be cancelled.

5-Do you think this protest was successful? Why? I think that it was successful as it ended the tour. But it was awful that it happened in the first place.
