I.C.T Hornby project

This semester for one of my options I have chosen I.C.T witch stands for information communication technology. In this I.C.T class, we have been looking at photoshop and editing images. At the end of this term, we were assigned to make a post to represent our school and its logo. We were given two images that were part of our school one being our school logo and the other being a photo of the front of our school we had the choice to use one image if we wanted or we could use both of the images we were given. I had started my project by going onto Unsplash and choosing a background that I wanted after choosing a background I had discided that I didn't like it as much so I had chosen a different background. After choosing my background and taking I over to photoshop I had chosen the Hornby image that I wanted witch was the image of the front of our school, After choosing which image I wanted I masked my image so that I would only get the school building after doing all the editing o four school building I had taken the image and put it over the background I had chosen. Then after all that I decided that it looked a bit boring and that I wanted to add a bit o fa cultural design because I know that our school does a lot of things around a lot of cultures, so I had gon onto google and picked a design that I really like and added it to my project. After all that editing I had finally finished my project for our school and the end of term.

The project that I designed.

Daylight Savings

Today for period 3 we have homeroom with Mrs Hastie. Mrs Hastie has asked us to answer some questions on daylight saving in New Zealand. She has given us a document that has all the question and has asked us to make a blog post on the questions we have answered.

Here is the question that answered.

Research and answer the following questions about Daylight Saving NZ in a blog post

1. When does Daylight Saving happen each year in New Zealand?

1. In New Zealand, daylight saving starts on the last Sunday of September.

2. What year did it start in NZ?

1. Daylight saving first started in 1927.

3. Why was Daylight Saving started? 

1. So that farmers could have more time working at night. It saved the farmer money on power.

4. 4 I think daylight saving should continue because I like the daylight during the night. I also like it in the morning because when I walk out the door it's nice and sunny. But my favourite thing about daylight saving is everyone gets the time at night confusing so we go to bed later than usual.

5. Do all the states in Australia have Daylight Saving? Who does and who doesn’t?

1. In Australia, they do have daylight saving in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Cranberry Territory and Norfolk Islands But not in  Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

6. Write 3 tips to help others adjust to Daylight Saving this weekend.

1. One tip is to always check the time

2. Set alarms in the morning to wake up on time

3. Avoid coffee and alcohol and don't take long naps.

Reading Tangata Whenua

For the last two week, I have been working on a book about New Zealand and the history behind it. The book I got is about Tangata Whenua, The name of the book is Tupaia. Tupaia is about the native people that lived here first before captain cook came to New Zealand.

For one of my activities, I had to describe in my own words what the word mana means.

Here is the work I did for this period.

Is the Milo healthy for you ?

Today for health and math we are taking an item that we might use every day and looking at all the ingredients inside of the item. The item that I chose is Milo.

What to look at.

So when you are looking at the label's at the back with all the ingredients it goes from most which are the most inside of the item that you got then it goes to the least which means it has a lest of this inside that item.

What's in milo.

With milo, the most ingredient inside of it is barley which is 34% out of 200grams and the least amount of ingredients inside is flavour.

I hope you learn something from this blog post
