[English]- "Expressive Writing: Why are uniforms important?"

Why are uniforms important? 

As a formal student at Tamaki College, in Glen Innes, Auckland, I will speak with respect to announce that uniforms are important, and there are numerous reasons as to why that is. Within this piece of writing, I will be stating the importance of uniforms, and why they are important.

People... students specifically, may have no idea what the importance of uniforms are, and they wouldn’t know what uniforms can do. Well first of all, uniforms come in a price, and sooner or later... we have to pay that price with the help of our parents or family members, in order for us to ‘fit in.’ Not all that we just have to ‘fit in’, it’ll make us comfortable in any way possible. Most students nowadays, have no respect towards uniform, as they consider them as, “similarity between themselves and others.” I get the reason as to why most students would prefer ‘other clothes’ than ‘uniform,’ as they are willing to look different from the rest, therefore… to either gain popularity or to be different from others.

Have you ever wondered about what uniforms can do for you, and others? Well, you may not be thinking about others, if you were to be thinking about yourself… am I right? There are students out there, who are feeling worried if the school were to be a ‘non-uniform’ school. Most of us never witness or feel that ever happen to ourselves, and that is what I am going to talk about. Imagine if you didn’t have enough clothes to go around for the years of living life as a student in college. Agonising, am I right… well that’s the thing for most students who have insufficient funds, meaning not having much money to pay for new clothes of such.

Money is everything, and everything is from money. If you’re starting to get an idea of what I’m trying to talk about, you should also have a reason as to what having no uniform, such as the effects that can be caused within your social and your mental/emotional well beings. You may never know whether someone is having a bad day, so ideally think that people should start thinking about what they’re saying because that could lead to a cause. A cause in which will affect their opinions on their very own lives. So therefore, it is always wise to follow this well-known quote, “Think before you do” - Efthimis.

[Science]- "Atom & Electronic Configuration"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout this term (term 2) in Science with Mr Tyagi & Ms Smallwood, we've been learning and discussing about, "atoms" & the "electronic configuration." Mostly about atoms and what they are. I find this unit quite interesting, as it relates to things in life that we may be capable of coming upon it throughout our lives... Here is my definition of what atoms and electronic configuration are. Please feel free to leave a comment down below in the comments section for any advice on what I can do better in the future, I'd appreciate that. Thanks :)

The Structure Of An Atom & The Electronic Configuration:

Atoms are commonly known as the “basic units” of matter, in which is the structure of elements. They consist of three particles known to be, protons, neutrons & electrons. Protons and Neutrons are in the centre of an atom, which is inside the nucleus. Electrons however, are located around the nucleus, in orbits well-known to be called orbital shells or energy shells. Electronic configuration is informed by the particles of atoms, in which you are able to find in an element, example; Sodium has an Atomic Mass of 23, and an Atomic Number of 11, the electronic configuration of this element is 2,8,1.

S.No	Name Of The Element	Symbol	Atomic Mass	Atomic Number	Electronic Configuration
1	Sodium	Na	23	11	2,8,1

Equation:

Atomic Number= Number Of Protons

Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons

Number Of Neutrons = Mass Number= Atomic Number

Number Of Electrons = Number Of Protons = Atomic Number

An atom that is charged is called= iON

Losing electrons= Positive

Gaining electrons= Negative

Sharing electrons= Partial Positive or Partial Negative

[Health)- "Why Tobacco is sometimes chewed, and sometimes smoked"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout the term of learning about drugs/alcohol and the affects that they can do, we've been given a task to complete and that is to... reflect back onto the certain drug and find the differences between them. Here is a Google Drawing presentation that I've created which will inform you of the differences between "Chewing tobacco," and "Smoking tobacco." Click the image above to see what I've written in which what I have learnt about tobacco. Thank you for your time!

[Health] - "Tobacco Affects On Hauora/Well being"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout this term, we've been learning mostly about drugs and alcohol. Today, we've been given a task to complete and the task was to figure out which Hauora or Well being could be affected by Tobacco. Here is an image that shows the dimensions affected by tobacco. Thank you for your time. 

[Health] - "An Intro To Drugs In New Zealand"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Here is a presentation I've created for our topic, "Intro to drugs in NZ." Press the next button to continue through my presentation!

[DigiTech] - "Sustainability Multi-level Game"

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout the weeks of learning, creating and sharing in DigiTech (ICT) with Ms Anderson, we've been focusing on how to create a game using an online game creator named "Scratch." As you may of have seen, I've been blogging what I've been working on during DigiTech based on developing my game. The outcome of our task was to have a Sustainability based game which has multiple levels and here is what I've come up with, my very own game. All the graphic art designs such as the sprites and backdrops were all created by me, scripts how ever... I got the idea of it from another game which has a link to it within Scratch itself. If you're willing to play my game, which you are most welcome to... here are the instructions and a couple of hints listed down below, click on the "Green Flag" to begin the game! Good luck and enjoy :) Thank you for visiting my blog, I appreciate it very much and please leave some feedback if you have any questions about my game...

INSTRUCTIONS:
Use the arrow keys to jump and move left and right.  You can use the down arrow key to dive on Level 3. There is a 60 second time limit to make it through all the levels, so you must hurry! The levels within the game pop up within approximately 4 seconds so be patient. 

HINTS FOR QUESTIONS: 
1. P_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
2. ANSWER:  Oamaru Creek 
3. 44 divided by 3 + 0.0333333 + 0.20
4. S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

Focus: Get to school before your time of 60 seconds runs out. 
Game produced only for audiences over the age of 10, Students @Tamaki College are most welcome to play this game. 

[Health] - Drugs & Alcohol (Brainstorm)

Greetings and welcome to my new blog post! Throughout this entire term of learning about the four dimensions within life with Ms Dougherty. Now I've progressed through to the next unit which is "Drugs & Alcohol." Here is a Google Drawing, made brainstorm that I've created to inform my Health teacher, Ms Dougherty of what I am willing to learn within the unit of Drugs & Alcohol. Click the image above to view my brainstorm. Thank you very much for visiting my blog, I appreciate it a lot! You're most welcome to check out my blog anytime! Please leave some feedback about what you think about my learning, I'd be happy to get new ideas from you :)
