How to write an Etiquette Email

Today for cybersmart, we had to make a DLO on email etiquette. For those who don't know what email etiquette means, it means having good manners and more when sending an email. Next time I write an email to someone I will make sure I have email etiquette. Today I learnt that when you're applying for a job and make a mistake in your email, you won't get the job.

I enjoyed doing this because I learnt lot's of new things about Winter and Summer Solstice. Another thing I learnt was how to make an animation. This was really fun making my first animation.

Winter Solstice: Saturnalia


Shannon and I made have made this DLO about Saturnalia, which is a winter solstice celebration in Italy. Countries all over the world have winter solstice.  Countries have these celebrations because it is the marking of a new beginning in there country, where they can grow new crops and harvest the grown crops.

Panmure Bridge School: Blackout Day

Today, to celebrate the Lions tour Panmure Bridge School had a Blackout Day to support either the Lions or the All Blacks. For Blackout Day I supported the All Blacks because I think they are the stronger side. First off we sang the song Tu Tere Mai. Then after that, the Kapa Haka group did there Haka while LS2 held up a sign for the people who play in the All Blacks. Next the whole school had to gather up on the field and spell out All Blacks. Everyone was given a number from 1 to 9 nine. If you were given a number you had to go and stand on a spray painted letter. To make sure we did it perfect Mr Wong flew a drone above us to see. Lastly we all formed a big circle on the courts to pass a rugby ball.

Choking - First Aid Instructions

Today we read a book called buttons. It was about a lady called Mrs Law and her kids. When she went to get the phone she accidently spilt the button container. Then after she got off the phone she noticed her daughter Hannah coughing and her face turning red. Mrs Law thought that she was choking on a button. But when she went to the doctors, the doctors said that there was a button in the fold of her dress. Then after reading that we had to make a poster on what to do when someone is chocking.

Read Theory

Today for read theory I read a book called El Cadejo. It was about two El Cadejo. There is a black Cadejo and a white Cadejo. The white Cadejo is friendly and will not harm you, but the black Cadejo will try to hurt you. The El Cadejo only comes out a night. I had to answer 7 questions about the book. I think I did really good because I got all the questions right. By getting the questions right, I earned myself 41 knowledge points. I learnt that the white Cadejo will lead to to safety and will get you far away from dangerous animals.

I chose the Lemur. I chose the Lemur because I interested on how the Lemur looked like. My favorite feature of a Lemur is the tale because it has good looking stripes. I learnt that ring tailed Lemurs spend a lot more time on the ground than any other species of Lemurs.
