Cyber Smart: Accurate Source Of Information
Today we looked at trusting information online. We had three options. It necessary to use clues to choose the correct or information source. Our first option was to trust a suspicious website the other was certified by the government, department of conservation. Second was the New Zealand Herald. We choose the department of conservation because of the fact it was probably official since a conservation scientist checked. We specifically chose that source as worthy since the first choice was differently fake and the other is sometimes right but not always
My Survival Kit
Today we made a survival kit for natural disasters or emergencies. We were limited to only ten resources for our survival kit.
Manaiakalnai Film Festival
On Tuesday the 8th. Glen Taylor School Visited Sylvia Park In Auckland which we went to go watch the Manaiakalnai film festival. The Manaiakalnai Film festival is when multiple schools from Auckland create films to share at the cinemas. They may be inspirational, comedies, helpful, thoughtful and even more. Once finished, schools get to go to the cinemas to watch the movies! And on Tuesday the 8th we went to watch them! I sat with my friends on the seats near the edge. The movies were so funny and interesting. My personal favourite was one called “Pokeblade” created by Panmure Bridge school which was incredibly funny! It was a combination of the Anime series “Pokemon!” and “Bey-blade.” Another favourite of mine was where my little brother randomly appeared to use his “Big” muscles that other kids that were older than him couldn’t. After all [school] films were shown, we went back to go Glen Taylor School.
Cyber smart: Plagiarising and Copyright
Today the class (Room Six) and Mr. Goodwin practised to not be “Caught” plagiarising or copyrighting (Though you shouldn’t even try at all.) We used this slide created by Mr. Goodwin to put information from websites while adding the link to prove our statements.

Today Mr. Goodwin taught us about copyright! We learned some basic fundamentals and watched a video simplifying copyright.
Maths: Multiplying Fractions
This week the class (Room six) has been learning about multiplying fractions. I’ve learnt the method to accumulate the total result (What it equals). It’s been a bit difficult but I can fluently do it with minor mistakes if given time. I have challenged myself to fully comprehend it and learn the basics (Mastered the basics) so I can use it for the future. Fortunately I have actually learnt how it works just struggle to do more advanced questions. Personally I think if I dedicated three days I could fully understand it. (Multiplying Fractions)
Cyber smart: Empowerment
Today our cyber smart teacher called Mr. Goodwin. He taught us about “Empowerment” which currently Mr. Goodwin used the term to define actually having more power than negative comments or anything sent to us that makes us uncomfortable. We had complected this slide which shows what we can do online. We had to use tics to tic it off. We also wrote who we could trust to confront to anything negative we didn’t like.
If someone ever those anything negative online make sure to show it to a trusted adult so they can take care of it.
Never reply back to anything negative.
