School is the best place to make mistakes

School is the best place to make mistakes, which I strongly agree with. I think it should be because school is a place to learn new things, increase your knowledge and it can also help you have a positive mindset knowing that you can learn from your mistakes.

Learning new things in school can really help increase your chance of getting a good job in the future. For example, if you were to become a doctor. You would probably be making mistakes every now and then. This is because you are learning something new and it is something you have never done before. I could be your first time and you might ace it or you might completely fail. In my opinion, I think that mistakes are more important than getting answers correct and you are not learning anything new.

Increasing your knowledge, a way to grow your brain to do amazing skills and know lots of things that can help you in the future. Growing knowledge like reading some cool or random facts of the internet and not knowing that before reading it. Increasing knowledge is an insane way to keep your brain on track and focused. Learning something new creates a new pathway which you lead you into your future life. In my opinion, I would love to learn something new and random every day to increase my knowledge.

Having a positive mindset, and knowing that you can learn from your mistakes is crucial. Having a good mindset can help you become a lot more positive and more inspired to keep on going and doing your best. For example, if you were in a soccer game and you lost. Most people would feel down but if you have a positive mindset you would learn from that and practice with your team a lot more and try to work on things that your team needs to work on. Having a positive mindset is very important because it could change the way you think and how you learn from your mistakes. In my opinion, I think that having a positive mindset is very important and try to remember.

So, is school the best place to make mistakes? In my opinion, Of course! School is where you learn something new and making mistakes help you learn something new. Increasing knowledge, having a positive mindset and making mistakes is normal for everyone. Making mistakes is what pushes you further to learn more and achieve more. And that is why I think making mistakes at school is perfectly fine and normal for all.

The Class Essay

Introduction

Too expensive, too uncomfortable and too unsuitable. The Hornby High School uniform should be changed. This is because it costs too much, it is unbearably irritating to wear, and is unsuitable for the various seasons.

SEXY Paragraphs

[S] Some Hornby families can not afford the school uniform

[E] For example, some caregivers find the $130 jacket too excessive.

[X] This is because they need the money for other necessities such as food, power, and rent. This is a terrible situation for substantially sized families.

[Y] Do we want our students to be starving, cold or homeless, just for the school uniform?

[S] Not only is it too expensive, but it is extremely uncomfortable.

[E] For instance, the socks, jersey, and shirts are all confining and itchy.

[X] This distracts from learning. We want our students ready to learn - always.

[Y] Wool it ever stop?

[S] As well as the uniform being too expensive and comfortable, it is inappropriate for certain weather conditions.
[E] We see this when students are wearing non-regulation jackets or jerseys to be warm when its cold and wet.

[X] “The skirts are far too cold on a wildly wet and windy winter’s day,” said Kirsty, a year 10 student.

[Y] Jaymee -another year 10 student- commented that they could end up dying from hypothermia if the uniform does not change.

Conclusion

Change the school uniform now! Why? Because it costs too much, it is horrible and intolerable to wear, and it is totally ill-equipped for New Zealand’s moody Mother Nature. A better quality uniform will result in better quality learning.

[10DTE] Growing NZ Innovation Challenge

Introduction

During DTE this term, we have been working on a project in our own chosen groups which is called the Growing NZ Innovation Challenge. We have been tasked with a problem and finding a way to solve this idea. We only had 5 weeks to do this but it was enough time for all of us.

Groups

These are the groups

Moisty Billboard: Braxton, Cameron and Me.

Team 4: Oskar, Jackson, and Jesse

W.O.R.D: 

Special Needs: 

(I don't know the other groups, these are just some)

Reflection

During this project, I would say that we did a good amount of work with a couple of distractions. I would also say that most of the people in our group did work whilst the other person did not do much work at all. Our problem was to find a way to spot a water leakage and how to fix it. We created a prototype which we created which is a modified fire alarm which senses a water leakage running down a pipe and then makes a really loud and annoying sound when there is a leakage. We then created a presentation with a science cardboard looking theme. We added information about our problem and stuck our prototype onto the board. The information on the board introduced the idea and then had our enablers which were HHP which stands for High Hydrostatic Pressure which sees how big of the leakage is. Our second enabler was N&S which stands for Network and Sensors which would sense if there is a water leakage. We then presented our information to the class, we had 1 person who didn't really co-operate with any speaking roles but overall it was a decent presentation.

I really enjoyed this process and would really recommend trying this project. I would do it again if we could as I know what do learn and to for next time.

Question

My question for you would be, did you know anything about this challenge?
What do you think about our work? And what could you do to improve our idea?

[10Hee] Blogging on Spiritual Well-Being

What do you think spiritual wellbeing was before you started this unit?
I thought that spiritual well-being is what you believe in.

What is spiritual well-being about?
Spiritual well-being isn't just about what you believe in, it's about making goals and achieving them step by step. It is also about dreams and what you want to do in the future.

Why does everyone have different spiritual well-being?
Everyone has different beliefs, such as god, love, ghosts, aliens and more! People also have different goals they want to work up to and different dreams of what they want to be!

What area of spiritual well-being that you need to improve on and why?
I think I need to work on setting goals that I can achieve so I can further reach my dreams.

What is a goal you have about life?
My goal is having a good life with a good family, and having a good job and not live a repetitive life, like sleeping wake up, eat, work and then come back home, eat and sleep and repeat over and over again. 

[10Eng] Persuasive Writing - Should students learn a second language

Learning a language can be difficult and easy depending on if the students really want to learn. It could help you in the future like getting a good job which requires a new language or if you were to go to another country, you could even speak to them and understand them! It gives students an opportunity to learn something new that could help them succeed in the future. But sometimes there is the other side of the spectrum. We have the cons, such as waste of time or maybe get forced to learn something they don’t want to learn, do you want to learn something that you don't enjoy or don't want to learn? Exactly. They could learn something they enjoy and might become better at something passionate that they enjoy. I personally think that learning a new language is a choice and not something that is forced.
