Hello everyone today we are writing about Being abler to be confident when public speaking is an important life skill. This is very true because people really need this in their lives. It helps them in times of need like when they are told to speak in front of class or school I am not saying that you will get picked but sometimes will be so yeah you should be ready for that day, and ready for that day to speak. We children need this because we are the future of mankind this could help one day sooner or later. Reserch says Public speaking improves young people's overall communication skills, increases self-esteem and confidence, plans and organize their thoughts, expresses their ideas in front of the class, and develops leadership skills. ... It is an essential skill to learn and master. So yeah I hope you see my point of view, and also please comment on my blog.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Week 8 Do now
Hello everyone welcome back today we are doing another do now we haven't done one for a long time because we had to finish off some work. But today's topic is the most important subject to learn in school. So I politely disagree because in New Zealand there is more than one language spoken not including the pacific languages. They are Sign language, English, and Maori. This is why English is not an important language. All the languages are important and special in ways. We want all the other languages above to be taught in school. I know Maori is being taught but the sign is not so they should be taught more often in schools so yeah I hope you see my point of view Please comment if you agree with me. I am very sorry if anyone finds this offensive. Thank you

Good afternoon everyone today we are writing a blog post about another topic in the Hornby High School behavior system 4 Learning. One of my options is to be ready for learning. It because I would be ready by charging my Chromebook and bringing my charger just in case. Another is to do my personal best. Also, my other one is to Believe in myself. Always use good manners during class.
I also have some options I didn't highlight are have a growth mind and Remain focussed. I am going to work on both this by challenging myself and remaining focused by doing something else.

Week 5 Do now
Hello everyone today we are talking and debating about another topic. Today's topic is the principal is the most important person in the school. I that I don't agree with. For our school, the principal is not the important person in our school. Because he is not the only person working the teachers are as well. so he thinks that they are all the people that are important in the school. That is why I do not agree with this statement. It is also for a good reason. That even the principal even agreed with it. I hope you see my point of view.

Consecrations and dielusional
Hello everyone today we are writing a blog about concentration and dilution. What is concentration? A concentration is how much of something has been dissolved. We can measure it in two ways. By how to dilute something [how weak it is]. How concentrated something is [how strong it is]. What is a dilution? A dilution is making something weaker. There will be fewer particles in this liquid.
My method was to move 5ml from one to another. I have seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this was the best thing ever. When we started from the first type and it was very purple and when we got to the end it was very lacking purple I should say. Our solvent was very strong and it was also. The potasium permananate was strong puple but right after it was lite purple.
