time lapse 2017-2117

Hey bloggers today my reading group read a short story called A Letter From The Future. It is about a class in 1917 writing a letter about all the stuff they had in 1917, then in 2017 a class wrote a letter back to the class in 1917 about what happens in 2017.

My teacher Mr Moore asked me a big question   

WHAT PREDICTIONS, BASED ON TRENDS, WOULD YOU MAKE ABOUT WHERE NEW ZEALAND WILL BE AT IN 100 YEARS?

100 years in the future I think that all the video games that are popular now will never get played in 100 years.

Here is a link I found and got a lot of my facts from 100 years

Deserts will become tropical forests

We will all be wired to computers to make our brains work faster

We will be able to control the weather

I think in one hundred years many people will be called by there computer names and there may be digital chips in our skeleton that we can use to ask Siri questions and other stuff. Also everyone should have a device of technology even babies, plus there should be internet everywhere despite the middle of the ocean.

I think in 100 years the population of New Zealand will be there will be around 18-20 million people. We should also have a mini television in our mind so we can watch anything.

Hope you enjoy

Production

 Kia ora, my name is Jarvis and I think our school production was a great success. It was about fresh and smooth, two yogurt containers get seperated and float around New Zealand meeting different animals and some other stuff. My part wat being a business man with the rest of room 8, we had to look like business men and women by dressing up nicely acting really busy we were also outside beehive. 

Our song was Walkie Talkie Man

Empathy

 Hi my name is Jarvis, during PB4L we have been learning about empathy 

It is important to show empathy towards people because you might not no what they are going through or how they are feeling.

In our lesson we learned about 3 character's who are Patrick, Phyllis and Jason. My favorite character is Patrick and his bulliness from jason,

he doesn't want to lose Jason because Patrick doesn't do well with his grades and he relies on Jason to do it. But Jason has been really mean however Patrick is to frightened to stand up for him self

If you are in a bad argument with somebody and you are getting mad just walk away, take a deep breath and get a drink of water.

A simple idea you can remember about empathy is to keep your cool and keep drinking water.

Have you every felt empathy? If you have when was your deepest empathy?

Samoan earthquakes

 Welcome back everybody.

In class we have been learning to compare and to contrast. My reading group have been reading lots of tsunami and earthquake books we have also been reading a class novel called the Canterbury Quake. Yesterday we read a story called the strength of roots it is about a boy who is using his knife to cut branches then a tsunami came and hit him but he clung onto the tree. Today we read a story called The Hungry Wave it is about a girl who had to run from a tsunami and her brother saved her.   

The two man character's in this story are called Ana and a boy the we don't no the name of. They were both caught in the tsunami except a tree saved the boy and Ana's brother saved here.

All of these bad earthquakes and tsunami's in the stories are true stories from Samoa,

there is a difference between these terrible situations because one of them is in the forest and one is in a village.

Many parts of Samoa were affected by this earthquake Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga.

This earthquake and tsunami badly affected by the 8.1 earthquake.

Here is a link to a good sight that you can learn more about the Samoan earthquake, LINK,
