My online learning

 Hey guys this is just a short blog post about how my online learning going.Today we were learning how to identify the coordinates on a graph.You can identify the coordinates on a graph by finding the target on the graph,then identify the x axis then do same with the y axis.If you can master that you will be able to identify any problem about graphs.Identify graphs are actually a really good skill because if you want to become a law enforcer you can use this skill.How you the skill is that you can identify coordinates on a graph and you can use it to track bad guys.Anyways here is the online class.I was using my skill to find out the different places on the map.

my life during lockdown

 My life in lockdown hasn't really changed that much except for staying inside part.lockdown hasn't really gotten to me that much mostly because we have only been in lockdown for about 2 days.These two days haven't been that boring like I have always found some enjoyable to do so my life during lockdown isn't that bad.

World Problems

 As you guys now there is a lot of world problems going around like Climate change,wars,Poverty,Religious conflicts,Government corruption.Lots of these problems happen mostly in very poor countries like certain places in Africa or Madagascar and Nigeria.The common problems is poverty and Government corruption.poverty is mainly in Madagascar and Africa because of its poor conditions,No one wants to see people starving to death or working so hard just to get a few cents.Government corruption is another problem.Nigeria had a problem with their police.The was a police unit called SARS*special anti robbery squad*.It was first formed in 1992 around last year 2020 and late 2019 SARS was now fully corrupted.They were killing dozens of innocent people,Arresting people for nothing.Around the middle of 2020 things got a lot worse so people couldn't just stand around they took action a made a movement called #ENDSARSLots of people took action and started making videos on different social media platforms like Tiktok or Instagram and facebook.They were sharing the horror that was going on in nigeria.And remember this happend during the covid Pandimic so its a lot more dangerous than you think.Albert ainstein once said The problems that exist in this world cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.don't hide in the shadows if you see something wrong stand up.

lockdown

 

As everyone in New Zealand knows the has been a national level four Lockdown.The first ever level four Lockdown for New Zealand started way back on the 25 of march at 11:59pm the lockdown started.Although the lockdown seemed not that bad at the start because kids didn't have to go to school and parents didn't have to work*except some people*so the country just went on with their daily lives except the are inside.People could still go out of the house but only to grab necessities from the supermarket or the dairy and to go exercise by walking around your local neighborhood but always remember to wear your face mask and keep a two meter distance between  people you walk past.

Thank you card

Hello bloggers today we have been learning about war.My teacher had assigned to us to make a thank you card for all the medics and nurses.What I have learned during the week is that nurses played a big role in the war and they are really important to the soldier not just because they heal the soldiers but it more about giving soldier hope and positive thoughts.The nurses provide a very good enviroment for the soldiers so they can forget about whats happening in the battlefield but giving them a good warm welcome from home.What is your guys opinion about nurses in WWI?

Propaganda Poster By Joseph

✨  Hello bloggers✨ Today me and my classmates made this wonderful propaganda poster.We worked on the poster for not that long but it was pretty hard because everyone had different ideas and we didn't know what to pick but we still did it.What I have learned about propaganda poster is that in Germany you didn't really have a choice all men had to join the war and the British don't really force you to join so that is one difference between.Their are a lot more reasons why the British and German recruiting tactics are not the same but I wont bored you.
