Welcome to Cyber-Fails News.............

For manaiakalani this week we had to record a video about how to hold your computer properly. So that our manaiakalani teacher, Mr Fourie could show them to some of the junior classes that he is teaching. I did mine with oof my friends Sierra. We made a We Video and pretended to be new presenters for Cyber-Fails News. We found it hard to be serious when we were recording the video because we kept laughing. We found it easy to put together the video and we learnt how to make a video go from normals speed to slow motion and then back to normal speed.

Lockdown Good or Bad??

Over lockdown we had to write a persuasive essay about whether we think that lock dow is good or bad and if we think it was working or not. In my opinion I think that lockdown is good and that it is working. I found it hard at first to find good ideas for my points. I learnt quite a bit about lockdown and what its good for. I found it easy to write the essay once I got my ideas.

Is Lockdown Working?
I think that the lock down is good because in the long run we won't have to deal with an outbreak of the virus. It means that we can get back to normal faster- well we would be mostly back to normal. Lockdown helps stop the spread of the virus, we can then eradicate it faster, if we do a hard few strong months we can get back to doing our everyday things and not be stuck inside for much longer.


The first reason why I think that the lockdown is good is that it it helps reduce the spread of the virus. It stops it being spread through community transmission by us being too close to other people. without all of the contact with others it means that the virus wont spread as fast. We can track who the infected person was with easier than when we are doing our everyday things. Also less people will have the chance to be infected. We can then stop the spread of the virus and save many more people's lives, jobs, and family. The only thing that we want to do is stop Covid 19. Lock down will help eradicate Covid 19.


A bonus of being a small island in the middle of the ocean by ourselves is that is will be easier to get rid of Covid 19. Here in New Zealand we have 1,472 confirmed and probable cases according the the ministry of health. Over in Italy they have 201,505 confirmed and probable cases. Being a small country we can track who has been in contact with who so we can eradicate Covid faster. In Italy however they have many bordering countries so if they get it down to low numbers another country could just reinfect Italy. As we started lockdown before it got out of hand we can eradicate it faster and then have it gone when the other countries are just getting it under control.


If we do a few solid hard months of lockdown then we can stop the virus and go back to normal well as close to normal as we can go after being in quarantine for a few months. Few countries will be able to come out when we do because they will still be trying to stamp out the disease to get back into low numbers. We can do stuff with people from other bubbles like sport, school, work and other activities that you do. after we do the hard mahi we can come together as a thriving community and help those who were affected by Covid 19. The two meter rule will be gone from New Zealand before other countries who didn't do the work when we did. It's like the old saying goes 'do the mahi get the treats'.




In Conclusion I think that it is good because it helps reduce the spread of the virus, we can stamp it out as a small country and we can come together as a thriving community sooner rather than later. I think that the sooner we can eradicate Covid 19 the better. It we help save many people's families from losing a loved one or their jobs. So in my opinion I think that lockdown is working.

ANZAC Slides

Before lockdown we started working on an ANZAC poster to put up around the classroom On the poster we were going to put on some information about ANZAC day and what it means to us. We had to answer some questions on a slide so that we could easily put it on the poster. Now that we are in lockdown we couldn't put it on the poster so we just made the slides really good. Below is my slideshow please comment so that I can improve. Hope you enjoy....
