Square Skills

Using the information from the maths task, I create a digital version of a quilt pattern and then used the scale of 10cm by 10cm to find the perimeter of the quilt to work our how much binding was needed to complete a quilt this size by adding all the measurement units together. 

Our Father

Ko te Rahina 27 o te Hongongoi tenei ra.


Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
The Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.


Walt: Identify the number of petitions in the Our Father and what they 
are about.


Give us this day our daily bread- Give us food every day


And forgive our trespasses- Forgive their original sins that they have done
in the hole day


As we forgive those who trespass against us- Forgive others that talking 
about them


And lead us not into temptation- Control them from doing wrong things


Deliver us from evil- Rescue them from evil

Basic knowledge in Chromebook

I truly believe that basic knowledge in Chromebook is very important because it also talking  about the simple Chromebook programming language that uses familiar English designed for beginners. Many different schools use the basics because it helps them in any work they do. The reason why we need to use our Chromebook is because we can read news on current events and general information and also to do educational work and games. Chromebooks is very helpful for gaining knowledge.


But Chromebook it not everything because if the internet is off you can’t use it. You either use a book and a pencil when you do your school work. One main point why Chromebook is really important is because when you got a wrong spelling you can correct it by using the built-in online dictionary but if you got a wrong spelling in your book you can’t correct it straight away unless you have a dictionary at hand or only when the teacher marks your work and corrected it.
