Last technicraft of term

Today it was the last day of technicraft,

Our teacher gave us an instruction, probably my favourite instruction he ever gave us. “Do anything you want but it has to include coding” said Mr Goh. Everybody was so happy because everybody has been working on their own games that they have made but haven't finished.

I have been working on a game which has involved a man with no money trying to survive in the jungle with only a knife, but there were hiding objects that could help you if you find in the game. It was going good until I accidently clicked of the game. When I went back onto the site to make my game I forgot my password so I had to start all over again.

Instead of starting over again I went around testing other people's games, my personal favorite was Eugene's game. It was about a heart trying to defend itself from rheumatic fever. The way it works is you are a heart and your enemy is rheumatic fever and you guys end up in a shooting battle if you kill the rheumatic fever you win.

It was a fun day today testing games and everything but I felt really upset when I had to start my game all over again.

Papua New Guinea

After analysing the poster image below, each member of our team responding to the questions or statements on the poster. These were recorded on post it notes.

This task involved comparing and contrasting similarities and difference.

Synthesis:

The Papua New Guinea houses are weak compared to the houses in New Zealand because there is not much support added.

The houses and buildings in New Zealand are made of bricks wood etc but buildings in Papua New Guinea are only made out of sago palms, timber and bamboo which can't really hold the house if any natural disasters occur.

Both countries also have an easy source of water in their houses but through different resources.

In Papua New Guinea their easiest water source is the body of water (e.g a river) but in New Zealand it's from the modern tap.

The Assumption of Mary

Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you praise,for all life and all holiness come from you.
In the plan of your wisdom, she who bore the Christ in her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.
May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Assumption By Loyola Press

One glance at a daily newspaper or a television news show will tell you that some people do not value human life. But this is not news. During the Holocaust of World War II, millions of people were tortured and killed. This terrible tragedy led many people to wonder about human life. How valuable is a single human life? How valuable are the lives of the elderly, the unborn, the terminally ill? Are their lives worth as much as those of people who are healthy and active, working, and raising families?God creates human life and gives it value. And Jesus gave his life on the cross to redeem each individual human person. By doing this, Jesus said, “Your life is worth my dying to save you.” Through his own Resurrection, Jesus showed us the glory of our resurrection and of our living in the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that the body and soul of a person, separated at death, will be joined together again in glory at the Last Judgment. The person will be whole for all eternity.The feast of Mary’s Assumption is a preview of what our lives will be. At the end of her earthly life, Mary was assumed, or taken up, into heaven body and soul. She did not have to wait for the end of the world, as we do. God granted her this special privilege because of her sinlessness and her fullness of grace.The Church has always believed in Mary’s assumption into heaven. But on November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII focused the attention of the whole world on the Assumption of Mary as a dogma and mystery of our faith. This mystery shows us that God wants every human person, body and soul, to be in glory forever, just as Mary is now. This dogma shows how important every single human life is. Pope Plus XII hoped that by thinking about Mary’s Assumption, people all over the world would develop a deeper respect for their own lives and their own bodies. He also hoped that people would grow in respect for the lives of others.
