What is happening today this days with forearms?

Do you know what is an firearm?

My speech is about firearms.They are destroying our earth and are also hurting us too. In this time really think what is bad about this? It is causing war and kids like me in this time are killing each other because of hunger and the lack of water.

Firearms used wrongly can either lead you to prison or to death.Firearms are dangerous in the wrong hands, for example shotguns,Ak 47,pistol and minnie guns and others.

from the book of Matthew 5:43 - 44 Jesus said that people have said- Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But Jesus said -But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,so that you could become children of your father in heaven.

Do you know why this is happening? Because of us. We are making video games that shows violent things, for example like Gta 5. It is violent and that's why people in this generation are using firearms wrongly and that leads them to trouble. We should show our new generation that is coming up, to take care of each other and to carry on the same thing that us prefer them to do.

So please! your choice? make a change or not! Now this time go out and be a role model for others and to show people around us that we are loving and caring people.

Today on a brilliant bright day, the year sevens went tech. And got on to their work.

Firstly I got myself a chromebook and searched up my character so I could make it movable.

Secondly shared it to Mr Nair and got it print out.

Third I trace it to the wood using the blue inked paper( It trace images and photos to anything).

Fourthly I got the poker and burnt out the shape of my character.

Fifthly I used a paint and painted over the shape of my character, it was really hardened and challenging facing this kind of journey of life.

Sixthly I got to the most challenging part of the lesson.Seventhly I started cutting out the shape of my character meanwhile I was being silly and sanding my character.

Finally it was time to pack up and my character was finished cut up.

Do know what technology is?

Material:

 At technicraft with Mr. Nair, we first learnt how to use the scroll saw. This is a machine used to cut curves and shapes. Secondly we had to finished off cutting out shapes before we finished off our character. Thirdly Mr Nair told us to start cutting out the shape of our character. Then after that it was action time but when I start cutting the wood was very inflexible so, I turned the machine speed up a little higher and it was easier to cut. We finished cutting out our characters shape and then we were told to use the sandpaper to sand our character to make the curves and corners smooth. Fifthly we used a spray that made our characters paint look polished and shiny. Finally my favourite part came and it was time stick the magnet bar to our thin wood character.then we hurried back school.

Painting fence on a hot day!

• Plan:

• Extremely hot
• Brother
• Hard
• Sand paper
• Paint brush
• Brown, strong smell and brown

On a scorching moist hot holiday, my brother and I went to my little sister's godmother's’ house and being ask to paint her fence. On that day it was a really blazing hot day that had my skin burnt like a umu that was on a flame.

So we swiftly hurried and got our sandpaper and a varnish sparkly brown paint that had my attention thinking of mo la la land. So my brother said, “Vaughan! Sand the fence,”  So I snapped out of it and sanded the fence so my brother and i could paint the fence.

My tummy was rumbling because it was starving  but, i could hardly not make my way out from my brother. So I kept on sanding with a unfed tummy. When my brother finished his half, his body was slimy and roasting skin that was like a oil in a frying pan.Then I quickly sanded my part and carried on to the other half. When I completed my side I  sprinted to the shops and bought my brother and I a drink. After that my brother painted the whole fence  by himself. It was a really exhausting hot day so I said, “I trust in you!,”

So he cheerfully finished his whole fence and we got paid 40 dollars each. And my brother and I were so proud of ourselves that we had faith that we would complete the job. After that  my brother and I walked home and had rest.
