Types of signs!

Mandatory; Mandatory is a sign that shows you must do this or you must wear that.

Music With Da Best Teacher


I like how this song he wrote for his fiance.
They were kids when the fell in love as he explains
He explains how he left her but wont do it again
He says hes dancing in the dark so it is like he is dancing at night
He was meant to whisper but she heard him say that she looks perfect
He thinks she is stronger either emotionally or physically.
He has a "vision" of them and their future
He will be alright because of his soon-to-be-wife
He see's their future when he looks in her hand
They have a favourite song together
He calls her an ANGEL!
He says he doesn't deserve an angel like her

WHAT AM I LEARNINGI am learning about the back story of my favourite songs.
HOW AM I LEARNING:  I use the internet when in need other than that I use what I already know
WHAT AM I WONDERING: I am wondering if Ed Sheeran wrote that song when the broke up, got back together, when he just proposed to her or the were together for ages.

My goal in writing is to improve on my punctuation 

I have chosen this goal because my punctuation is lacking and getting worse

To achieve this goal will need to use more !, ?, -- and ... (an ellipsis)

Kete

KAITIAKITANGA

How did we show kaitiakitanga on the island?We were taught how they're restoring the Island to bring the native stuff back.

How did we show sustainability on quail island?
We respected the rules of the Island. We also did not touch things we were not meant to touch.

How did we show Rahui Tapu on Quail Island?

We did not complain about things or about where we wanted to go. But instead listened to our guide. We did as we were told, and did not climb any trees.

QUAIL ISLAND Thinglink

In year 8 kete we have been learning about Kaitiakitanga. Meaning guardian ship towards earth. So the year 8 classes we went to Quail Island to study about leprosy and the antarctic practicing here  with dogs (huskies) and Ponies. I have made a thinglink about quail island. If you want to tinker with thinglink I will leave a link!



THINGLINK

REPORT ON SHIPS GRAVEYARD

In total there are 18 boats. When the tide is high you can not see any
boats. But when the tide is low enough you can see 4 boats. I chose the ships
graveyard because I thought it was an amazing thing to learn about. 1902 is when
the Maori started to dump their boats here to let the sea take them away but left the boats stranded on Quail Island.

REPORT ON WALKERS BEACH

Walkers Beach was First used by Mr R J Walker when he won the right 
to take shell grit for chicken feed. Mr Walker was the first person to take shell grit from the island. After eight or nine months it was closed to shell gathering because of damage.
