Passwords

Mr Mark Madden from Manaiakalani comes to Room 1 every Wednesday from 10.00am-10.50am (and Room 4 from 9-9.50am)  to teach us more about the Manaiakalani model of ‘Learn, Create, Share’. 

This week when he came in he taught us about passwords, good ones and bad ones. An example of a bad password is, (your name)123 or 123456 or a birthday. He taught us how to make a good password, like taking the first letters of your favourite quotes or songs and changing some of the letters into different symbols. One of my ideas was, ?MniG? (?My name is Grace?). 

What are you going to do to make your passwords safe?

Life Education

On Wednesday 13^th June the Life Education truck came to school to teach all the classes different things about making our lives healthier and happier. We take turns going inside learning and at the end we meet Harold the giraffe and if you are lucky Harold will tell you a joke! Room 1 is learning about making choices, with the motto ‘The best decision is an informed decision’ and we are also learning about how the brain works and learns new ideas. We discovered that we are born with 100 billion brain cells and that when we learn something they make connections and become stronger. The brain belongs to the nervous system and its main job is to be the boss of our body and keep all the other organs and systems working. We are going to learn more about influences (such as family, friends, TV, school, advertising) tomorrow.
