Are online relationships as important as real- life relationships?
Hello, aloha welcome back to another blog post today we will be debating about ' online relationships are not as important as real-life relationships.' we had to write our debate on our blog.
Some people may think that online relationships are just as important as real-life relationships, this may be because they can talk to them anytime that they want to by using video chat or messages.
On the other hand, some people may think that they are not as important because in online relationships you can't go out and do activities another reason you don't know if you're talking to the person they say they are which can be quite dangerous. A good thing with real-life relationships you can go out and do activities. Also, you can talk face to face in real-life conversations instead of talking through a screen.
In conclusion, I agree that real-life relationships are more important because you get to have proper conversations face to face and in online relationships could be dangerous.

The great realisation
The great realisation
Today we watched "the great realisation" in wānaga class It was made kiwi-born Thomas Roberts during COVID--19 lockdown in London In Roberts poem says that a lot of good things happened that we can continue after lockdown.
Thomas Roberts kiwi born poet made the video called the great realisation. It's about waste, poverty, big companies, over-consumption. Lives are square, cant see stars, drives in circles, the sea filled with plastic, says the poet.
In Lockdown some good things happened like- Ringing family members, running, new wildlife, dancing. Singing, baking, new habits and kindness is appreciated.Today we watched "the great realisation" in wānaga class It was made kiwi-born Thomas Roberts during COVID--19 lockdown in London In Roberts poem says that a lot of good things happened that we can continue after lockdown.

Hi, welcome back to another blog post and today I am sharing with you some cupcakes that I made in class before lockdown. First, we made the cupcakes on a Thursday afternoon by following a recipe step by step working as a group I think my group works pretty well we all contributed by all getting out all the ingredients and baking.
the next Friday morning, we iced the cupcakes each group got to choose what flavour icing and colour my group chose raspberry flavoured icing and pink coloured. We also got to decorate our cupcakes with m&ms and liquorice.
The cupcakes smelt and tasted amazing I even made more in the holidays.

Today we watched we are stars this film is about how all life today is connected to the evolution of the universe

First, I learned that Hydrogen is the first atom made my 1 Proton and 1 Electron.
Second, I learned that the inner core generates heat by a process called nuclear fusion.
Third, I learned that when a star collapses, it's called a supernova.

The cardio_vascular system
The Cardio-Vascular system
What does the heart look like? The human heart is about the size of a fist. Because the heart is a muscle with lots of blood supplied to it, it looks red like meat In people who are overweight the heart looks yellow because it is covered with yellow fat.
What is blood pressure? The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
Why does your pulse increase when you exercise? When you are exercising, your muscles need extra oxygen—some three times as much as resting muscles. This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse. Meanwhile, your lungs are also taking in more air, hence the harder breathing
