  1. Car manufacturer BMW has created world-first technology that changes the colour of a car with the press of a button. The new car was displayed for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month. The technology works by bringing different pigments to the outside when energised by electrical signals. These signals are controlled by a button in the vehicle or on a phone app. The car changes shades, designs, and colours giving different patterns in black, white, and grey combinations.
  2. The government is calling to New Zealanders in Ukraine to leave immediately, heightened military tension in the area, foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement last week. The New Zealand Government is advising New Zealanders in Ukraine to leave immediately while there are flights able to get them home,” Mahuta said in a statement. New Zealand’s government’s ability to help people in Ukraine is very limited. New Zealand’s advice has also been followed by Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

House Captain Movie – Put the sports gear in the right place/Play in the right Place

Hello blog viewers/welcome to my blog! This is the House Captain’s movie for PENN today. It is about Putting the sports gear in the right place/Playing in the right place. I made this with the House Captains (Jezer,Jade,Lucian,Lincoln,Ema,Jordoan and Latiana). I also filmed parts of the movie.

I never really knew it was going to be quite simple. I was just a little bit nervous and thought I couldn’t finish it but I did, with help. I learnt a whole lot about filming an editing.

Explanation Writing – Dream Home!

Hello blog viewers/welcome back to my blog! This is an explanation writing piece I wrote. I wrote about my dream home and the many things (well only 3 main things) I would want in it. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Dream Home!

A dream home would include a huge upstairs, twenty rooms, an indoor gym, an indoor pool, and so much more. Let me share with you my dream home, filled with insane and interesting things.

In my dream home I would have a huge water park! Lots of swimming equipment/floaties, a hot tub that has glowing water, and of course ten insanely big slides. Everyone loves to get wet and soaked with water. What’s better than having your own water park – wait, maybe the next one will change your mind.

You’ve probably been to a movie theatre and know that they are enormous, with big screens and a lot of chairs. Don’t forget the snacks (which are like one hundred dollars)! If you got to own your own movie theatre you would get to watch all the movies you want and have as much snacks you want because you own it! You can invite friends and families, hang and chill watching Enchanto or Spongebob or any movie of your choice. Let’s move onto my last room that I’m sure will fascinate you.

Don’t you just love the taste and smell or delicious and mouth watering slushies or shaved ice. Just imagine owning your own room filled with different flavors of slushies and shaved ice! Slushies and shaved ice are a good refreshing snack. Yes they aren’t healthy for you and you shouldn’t drink it all day, everyday, but everyone loves them!

In conclusion, these are all the many things I would include in my dream home. A water park, movie theater, and of course a room filled with slushies/shaved ice.
