Nikau's trip to Tahuna Beach

We hopped on to the hot, stuffy bus to our destination, Tahuna Beach. We arrived there excited and ready for a big day of awesomeness. First, we played on the playground and the field with some sports gear. Then soon enough we got hungry for some sausages. We ate them and had lunch. After that we were on the beach swimming, playing and enjoying a great day. Soon, it was time to get back on the bus and go back, sandy and wet.

What was the best part of your holiday?

In the holidays Vanderley and I traveled to Brasil to introduce our son Mateo to Vanderley's family. The best thing about being in Brasil was eating all the amazing fruit straight off the trees, like these bananas.

Tell me what the best part of your holiday was. Remember to write your name with your comment :)

2015 Blog Agreement

Please read the following guidelines for our blog, then if you agree to support them then write your first name in the comment box.

1. Treat the “class blog” as “classroom spaces” — use appropriate language and be sure that anything you write you are proud of and are prepared to take responsibility for!!! Our blog exists as a public space on the Internet. When you put something on the Internet, odds are really good that it will ALWAYS stay on the Internet. If you are not careful about what you write, what you write now could come back to haunt you in the future.

2. Never EVER EVER give out or record personal information on your blog.

Please – no last names, phone numbers, home addresses, IM screen names, personal email address  etc.

Again, your blog is a public space on the Internet and anyone, anywhere, could be reading it. So….don’t share anything that you don’t want the world to know.

3. Never disrespect anyone or anything in your blog posts. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a person, an organization, or just a general idea. When you write your opinion on a topic, you don’t want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about. So, don’t do it to someone else. Try your best to make sure you’re not going to offend anyone in your posts.

4. Don’t write about other people without permission; if you can’t get their permission, use first names or initials only. Never share someone else’s last name.

5. Always check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words. (HINT: Try pasting your post in a word processor first and using the spell checker or use an internet spellchecker before posting on your blog.)

6. Make sure things you write about are factual. Link to your sources. But never link to something you haven’t read and understood completely. When you link to something, make sure it is something that you really want to be associated with. If a link contains material that might be in poor taste or make some people uncomfortable, you should probably warn readers by using a parenthetical note or some other word of caution.

7. Be aware of copyright — especially with sounds and images. Make sure what you use is copyright free !! (Just because you find it on the internet does not mean you are free to use it without permission !!)

8. Keep it education-oriented. Stick to tasks set in class. Unless it pertains to the assignment, stay away from discussing plans for the weekend, general rambling, or diary entries about nothing. Chances are your responses to class tasks will usually be far more interesting!!
