Commonwealth Knowledge
Commonwealth Games
My Prior Knowledge of the Commonwealth Games
I know that there are certain countries that compete in the Commonwealth Games. It is a sporting event that is international. Athletes in some countries come together to compete with each other. These athletes represent their country, competing in different athletic sport. The games are held every four years.
My New Knowledge of the Commonwealth Games
The Commonwealth Games were first held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. At the first Games 11 nations, 400 athletes and 59 game events had been held. In 1942 to 1946 the Commonwealth Games had been abandoned because of the Second World War, making the 1946 games cancelled. Then by 1978 the name of the event, had been changed, from British Empire Games to Commonwealth Games.
This year the game will be held in Scotland on the 24th July 2014. Around 4,560 athletes will be participating in 17 different sports. 71 nations will come together. From 1930 to 2014, the Commonwealth Games have changed massively.
Self - view
I have built up my prior knowledge because of my research, reading and watching the events. I have gained more because my facts are based on history and my present research

Hangarau Technology
Hangarau Technology
When I go to Tamaki College, I learn in Digital Technology’s. The Maori word for technology is Hangarau. I have to use the kiore and the papa patuhi to log into the rorohiko. At school I use rorohiko ponaho. We use the ipurangi to log into the pae tukutuku for Digital Technology’s. We have to check the maramataka to see what our task are for the day. Sometimes our teacher sends us messages on the Imera. Sometimes our teacher uses her waea pukoro to give us dojo points or to take photo’s of us working. www.maoridictionary.co.nz
I have learnt the following words in Maori:
Rorohiko/computer
Rorohiko Ponaho/laptop
Kiore/mouse
Waea Pukoro/cell phone
Ipurangi/Internet
Imera/email
maramataka/calender
Papa patuhi/keyboard
Pae Tukutuku/Website
Hangarau/Technology

Cross Safely
Why Pedestrian Crossing is Safer Now than the Past
In the past roads were made of gravel, which made it unsafe for cars and people. Back then rules were needed.
Now these days, there are safer ways to have less accidents and injuries. Better ways for cars and people to share the road. Less people are killed. Schools all over the world have systems running, called a Pedestrian Crossing.
Today, there are zebra crossings on a Pedestrian Crossing, which stand out, making the crossing easier to see.
There are also striped black and white poles, to show where the crossing is. On most of those poles are bright round lights.
Bright highlighted signs called lollipops are used to stop cars so people can cross. They are controlled by children in schools, who are old enough. The lollipops are hooked onto the stripped poles.
The children who carry out Pedestrian Crossing wear bright neon vests that are visible to all vehicles. There are also raincoats for different weather conditions.
So Road patrols are a safer way for all humans to cross and safer for cars and people to be on the road.
