The Obstacle PAL Day

 Kia ora on the last day of school we did a PAL fun day which is where we have lots of small short games that all the other classes go around in a rotation in our house groups which are Pohutukawa, Rimu, Karaka and Kowhai. My two friends and I got to coach the obstacle course which we made up. We had skipping, hurdles, catching the balls, going through the tunnels and criss crossing to the end. The thing I enjoyed the most was watching everyone complete everything properly. The highlight of my day was being with my friends while teaching everyone what to. The challenges I had experienced was everyone doing some opposite things to what we had taught but we just let them do what they think they had to do. If we did this again I would probably pick a different game to teach. 

Have you ever done PAL (power activity leader) at your school?

Manaiakalani Cybersmart Challenge: Scams and Phishing.

Kia ora this week we did a Manaiakalani Cybersmart challenge: Scams and Phishing. We had a presentation with little emails and pop ups and we had to say if it is fake or legit and why we think that. There was one that said download free music and I could instantly tell that it was fake because in the top  left corner there was a padlock with a line through it which means it is not secure. It also had a log in with your Google account and you had to put your email address and your password. Sometimes  if you are lucky you just tap the account you would like to sign in with and it takes you straight in. I would also not do any of that because they can easily see your password to get in to your email address which is really dangerous. For my first time learning about this I found that if there sometimes can be a line through the padlock and I have never seen that before. I also learnt that there can be pop ups and I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t do this.
