  • The Apple Mobile Special Interest Group Has Its Second Meeting on 30Th July, 2020
    The Apple mobile special interest group has its second meeting on 30th July, 2020. Five members were there. We started off discussing the fixed agenda topics for this meeting Photography o Those with iOS 13 can open the photo app quickly by swiping left from the lock screen. Another quick way is to bring the control panel onto the screen (swipe down from above the top right of an iPad screen or up from the bottom of an iPhone screen) then select the camera icon. Alternatively, locate the camera icon on the screen. Having the camera icon in the ‘dock’ is also handy as it then appears on every screen. o The camera has the ability to alter its default settings for focus and lighting by touching the yellow square that appears when the camera first starts or if you touch the screen. Touching and holding the yellow square allows fine adjustments for light. Touching the screen where you want the camera to focus on, changes the automatic option. o Once the photo is taken, try editing the result by touching the photo then touching edit. Have a play with all of the options and see the effect it has. You can discard changes at any time or save them as separate photos. Try ‘marking up’ making pen marks on a picture using an array of pens and colours. o Security of your photos should be top of mind. The best option is to store them in in a cloud computing service such as Apple Photos or Google Photos. In the photos settings, turn on ‘iCloud Photos’ to automatically send your photos to your iCloud account.

The final report has now been published and is an official document for all to see. I have placed this on our school website (www.murchison.school.nz ). It can also be found on the ERO website at www.ero.govt.nz . The following are some extracts from the report: 1) “Respectful and caring relationships contribute to equitable and successful outcomes for students. Students learn in a settled and supportive learning environment. Teachers know students very well as individuals and as learners and focus on their holistic wellbeing and academic success. Individual students’ learning is well tracked and monitored by classroom teachers. The school and wider community work closely to support and enrich students’ learning.” 2) “Students who need extra assistance to succeed are very well supported. There are improved systems to effectively identify, monitor and support these students. The school works constructively with parents and experts beyond the school to find solutions to improve student outcomes at home and at school. Students with additional learning needs benefit from well -considered individual learning plans and are supported towards full inclusion.” 3) “The vision, values and priorities that underpin the school’s culture and curriculum are well known and evident in practice. This includes restorative practices and growth mindset approaches.The school’s valued outcomes for students are regularly shared to build and embed understanding.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.
