A virtual tour is a simulation that can be viewed on most computers or smartphones. A virtual tour is similar to a video but you can control where to move and where to look. A virtual tour of anything, from London to The Great Wall of China or even places from video-games. There are many advantages of virtual tour such as most virtual tour are either free or at a small cost and the obvious one experiencing things you may never get to in real life. Although there are advantages there can also be disadvantages to virtual tours, such as unless you download the tour you need a internet connection. If your internet connection is not very good there can be lag and something not load properly. Virtual tours can be good or bad but either way there cool to try.

LIfe ed poem

Drugs are expensive and cause people pain
no matter the drug there is no gain
if you do meth it can 
lead to death
drugs are bad and make 
people mad

no matter the name it's to blame
weed, crack, green and grass
no matter the name you should pass
If you do drugs you're hooked till the end of time
anybody who sells drugs is just gryme

I only cause pain I am marajuana I am the end game

"Mum where are my favourite socks?" I asked yelling for help

"And where are my Tuesday undies?" asked dad searching through his draws "you know I have to wear them today."

"Just wear Mondays undies no one is going to know," replied mum. 

"No one's going to know you say, i'm going to know and to wear Mondays undies pfft that would be idiotic," Dad answered back with a streak in his voice.

This was only the beginning of our family disaster, for the next few weeks things were starting to disappear and fast. With Dad losing his Tuesday undies and me losing my favourite socks 

Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while Mum then lost her favorite dress we thought we were going mental. "Its not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac mum suggested that we recall our steps. "When was the last time you had your items?" she said. We all replied 

"before washing day was the last time we had them, so maybe it's the washing machine thats caused all this drama," mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eye.

So we checked the washing machine there was… nothing, with nothing to prove I decided to put a Go-Pro in the machine to watch it in action to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn't realize was that the washing machine would take my Go-Pro too "AHHH ITS GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice.

"What are we going to do?"

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. It was an ordinary day, everyone was sitting at their wooden desks, with pens and pencils by their side. The sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears, I decide to listen in on Brittneys conversation with Ella "OMG, last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there." explained Brittney

"No way!" replied Ella "That exact thing happened to me I was sure I put it into my bag." This is a little strange I thought to myself why are things disappearing?

Eventually, the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head, I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery, as I unzipped the case I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag 

"this is insane." I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds singing it seemed like an ordinary day. I walked into my class that is usually full of colour but not today, my class looked like a prison cell. "What happened." I gasped 

"don't worry kids," assured Miss Green."We have a thief in our class and I am going to get to the bottom of this one by one" Miss Green started checking our bags. Everyone seemed relaxed except for James.

It was a monday morning I just got woken up by my Mum to get ready for school. I got out of bed and reached down for my uniform but it wasn't there, I looked under my bed, under my pillows but i couldn't find my uniform anywhere. 

"Kaidin, have you gotten in the shower yet?" 

"No mum." 

"I cant find my uniform." 

"Well you better find it quick or you will be going to school in your Onesie!"

"But mum I can't find it anywhere it’s like its just disappeared!" 

"Oh sure just like all your other stuff huh Kaidin?"

I got a note to go to school with, to say that my uniform is lost and that I have to wear mufti just for today. Which was a pain because every teacher i walked past asked why i'm in mufti and where my uniform is, so I just showed them the note and moved on. 

When I got home I went to go grab my iPod from where I always put it, but I looked and that wasn't there either. I yelled out to my mum 
"Mum have you seen my iPod?"
"No, but do you know where did you last put it?" 
"Mum, if I knew where I last put it do you think i'd be asking you where it is?" 
"Sorry just trying to help." 
I thought to myself that i'll try to find it later, so I run into my room to go on my PS3 but surprise surprise it’s not there. 
"Mum." 
"oh what now Kaidin?" 
"I know you're up to mischief tell me where all my stuff is!"
"Kaidin, do you really think I would hide your uniform away from you so you would go to school in your Onesise. Now what’s gone missing now?" 
"My PS3, the whole thing, the controller is here but not my HDMI cable, power cord or my Elgato!" "I really couldnt be bothered looking for all my stuff, because it will take me hours."

PEEL RIMU

Write a PEEL paragraph responding to this statement

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

You must:

Decide on your umbrella Point

Give at least 3 Explain reasons, each with an specific Example

Finish with a Linking sentence back to your P statement.

Use sequencing words for your reasons

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS because it is Multimedia. Firstly, Rimu is a multimedia house which means that most of our work is done on computers and that means we can easily find resources to help us learn such as Khan Academy. Secondly, typing is so much faster than writing so Rimu students can finish work faster than mainstream classes, a good example of this would be in the writing sample where most people in Rimu finish fast that people in mainstream. Another point, would be that having computer saves money on books and stationery and example would be that rimu students only need three books where mainstreamed students need six. It's because of these reasons why I think Rimu is the best house.
