Homework Expectations

Amount

We think that 30-45 minutes every weeknight is a reasonable expectation for homework. Per week that equals approximately 2.5 hours per week of homework.

2 terms = 20 weeks. Every homework task should take you 5 hours to do.

Quality

You need to work on each homework task for at least 2.5 to 5 hours. It should like it was done by a year 8 student. The product you make (if relevant) should look good quality.

Dinosaurs To Life

An Australian billionaire is building the worlds largest robotic dinosaur park at Palmer Coolum Resort. The park already hosts the prehistoric T-rex, Omeisaurus and the Apatosaurus and is still growing.  The dinosaurs are mostly over 20m long and around 7m high. They will be showed in natural woodland environment at the resort.

My opinion is that it would cost a lot of money but it would make the Palmer Coolum Resort look really cool so if they have the money just keep going with it.

Sunbeds Banned

In New Zealand people under the age of 18 are no longer able to use Sunbeds. The Associate Health Minister Jo Goodhew has announced that rule last week. The Government has changed this rule to try to help reduce skin cancer. The Government has said that this will be law by the end of the year.
My opinion is that this rule/law should take place until they find other ways for people to get tanned without being out in the sun.
