What are the common features in apps? Writing that is easy to read, lots of colour, easy to use and pictures.

What makes you want to get them? When they are bright and colourful (which catches your eye), look fun, and give you some information on what they are about.

Does money stop you from getting them? I think it depends on how much money the apps are. If they were around $2 then I would get it. Apps that I know lots about and would use heaps like keynote would make me willing to spend a bit more on them. On iTunes there are different catergories for the types of apps like games, books, music etc.

<span style="color: #ff00bd; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">I really enjoyed this term. The whole process of making our survival kits was something I've never done before. It feels good to see the final product after all our hard work and effort. I also enjoyed getting interviewed for the newspaper with Charlotte. The favourite thing this term was the day where the classroom was dark. I don't really know if I achieved my maths goal because we haven't done the proper IKAN test yet. I was so close to getting another gold on mathletics ( just 1 bronze away) and I used 2 metaphors in my writing. I'm really happy with my test results so far. For inquiry next term I don't have any ideas at the moment but it would be cool to do something where we can go on a class trip.

I also finshed a Sloop Extra show as well. = = = == = = = = = = =Fred Hollows= Professor Fred Hollows was an eye doctor from NZ. In his lifetime Fred gave thousands of people their eyesight back. In the 1960’s Fred got a job as head of the eye department at Sydney hospital. It was there that he was told about the need of Aboriginal health services. Fred helped set up the first Aboriginal Medical Service. Now there are about 60 Aboriginal Medical Services in Australia. He discovered that lots of Aboriginals had eye diseases caused by dirt and poor health. He didn’t think enough was being done. In three years his team traveled all over outback Australia. They treated 30,000 people, performed 1,000 eye operations and prescribed more than 10,000 pairs of glasses. By 1980, Fred was traveling all over the world to help set up eye health programs. This became Fred’s passion. With the help of Australians Fred ended up donating 6 million dollars to build an eye lens factory in Africa. Fred died in 1993 but now his wife continues his work.

This is what he had to say about their health before he came to help.

"//It is appalling. It is much worse than white health was in the worst times of the depression. It is appalling by third world standards."//

He also believed in helping people.

// "When I've seen an opportunity I haven't sat down and called a committee meeting...we've gone and done it." // How I had never heard of Fred Hollows. It sounds like he made a major change to the way people help less fortunate in Australia. I looking forward to hearing more. Mr B
