FANTASTIC MR FOX

FANTASTIC MR FOX MOVIE REVIEW

Deep in the woods near the three farms,  the  chicken farm  ,  the Duck farm and    the Turkey/apple farm, under the tree where Mr fox ,Mrs fox  and their four children live.Mr fox is in the habit of stealing food for himself and his family from the farmers Boggis , Bunce and Bean. But all the three of them were about as nasty and mean as any men you could meet, Resenting Mr Fox’s thefts , they join forces to kill  him. First they lie in wait outside his den and manage to wound him  his tail then they  begin digging to catch him and his family , first with shovels and then with machines. Finally they decided to starve him out but that when Mr Fox gets a brilliant idea of of digging further the tunnel acquiring food from the farmers.

The book only weighed eighty pages and so which is pretty light source material when you are to create a ninety minutes features film. The movie starts at a moment in the time before Mr  Fox and Mrs  Fox  stealing. In the book we are introduced to Mr, Mr, the four kids and the three farmers meanwhile in the movie they also add the cousins and the neighbours. In the book Mrs Fox act as if she does not like the stealing parts of Mr Fox whereas in the movie she knows everything about where the food comes from.Mrs Fox is pregnant in the movie we never get that in the book. She is Mrs fox throughout the the film , not only given a name Felicity something that is absent from the book. In the book Mr Fox only serves his family by relying on digging tunnel directly to the store of the farmers whereas  in the film animals are balanced between something that need to controlled in order  to maintain their safety.

My favourite part is when the children of the woods create a song describing the three farmers. Boggis, Bunce and Bean one fat, one short and one lean. These horrible crooks so different in looks were nonetheless equally mean.the time when Mr fox brings backs lots of stolen foods and shares with the whole animal kingdom. The part that was least effective is when the three farmers dig up the fox den by shovels and machines. I would recommend this book to any animal lovers and give it a big star because there could have been a more  action. I would like to read more about this story maybe Mr Fox is getting into a fight and scary the farmers away.

ICT  BARRIERS IN SA EDUCATION


There are many ICT barriers in South african education, especially in rural areas.Students lack ICT information and background.

Most of  schools which  are situated in rural areas does not have access to computers either electricity.Some schools have them but not enough to cover all students. sometimes learners are not allowed to use the computers whereas they are meant for them.  


OTHER ICT  BARRIERS

*Limited resources
*Poverty, crime and drug abuse
*Lack of knowledge and skills
*Lack of qualified ICT teachers
*Crowded classrooms

my school where i am from there were computers and they were donated by vodacom millionaires, the school principal once told us that if anyone of us is willing to learn them, he or she must pay a certain amount, because of my background my parent failed to pay that fee. i never got that opportunity  to learn computer at my secondary levels neither primary levels .As foundation phase teachers we must have the knowledge ,skills and support our learners needs, in order to be used to technology. We must teach them what they suppose to know for   their bright future ahead .

MY FINAL SCHOOL YEAR AT NJEYEZA SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL

My final school year at njeyeza senior secondary school in Mpumalanga Province

 I am addressed as Dlamini Nosipho Dineo. I completed my matric at Njeyeza senior secondary school in the of 2013.

This school is situated at a village called Schoemansdal section B in the Nkomazi Municipality under Shongwe mission. My school is located a distance away from Malelane town almost close to Matsamo Plaza. My town is a rural area where capital is needed to industrialize and the area has limited resources meaning it is  a under developing area. A large number of people depend on industrial for example agriculture, farming,fishing and livestock . They took education  as a no purpose only a waste of time and money.

I achieved seven  (7) subjects as follows:

English first additional language

Siswati Home language

Mathematical literacy

Geography

Life sciences

Life orientation

Agricultural sciences

Out of all the seven subjects i passed, i got enjoyment from one subject which is life sciences for the reason that my science teacher( Mr Mabuza) used to teach us using the overhead projector especially when he was teaching the Human evolution lesson. The school have computer centers but you learn them by paying a certain amount of money so that you can participate, whereas those computers belongs to us as learners. The using of projector was like  something new to my life because of there were no laptops neither internet cafe. In that point science lessons helped me to be a better person and i passed with flying colours today i am a student TEC siyabuswa campus, i appreciate the effort and contributions of my former teachers especially my science teacher.
