Doubling and Halving

In class for maths we have been learning and using a new method called doubling and halving. We got to buddy up and make a DLO on doubling and halving. Here is the DLO.

My Mihi

In class we made our own mihi's. We explained who our family was and what our mountains were and stuff like that. We did our mihi's digitally on the chromebooks. Here is my mihi.

Multiplication

A few days ago my buddies Blake and Sophie have made a DLO on multiplication. We each did a question. Here is the DLO.

Perimeter

In class for maths we are learning perimeter. We were told to make a DLO on perimeter. We had to put on each slide or on a google drawing the definition of perimeter, an example of perimeter, then an equation on perimeter. Here is my buddy Blake and I's DLO.

Paper Power

In class we have been using an old method in maths. This is a method that our teacher used to use when she was in school she said. We call it Paper Power. We had to make a DLO for it then explain how to use the method. We also included an equation. The answer is already there but try not to look at it! Here is Blake and I's DLO.

Dogeminer 2, Gaming

Dogeminer 2 is a fun and easy game to play for everyone. It's not so hard but some things can be confusing. It automatically saves everything so that you don't have to keep restarting. Here is some new footage of me playing the game.

P.S This is for the BlogX Teams, I chose gaming and a few more ones that I like.

RC Cars

On Thursday 27th of June and Tuesday 25th of June my dad and I went to the school with our RC Cars (Remote Control Cars) and we drove them around the car park. We have six proper Traxxas cars. E-Revo, Slash Traxxas, Latrax Teton x2, Traxxas Ford Mustang GT and Traxxas Skully. I don't have any videos but I will see if I can publish a blog post with some videos of us driving the cars around.

Rugby

On Saturday 22nd of June I played another game of Rugby. This time we played Kiwi and we playing on Marist grounds. I don't know what the score was but I think it was 40 something to about 10. I didn't get any injuries this time luckily. I wonder who we are versing next time and if we will win?

The Quest of Ben and Deakyn

This term we have been working on a production. We have already done the production but during this the film crew (Ben, Deakyn, Brody, Hannah) have been doing practice for our angles and how still to hold the camera. During this we captured some really funny faces then me and Ben made a funny iMovie (not really a movie.) Here it is.

Rugby

Again I played another greatly awesome game of Rugby on Saturday. This time we played Westland Hari Hari. We also played in Hari Hari. I got there about an hour early so we had to wait ages. I got another injury which really annoyed me again. We won the game again and I think the score was about 40 something to 20 something. My injury was getting an elbow to the head and now I have a huge bump on my head. Number 20 on the other team tried to strip the ball twice but he ended up elbowing me the second time he did it. I didn't get knocked out or anything but he just hit me really hard on the head. We got four injuries in our team and 3 of us had to come off for a bit. Me who got the elbow to the head, Robbie who got smashed in the face, Keil who got a bloody nose and Payton who hurt his shoulder in a ruck. For once I got quite a few runs that were good and carried the ball too.

Through My Window

In class we have been using a site called Quick Write. This site will give us a picture and a sentence challenge or a story starter. For this we write on our books not on the chromebooks. This helps us improve our handwriting skills much more since we use chromebooks. On Tuesday 11th June we got a picture and we had to explain what we see out of our windows (not really our windows) but it was more what we see good wise. Not whats actually outside your window. In class I did a good one but I thought that I could do better than that. So I decided to do one on the chromebook. Here it is.

What’s the first thing I do when I wake up, well open my eyes and take a breath of course but really I actually look out my window. When I look out my window I feel so calm and relaxed like nothing will ever happen to me and I feel like there is peace and harmony in the word everywhere but really you can’t solve that, can you. The view from my window is so beautiful that’s why it calms me, but when I look out, I think about what is really happening out in the world, like in those big places and countries like China, Russia and America, well if you guess what is happening I would say someone will probably be doing it. I also like to think about what scientists are doing and what is happening when people are researching so many things, like scientists are trying to find a cure for cancer and so many things on how to stop global warming from happening so fast and finding so many ancient and mysterious things that are from millions and thousands of years ago, like ancient animals that have been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years. But when I see people walking in the shade outside my window I think of all the bad things that happen and the things that are happening right this second. I mean when you think about it, people are killing and hunting down endangered animals. Especially how people treat their own pets, like when the owner will get drunk or their just not a good owner and they beat their pets. Especially dogs, because obviously dogs are naughty sometimes and they will continue to be naughty if you beat them. Same for humans. Bullying which is one of the biggest problems on earth today. Bullying is worldwide and it can happen anytime and anywhere. Everyone wishes there was a way to stop bullying, but really it’s impossible to do that. Not everyone can control their anger, and it would be hard for people with anger issues to have them be calm. So why don’t you look out your window right now and just stay calm and think about everything.

Rugby

On Saturday 8th June, I played a awesome game of Rugby. This time we played Blaketown, on Blaketown grounds. Again I know we won by heaps but I'm not sure what the score was. Luckily for Blaketown they actually got a try and the conversion about 30 seconds before the game ended. The look on their faces was hilarious, especially when they got the conversion. I played for most of the game but the last quarter I ended up on the bench. I had a really great time!

Rugby Tournament

Here is another blog post about Rugby. I played in a tournament on Friday 31st of May, with my team Marist aka the best team, and two under 14's. We played against an Ashburton rugby team. I felt a little bad for Ashburton coming all this way then they end up losing. The annoying thing about the game is that it was freezing. If you asked all the kids playing they would agree. I could barely feel my hands and fingers. It was fun but I could only play one quarter of the game. I was off for the first quarter then on for the second. But just before halftime a really big forward on the opposite team stood on three of my fingers with metal sprigs. Luckily two of my fingers were fine I just couldn't feel them at all, they were completely numb. Then the third finger had a bent bone. The bone stuck out and it still is. It isn't so bad but I can barely feel my middle finger. Hopefully in about a month or in a few weeks it will be fine. I'm not sure what the score was but again, we definitely won.
