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.

Rugby

I picked the Ruby group for the Blogx Toki Pounamu. Last Saturday 25th of May I played a game of Rugby with my team. The team I play for is Marist and the team we played was Wests Hokitika on Marist grounds. I'm not sure what the score was but I know we won.

Trian Safety Poster

In class we have been focusing on train safety. Every class was focusing on a different subject on safety. Everyone in the class made a poster with five different rules with trains and around trains. Here is my poster.

Kawa of Care

In class we have been learning how to look after our chromebooks. We chose three rules and wrote out the rules. Here is my comic.

Train Safety Video

In class we have been researching abut train safety. Every single class in the school have focusing on a topic about safety. Room 1 were learning about road safety. Room 2 were learning about bus safety. Room 5 were focusing on bike safety and Room 6 (our class) have been focusing on train safety. We learned how to be safe around trains and came up with about 5 reasons on how to be safe around trains. We grouped up and made videos and picked a rule for our videos. My buddies were Ben and Liam. Our rule was to wait for a train to go past before you cross. Here is our video.
