The passion project I chose was discovery because I like the I Like to make and to discover new things as well

During the passion project stash on I Learnt how to make a high volosity Lego band gun

During the passion project I had many mistakes but the one that stood out the most was when I was making the Lego gun it was not super strong so it broke quite a bit

Next time I would try the same thing but I would make it look more like a gun and I would try to make it shot one band at a time

My overall thoughts of the passion project I oud do it again and I would try to make a Lego rubber band gun that is better than the one our group made

EOTC- Education outside the classroom

28Th of November the year 8s had gathered up to go to a Marie located in the city of Christchurch all the year 8s had been split up into 3 groups 22 of us went into 2 spirit vans and 56-60 of us went into the bus. When we arrived at the Marie we wore greeted by a girl singing and as she sang we came closer and closer to her when we got to the door of the Marie we took our shoes off and put them on the right side of the door because its a sign of respect. when we ented the Marie the girls sat at the back and the boys sat at the front of the girls we do this because if a dude comes in with a weapon the boys can protect the girls.

 Adrenalin forest

29th of November the year 8s had gathered up to go to adrenalin forest for EOTC week. When the year 8s had arrived to the destination we split up into two groups 1 group went to adrenalin forest and the other group went for a walk. When I was climbing the trees I had encountered many obstacles but level 6 was the hardest by far because it was so high up and the trees wore moving back and fords and there wore many opticals that wore challenging. Been so high up I just wanted to quit but I wanted to challenge my self and to step outside of my confit zone and I carried on beside my friend Logan. My favorite part of adrenalin forest was level 6 because I like a challenge and level 6 was a challenge. when I have finished level 6 I was so happy and relive because my arms wore giving up.

26TH NOV 2:32 pm in the afternoon our task is to finish up our lego gun and to make it semi-auto and to give it a nicer look and to give the gun a body.

my favorite activity this year Wednesday the 19TH in the afternoon our class 8BH had science and we were doing a quick and easy science experiment, we made hokey pokey the thing you will need sugar, golden syrup, baking powder, pot and you need access to a stove. you need to start off by putting 5 to 6 tablespoons in your pot and have half a cup of golden bring to a medium heat until all the sugar dissolves and it starts boiling when it starts to boil you add the baking powder and stir quickly and when it starts to form pour onto a tray with baking paper, leave it to cool for 3 min and then brake it up then enjoy it.

For the last month, 8bh has been working on an activity that is related to the camp that is coming up. I was going to post my raft but it didn't save so I will show you all the camp related activity.

My task was to tell a story in 1st person about the song called happier by marshmallow we could pick between the dog or the girl and I chose the girl because she has an interesting role in the song.

It was my 9th Birthday I was sitting down at the kitchen table surrounded by kids screaming and yelling and poping blooms the first thing I received was my cake with nine candles but a girl came running up to me and blew out the candles I was frustrated at the girl I couldn't believe someone would have the audacity to do that. Soon after mum took the cake and dad came back with my first present I opened the present and go a soft yellow silk bow dad left the room and came back with a puppy named Malo he was a small golden retriever aged 1.

After the task we wore mento write about did we enjoy the task or not. I like the task because it was fun and unique and different at the same time if I had the chance to do this again I would.

This week I made a DLO about a water spot and and water safety along with hazards. Last week i presented my work in Hui.

This week for writing our class is learning to make a persuasive letter strong and to make our persuasive letter support your point.

Blogging help improve your learning

I strongly believe that blogging supports your learning in many different ways and it can help others all around the world to connect to your learning.

When blogging you get better at writing, reading and spelling and this will help you to improve your grades and get you better marks. When blogging you can get feedback on you work to make it better and to see what other liked about the  post and what they didn't like.

There for I believe that blogging help to improve your learning in many different ways.

Cyber smart

Cyber smart

Tuesday the 6th of November 8BH and 8TS joined up to do cyber smart of 40 munites in the learning commons. 

In cyber smart, we are learning to narrow our search results to find the proper search result.

I think we are learning to narrow our search results to find the proper search result's because it might help us to find what we are looking for and to help us in future time. 

In cyber smart, I learned to find reliable websites and web sits that I can trust. 

I think this might help me in the future by gathering me the right info instead of faulty info. 

Maths

Math/ probability

For Maths, we are learning about probability is the chance of something happening. For maths, Shelley had the choice of getting $5 every week or she could roll a die and 1=$1  2=$2   3=$4   4=$5   5=$7   6=$10. If she chose $5 a week she would end up with $260 and if she chose the die she would get a random amount of money. 

 If I was Shelley I would take the $5 a week and get 260 because if she chose the die one she could get a low amount of money but she would need to be lucky to get a 10. 

Persuasive writing

Cats and dogs are the most popular pets in the world but I personally think that cats are better, because they don't cost as much and cats clean up after themselves, unlike dogs.


Cats are cheap and easy to look after because they don't need a leader, or to be groomed and they don't need as many toys as a dog does. Let alone a dog is expensive as it is and to get all the excesses a dog needs it would be better to get a cat over a dog.

This week I had to write a description about something challenging. 

and for this task, I was meant to write about something that was challenging for me. 

Adrenalin forest

Task write it: In 2010 around August there was a carnival that got the attention of many families. Inside of this carnival held there were many challenging activities and some not so much. At the time I was 5 and what was hard is now easy for me. There was this one activity that was the hardest of all and it was a climbing wall. This climbing was one of the hardest because there were bits missing and some of the climbing peace’s when touched they will spin or fall off. One of the hardest things with this climbing wall was the horizontal slope been a very young age it was one of the hardest activities there was in this carnival. First I was given a harness put on and then started my climb, it was about halfway when I started to have trouble with the horizontal slope. I lost grip of the climbing and fell back but luckily the man below was holding the rope and I was just floating in the air. Soon after I grabbed back on the climbing wall and tried again but soon after I gave up and I got back to the ground. If you have the chance to do something new do it you won't regret it in the future and if you can't do it try and try and never give up.  

Kete task

3 Little pigs

3 Little Pigs

for the last 4 weeks, our class has made an org fairy tale different.


Problem:  Pepa was at home alone and her brother’s doing shopping for the family. Pepa had an idea to go looking for ladybugs so Pepa got her camera and went outside she started looking for the ladybugs in the front garden but had no luck. She went into the center of the city to look for ladybugs and found one but before she could take a photo it flew away into the distance. Pepa stood back up and ran for her life to get the photo of that ladybug but after 3 hours of chasing the ladybug she gave up. Pepa sat down to look at the surroundings and she did not recognize this place she was in the forbidden forest...

Maths

Maths

This week for group work we wore working on probability is a chance of something happing or not happing.

  

LO: we can complete a mathematical investigation.

The steps I had to take to complete my tasks was commitment I needed to be committed to do all my work.

My results of the experiments I had done: for the first experiment I had to flip a coin 20 times and my results were 11 of the flips landed on heads and the other 9 landed on tails.

 Result 2 for the second experiment I had to roll a die 18 times.

1=3

2=3

3=3

4=3

5=2

6 =4

The evidence I collected was that there is an even chance of a die landing on any number and a coin landing on heads or tails.

Matter

The states of Matter

W.A.L.T: We are learning about the three states of matter Solid liquid and Gas.

The three states of matter Solid liquid and Gas. The matter is what the world is made from the living to nonliving these are things that make our world.

Example: If I had had a solid piece of ice and left it out in the sun for 30 minutes and came back it would be a liquid and if I would leave that liquid out for 2 hours some of the water would have evaporated into a gas.

In the solid, the particles are close together.

In the liquid, the particles can just move.
In the gas, the particles are free to move.

My writing

My writing

Have you ever moved to a new house? Well, I have it was when I was 5 in January of 2010. I had moved from a house that was small and not suitable for a family of four. Mum and dad said, "we should upgrade to a house with more space and a bigger lawn to fit a pool and a swing set and lots more." So me and my brother could do something outside. On the inside me and my brother had 2 Xbox 360, we only have one now and we also had 2 Nintendo 3ds, one black, and the other one blue. Last we had 2 Samsung tablets but they broke in a month or so.

It was time to move to the more improved house, it was roughly January of 2010 on a Monday when we moved. The family had loved the place, it was just I was a little bit scared to move to another house because "I'm not used to moving," I mumbled, to my dad,. It was the day one in the house for the whole day we wore packing up items from the old house to the new house after we had finished packing up all our belongings it was night time. Mum went down to get fish and chips for tea by the time she came back it was raining and we steal needed to unpack all of our stuff but all we had was a table and some chairs inside so we could eat. Bang!!! Halfway through tea there was thunder and not knowing where I'm going to sleep...

Google a day question= Explorers from Kushiro Pevek and Namsos arrive at the North Pole and check their watches. If they arrived at 11:42 a.m, 12:17 p.m and 3 a.m., respectively, which team was first? 

Time zones

Kushiro time zone=3:02 PM
Pevek time zone= 8:02 AM
Namsos time zone=11:02 AM
North pole time zone=1:02 AM

Time difference

Russia has a 10-hour difference to Namsos
Japan has a 7-hours difference to Namsos

The North Pole has ac14-hour difference to Namsos 

The North Pole has a 7-hour difference to Kushiro
Pevek has a  3-hour difference to KushiroThe North Pole has a 4-hour difference to Pevek

Times everybody arrived 

Pevek people arrive at the north pole at 4:17 AM
Namsos people arrive at the north pole at 5 PM
Kushiro's people arrive at the north pole at 6:42 PM

Who came first 

Pevek' people arrive at the north pole at 12:17 AM And that makes them first.
Namsos people arrive at the north pole at 5 PM and that makes them 2nd.
and in last place arriving at 6:42 PM is Kushiro's people they will arrive at the north pole at 6:40
