Insignificant Post

                          WALT:Learn to write using more detail.

During this week I and many other people in my class have learned to do much more things. I have learnt to throw a Frisbee properly.  My technique was fraud and after learning the right way I have become a better player. 

School has been quite fun lately. I had fun in and out of class. Lunch times have been getting shorter (at least it feels like it). In class I have learnt new things. I really enjoyed learning these.

I really think I need to work on my algebra. Today the 22nd of November we had a maths test only on algebra and I wasn't to happy with my results.

Dead Topic (maths)

WALT: Add detail in our writing.

Hey this introduction will include the things that will be in this story. I will write about 3 different topics meaning 3 different paragraphs.

1. The Things I Learnt.
I have been learning how to do proper algebra during classes. I have found this as a weak point in my maths and I will try to overcome this weakness by learning and doing more of it. While learning algebra we also have acquired the knowledge of problem solving. I like doing problem solving as I makes the most of reading and putting clues together.


2. 1 Thing I Need To Work On.
As I explained in the last paragraph I think algebra is definitely a weak point; because I haven't figured out how to make/find a algebraic rule. The word rule isn't very hard.


3. 1 Thing I Enjoyed
I could say this over and over but I enjoy doing maths especially problem solving. I can't describe the thrill of putting effort into something and getting the answer correct.

The Mystic Sea

This overstated title is somewhat related to this artwork. Hello again welcome back to my awesome narration stories.

The day riddled with sun, today was the day to go to the beach finally it has come. The vans were ignited and the engines started to roar. We headed through Otaki with happy or dull expressions.  Lee explained how we were the best group; that she had taken in the van. The beach was nearing; my excitement couldn't be explained even if I tried.


In a bundle the vans came to a full stop, we headed out of the van and meet the lifeguards. They introduced them as Cassie, Sophrose and Lisa. After the lifeguards intrigued us with their names, we followed them towards the stairs and later to the top floor. When we reached the top they told us about CPR and IRB boats. CPR was taught by showing us the positions and teaching us the ratios.

Finally we finished the CPR procedures and were headed down to the beach. First we grabbed a glove and a bag to find rubbish. Then we all walked the beach which was awesome in its own way. We ended up gathering a whole lot of rubbish from the beach and ultimately dumping it. While doing that I realised how great it was to clean the beach.

The time had come to swim, but we did a few challenges before that. First was the wheatbix challenge. So how we did that was the first one to finish eating a dry bit of wheatbix wins. It might sound easy but the dry wheatbix sticking to the top bottom and sides of your teeth sucks. I didn't get near winning because I quit after one crusty as bite.

For the second we built a human tower/pyramid. For starters we arranged the group of people into groups like the people at the bottom, middle and top. then we put them in to play. The group that was gunning for first place failed to win but now we have the memory.

Last but not the least it was the famous chubby bunny challenge. There weren't that much marshmallows so there were a bunch of victors. But for the thing we have all been waiting for is going on hold because we had to each lunch but then we finally went to the water.
Swimming was great and it also introduced a lifeguard we had all seen before, introducing Damien Doyle lifeguard mode.

IRB time after Damien arrived he took me and Sophrose out to the water. I was the rescue dummy basically, they took me out and dropped me off. Then they came back to rescue me. It was really fun which meant I enjoyed the trip and one day I hope to ride one of the boats again.
    

Labor Weekend: The Journey To Tauranga

The wind was cold the moon hidden behind the murky clouds. This is the best time to travel but, we all know my family slept in. Hey didn't see you there, welcome back to my awesome story (not really). This time I will write about a great labor story, and no not the pregnant type.

The clock sharp, it's almost 7 am but my family still won't wake up. 

"Get up!" I shouted, but of course no one listened. I decided that it would be a great idea to go to sleep, but then I would be as bad as those meatheads. I walked around the house for a bit than entertained myself by watching anime, yes anime. You might see that as cringe but I weeb itself I gladly would watch anime any day. *Boom* A crash from up the stairs, a glow flew to my eyes. 

The journey was close, I waited for them to get ready and pack but that didn't take long. Soon we all raced to the cars to leave Wellington, New Zealand. We were driving all the way up to Tauranga, well that's what I thought. We actually went to a town a bit further than there. This town is called Waihi, it's like New Zealand's Hawaii. We travelled through Otaki and I wanted to stop to see some other family members but instead I kept my mouth closed. 

Levin a richer version of Otaki (Otaki's so much better though) was our first stop. We came to have something to eat, I don't think writing about McDonald's will be necessary. After our meal we continued up to the Desert road. The Desert road is what I think is one of New Zealand's greatest Landmarks. This road held  mountains/volcanoes ,  famous corners and army members driving the desert part. We drove past the famous mountains Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, they were quite the sight to bear.  

"Where are we stopping next?" I asked

"Taupo" A reply from my Koro

We were so close the vast lake of Taupo came to view. I was amazed, lake Taupo is a huge super volcano. Some say that if it were to blow our country would fall. Shortly after we arrived to Taupo we went to one of the best cafes ever. We ordered and left after eating and we were now in Tauranga. 

We stopped at a marae to visit some family members and later went to a holiday park to stay for the weekend. It was fun for the most part. We headed to bed and now the morning started we travelled down the the community hall to celebrate my cousins 21st. We had fun partying and eating, I also got to catch up with my cousin that I hadn't seen in a long time. After the party ended it was time for the adults to party. We kids left back to the holiday park to rest. 

The day after me and my Dad went to a gold mine which I don't know where it is. We left to Hamilton to catch a plane back to wellington. I had fun on the plane watching videos and playing games. The clouds looked like a bellet dancing through the sky. I got quite a bit of videos and photos which will entertain me for a while. 

In conclusion, the trip was amazing and would love to go back.

Respect, O.C Pride, Active Learner And Responsibility

At my school we have a thing called ROAR. This represents the title, cheesy right. I'm going to explain why we have the ROAR as well as why it's important.

The ROAR is at school because it guides us on the right path. If we do not follow this correctly we are ultimately being disrespectful. We are expected to follow the ROAR teachers and students. That is why we have it and why we need it.

R of (R)OAR means respect e.g. listening so on. O of R(O)AR. That means O.C Pride. O.C Pride e.g. Wearing the right uniform. A of RO(A)R means Active Learner. An Active Learner e.g. Staying on task and finishing work on date. The last but not least R of ROA(R). This R means Responsibility. An example of that is being trusted with making the right choices and staying out of trouble. 

The Enhanced Flower

Despite the name this will not be a story. I will write about the things I need to work on/things I did well on. So enjoy my mixed-blessing assignment.

So this week has gone quickly and with that I have learned some new things. I learnt about algebra during maths and coding during digital media. Algebra was always tricky for me but I think I came to an understanding. The problem we did; included an equation which was "what is the rule"
We found that rule in word but not in an algebra form. The group in front presented and that is what helped me.

In digital Media I found that coding was quite easy as well. The tutorial lead us straight to the code and that helped me form some commands; like making 100 chickens.

I have a goal I pursued and I captured that goal in full sprint. I was trying to get in the highest group of maths, because I thought I could do better than I had then.

The one thing I always need to work on is, staying focused and keeping an eye on the project at hand. I seem to stray off and slowly get through tasks.
