Stranded on a Deserted Island

Stranded on a Deserted Island

If I woke up on a deserted island with nobody there to help me the first thing I would do is walk around and search for clues. If I had to choose 5 things with me I would choose:

• Bed - I chose this item because instead of sleeping in the itchy sand I would at least have a bed to sleep on.
• Friend - I would have a friend because they would keep me company instead of being lonely.
• Axe - An axe so I can cut down trees for wood to burn for fires.
• Chocolate bar - I would have a chocolate bar because I would want SOMETHING sweet to eat.
• Blanket - And a blanket for warmth so I don't get cold.

Meaning of deserted: (of a place) empty of people.

The learning power that I would need the most on the island would be Creativity because I would need to build lots of different things for surviving.

Toes

Toes

Us humans need toes for our balance and support when we walk. If we didn't have any toes, we would not be able to walk properly. Our big toe is most important because it helps our balance. Some people are born without a toe or some people have to get their toes cut off. Without toes it will effect your balance. A lot of people have one foot bigger than the other. I am one of those people that have one foot bigger than the other.

Be Kind, Be Respectful and Be Growth-minded

Be Kind, Be Respectful and Be Growth-minded

Be kind: I was being kind and helping Emma with our Architecture Art.

Be Respectful: I was being respectful to my teacher when she asked me to do a job.

Be Growth-minded: I was being growth-minded at Cross Country because Cross Country is not my thing and all I wanted to do was finish my race.

Cross Country Reflection

Cross Country Reflection

Monday was our NPS Cross Country. When I woke up I was so nervous and I was excited for when it was over. Our race was last and I was so annoyed because it would be extra muddy for us and I wanted to get it over and done with. I had a sore tummy all day until my race. I had to eat three pieces of pizza to calm me down. I watched the younger kids with my friends until my race. When it was time for my race, me and my friends were freaking out and we all felt like peeing. Before our race, we had to do some stretches and I was so nervous. 

We then lined up for our race and the motorbike drove off and we followed the motorbike. I stepped on a massive prickle while I was running threw the mud. Then on our second lap, we had to run up the Killer Hill. It was so hard and my calve muscles are so sore. When I crossed the finish line I sat down on the grass because my ankle was so sore. Then, me and Ella got our juicie and our sausage and bread. I went back to Ella's house after and once we washed our legs, we jumped in the spa pool and watched a movie.

This week has been really exciting! I have a new Tech group and I'm in my favourite one Visual Design! I have two birthday parties this week to go to. Alexa's birthday party is today after school and Ashlee's birthday party is after soccer on Saturday. It is a Harry Potter themed birthday party and I'm so excited. At soccer practise yesterday, I scored a lot of goals for my team and I'm so proud of myself. Cross Country is next Monday and I'm training nearly everyday to better myself for Monday.

This week I signed up for the Events Team Leader. Today is Assembly and they will be revealing who got that Leadership role so I'm hoping I will get it. I didn't really enjoy Tech on Tuesday because we did not get to cook anything. We had to sort out the boxes and tidy them up. I am lot allowed to do PE today because I pulled a muscle in my leg at Soccer practise yesterday. I am looking forward to Sunday because I have my first Rotorua game so I'm looking forward to playing.

  

My Persuasive Writing

Homework or no Homework?

Yes, a lot of children absolutely HATE homework but having homework is better than having none at all! I see this as a opportunity to learn more and better while you are not at school. You know why I think it is better to have homework? Because it gives you something to do at home instead of sitting around. Sometimes you get easily distracted at school. Most kids get homework but don’t bother to do it. They are lazy and tired. I would rather learn than be lazy and tired!

I think we should have homework because it’s further learning. Well, I think it is very good to have homework because I like to dive deeper into my learning at home rather than all at school. Do you ever get frustrated with your homework? I do. Sometimes when there is to much homework, I get really frustrated and start to stress out. Or when the teachers give me homework that I don’t know how to do. Now, who has been in this position before? Definitely me! But it’s even better to get homework that you have never done before.

Homework keeps you busy and occupied. I think every school should provide their pupils with homework. Not just for the sake of it, but it is just extra learning. Say for instance, studying for a exam is like homework. You need to study and study until your exam. Some students get so stressed about their homework that they stay up all hours of the night, trying to finish it and then the next day you realise you are falling asleep in the middle of a class! Don’t do that!

Remember to have like half an hour breaks so that you don’t get bored or tired of what you are doing. Now, come on, who agrees with me? Every school student should have homework for their sake of learning. Just say, if you want to be the top student at primary or collage you need to complete your homework. You know, all of your homework will pay off one day!

Game Review

Game Review

One game that I enjoy playing is Pixel Art. Me and Ella enjoy playing it when we are bored. It's a colour by number game where you pick a picture that you want to colour in and you pick a colour that you want to start with. When you click the colour and number, the number that you chose will turn dark on the picture so you know where to press. I have done some really cool art works and some of them have taken me a long time to complete. You can also take pictures and colour them in instead of using the ones on the game.

A have learnt how to be patient with the game because sometimes it glitches out and when I play it on the internet there are ads and it's really annoying. I have learnt how take my time when I am doing my artworks like when I'm doing art at school. I have also learnt to go in number order instead of just doing random numbers. Sometimes when there are a group of the same number, it is easier to sometimes do the grouped numbers first.

What I like most about this game is that instead of doing the artworks that are already on there, you can colour in your pictures that you take. I love colouring in pictures of my cat. I am going to give this game a 5/5 for it's awesomeness.

Term 3 Week 2

Wow! I have really enjoyed the second week at school! For tech I did some of my IE creation. I made a Banana & Mango Smoothie. It was easy and fast. Then on Wednesday, I made the rest of my IE creation. I made Blueberry Muffins. During the process, I burnt my finger as there were no oven gloves and I used a cloth. I didn't check if there was anything in the oven before I turned it on. Silly me! I was rushing around the kitchen trying to get things done and then I had to do the dishes in HOT water and my finger was burning. A part from that everything was good. Today we had a Hockey session. I had a lot of fun as I play Hockey.
