Invitation to PBL

So this week we have been making invites to give to our parents to invite them to come see our projects and to see what we have been doing this term and show off what we like call a skit that we created and the invite that we made had to say where the showcase is going to be and what time it is going to be till so we sent it to our parents and family and then once the day had come they knew what time it was and where it was.

Have you made a invite?

Sub artefact

So this week for PBL we have made Posters and Business cards to give to the people that come to see our project and that was just for fun because they weren't allowed to take them home because we need them back at the end so then we can keep them so what we put on the cards and stuff is the name of the the product and our names and a fake phone number.

Would you do this?
Would you like to make a poster?

R.E Ad

So this week we have been making Posters or videos and that we were going to share to our teachers so I have made a Poster and it is based on reconciliation and on that poster I have wrote what it means and the symbols and what you need to do reconciliation. You got to choose from lots of subjects that is based on R.E but I chose reconciliation because I wanted to know more about the subject and what it takes.

Science

So this term we have been doing science and we got to choose what we wanted to make so i have buddied up with someone and we deiced to make a robot that can turn a wire into different shaped and that you will need a battery, Copper wire and a magnet and that it was going to be a interesting Science project and that it wasn't going to be an easy job so we were doing some deep research to find out what it is going to take to make.

Narrative planning

So this term we have been planning our Narrative that is based on the future so I have decided to make a minecraft type story where you are taken to a minecraft world and we go to the nether and fight for money to eat and have a house and if you die you body will be buried at the end and that will stop over population and it will be prison as well.

Do you like my idea?

Cross country

So this term we have had cross country and that is where every body at our school competed in a running event where juniors and seniors have to run around a park a number of times and if you got top 6 you made it to zones but you had to be a senior or you couldn't go so my race we had to run 3 laps of the park and it was a race where we all gave it our all and went hard it didn't matter about place it just mattered if you tried.

Have you ever done this?
Do you enjoy running?

Reading slides

So for the past term we have been reading novels that we have given feedback So we all went to a book Restaurant and we read some of the books and had a look at the menu and the books that liked we put on a scoring card and then we waited and then we got given the books that we enjoyed the most and I was given Dead Harry and it is based on Kid that is still in primary school that was killed by 2 people and his ghost still is around and is helping His best friend called Sam and that the same people are after his best friend but Harry's ghost has super powers where he can have vibes of what people are feeling like he can read minds and he is obviously invincible and they get the same people come after them for the whole book. After we read the book we had to fill out a slide with lots of questions and once we had done all of the questions we had to record what we had wrote down.

Have you read this book before?

Future Narritive

Hello today we have been writing a narrative about the future and we got to choose how we wrote it and you could even do about a movie that you have watched or about a game that you have played.
So here is my Narrative.

Chapter 1. The start of the 1st wave

“What time do I have to wake up”My alarm is broken and my phone is flat and I can’t find my charger. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO.I woke up and it was 4 hours until work and I was relieved with how much time left until I had to go to the briefing because it is time to go to the nether and then we have to get our amour and weapons and we are going to collect nether rack and quartz and kill all the qhasts and zombie pigmen and the wither skeletons and then we will go and put back all the stuff we collected but it could go wrong we could all die to the ghast or a zombie pigmen army and they could all get mad and go right at us and kill us there is not going to be lots of us out there in the nether. It is 4 hours later and I have just got to briefing and we are getting told some of the mission and after we are going to suit up and get ready to go to the nether. So we are just about to go through the portal and then the mission will have started and then we should hopefully only have to be there for 2 hours or 5 hours at the max. We have just arrived in the nether and we are mining some of the nether rack and then we are going to mine some of the quartz and then we are going to look for some ghasts and zombie pigmen and then that should be our job done for the day.

Chapter 2 Mining time for the team

It is time to look for all the quartz but we are scared if we full into the lava cause we will obviously die and then we have to respawn in our house and then we can’t go back until next week and that is quite a long way away but I can probably wait that long because it will give me some time to think. So we have just finished up on our day but the reason why I haven’t told you my name because it is a secret mission and name we aren’t allowed to tell anyone our name beside family and anyone that gets told there name has to be removed and slain from the world and then you will not be able to join the world again so you will lose all of your experience in the world and then you will lose all of your weapons and you will not be able to join the army anymore even if you come back on a new account you still wouldn’t be let into the world because of the owner aka the general of the world and the army.

Chapter 3 The 3rd wave 

It is the 3rd day into the nether and we are going strong but we are losing our supply of water and food we will only last 1 more day and then we could most likely dead and nobody will remember any of the lost souls they would be like a lost chip they just forget about them and leave and then we just found out that water buckets don’t work in the nether because of the heat and the lava that is flowing around the nether. We all have been split into groups of 2 but someone took on the challenge of going by them self we all search for supplies but we all mainly look for the nether portal to go back to the world to get food and water and to see our families and pets but we have been looking for about 3 hours and still haven’t found the portal back to the normal world. But the

next day and we have no idea where any of the other teams are we are losing signal to the radios and then what makes it worse is that the fact that we lost all food and water and we getting dehydrated and hungry but then in the corner of my eye I see a purple and black portal and then I as we get closer it is almost certain that it is the nether portal to get back so we went through the portal and then we get back to our house and we get lots of water and food and then we both forgot about the other team and we get supplies and we go back in to look for them because we live by a code and we never leave a man/woman behind. But then we get a sudden feeling in our heads and that feeling was that we forgot about the other teams and that we had to go back for them so we took on the mission to go get brook squad and gerry squad and we had to look around the whole nether to find them but we couldn’t quite find them but then we found the base where all of the mobs stay and spawn and that they had to be trapped at the base and that it would be quite dangerous and that we are going to have to do it in stealth we can’t get seen by the guards or else we wouldn’t get back to the normal world to see their parents and family we couldn’t get seen by the guards, So we move and we get to a checkpoint for us we see a massive room that was full of chests, it was a storage room for the mobs at the base and then the next room there was a bed room and that bed room looked odd because there was no bed in the room but there was a sink and a wardrobe with a sword in it but it was only a gold one but they break really easily and they are a waste of gold. We have advanced 50 feet and we see a room with chatter and lights and we see brook squad and Gerry squad and we see a ghast and wither skeleton and then we sneak around the box and then get behind the generator and then untie the squads and let them go when they are not paying attention and then we sneak out of the base and we find the nether portal and we go home and then we get a surprise welcome from the general and he awards us the medal of extreme honour and we become a Sgt of our platoon and the rest is history.

Volunteering

So this week in kaupeka we have had the chance to volunteer to go to the Food bank and that is what some of us did at the food bank we were given instructions to have a look at the box that we have copy and then we had to go find the foods that we needed and put them in box but we had help for some local people that are always there working they have been doing there job for a while and they always restock there shelves at first we thought that we could just put anything in the box and then just get it checked but we found out that we had to put it in correctly and with the top to bottom in the box so that is what we did and we did that till about lunch time and then we went back to school adn we all felt good that we had done what we did.

Fitness circuit

So this week in kaupeka we have been making a fitness circuit with a partner and we got to timetable a fitness in 6 workshops and then we got to choose from other peoples circuits as well as our own ones and Me and y partner mad a basketball circuit were you dribble a basketball up court and then you take a shot in each hoop and if you miss that is 5 push ups and then if you made it you kinda got a get out of jail free card and that you didn't have to do anything and you had to save up all of your push ups till the end of the session and then you had to do the push ups and you are allowed to have a break in between. If you didn't do all of the push ups you had to do them the next day.


Would you do this Fitness circuit?
Would you be able to do all of the push ups?

PBL Product

Hi this week we have been making a product that is going to be shared to our community and family and then we will be able to share to the kids at our school. We got 10 weeks to make this product, Plan it and then we had to film and create and then we make it to share.

So Me and my partner who is called Logan and then we went onto filming and then we made a robot that could play sports and that it had 3 modes Easy, Medium, Hard and that it plays good offence and good defence and That when it is on hard mode that is unstoppable if you are just starting to play but if you put it on easy it is very easy to play against and that it will be easily stopped and that nobody can really lose to it. But when it is on medium it is mixed between easy and hard so it can get hard but it can be easy.

So what our PBL question was this term was what will the future ask of us. So what we mean by this question is that like what jobs will get taken over by robots or what jobs will not be taken over by robots.

Do you think that robots will take over jobs?

Do you think that Robots will be better then humans?

Stanford University

For the past 2 terms we have being doing a course for Stanford university and it was to do with our mindset. So what you have to do on the course is you watch a video and then you memorise the main points in the video and then you click next and then you write what the questions say and you do that for every task and it also teaches you different ways of maths and it really gets your mind thinking about the questions.

We had to finish the course with all the time we were given and then we got the opportunity to apply for the university and then after the course and then we got to see the results and then after 20 minutes we got the results to see if we were done the course and then we got to see if we got in as the time went by I hadn't got the results but everyone else got their's.


Have you done this course?
Would you do this course? 

Science

So in the kaupeka hub this week we have been doing science and that we got to rotate around different teachers and do science and we had to chose one of the 4 science objects and I have chose heart rate and in heart rate we had to do fitness activities like doing star jumps for 1 minute and the sprint on the spot for 30 seconds and then we had to feel our pulse in the neck or just under your jawbone and then we had to times what we had by 6 and then we would have a answer to the question and then we had to fill out a doc which was called the scientific method and then we got to fill out the doc and then we could be finished

Winter sports

Good morning, Good evening, Good night today I am writing a blog about This terms winter sport that we played at hagley park. We all got the decision to what sport we wanted to trial for I decided to trial for Rugby at that was a very popular choice and the trial went on a rainy day were everybody got really cold and if you got injured it would be super cold on the wound, so as the trial went on they kept on getting rid of people because they had already shown their potential in the team so they could get changed and then there was just year 7's and we were put into teams and then we battled it out and we put in some good tackles and some good skills and that would determine if we made the team and then we finished the trial and we got the teams and I was so worried that I wouldn't make a team and then I made the team and I was so happy that I made the team. So the season has started and the rugby team is in good  form and they are healthy so we start the season off with a good win and then the next we played some big boys and they weren't so fast and that we could just feed our wingers and run on the outside and that's what won us the game and then the next game we played a team with some people that weren't that big compared to us and that they were scared to play against us and that they did not want to play us but then as the season went buy the team the team that was scared of us were in the game for 3rd and 4th and they won and then we got into the finals and that was very good to find out that we made and that it was going to be a good match and the lose of two of our star players we figured that we could do this and that we would play for them and win so as the game went buy it was the second half and we were in front by a big margin and then the second half started and they started to score tries and tries but we didn't let the get them to easy so we kept on giving them our all and that got us the good win over the team that made it to the finals.

DLO/Digital learning object

Hello today I am going to be sharing with you my Reading slides that we have been working on for the last 5 weeks. So what we had to do on the slides was we had to write a quick paragraph about the story and it could be from any where in the book so I chose the part where their was a very angry male and he was looking for a kid and the friend could feel the vibe that some one was coming after the kid so he told him to get out of there and to get his bike and go back to to the school and then go home so he ran out of the mall and then he got the bike and then he went to school and saw that there was like 3-4 police cars outside their school because of Mr Dombroski who was a war criminal and then he went home and then saw a speeding black SUV and then nearly gets hit by the car and he hits a fence and his head gets hurt and he starts bleeding from the head. Next thing we had to do was a google drawing of a scene in the book where we found was interesting so I chose the part where the Black SUV was chasing the kid.

Next task was to do a character study and you had to choose a character so I chose the kids friend because he is one of the main characters and he is the one that is most wanted because he is Harry friend and they want him because they are taking out his best friends so that he could join Harry in Heaven.
