All in tag (slapsies gone wild)

Hi Bloggers!

We have this week the start of our lucky PALs to show off their leadership, communication with the crowd and resemblance of fun in games they held for most of our school to join in and play! 

Our first game started off with us being asked whether or not we'd like to be interested or encouraged to join in these games, with our daily instructions mentioning this event everyone began to get excited and overall everyone decided it was fun to enjoy themselves and bonding with others.

It started off with a number of people meeting by a tree outside and whilst listening to the rules that were introduced by some of the PAL's running the game, (thanks to Mykiala, Delilah and Jorja for running it!)

All In Tag!

All in tag was our way of being in a field with varieties of people against each other in mortal combat with hands, like wild slapsies but instead if you got hit you had to sit down and remember who tagged you, the next step is if your down after getting tagged life isn't over you can stand up once the person who tagged you has sat down. If two people tag at the same time that means they need to play Paper, Scissors, Rock and whoever loses sits down.

And of course I hid in the corner the whole time and guess what? It was surprisingly working, especially when your tagger got you then instead of watching three different people you saw clearly who tagged you, although have the time you needed to be cautious and slippery, (yes I know 'how do you be slippery?' hint: try avoiding other people and watch to see who has a lot of people down and also MAKE ALLIANCES!!)

Next step to winning.. Have fun and don't be a sore loser-- I mean cheater, meaning don't pretend you didn't get tagged and keep your enemies small if you don't want to get tagged although, keep an eye on your surroundings. 

But overall this game was really fun and well explained although I noticed a few kids that sat down I kept aware of what I was doing and tried to avoid all of the little kids running and tagging others, at rapid speed.. It was pretty exhausting.

Have you ever played All in Tag? Did you get injured just from a tag or slap? How well do you think you would've done in this game?

I'd like to know!

Hope you enjoyed me, babbling on about a game of wild slapsies.

See you next time!

Exploring America's election with GoOgLe

 Hi Bloggers, Haven't seen you in a while!

Today we're gonna be exploring my work I looked into whilst we learnt about the whole election process of America! America is known as important due to it being the main country of the planet. Meaning America's election can affect a lot of our countries, cities and places.

With our messages involving option, discovery of both runners. Joe Biden and Donald Trump, also what I think is the meme vs a past Vice President.

I did research on our election and american country with a few other year 8's of our class.

And I recorded all of it on this google slideshow to show each of the information I found apart of america and what happens with the election especially the differences in people and presidents.

Now that I've shown you some learning of mine, I wanna know what your thoughts are on this years election and differences in presidents.

How have you been dealing with this years elections? Who do you think know that you know from the slideshow's information which one seems better?

See you next time bloggers!

Athletics again, again.. again... BUT as a Article :D

 Hello Bloggers, Aliens and Commenters!

Today I'm here to share with you the Article I put together for our Athletics day events.

Sadly this year was more challenging especially for year 8's, don't believe me? Try throwing a shotput 7 metres or jump 1.10 in high jump and see how you like it!

Let's begin the long talk of our day on 30th October 2020 shall we...?

Athletics Harder than before!

Author : Nikita, Date: 30th of October 2020,

Seniors, Juniors years ranging from 4-8 were participating in this event, parents could come with some encouragement and support for their child or any type of family member especially if it's family friends meaning you could go and cheer on the participants that are competing.

Although our events for athletics was slightly challenging our year 8's especially due to the status of each event becoming higher for entry in zones. Meaning less people got into the zones this year although I'll let you find out in the next article about our zone competitors.

For the starting position we get ready and set then go look at how our first event Sprints works, a lot of pressure was on whilst the year groups raced away at the sports.

Our first, second and third runners that paced hard enough to get in for our girl runners being, Mia, Nikita an Bridget are lucky enough to get those 3 placings for themselves.

That may of been just a teaser but beware some results might come up sooner or later!

If you think you could make it through athletics day give me your perspective! And if you have a chance of also being in zones let me know what for!

Take care bloggers!

Student Summit is Summiting all our WIFI?!

 Hey there bloggers!

Today we've done our student summit! What's student summit you may ask? Well it's an event every year for schools in clusters and this year due to corona we hosted it all online! And man it was draining! But luckily I got to finish a few random bloopy DLO's our challenge of being online is we have to learn about a website presented by 1-4 children in the Google Meet, thankfully this year I and my friends Hana & Mia were in a group. Talking about Prezi!

Prezi is a type of presentational website where you present volumes of text and statements.

Our group had to make a Google Slide presentation to present to children that chose to join our google meet! And guess what? We volunteered and got to present twice!

Student Summit separates groups into sessions, 1, 2, 3 and 4 depending on which one you've been assigned to present in you'll be presenting in that session and thats its but if you aren't your the audience listening to presenters and asking questions, creating DLOs, communicating to get more information and to experience later after the session finishes you spend time filling out a form like a comment on the Presentations Performances.

=====================================

Session 1! My group was presenting and so far it went well although a few hiccups here and there, WIFI DRAINING OUT OF EXISTENCE?! And now we have to present it fully at session 4... Although that didn't stop us from getting most of it done! And just by our teachers the presenting of google meets are all recorded by the teachers of the students presenting for them to discover and reflect on the videoing.

So here's a video about our struggling presentation in a google meet!

You might've noticed in that video that our presentation from Session 4 was in there for you to check out!

I'm going to leave it here today bloggers but my experience was overwhelming and confusing at times but it was exciting.

Were you apart of the Student Summit this year? What did you find out about Prezi?

Was our Presentation really that laggy?

Let me know!

Make a vote any vote, just please make a vote..

 Hey There Bloggers!

Time for some advertisement am I right?
Do you like stories with weird words involved? Have you ever voted for writing?
Well hopefully your about to since during our few weeks Rimu made a competition you can decide the winner for, specifically by voting on the story so I'd say first of all the rules!

Our aim was to complete a written paragraph with 150 words or less anything higher was disqualified in an instant! And so our competitors was anyone that made the writing under 150 or exact and who had a title and a name easy? Right? You'd think so!

But our other aim was to focus on using from a grid the 28 words that we're given to us and that we needed to use throughout the storyline. Yes I'm in the competition but I'm also one that struggled with minsing my word count all the way down from 465 to 150 in approximately ONE WHOLE DAY! Which was torture luckily my lovely acquaintance Abby was helpful enough to lower it down with me.

And so with this all concluded it's time for you to get casting in all those votes, and yes you may notice the grid is filled with a lot of brainy topics from Brainy to Jellyish which a lot of people saw as Jellyfish so it was a mix up that I luckily pointed out and I know I'm amazing but continuing!

Another thing to mention is that some people were in fact disqualified during this activity.. So sad times for those people... But something you can notice is some writing is specifically either 1. A Poem 2. News Report or even 3. A Compelling Mystery which was one of the most popular if I'm being honest.

It's time for you to start casting in those votes of yours and remember vote for the one you think is the most creative, interesting, descriptive and personally your favorite to read!

LINK TO VOTING!

Let’s learn to write awesome blog posts! :D

Hello there bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

Also to put a disclaimer if you might've noticed already this was a collaborative blog-post with Hana & Briar.

Today, I’m going to explain what we have been doing for our cybersmart comments activities with Miss Morgan! We have been learning about this so we can learn how to write some QUALITY blog comments! :D And I think that it has affected us all GREATLY! So please read, comment, and enjoy!

Want some juicy intel? come to this very link and it shall take you to the main course! Although beware if the link won't work it’s better checking out our slideshow! (Nikita was clearly hungry while writing this. -_-)

Overall, I think that my learning was a BLAST! I learned a lot about quality blog comments and how to write them! (Even though I was already quite experienced with commenting. -_- I’m trying to sound excited, or whatever, okay??)

Have you learned anything new from this? Or did you already know about this? What more could I have mentioned in this blog post? I would love to hear all your answers in the comments below!

Resilience definition pasted into a blog-post.

Hey there again bloggers!

I'm back to talk about resilience which is quite an obvious topic. For example Andy was always picked on and teased but he learnt to use Resilience to support himself and soon the teasing and picking on was gone. (This was a type of example to show what resilience is although he should tell an adult.)

Anyways... Time to get into the meaning of resilience shall we?

Hopefully you learnt successfully what resilience means and how to use it in different scenarios. I've gotten my video used in the DLO from this youtube example (right here :>)

From the information I've given you, I hope you can use resilience more often now!

I've used Resilience many times in my life from childhood to my years now, but using resilience is something you can try when it comes to many things from tests, homework,  ability and in general your own work.

See you next time bloggers! Hopefully you can use resilience more often now!

James Clear the man of helpful guides to humanities stress.

Hi Bloggers, I'm back with something different.

Our class and lovely teacher as looked over quotes, research and topics from James Clear. The main man himself, although most people possibly might not of heard from James Clear although his research for other jobs careers and opportunities is what made him create these topics. I'm going to be looking at one of his topics The 2 minute Rule.

I'm not talking about when you drop food on the ground I'm talking about your processing and thoughts of movement. James Clear sees if you don't have anything on your mind to do it's good to take at least 2 minutes to rethink what your next move is.

We read and learnt about James Clear through this link here which is a place you can learn about him and his work as well.

I've made a more deeper explanation of the 2 minute rule right here in my google drawing, I made definitely perfectly..

Our information was found here in the 2 Minute Rule Article made by James Clear himself.

This 2 minute rule helped me start quicker, especially in the morning since I for one love sleeping therefore when trying to wake up at 7:00 in the morning it becomes a pain. So I used the 2 minute rule to analyze what to do when I get up. Most times it actually worked!

I found this a interesting experience, and easy tactic to use. How do you feel about James Clear? Do you believe James Clear is a regular author or something more? When and Where do you think using the 2 minute rule could help you?

Thanks for reading through this far bloggers!

See you next time!

Sniffing Marshmallows or Eat dry spaghetti?

Hello there Bloggers,

I'm here with a blog-post that is a bit unusual.. some marshmallows on top of spaghetti towers of shame if I'm to be exact.

Rimu was challenged to join a group of 4 and work together to make a tower completed has high and stable with a marshmallow on top.. some failed some bailed and some nailed.

Right here I have photos and a brief idea of the rules and items of food we must have, sadly the one metre of string was useless but we still draped it over our creation to make sure it was all included..

Google slides was helpful to make this tasty looking presentation, but as you can see by the rules, items and photos it still was a fun experience for the whole team!

Don't worry.. we ate the marshmallow at the end.. and the spaghetti.. but anyways I loved this experience it was a way to enhance teamwork and bonding but alot of our progress made a difference!

Would you eat the marshmallow or dried crunchy spaghetti? Have you done this before? Did your parents throw you in a room and test you with a marshmallow on a plate?

Don't forget to tell me!

Talk to you next time bloggers!

Interesting choices of traditional foods here in the Matariki Celebration..

Kia ora Bloggers,

I'm back with another blog-post talking about some traditions, specifically the Celebration of Matariki.

I've learnt a few things about the celebration of Matariki that I'd like to talk about and perhaps you'd like to explore this further than I am but anyway let's get right into it!

Firstly I'd like to talk about some weird but simple food they have like kumara, fish, bird and for some reason berries. This tradition involves these foods alot and naturally when storehouses get filled with these food ingredients it normally starts the beginning of Matariki.

But that's not all I've found some interesting stuff I've not really heard before and I've designed a perfect DLO showing all the random anonymous facts about my now knowing information. Right here!

If you have any other information I'd love to know, beware this isn't the only thing lurking on my blog so please feel free to look in the future, but this lovely DLO presented to you was made with Google Drawings. Sure it's simple but it atleast makes an understanding of what some facts are of the Matariki celebration.

Have you done this celebration before? What have you learnt about the Celebration of Matariki? Does your appetite feel interested in these traditional foods?

Make sure to tell me! But for now that'll be all today, see you next time bloggers!

Spreading Sheets across my blog..?

Kia ora Bloggers,
I'm back with a new topic for today, Rimu have taken their interest to learning how to make a graph using google spread sheet and I've produced something perfect to demonstrate it for you!

Typically I use a graph or spreadsheet not often so this was a nice activity and blog-post for me to actually make one. Since every morning we answer questions on our sign in sheet, Rimu had a question about our eye colors therefore those who were here on the day would fill out the question.

Which seemed pretty useful when it comes to making a spreadsheet graph, when all the information is already generated and listed for you to use. Unless you have another way of generating all the information from your class? Oh well check out the slideshow I speciffically made for making the demonstration of how to make your own graph using google spreadsheet!

This is a easy way to make proper graphs in only two minutes if you have all that information stored properly. Make sure you check out the video we learnt graph making from right here! (LINK)

How did you find this slideshow I scratched together? What else could you use a graph for? Have you used the same method of graph making as us? Whats better the video link or the slideshow? Hopefully you can let me know!

Thank you for learning graph making, I hope to see you next time!

How I get attention drawn to my life!

Hey there Readers,

During our recent weeks cybersmart is one of our main focuses for our learning. For once I'll provide your eyeballs onto a link! (Click me I dare you!) The link I've just given you should in fact send you to the uru manuka website where it all started..

Now that we've taken care of showing you that link, It's most likely time to show you some of the interesting work of arts we've taken most of our attention to. Now this is a large column of photos specifically dedicating to me, some photos were made by myself and some we used the helpful website of Unsplash where they allow you to take photos with their permission and also link their names with their work.

This was a fun way to express myself in ways of what I like, I tend to relate around nature and I  enjoy freeing myself through many things. And with the help of some of the lovely artists on Unsplash.

Expressing yourself can become difficult when your not that confident all the time. Therefore what is one of your favorite things in your life? Do you relate to some of my interests? What was your favorite thing to learn about another person like myself? If you enjoyed this idea your capable of making your own to express yourself this simply.

Thank you to google drawing and unsplash for the ability of making some of these photos possible and remember you can take photos from your own photos.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you again Readers!

Bubbles In Houses or Houses In Bubbles??

Kia ora Bloggers!
I'm back with something more arty this time!
And no it's not a bubble blowing house competition it's Art by House although we design our own bubbles! And so I'd like to introduce our activity for the week which we found it extravagant for these few days! :D

This activity is going all over the school, for it's creativity and collaboration with all the classes! Everyone has taken part of this activity and it's a great idea haswell! I decided to represent my house Edgar meaning Green since we're going off our houses we use our colors pacifically.




I found my bubble pretty basic even if it looks like a kiwifruit with the black and green.. But I found this experience a time to relax listen to music and color how I like!

Does your school also do such an activity has our house idea? Once we're all finished it's put into a big group divided by house colors do you think we could somehow make it better? What house are you? Edgar is clearly one of the best..

Thank you and hope to see you next time bloggers!

Disaster is Ringing - Narrative

Hey there bloggers!
I'm back with another writing blog-post about today's narrative writing! I found that my narrative went well, with it's appealing source of description and interest throughout it.

A phone call could mean many things, a simple conversation, mixed up confusion. But what happens when the phone call turns into something like a disaster? That's where we're heading in the life of Hannah Jackylen (Yes this is a fictional story..) Along the way you might recognize some small details changed from real life scenarios.. Lets head into it shall we?



If you manage to of gotten through that interesting story of mine, I would love your feedback. And also I found my story intreging for not only myself but if someone else like you lovely people would read it!

What's your favourite part when it comes to dramatic endings in stories? Should I continue making another chapter or two in my free time?

See you next time bloggers!

Sharks and Students go into Social distancing?

Hello Bloggers!
Incredibly long time no see!
It's been a while since lockdown and quarantine has trampled over us, but I can't wait till this is all over. Even though we've been allowed back into our schools once again, with our personal bubbles protecting us, although alot has happened over just 3 days of school..

Such has our learning! In Rimu we've been assigned choices of writing, that all connect back to one single topic! I for one loved this, and I thought of the different ways of spreading this learning, so why not share one of my writing stories? Sure it might be long.. but it's atleast something!

Lets start with some of the following instructions that we need to follow quite carefully!

Such has, watching the video connected into our topic that we've chosen to collect the information we need! Since I chose the Basking Shark topic, I had to watch one satisfying video of the basking shark in its natural habitat, with an overall voice explaining facts and just genetic information about this great creature! (Heres the Video!)

The next step was our brief questioning about the video or topic and remember the answer has to come from you!

Now before this is over, we of course had our writing assignment for Part 3! Although you could either write or do the activity which usually takes a while and alot of work normally, so I just settled with writing an interesting story of an encounter with the great Basking Shark! I've used the website Canva to submit a performance of my story (BEAWARE THE STORY IS LONG!) hope you enjoy reading!

  
This is all I have for you today, and I found it quite exciting to do, the Basking Shark is quite a peaceful creature and it's appearance but the size can be useful in scaring predators that are possibly a threat to it away, from it's size and wide jaws. 

What's your favourite sea creature? Have you ever heard of the Basking Shark before now? Was this a helpful example of the basking sharks information? Thank you for reading!

Writing Of Isolation

Hello Bloggers!
Hopefully most of you are doing well in our isolation from the germs!

Has most of you know, our teachers set us work for us to do, whilst we stay at home.. instead of going anywhere.

Well each week, expectations of a blog-post are there since we of course should keep up with our school work.

And that is where I'm at now, but this blog-post is reflecting on the Writing Activity of 'Breathing & Stress' so without further ado I'll get into showing you my Google Drawing I created to present my writing.

I found this different experience of writing but it allowed me to spill out all my thoughtful procedures onto a piece of writing. I find meditation really easy for myself, but not all the time I can sit still, normally I have to move myself and act out my storyboard in my head out loud.

How do you focus on relieving Stress? Are you a hard thinker, or an easy thinker? Would you consider yourself the calmest in the group?

Hope to see you soon with the next blog-post!
And make sure to stay safe!

Home Learning - Pigeon Chicken Squawks make music..

Kia ora Bloggers!
Today I've decided to take home learning into the animal side but also a more musical side of learning. This activity can involve you rewriting a song or just creating a dance for your favorite music.

I loved the idea of rewriting a song but what I realize is back in the year of 2018 me and my friends Mika and Mia had made, a recreation of Eye of the Tiger. But our version seems to be more wacky and funny in most ways.

So hope you enjoy this presentation of Eye of the Pigeon Chicken Man.



Just to inform those who've seen this presentation, if you'd wait on the last slide it appears that an animation was created and it takes lots of time but it turns up in the end.

Whats your favorite song? Which do you prefer Pigeons or Chickens? On a scaling of 1-10 how'd you rate this song?

Let me know through a comment, And til next time. Thank you for learning.

Hangi from the ground to the oven..

Hey Bloggers!

Today for what Year 7-8's go to which is called Manual or.. Technology! We get expanded into groups from A to G, which I am in foods for these few weeks and I'm in group F.

Another thing to add is we get arranged into groups for cooking mostly to not have one table crowded, and of course there's a secondary school attending manual with us!

Oaklands Primary School has their year 7-8's wandering around in interesting places with us haswell. For an example I have created a DLO drawing for google drive to present to you.

I found this experiment fun and interesting, for cooking and I wondered how they'd keep any worms or parasites from the ground, from not affecting the food.

Although It tasted different than what I expected, but I'm hoping to have this food again, even though it was just vegetables that we're practically room temperature it still tasted nice.

Have you tried Hangi before? Whats your favourite vegetable and why? Do you have allergies on certain foods?

See you later bloggers!  

Home Learning! Clouds... Are FLUFFY!!

Hey there! Welcome back to another Home Learning Blog-post!

Today we learn of the description setting behind the sky, but most importantly the clouds! We sadly don't get launched into space, although we get launched into those writing books!

Because today is all about describing clouds! I've chosen a way to describe clouds mostly by the following steps, of lying on the grass, ground or just wherever and gazing upon the blue crossing skies.

I'll just share some of my description experiences through this bite-able! I mean you can look it if you want, I'm not forcing anyone... Alright! Go check it out!

I enjoy taking time to express what my mind and eyes witness, into a descriptive method. And I believe that biteable was a wonderful site to use for this presentation.

What do you feel relaxed doing? How much qualities and personal ideas do you witness from surroundings? Do you mistaken regular parts of ordinary objects for your imagination? I know I do!

Hope you come back and leave some reflective impersonation in a comment, that you can create and I can receive below.

See you next time bloggers!

Tennis balls!! they won't get over the net..

Hello there once again!
Recently these past weeks, Rimu has been experiencing some changes such has on Fridays we have different approaches with our sports this year. Meaning TENNIS!!! But of course we have the casual baseball and cricket, but I've selected Tennis and I wish to present some of the small ideas I have through practise.

We started off by meeting our teachers, although sadly I've forgotten their names, I just call them coach anyways, during the flourishing heat of the first day I infact did get my eye damaged by a speck of something.

First we learnt how to easily pass to one another, and were taught the basics, of balancing our tennis balls on the racket, and further ahead we learnt the easier parts of tennis and next we proceed to the next situation of passing it and hitting the ball directly to the practise wall.

Before I slowly leave this post to the end, I would like to know if you'll have anything such has advice to give out to us tennis learners? Do you consider yourself has a professional tennis player? Or still a beginner?

Thank you for making it this far down the post, I would love to say I enjoyed the tennis practise and can't wait till our next session, but for now hope to see you later bloggers!

Minds eye for designing! (books..)

Kia ora Blogging world citizens!
Yet again this is about a book I know.. books are- neutral items. But this is about a common but a sharing status of a blog-post about books!

But most people get attached to books either about the summary/vocabulary story line or the simple design of the front cover! Which I find both exciting and I find it the Mystery and the Humorous yet Extravagant Adventure, amusing! How about you?

Anyways like I was saying people like books- not everyone I know.. but this weeks home learning I took the advantage of my artistic- somewhat skills.. and designed a book cover for my recent book, Mind Over Matter. For my quick summary I'll just mention the important parts so far.. (No spoilers here!) Jono the main character is struck by lightning during a rapid storm of chaos, Jono afterwards noticed strange appearances of what it looked like a starfish everywhere he walked. Causing him almost to go insane, and eventually Jono meets the cause of all this star-fishing around. Arial an alien from another dimension looking for another one of his kind that is fueling off earth and perhaps at the risk of destroying the worlds resources.

This here above was the design I've made although I'm not completely confident with it, it's still a representative of what I would design with a larger amount of time and progress.

My reaction to this book was satisfying enough for me to read on & on, and I can't wait to read til the end! Do you think its possible you'll be interested in reading this book of mine? What story subjects is your favorite? Do you like the mysterious and drama or the humor and bombastically call of laughs? Or are you more into gore and adventure? I know I like a bit of gore reliability in my book, ever interesting sentence could be involving the description of someones idea and emotions of death.

Tell me through a comment! (I mean if you want to.. you don't have to..)
Thank you for reading this far!
And see you in future blog-posts!

Paying it forward- No it's not about money...

Hello There!

I'm back to talk about something quite important, for the history of children to teenagers to adults and even elderly. In the world there is always something that sticks out for mostly the treatment of others.

Some are like rumours, if someone gets hurt everyone will start their own story until the actual story appears from the one who was injured. It happens if someone responds to something, and then proceeds it like a mimic.

Paying it Forward.

People all around the world question, why would they do that? Why say that? Or just simple accusements like How could you?! or He/She said this about me!

But not everyone stops to think about people in distress and then after accusement they normally get the feeling of guilt or regret. Lets just say... not everyone gets a sweet test of Karma nowadays.

Through that Paying it Forward slideshow, I demonstrated a meaning of what Paying it Forward actually means. And whilst people have good intentions they accidentally do the wrong things without even noticing. It's better to just listen to your doctors- wait I mean It's better to just remind yourself of this strange habit and think of times you could change.

Such has holding a door open for someone or receiving a gift.

This normally would also escalate to the words of 

Holding Doors Open For Others. not everyone has a virus which means holding a door would help another and the hand sanitizer afterwards can help you.

I find this one of the best solutions, due to its capability of helping others in a source of free-will and not helping others is like the excuse of not washing your hands after going to the toilet. But I recommend this to any Leadership taker or future respectful citizens!

Have you realised anything that you've done that's been passed forward?
Have you intentionally tried to work on your kindness to others but somehow get in trouble?

Thank you for making it this far!

See you next time!

Pebbles? Saws? Leadership? How do they add together?!

Hello Bloggers!

Just Yesterday the year 7-8s we're finally split from the year 6's!! Until they came back... but while they were gone! Us year 7-8s had good fun with our Leadership activities! Throughout our learning process we started with a few visual learning ideas in the lounge and our first game involved, the teacher hiding 14 numbered pebbles around the room, whilst we stepped outside.

The rules were everyone had to be silent and the only sound was numbers, counting from 1-14 we had to touch each pebble in order without speaking but after touching a pebble the person who touched it would yell out the number, which helps the other people with calling out the next numbers.

Follow me through an adventure of the 7# habits of effective teens and see what us future leaders, have to show for the best example.

My reflection on this fun adventurous day, would probably be... the year 6's are more annoying than year 7-8's.. Just kidding! Or am I? But I find this experience memorising and I look forward to looking back on my actions has a leader, and think always before I talk. And remember to keep my attitude and anger hidden back when it's not necessary.

Have you taken a leadership role before? What have you learnt about the 7 Habits that could reflect you on the actions you represent has a Leader or Student? Have you crossed one of these Habits by accident? Let me know in a comment!

Thank you so much for getting this far, and hope to see you next time!

Bye Bloggers!

10 mins from home? How about 5 ks in an hour?!

Hello There again!

During this current week, me and my older brother decided to go for a bike ride around 5 ks down our road, and I decided to take that has an advantage. To not only get some refreshing air but also to get some of that Home learning finished!

I made a small piece of art to describe the night I had with my older brother whilst we were biking at night.

<<<=====
<<<=====


During my trip in the wild-public road.. We witnessed when we made it down the road, to the closest Traffic lights, that a Police officer was parked right on the edge of the Traffic Lights.

We realized later that their was just a bunch of them driving around the distant neighborhoods, and such for a car driver that was apparently speeding. Luckily we were in a more storing offices and large buildings so we we're safe...

But what I remember that could be possibly bad is while we passed an electric tower, I got a little anxious and dizzy due to its electricity spiking sounds.

What police situation have you been a witness of? Do you rather bike 5 ks or walk 5 ks? Have you ever jaywalked? I haven't! But another thing you should be aware of is the roads when a police chase situation like this happens!

Hope you have a good soon weekend, and don't jaywalk!
See ya, next time bloggers!

Mind over Blogger? or Blogger over Mind?

Hello Again,

Ever read a book that just enchants your eyeballs into the words and every 276 pages? Well I have, in the new book Mind over Matter, every single day we have a session called USSR which means Unicorns Smelling Sunflowers Roughly.. No I'm just joking, it means Unsustained Self Silent Reading, which you probably can tell is Silent Reading, everyone goes to the Library and returns with a book in one hand and some even have glasses in the other. But so far Mind Over Matter has been one of the best books I've read so far, so let me explain!

My experience with this fascinating book has become excellent for my tastes, it caught my eye with the cover and the summary on the back, although it's started off boring then into exciting once the first 3 pages went by.

We also find a bit further into the story that Jono is slightly being bullied by Caleb, his only standing friends is the girl next to him Brigit and Eddie their both kindly standing up for Jono. And of course Caleb proceeds to get more aggressive has the mudslides begin.

What do you think will happen next? How do you think Arial traveled here from his other dimension? Will the lightning strike cause Jono to lose track of his own life?

Creativity through Animation?

Hello there,

When the question creativity or animation comes to your head, what do you think? what could be enhancing animation and creativity together? Well I've got a few of those answers, and if the creativity runs out, animation is the salt that overwhelms its taste! Whoops, a little off track there! 

But I hope you get it, if not? Don't worry because this slideshow and explanation will help you with it, after all.. Animations are like one of the highest when it comes to a slideshow, so allow me to show you a correct animation style! 

Good day again! Surprised you made it through, I've learnt about many types of animation, sometimes you can use screenshots or even do a fast animation, but that becomes hard to keep track of.. my animation started off small like shown. Bob & Baby Bobs were the first example, but during a long period of the slides I developed small things such has a rock, seaweed(and a small secret!) 

Animation is a hard process although it's got lots of creativity inside of it! whether it develops on the backdrop or the characters! What kind of animation looks like the easiest? Are you a Expert? or a Learner? Share with me your feedback and thoughts!

Thanks to you for reading this far!
Hope to see your comments in this blogpost and future blogs!

Bye!

Home Learnings back with Windows?!

Good day!

This term Rimu began with Home Learning being our decision therefore, Rimu made each subject by drawing from a hat, and afterwards voting took place and now we have new types of  Home Learning Topics made especially by us!

I've taken a start with the first activity this week,

The challenge is for you to count all the windows in your house, and double it!
Afterwards you can share your results!

I have around 45 windows in my home, from the bathroom to each room, and of course the garage since it is attached to my house has well!

Now that I have my main number I'll have to double it which = 90
45 x 2 = 90

How about you? Do you think this is a challenge if you multiple the result further?
How many windows are in your house?

See you next time Bloggers!
