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!
