"The School" Memoir

The School was usual enough, it had a staff room, a playground, a swimming pool, an office and even a library I barely went to. My friends and I did what we usually do - Eat, play infection, making memes, definitely not DABBING or eating apples while playing Minecraft doing nothing meaningful in life.

Duffy show-Moment in time

The show started with Duffy and his best cousin playing mine….. I mean Magic Bricks. As they were building a “castle” suddenly the dismantler had dismantled their “hard work” And had that made Duffy decide to go see his cousin sam. Then the background had changed and it was sam's room with her still playing magic bricks. Soon Duffy had entered the room sam was so addicted to magic bricks she didn’t even want to talk to him. That made Duffy grab his nanas Gucci glasses and do his nanas legendary dance moves. Well that was a giant mistake it had made Duffy stuck in the game and sam didn’t know how to get him out.

How to Play Roblox.

A GUIDE TO ROBLOX 

Roblox, an awesome game played by billions/most of the world. If you're new to Roblox/a noob this guide would be perfect for you. Before you start getting into the fun stuff you first must choose between being a guest (only a temporary account) or make your permanent own Roblox account (just don’t forget your password).

Then once you're logged in it will show your character's appearance and it will say “welcome back (your name or guest and a number)”. If any of your friends play Roblox you can friend them and they will either accept decline or it could take months. There’s a lot of things to do but before you play games, I suggest you purchase Robux (the game’s money) and get things from the catalog with it and get most of the free stuff as well. The gear you just bought or received for free can be put on your character to change their appearance.

Once you’ve finished customizing your Robloxian you can now spend hours on making your own game (on Roblox studio of course) or spend hours playing games pre-made for you to play. I would highly recommend jailbreak to pros/people who like escaping jail and robbing banks (not in real life, only in the game). There is a bunch of other good games like free admin ones or just simple role-playing games like murder mysteries.

When you have chosen the game you wish to play (most of the time) there will always objectives like not dying (best part about dying is hearing Oof)or it could just be a fun simulator like speed simulator where you just keep running and become the fastest thing alive (also complete the challenges).In most games, there will be items you can buy with robux and they can also help you to your advantage. Whenever you feel bored in (example)jailbreak you should go on the chat bar and ask people if you want to team up with them, that’ll make robbing banks easier and buying things with the money a lot easier.

But these are just the basics of Roblox not useful tips and brilliant tricks, you now are a...semi-pro since you know all of the basics. Have fun playing Roblox!! Oh, one more thing playing the game on an Xbox will allow you to have better graphics better games and exclusive things.


AN OOFIN GREAT GAME!!!

My speech

Intro
Why are we all so addicted to technology? Well, today I will tell you a whole lot of reasons why we are a little too attached to our devices.

1. Technology can affect our health in horrible ways and give us things like eye-strain,neck-strain or hearing loss. Don’t worry stuff like that only happens when you’ve been online for hours and when the volume is up high on the current device you’re using. Still, if we all do things online for like 9 hours each and every day we will get less exercise and then we will become lazy and unhealthy. Unfortunately sometimes when we buy things online on eBay or TradeMe there are always people who could scam us just to get free money for absolutely nothing!!!and we might get hacked by hackers which is another terrible thing that could happen online.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
2. There are bad things about technology but it can still help us in many ways. Whenever we have to wait for a while we can play games on our phones to kill time until you can leave or something like that. Most people have consoles that can be played on at home for entertainment like an Xbox One or handheld ones that can be played anywhere. It also helps very intelligent people develop new kinds of tech that are yet to make.

3.BUT!!!The one main thing about tec is that it helps schools everywhere with their learning at school and their homework. The good thing about this is that teachers don’t have to print homework, they can just check an email or on google classroom. It saves the trees since we then are using less paper and it saves time as well.

4. Even though it’s helpful we need to use less time on our device and just a bit more time doing other offline things. One of the best things to do is to put yourself on a schedule and keep on track for a very long time and have a minimum of 2-3 hours per day.I’m not saying we should abandon our phones and stick to books I mean a little less device time could possibly make us a lot more unaddicted to well technology.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, tec is a wonderous thing that helps us in loads of ways but at the same time it can be a dangerous place filled with hackers and scammers.


Reflection: This is the speech I made in term 2 about why people are too addicted to technology.

Gillian lee's 4th failed journey up Everest

     GILLIAN LEE'S 4th FAILED JOURNEY UP EVEREST

In May Gillian lee, a determined (Australia) mountaineer was trying to achieve his goal by climbing to the top of Mt.Everest.But this Climber didn’t want to use oxygen bottles nor take the easy route and wait in a huge line. So he chose to take the Tibet route on the north side, the much harder route to climb.

At 7600M high, Gill was starting to cough non-stop which caught the Sherpa's attention. They told him to stop and go back to base camp but Gill refused and he just continued to climb. As soon as Gillian's lips turned blue he instantly fainted, so they carried him back to his tent and put him in his sleeping bag while giving him oxygen and hot water bottles. A few hours later they dragged him on a sleeping mat down as far as they could with the help of a group of Chinese rope fixers. When they ran out of snow to pull him on, a group of people with yaks strapped Gill onto one which he described as "an uncomfortable ride". 6 hours later they got back to base camp and waited there until a helicopter arrived to take him to Kathmandu Hospital. 

As soon as Gill entered the Hospital his mother Julie Peck was waiting filled with rage, ready to tell him everything he had done wrong. Gill had put others lives in danger and his mum even called him selfish. The BIG question is, will he continue to climb Mt.Everest and fail or has he learned his lesson?

REFLECTION: We had to write about Gillian lee a climber that wanted to climb Everest without oxygen. Please enjoy the quality piece of writing I did about Gill.

EMR: Thank you letter to Isabel

After snorkelling at Whatuwhiwhi we wrote a thank you to isabel to thank her for taking us their,here's what I wrote:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Dear Isabel,

I would like to thank you for taking my class and Te Manga snorkeling at Whatuwhiwhi. It was an amazing experience and I wish we could  go snorkeling again sometime.

As soon as everyone was in the shallow parts they already found blue-eyed triple fins. When we got closer to the reef, there were loads of kina, kelp and heaps of other species. Then I dived straight to the seabed and I caught sight of a small eagle ray. I thought that might of been my best thing I saw! Later on we swam to the colossal rocks and found a school of triplefins!

Once thanks again for taking us to Whatuwhiwhi to go snorkeling .

Yours sincerely,

LYRIK

upskilling sentences

WALT: Turn normal sentences into descriptive complex pieces of writing.All we had to do was add in adjectives,adverbs,verbs,different nouns,and make the sentence a little longer.For example it was something like this-

THE HOUSE STOOD IN THE WOODS.👎
=
SLOWLY, A LONELY MANSION BURNT TO THE GROUND IN THE DAMP FOREST BEFORE IT WAS NOTHING BUT A PILE OF INCINERATED FURNITURE AND WOOD.👍

REFLECTION:This took awhile to make but once I finally knew what to do it was very easy and probably anyone could do this.

Report writing (Giant Oceanic Manta Ray Part 2 of 2)

The meals and predators of the Ray. 

Report writing (Giant Oceanic Manta Ray Part 1 of 2)

                        Giant Oceanic Manta ray

                             11.3.19

Habitat

The Giant manta ray only likes water for example

subtropical/tropical waters and (for obvious reasons)  oceanic/temperate waters as well. It may be found on shore but that is a funny sight that happens very rarely.

PREDATORS

Although the ray is a very huge length, Its worst predators are a bull shark (Probably one of the worst) a tiger shark and any other types of sharks that are bigger than the ray. There other main predators are false killer whales and normal killer whale but they might not see them often.

DIEt

They go for almost any kind of fish but it must be smaller than it’s self or it will not eat the fish.Their next type of food that they eat is plankton which is clearly it’s favourite prey and easiest animal to hunt for.It’s final foods that it likes to gobble up is a bit of shrimp and other crustaceans

POPULATION
Right now there’s just about 100 to 1,500 of them left also there population in size is lacking.Really there’s going to be none left soon.there’s loads but soon and I mean it they will become extinct.

BREEDING

They breed every two years and at the warmest seasons of the  year (like summer and spring). They probably have about 2 babies a year ( they might have more or less). The babies weigh about 25 pounds when born that’s probably x5 the size of us when we were born (they must be very heavy babies).

kiwi Part two writing

Science roadshow

At the roadshow it had heaps of inventions their but before we could do any of the fun stuff we had to sit down and watch a small. Firstly they asked for three voulenteers .The first one came up to the front and she blew bubbles in a straw which led to a glass cylinder. The water turned yellow because she blew in liqud nitrogin and it landed between 2 and 3. After that we got to go  and do something. I first walked to this bike and it was attached to another bike which had a skeleton on it . When you ride on it you look at the skeleton to see how your bones move.All I learnt was how our bones work when we ride a bike and I liked everything else to.

steps for playing Rippa

number one: Organize the players into two teams

1.Firstly organize the players into two even teams for example number each player something like 1 and 2. [now your gonna have to at least]Have a mix of girls and boys also don`t let one of the teams hog manly all the skilled players or else its completely useless playing the game when you know how would win.

2. choose a good captain

If you wanna good a captain choose extremely wisely about who`s going to be the captain.The captain should lead every one to glory not just make a fuss when the other team scores a try. Always remember that you only choose a captain that is very fair and that has sportsmanship.

3.getting your gear on
At a time like this you now sort out the tags in to two groups of the same colour. Hand out everyone out a velcrow belt so everyone can wrap it around their waist.If!!!They do not have a belt on they would not be playing Rippa instead, you would be playing tackle instead.Now take two tags and pass them down in a line to the back stop until everyone has got a pair. Now they can attach their tags onto the sides of their belts.You do this so players on the other team can rip you and so you can rip them.
