Brain master

Games:

For the past few weeks we have been playing with our games that we all made, while we have been playing with our games at the end of each game we played we will add a review the review would include questions about the game like did you enjoy the game?was it fun? were the rules clear?any suggestions? or modifications?

Feedback from other groups:

the groups who did play our gamed didn't say we need to change anything and it was fun, they also said we don't need to improve anything.

My Opinion:

I think our game was pretty fun and make more obstacles,at times it is frustrating when you're about to win but you have to go back to the start.

Curious Cove

My favourite part of camp was going to Motoara and Ships cove, first we left are camp site (curious cove) we traveled on a little boat from the camp, As we slowly traveled down and around the islands of the south islands, once we arrived at are first destination ships cove we had a fifth teen minute walk up the quiet trail so we could see the birds and native animals. I saw  a kiwi that was sleeping a curled up in a comfy position. once we left we got to Motoara It only took about 20 minutes. When we got there I had some hotdogs and cookies while the other people went for a walk up the trail to see the waterfall, then had a play around for an hour. then we left it was fun.


My least favourite part was the weather cause it was raining most of the time.


Cool sceneries          Camp!

Unique birds              Oddly strange cool animals

Really exciting            Very extravagant

Interesting weather     Exciting

Outgoing activities

Unirresistible food.

Some good memories

 The Game we created was could Brain master, basically its a game were you have to get from the start to the end their are some maths questions and fun dares if you land on it. 

The hardest bit would be landing on the start again. One rule is to see who get the lowest number with rolling both the dice. the equipment is-dice and counters with the board The board already has instructions.


          The game has a name?   

Instructions were simple and easy to follow?

Rules were clear for your group to understand?

The equipment was listed for the game?

It was Fun to play?

2-6 players play this game?

Game presentation is 100%?

Is this an original game?


I think some improvements are more challenges. The game turned out very fun and challenge

Managing Self - Accountability and Responsibility WEEK 7 TERM 3 2020

 One thing I would want to change on this google form is to add The question "Who distracts you during class and why". Many people are loud in class and do distract me, Otherwise the other questions are good and don't necessary need to change. This is the only question I want added on or replaced as.

what I have learnt this week,

this week I have learnt about prepositions-Prepositions give energy to your writing. They show position or movement e.g under, by, in, out.

Prepositions are good for needing a good start to your story and can really help hook the reader in.

I think that prepositions can really help me. If I cant think of anything to write about.

what I have learnt in class this week.

 I think that Kaitiakitanga means giving and protecting mother nature and all wildlife. Its best that we change the way we act so the future would be better for us and the planet.

in D.A.R.E I have learnt about more drugs and how they can affect you. I have also learnt that they put drugs in different categories, for intestines their are  class a,b,c / c- is the worst.

I have achieved active learner for a ROAR for this week. I have been showing up to class and  been  listening to the teachers and following the ROAR values.

I enjoy  epic because you have different varieties of books you can read. Especially if you don't have a book in class or you have finished your book you can just go on pick.

Water Pollution

 Walt- find an environmental issue we are passionate about.

My environmental issue is water pollution, I have choose this issue because all the sea animal such as turtles,Jelly fish and Sea birds are being harmed by all the plastic that have been thrown or dumped in the ocean these animals are either thinking that the plastic is food chew on it, choke then die. This is making less and less habitats.    

I am working with Ella because we work well together.

Cause from water pollution is from plastic from people littering and oil from cars.

Goal Blog

WALT: inform our audience how we will achieve our class goal for term 3.

Responsibility.

I have chosen responsibility because I need to pay attention to school and take it seriously, Responsibility is you taking lead of your own actions. I will always try to come on time and make sure all my electronics are fully charged.

1: I will be prepared for each of my classes.
2: I will try to come to school everyday.

This is a important goal, because it can make some life changing decisions. And it can help with my learning.

The fire seemed really hot and was big. I had to turn the air hole to change the flame colour from orange to blue( blue is very hot).  I saw different types of colours. I learnt that i can change the colour.

Algebra

WALT : use in algebra the order of operations correctly.

ONE thing I have learnt from  algebra this week?: I have learnt more about the order of operations, Its way easier to figure out the problem. I'm getting way better at maths using algebra.

WHY is it important?: Its important because it can really increase your maths if you not so good, you can learn many things from it like brackets (brackets usually help with parting the question.) and letters (help with holding the numbers. The most common letter people use is "X"). Its really important to follow the order of operation other wise you wont get the correct answer.

The Holidays


                                                                20th July

The beginning of the holidays me,my Sister,my older brother, my other older brother, and my parents went to Taupo. When we were driving up to my sisters school to pick her up their was a lot of traffic. Because everyone just wanted to leave. 
Once we got to her school she had A LOT of luggage, so that was very squishy,in The desert road their was snow everywhere. like I have never seen so much snow. Then once we finally arrived after a three hour long drive. we brought our stuff into our house. Because we have three houses. Since we arrived pretty late we just went to bed. The next morning (Saturday) we got up and had breakfast. That day was pretty chilled out it was very cold because it was winter, and we aren't that far from a freezing mountain. 
The next morning (Sunday)
I slept in till 9:40 am and had four cups of caramel hot chocolate because it was so cold. My parents went to the grocery store, to get some supplies. So I just sat In the lounge and watch some movies, like the nun, the meg, Godzilla and some series of on my block. But for some reason my Sister was doing some school work even though its the holidays.
for dinner we had some roast lamb. yum
We stayed about 5 days so almost a week, even though it was the holidays my dad and older brothers had to go to work. So me, my Mum and Sister would usually go to the shop watch movies or go for some walks, mostly sleep in.
A week later (Monday)
my mums family came to our house back were we live. They stayed for about 2-3 days because we had a Tangi *funeral* that was sad,
when they lefted we would basically go shopping at the mall, got to wellington, watch movies or even just eat food. Then when it was the last 2nd to last day we went to my older cousins 21st birthday (my dads family) in Porirua in a hall which was really funny and fun. On the last day I had to get ready for school and drop my sister off to her school. 
now School has started and it has been aight.

Otaki-Taupo

On the weekend I went to Taupo, When it was Saturday me and my family traveled up from Otaki to Taupo. On Saturday night we lefted, It was about a 3 hour drive. But since we had to swap cars, even though we were half way their it took longer and it was more tiring. When we arrived back home in Otaki we quickly changed cars and drove off again so by time we got to Taupo it was about 10 pm. Then on Sunday we were having a roast and going for a walk also just stocking up our house their for next time we go their. When we lefted it was about 5 pm but since my sister goes do a private school we had to drop her off and luckily her school isn't to far so we dropped her off. Then we went home in Otaki. when we got home it was about 8 pm. This weekend was pretty good and chill.
