2020 the year that was

 Kia ora bloggers, I have made a poem of what has happened this year. It is called 2020 the year that was.

It has got everything from lockdown to helping the kiwi kids. Here it is 

During swimming work

 Kia Ora bloggers, in class we had a matrix of work to do I have chosen to create my own super villain by the name of Darth Sagus. The other task I chose to do was a video game but I have lost the game it didn't save.

We have been doing these while some other people in the class go swimming. 

Here is my supervillain! I also have a picture of my game.

Cool Ki o Rahi video

 Kia Ora bloggers, today I made a scratch video on Ki o Rahi a Maori game.

The general idea of the game.

 Ki o Rahi is a ball sport (the ball is known as the “kī”) that is a combination of netball, handball and tag rugby. 

 Games are 5 minute quarters with an immediate change at quarter time and a 2 minute break at half time. 

 The sport is non-contact but players wear a belt holding two velcro tags around their waist. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. 

 No watches or other jewelry are allowed to be worn during play.

 All players must wear black shorts. IFC multisport shirts will be provided and must be returned.

 Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times – no metal studs or bare feet.

 In the case of a default, the non-offending team will be recorded as winning 5-0.

Here is my animation! Hope you enjoy it!  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/444776190/

Hangi cooking comparision

Kia ora bloggers, today I had to make something that shows the difference between a hangi and the new hangi cookers. I made a canva to show this, I do two different posters one for the old hangi way and one for the new hangi cooker.

The two different ways have pros and cons. The pros of the new hangi cooker is that it cooks quicker and needs less work, but the cons are you can't cook as much. The old way for the hangi's, the cons are it takes time and effort and needs people to help, but it can give a better taste.

Here they are!

Haka history

 Kia Ora bloggers, the last few afternoons we have been learning about the culture of New Zealand. We had a task to do it was to choose either the haka, the moko, and the Korowai. My group picked the haka, we had to learn about the meaning and use of it and things like that.

Here is my work!

Lit Leaders trip

 Kia Ora bloggers, This Monday and Tuesday I went on a leaders course with the other leaders of marshland school. We learned about seven habits a great leader has, we also got to do lots of fun activities like rock climbing, table tennis, and playing foosball.

The place we went to was Papanui youth development. They have lots of people from other schools come and they work with disabled people to help get them ready to go into the real world. 

Comment if you have been there before!

The 7 habits

Science experiment

 Kia Ora bloggers the last few weeks we have been doing an experiment and writing about it, we made crystals. Our question was what crystal will work the best if we change the dissolved material. We made three different crystals sugar crystal, salt crystal, and borax crystal. The sugar crystals grow long but thin,  the salt crystals build up very slowly, the borax crystal grows wide but shorter.

Our crystals worked well, our sugar crystal worked perfectly like the video, The salt crystal didn't work as well, but the borax work perfectly as well. 

Here is our video on it!
