Christmas holiday fun

EOTC WEEK!

EOTC IS OVER SADLY!!! (EOTC = Education outside the classroom)

From Tuesday to Thursday to the next week of Tuesday was all fun and drama.

and since its now Wednesday we were given questions and a blog post to write about our time at EOTC week.

What did you enjoy the most?

I enjoyed going to Adrenalin forest again to experience it all over again.

What did I not enjoy?

Getting a big sunburn on my left leg and 2 sunburns on my shoulders which leaves me in pain, and is still in pain.

My best memory?

Is spending time with my friends as we experience the fun together like, Archey, Fire building ETC from Omaka scout camp,

Having fun sleeping at Spencer park before releasing I got a sunburn

Having a wonderful (It was scary) time at adrenalin forest
On-course 3B! (It was terrifying I slipped)

                   

                 But most of all spending it with the people I knew

Passion projects (Musical)t

For the last past weeks I have bee doing Passion projects, my choice was Musical and were doing a play called Bugsy Malone. I play as a waiter and is very happy with my role even if I don't do much.

So far we've gotten through the whole play but some things could be added.

Like Maybe for my role when Fizzy is singing I could stand there and dance along a bit and admire him.

And could add a bit more sass to my line.

in the end the play is really going good

My favourite thing this year

3 More weeks till school is finally done for the year.

This week is week 7 meaning week 9 is our last, for Monday were doing a writing task on what we liked about this year.

What I liked about this year was the Koru games,

Why is this my highlight?

Well last year I never got the chance to do the Koru games because I didn't think I would be good at it so I didn't try for it and also because I was playing netball in year 7, unlike this year I was playing football.

Which I'm kind of glad I am now.

the first day of the Koru games was kinda chill, we got on the bus got off had the opening ceremony then got back on to go to our destination but some people stayed behind which her likely to be the netball and rugby.

I also liked the Koru games because its where people could get competitive with others.

It also helped me interact with the people on my team more.

and most of all I had my best friend Tyra with me.

EOTC task 4

(All of this is in order)

Task: make a Piktochart about water safety and add 5 tips to avoid hazards in the water.

A dogs life with her best friend (Marshmello)

In class, we watched a video (Video above) and were told to write the perspective of the girl or the dog, from the start of the video, here is what I ended up with.

I sat within the midst of the crowd as I was handed a birthday present, I opened the lid to see a yellow bow, I picked up the bow as I looked at it with an unhappy smile, why a bow? did I do something bad? I thought as I watched my uncle leave and soon come back as I watched him bring in a golden retriever.

My face lit up as I began to stir in my seat as I gave a wave to little puppy as the puppy was handed to me as it licked my face, my smile grew, I felt so happy.

I stuck the yellow bow on the dog as I smiled for the camera.

-Later that day-

I stood near the wall frame as my Uncle got a pencil as he put a line as to how tall In was, I bent down so he could do it for Yellow my puppy, I decided to name her Yellow from the bow I was given for her.
I watched as my uncle drew a line under Yellow as I smiled, life couldn't of been better.

-years later-

I was standing against the wall I knew too well as my dad stuck a line above my head as he left, I grabbed a small dog biscuit out of my pocket a made a circular motion in front of yellow as I laughed and leaned down giving it to her as she ate it.
I then began to ruffle her fur as I smiled walking away.

-at school-

I sat on the sports bench at school while the popular girls were picking who they wanted in their team... of course, I didn't get picked but laughed at as I sat there playing with the ball in my hand.

-home-

I had a ball in my hand as I stuck it on the ground and played of a bit of football with yellow, she was a great buddy to play with when no one would, even if she was a dog.
she would always be there for me.

-Next day school-

I was leaning on my knee on the grass as we were going to get our photo taken as a group as one of the girls pushed past me which made me end up standing for the photo instead of kneeling, I didn't mind, kneeling hurts my knees, I gave a small smile with my mouth closed as the man taking our photo told me to give a big smile, I gave a small shy nod as I brushed some hair from my face giving a small as I showed my teeth that had braces on them, I looked to my side to see the girls laughing at me.
when they laughed at me I just felt like everything stopped I didn't
know what to do...

After that, I rushed home as I threw my bag down laying on the sofa as I heard the paw sounds of yellow asking to be allowed in, I got up as I opened the door for her as she followed me to the sofa as I sat down as she sat on the ground next to me, I looked at Yellow and gave a small laugh as I covered my mouth as Yellow stuck her paw on my hand, she really was a blessing for me having her made me so happy.
I grabbed her paw as she leaned on my hand as I got up and did the circular motion waiting for her to make a circle motion, I gave a small frown as she lays on the ground with her head on the carpet

In motion of being finished.

---------

What did I think of this task?
I loved this task because I could be free with what I wanted to write and how I would write the story.

Did I like this?
What did I like it yes I liked it?
why? Because it was involved animals, and I myself loves animals very much.

If I won summer learning journey and got $50

Hello there Emma my name is Ruby C I am from Hornby high school, I am a year 8 turning year 9

If I had won the Summer learning journey and was given $50 what would I get?

Out of all honesty, there is really only one thing I would use it for.

I would use it to get something off a game I played called closers, or if I had nothing to use it for, give it to my mum to buy food and stuff for my baby brother since I get paid every fortnight and I can wait to get paid to get what I want.

So maybe I would give it to my mother which would help her out a lot with food, clothes and baby stuff for Mathew my little brother. 

So that is what I would use with my $50.

Thank you 

for taking your time to read this.

Does blogging help me with my work

When it comes to blogging, I must say

yes it helps me out with my work and

I believe that blogging is helpful, when it comes to the comments saying like, This Was really god ETC and what they liked and what the person could change.

I honestly say it makes me happy knowing people read my stuff and might make others happy about it too.

this helps me in ways because if your doing like a topic that others have done from other classes.

You could see what they did so you get a good example of what your doing so your task is much more easier to do and to complete.

When it comes to blogging comments there will always be someone to comment on your work, which leads to saying what they liked and what you could change so you can fix your work to make it better

like adding full stops or comers or capital letters after a full stop and it also helps you cause you have to go back to your work to reread it to find those mistakes that you need to fix.

EOTC week task 2

For our EOTC week tasks, this would be my second one as the adrenalin forest one was my first,

For my second task, we had to write the history of Omaka camp another place we will be going to.

Here is my piece of art (work)

Looking forward to EOTC

In week 7 the year 8's are doing EOTC! just before the end of the year to where we turn to year 9's

The activities I'm looking forward to is...

The thing I'm most excited to do is Adrenalin forest, going there would be my second time since I went during our Hornby primary EOTC week with my friends.
I'm hoping that I could get to the top as last time I was almost there but didn't make it in time to the top.

The thing I will be nervous about is the height. When I went there I was so high up I thought I was going to fall, even though I had a harness on and was safe from falling, I still felt so scared thinking I was going to fall. There was this one part where there were steps but they were far apart and hard to reach since they moved when you tried to step on them.
The part of the obstacle I'm looking forward to is to redo those steps again so I can do them with no fear and be able to pass them like it was nothing.

I think I'll enjoy just going there again to face my fears of the thought of falling and hitting rock bottom to my doom and to hopefully make it to the very top before leaving.

This activity is highly recommended as it helps you get outdoors and helps you with keeping your balance on stuff and staying safe.

Enjoy this post.

Math Blog post

In Math, we were working on probability and each group was given a task for my math group we had to do some experiments on probability

Our L.O: we can complete a mathematical investigation

Step by Step: First off I got a 10c's coin from my teacher and a dice as I sat at a desk and began my work before I used the dice and coin I write down a sentence which had missing spaces which I needed to fill then I could use the coin, I need to put down 2 circles and then flip the coin 20 times, each time it landed on either heads or tails I stuck H or T in the circles, Then I made a chart and rolled the dice 18 times before making a tally chart and sticking how much 1's 2's 3's 4's 5's and 6's I rolled.
Then I did some answers after that like which number was rolled the most.

My results of this were I got 10 heads and 10 tails
for dice, I got 5 rolls of 1, 3 rolls of 2, 2 rolls of 3, 3 rolls of 4, 2 rolls of 5 and 3 rolls of 6

My evidence shows that a 1 on a dice is easier to get, and a middle chance of getting 10/10 for both heads and tails.

Science expreiments

On Wednesday last week, we had science like every other Wednesday, we did a little experiment that involved counting.

we were given a beacon, some ice, and a plug to a tap and a lighter, this tap was a fire tap, to control fire level, and we also had a thermometer to stick in the beacon, First off we grabbed ice and stuck the ice in the beacon, before grabbing the plug plugging it in, lighting it then grabbing a tripod which was a little stall with a pad we stuck the beacon on with the plug underneath, the plug is also known as a Bunsen burner which was a metal weird looking thing that attached its self to the plug, then went in flames, after that we counted how long it would take for the ice to melt with the thermometer in while counting, I counted to 60 before pulling it out and Tyra sticking down what we stopped at then we did the whole thing over again but using the same ice.

Our next experiment involved crystals dangerous ones heheheheh, we were given beacons with water as we grabbed a small crystal with tweezers and stuck it in the beacon then waited to see what happen, after a while the water started turning purple a galaxy like purple, then once it had dissolved we stuck down what had happened as a result.

Bottle rocket

last term for science we had made Rockets out of Bottles, first we discussed what our rocket would look like in a pair my pair was Tyra, first off our design was meant to be a kawaii rocket but we only got a wing on sadly and never got to finish due to the rockets being launched while me and others were at Koru games.

But overall it was said to be successful in the rocket launch that day.

Fairy tale make over

So its the second week of term 4 and our teacher wanted to spice writing up a bit, by making us make fairy tales... or well recreating them as our own but still using the same vibe as that fairy tale so people know which fairy tale it is.

-My Orientation-

Sometimes in a fairy tale, there is always a princess that falls in love with the prince or the prince falls in love… Well, thats definitely not how it goes for me…Instead of being a girl… I’m a guy and there is always a way to happiness

I was born in a village and traveled to the kingdom castle on a warm night on the 3rd of October of 2021 alone without a single soul of my family knowing.

My family has 5 people including me. Shiro is my dad, he's a chill guy but is also someone you can rely on. My Stepmum… we don’t really get along her name is Allura as she lives with us now she brought her two girls, Pidge and Fae.  Pidge is the only one who really gets me when dad and that woman and her child are not around I guess you could Say its more peaceful, I guess. And… this is what I go through each day

KEITH, GO GET THE MAIL “YES MAAM” *I walked over to grab the mail to see a big letter as I picked it up and began reading* “Looks like something big’s going to happen… not like I’ll be able to go anyway“ *Sigh*

DLO SolveEmoji

In Maths our homeroom teacher decided to make math a bit fun, instead of just using numbers she used Emojis to solve questions.
We were given some questions with emojis, and a number at the end, the question would either be something x something + something = ??? but with emojis, the task was to find out what number the emojis were.

After we had finished all out tasks we had to make a solve Emoji of our own.
Here is my one, Try one for yourself.

Koru Games

On the 18 of September the first day of the Koru games was okay, our first match we both got a tie of 3, then our last 2 games we vs to teams that broke the rules, I was a bit nervous facing the other teams in case I broke a rule while playing...

Speaking of rules at the Koru games there was this rule where you couldn’t say the word Mine, it was a very silly rule, that rule was broken by the 2nd team we played. Then it leads to the last game and then to where we are now the 2nd day the 19th. Standing on the field in the middle of a game with St Francis, my spot that I played in was defenses.

I was not in the right mind when we were playing against them, but I guess doing that made me kick the ball a couple of times, which made them get fewer goals, it was a fun game and we had managed to win our first game. Jorga our coach was very happy with us, I mean who wouldn’t. Then on the 20th which was the last day for Koru games, we played against Chasmare 2 for our first game.

It was much easier to vs them unlike cashmere 1. While everyone was at the front I was at the back with Nature doing the floss and singing the wedding bells while waiting for the ball to come my way, in all honesty, I was a bit shocked that Jorga or Miss Tozer didn’t tell me to pay attention to the game but instead they give me a thumbs up from when I gave them one. And after that game, we got our second win, along with a very happy Jorga Also after we started playing Chasmare 2 I didn’t really feel nervous anymore, knowing it didn’t really matter if we won or lost.

After that, I started singing the Pokemon opening but with a small twist… “TO USE IT IS MY REAL TEST, AND TO APPLY IT IS MY JOB… SUNBLOCK!”

I kinda repeated that over and over again for a while. The best part about the trip was that I got to spend it with my second half or my best friend Tyra, we even gave our selfs nicknames we called ourselves the Oddies since I was a 9 and she was a 5 which I came up with before the Koru games saying “I’m a 5 and your a 9 WERE THE ODDIES BUDDIES” I screamed with joy… and that was my first year at the Koru games.

NorthPole Riddle?

In cyber smart, we were given a riddle (The riddle is underneath this) and we had to find out which team got to the north pole first way before the others.
Our result was fairly easy to do as I worked with one of my other friends Alyscia, who helped a lot in this task.
Here are our results and answer.

ANSWER: Pevek, got there first


explorers from kushiro, pevek, amsos arrive at the north pole and check there watches, if they arrived at 11:42 am , 12:17 pm , and 3:00 am, respectively, which team was first?
