Minecraft Time

We have been doing the monthly challenges this month we did the desert we had to do a report on to this is my report me and Ben worked together we had to go in and plan and creat and write about it.

We had chosen to make many things for this Challenge. We had made a Bunker, 2 Houses, a Well, a Carrot farm, and a blossom tree. 

I made a floating house and just a house with underground tunnels that takes you to an END PORTAL. Ben made the end portal. My floating house has underwater tunnels. Ben made a carrot farm underwater. We had chosen to make a farm because we needed food to survive, and we had a well for water. We made a bunker with all the things we need, we have a book chest, even an ender chest. But the bunker is camouflaged into a house. We had made the blossom tree for it to feel like there were more trees. We have a house out on the water and it leads to a fish tank. But you're underwater and the fish are above you, and it leads to the carrot farm. We have a secret entrance to lead into the end portal, but you have to pull the secret lever to get it to activate. We also put buried treasure on the island. Do you think you would be able to survive on this island, with all of these things? If you think you could, go to Ben and you can try to survive on the island with nothing.

 It's been so much fun doing this we had so many things and it took us about a week.

Snow White And The Grumpy Little Monstars

 Last week we were recording our show SNOW WHITE AND THE WURU AND A HALF MONSTERS. We are on like take 12 in the show. I am Monster 1 and I live in the forest with the other monsters in a little cottage. It's hard to act the lines out and say them at the same time. We are probably going to have a bloopers video.

It's been a lot of fun and we have laughed our socks of heaps doing this. It was hard to learn The Monster Mash (song) but we actually learnt it somehow. Our class dance was a disaster at the start. It's been so hard and the most simple things we got wrong but it's going to look great when it's finished.  What was the last school show or just show were you in?

How could we do this better?

Do you think you would like mountain biking. We have been leaning how to writer a formal letter and I am loving ti.

Still just 26, Cooper is consistently at the sharp end of the professional cross-country mountain bike rankings. 

The North Canterbury professional won the UCI junior world title in 2012 and the under-23 rainbow jersey in 2015 – the only New Zealand mountain biker to achieve this feat. He took out the gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the silver in 2018. Cooper is in his fifth year with the Trek Factory Racing team on the world circuit. He has been ranked as high as seventh in the world and was 24th as the World Cup season returned following the Covid-19 break.

Matariki/Harakere Baskets

 This week we have learning how to make Harakere Baskets. When I made my one and I was working on my one for a long time. We made them for the surges that we are having on Friday and Matariki. Making  Harakere baskets is not easy the baskets  are 7 by 5. This is important because It's our culture. 

This was fun and hard I hope we can do this again. It's not easy to make a Harakere Basket you have to be very genteel or it will brake. It was changing it do this.

My rocket tacks flight

On Wednesday I finished my Rocket so we went outside and lunched it it went start up and on the way down it hit the tree and One wing came off. After the first lunch we tried to lunch it again but when it got to 90 PSI the top came off and the top of the bottle cared. So next time I make a rocket I will pot glue on the top.

When I did this it was really fun and I can not what to do it again. I had to run or the rocket cloud have hit me. IT was so cool because it spun.

Do you think Improve my rocket for next time?

Recount, True or false

 We have been learning how to write fiction. We had to write two Recounts, one true and one false.To write a good false/fiction story it has to be really believable and convincing.

This was so much fun and hard because I had to stand up in front of the  class and read out my Recount, then the class had to vote on which one was true or false..

Have you ever done this before and would you do it again.

ANZAC

 At school we are Learning about ANZAC. We have  learned that the Anzacs went to the wrong beach.  It was not what they were expecting they got ambushed. Instead of a small hill they arrived and they got big cliffs. It was horrible they had to sleep on the ground but after three weeks that got you to it. They had to hide in trenches and if thay put there heads up ban your dead, so that made a periscope. When they had been at war four 8 months they planned an escape so the trak,s would not be killed on the way out and made guns that 

I made this letter Dear Mum, we have been in Egypt for weeks.  some idiot named John led us on the wrong beach  at Gallipoli. My best friend Jim got shot on the 18th of may . Three weeks after Jims tragic death, Jake, Bob and I  went out and  killed 16 soldes but Bob  was killed. So now it is only me and Jake because Hugh fell off the top ladder and drowned ;before we started.  Sadly a turk shot the chief. We think the turk's name was Bill    so we shot him .  It's been 4 months. Old man Jeff got his head shot off. 

It was so hard sleeping on the ground but now we are getting used to it. If we put our heads up, bang your dead. So we made a device that has a holl at one end and one at the other with a mirror at both ends so we could see up the top without getting shot. We are planning an escape. We are going to make guns that fire by themselves.  

 fired every five minutes.

When we did this it was so fun I had no idea how horrible it was  sleeping on rocks in trenches. You should learn about ANZAC.

Do you no that day the ANZACes got to gallipoli

Me and Clued up Kids

 On Friday   we went to  Clued Up Kids to learn about safety. My favourite one was the one on Quads. On a Quad you should were a helmet. You  should  be 16 to ride a grown up sized Quad and you should be with another  person with a phone or grown up with a phone. You should get trained with a trained  expert and pass.

My work went well , it was very fun and I think  they should keep doing it.

Kawa of care

This week we looked out the Kawa of Care.  We looked at a very boring Google slide with the rules on it.  We desided that we would turn this boring slide into a cool looking professional looking poster.

To do this we went to a site called, Canva.  Inside the Canva site we made posters using tempates.  We choose a good looking poster and put our own pictures and words into it.  Mr A is printing this out on A3 sized paper and we will put it on the wall.

This was a really fun task and it was easy to make a really professional looking poster.

this is my poster do you think it is cool.
