Adrenalin Forest

Trip To Adrenaline Forest

When we went to adrenalin one of the CARR values that I showed was resilience by completing the courses that I started and not going back down. While I was doing the different zip lines I got worried about something breaking but then I remembered that no matter what I wasn't going to fall off because I was all ways connected to something.

My Favorite part of it would have to be completing the course because you feel so relieved once you're on the ground and you feel a sense of achievement in your self for maybe overcoming a fear that you had.

A challenge that I had was doing the zip lines because I was worried about the zip line falling off or not being able to make it across I was also a little bit scared on the bridges because most of them were narrow

Something that I accomplished was doing the bridges because they were very wobbly and sometimes you had to do it with the wind pushing you side to side.

Overall I think that it was a fun trip and I would definitely go there again but if I did I would probably do more.

Favourite Memory In Year 8

My Favourite memory in year 8 would have to be making the hokey pokey. The reason I liked making that is that we got to eat it as well and we learned how it turns into the hokey pokey. When Caleb and I made our hokey pokey it took us forever to get it ready or to the boiling point so that we could add the baking powder which would make it expand into a big lump of golden and crunchy hokey pokey. Overall I think that the flavor was sort of bitter because it tasted burnt.

Writing about a music video

In this writing below I was writing in 1st person of a girl in the music video Happier By Marshmello and Bastille. The task we were set was to write in 1st person of the dog or human.

I was having a very hectic birthday, everyone was running around and shouting then, the cake came out and then right when I went to blow it out my friend ran over and blew the candles out so I couldn't. I slowly began to feel a tear drip down my face until my uncle walked over with a box in his hands then I opened it and there was a yellow bow. I was still sad because it was only a bow. He came back with really cute fluffy labrador then as my uncle was giving the dog to me it started licking my face when I felt a lot happier that day. My uncle took a picture of me and my pet we also put my height on the door frame with the dog's height too. As time went on we got toys and a bed for him.

When I was 15 years old we had our heights put on the door frame, later that day I had football training at school everyone was being chosen beside me then I got put into a team. When I got home I started playing with my ball with my dog. The next day we had our team photo taken and I was supposed to be in the middle holding the ball then my team pushed me out, then the guy that was taking the photo told me to smile, and I did but then everyone started laughing at my braces so then I went home and laid down on the couch. My dog was scratching at the dog so I let him in then he could tell that I was sad about my braces and I put my hand over my mouth when he tried to pull my hand away

Overall I liked doing this because we got to write about something different.

Re-make of 3 Little pigs

A remake of the three little wolfs

This Is what I have done so far for my story. the part that I did today was the explanation, the story is about the little wolfs and the crab.

Title: 3 little wolfs. The wolfs are the Pigs and the wolf is a Crab. Wolf 1: Gary. Wolf 2: Clark Wolf 3: Mr. Money. Crab: Mr. Crabs

Orientation: Welcome to my story of the three little wolfs and also a crab. Read on to find out what happens to them In a forest just outside the city. Their names were Gary, Clark and Mr. Money the Crabs name was Mr. Crabs. The strongest house was made out of brick and belonged to Mr. Money. The 2nd weakest house was made out of wood planks and belonged to Clark. The weakest house was made out of sticks and belonged to Gary, and Mr. Crabs lived in an apartment On a very sunny day, the three wolves were all chilling outside when all of the sudden they heard tapping that was getting closer… then from out of nowhere, they saw a huge crab that would have weighed about 100+ kg. This crab was one that everyone feared, even the wolves...

Problem: Mr.Crabs is going to try to pull their house apart and make the pigs homeless but while he was trying to do this he couldn't get in their houses because they had defenses. The first pig called  Gary didn't have strong defenses the only defense he had was a cannon and when the wolf came the cannon didn't work so then the wolf went on.

Explanation: The reason Mr. r was doing this is that he had a really rough childhood and he couldn't stand other people being happy and he thought it was unfair that other people can be happy but not him he was also very hungry for some wolf meat.

Persuasive writing

Blogging helps improve your learning

I think that blogging would help your learning because if you have something wrong with your work someone could comment on it and give you feedback. One example is if I had something wrong with my spelling or punctuation someone could comment on it and tell me what I did wrong, or if that had an opinion on what I wrote they could tell me that through a comment.

Something else that is good about blogging is that if there is incorrect information in your work then someone could tell you the right information about your topic. Putting your work on your blog could make you more comfortable with presenting your work.

Cyber Smart Activity

Cyber smart

Tuesday the 6th of November 8BH and 8TS joined up to do cyber smart of 40 munites in the learning commons. 

In cyber smart, we were learning to narrow our search results to find the best search result for what we want. 

I think we are learning to narrow our search results to find the proper search result's because it might help us to find what we are looking for and to help us in future time. 

In cyber smart, I learned to find reliable websites and websites that I can trust and have the right information, and are not spam. 

I think this might help me in the future by gathering me the right info instead of faulty info. 

Math/ probability

Math/ probability

For Maths, we are learning about probability is the chance of something happening. For maths, Shelley had the choice of getting $5 every week or she could roll a die and 1 = $1  2 = $2   3 = $4   4 = $5   5 = $7   6 = '-.0p,n9om8ijh7ug6ft54w32$10. If she chose $5 a week she would end up with $260 and if she chose the die she would get a random amount of money. 

 If I was Shelley I would take the $5 a week and get 260 because if she chose the die one she could get a low amount of money but she would need to be lucky to get a 10.

Why cats aren't better than dogs

Why cats aren't better than dogs.

This piece of writing is me trying to persuade you that cats aren't better. The reason I think dogs are better than cats is that I have a cat and a dog at my house and the dog is a lot cheaper than the cat. I have had the dog for six years and the cat for three years, and so far the cat has cost thousands of dollars because she always gets in fights when she needs surgery and she also needs special food.

My dog is also a lot less active than my cat and mostly stays outside but the cat in inside and outside all the time and when she comes back is covered in grass and bark. My dog is cleaner than my cat and she also doesn't need to be washed nearly as much as my cat, and my dog doesn't get in fights and bring things inside. Whenever my cat doesn't have food she would wake the house up by scratching on the doors and meowing at us she also pees and poos in the house which is annoying because it smells a lot.

Overall I personally think that dogs are better than cats because they don't cost as much and don't get in fights with other dogs and normally don't come inside, they also cant get hurt and run away because they are
