Medieval week (great banter)

Hi sorry for it being a bit late this week but things got in the way with having to read the production script and all I didn't really give myself much time to do this (my blog). I'm here this week to talk about medieval week and how banterous it was with the Minecraft role-play and all with me being the baron of the land.

What went well, well I would say bouncing back after not having one person who had lots of information went well. (this was the shortest one and I don't know why, so I am writing this to make it look longer :p  )

First question of the week is How do I think my lesson went. Well I feel my group did quite good with having one less person *cough* Katherine *cough* *cough*. creating the quiz we did was quite fun even though some things went wrong in that it went well.


What could have been done better? well the thing is I think the quiz could have been done a bit better but I can't really tell what could have been done better because I was doing it and make it sound glorified so it would be more fair to ask the people that we were teaching.
What other lessons did I enjoy, Well I enjoyed the trading game that I would say was my favorite one because it was really fun because they had all the little descriptions on them which changed the price of the completely. Then it would have to be..... um....... um........ the food one was quite interesting even though I barely participated in the activity which was eating some of the foods I gagged quite a bit when I ate one of the items and they said there would be nothing bad.

Bye
(why do all my intros and stuff keep changing every post?)

Kapa Haka

Hello this week I will be talking about kapa haka and the levels of cringe that come with it. my participation I feel is good because of some of the time some people just do something really strange and it makes everyone cringe so much.

What am I finding easy.. well I think I'm finding the singing the easiest because I like singing but I don't feel I'm good at it. I like singing in Maori because it just flows nicely and I like rolling my R's when I speak another language that isn't English.

What am I finding difficult... well I feel the timing and knowing the moves because of the feeling that it isn't the right thing to do but I always try my hardest.

How could I work on my performance... well I think I could work on my timing and learning the moves more mainly my timing though.

Sorry for it being such a short post this week its because their weren't many questions.

Medieval Minecraft (I built A castle)

Hello this week I will be taking about our medieval Minecraft world we are doing this because we want to learn about what the buildings were like and how they were made. I feel that our village is historically correct (some of it at least) I feel that the houses look like they're made out of wattle and daub.

The part that I like best about doing this is building in Minecraft as a class and learning about the castles (I'm building the castle). One annoying thing is the people who don't really want to be playing just dig holes in the ground and make it kind of annoying.

I think we still need to work on the houses and shops and things because some of the houses aren't very realistic the Inn needs a bit of work.

Two things I'm going to work on next are the defences for the castle because the only defences are one wall and a town of people and a little stream running next to it. The other thing I'm going to work on are the interiors of the castle and the towers in the corners (that are circular I'm proud of myself).

That's enough for this week. bye :)

Electives (Some people are annoying)

Hello this week I will be talking about how my elective is going I chose Creative Computers which is where we make a movie and play Minecraft. One thing I don't understand is how do people not understand how to coil up a mouse or put away a computer some people don't know where to put their computer one instance is someone had put the new computers from rm11s cow into the cow in room 12. Even though they took the computer from rm11 they still put it back in the rm12 cow.

I feel like the first few weeks of Creative computers has been good my group has recorded everything but we have yet to go on the server. one thing that happened on the Minecraft server is Someone placed water all over our island (they said they thought it was their island I did not believe this).

We have been learning how to build stuff on Minecraft (not really) And we have also been learning how to make movies (True).

Is it what I had expected..... yes because I have been doing creative computers ever since I was able to join.

What can I do to get the most out of my elective I can make it so if someone's being a downer not let them get through to me and make me feel bad/sad. I can also make it so if someone breaks something I've made in Minecraft or when we edit our movie someone deletes all the progress we've made not let that make me angry.

Tip: if someone's being a downer and making you feel sad as if you were an outcast the most you can do is smile because smiling will make you feel much better.

THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK

Castles (are old) team work (can be annoying)

Hi  guys last week we had to build castles (I felt like my group was the best). The aim was to build a castle from paper, The thing was we had to build our own nets so it got kind of annoying at times when all I wanted to do was just relax and have a break but I was told I had to make more things. I made something like 9 buildings compared to some peoples 0 which was very annoying because it meant I had done more work than them as they just sat back and relaxed when I deserved some time off. Some people in my group walked off to do tasks which left me and Avania to do a whole lot more work. The annoying thing was that on Friday me and Avania had done all of our tasks and the other two hadn't so I got really annoyed when I was told I had to make another few buildings I just wanted to throw everything down and runoff but no I had to hold strong and complete the castle. 

Sorry about the rant I just had to vent some stress/announce from me and bring it out into the air.


Now getting to the questions, I felt that when we were working as a team and not all separate we did quite good we all seemed to agree on things and it just happened.




How we decided on things we sort of just put up the idea and if the others liked it we would use that idea and use it to make things look better, like I thought of putting banners on the front towers. So we did and it makes it look way better.

Some of the problems were what I said earlier That some people walked away and some people didn't fold anything or make any nets like I did (I did get help from Avania, I made the nets and she folded them because I cannot fold anything).

Sorry about all the ranting and allbut this just brought up so... many... emo....emotions sorry sorry

*Walks off crying*

Bye I guess

Cross Country (sort of)

Hi guys so on Tuesday we had the cross country I didn't participate I had reasons sort of (not really but who really cares it is almost a sort of child labor I was exercising my rights). So did I enjoy it yes because me and Katherine stood in the furthest corner directing people round the cone. What we did was just stand their and talk but we still did our job I supported the people running (When they came of course).

Well since I didn't run or anything I Have to say when I demonstrated perseverance earlier in the day when we were making nets in math. I think I demonstrated perseverance when we had to cut out our nets and make them into their cuboid form because I got not very happy with the gluing it together stage but I just carried on with it.
So going back to the cross country (Which is really forwards) I saw Aidan Watson persevere through the race even though he was finding it really hard he kept going.

So we are keeping on with the theme of cross country and School values. The next one is Empathy I saw Riley and Mahon supporting each other even though they were still moving they were talking and just having a good time.

So that's it for this week see you next time I guess.

EndGame the training diaries-It's a book I read in the holidays

Endgame the training diaries is a book about all these different people from different really old tribes that believe their masters would come back down and make their plays play in the endgame.
Players are people that have trained all their lives to play and serve their tribe. Endgame is believed to be the end of the world and the players play to save their tribe and the rest of humanity.
Endgame the training diaries has all three volumes of the series.

All the symbol on the cover of the book -------------------->
show every tribe that believes in the story offend game with players and the symbol for endgame.

I liked that every player had it's own chapter and is explained. All the different players had a different story behind them.

I would rate this book 4.5/5

Sorry for this being quite short but I don't want to spoil the story for people that want to read this book. but that's all for this week.
