On Monday, the teachers and year 8 were handing out banana smoothies. It was free, but you had to bike for it. The only reason we had to bike for the smoothie was to make the smoothie.  The blending machine was a part of the bike, so we had to peddle to mush the banana to make the smoothie. Everyone had a couple of smoothies, but my friend had 7 smoothies. They served other kinds of flavours like berry’s and strawberry. I didn’t get any but it looked really yum.

What kind of smoothies do you like?

On Tuesday, we learnt how to make a Google video from a different school. We went on a google meeting with different schools, and they taught us on the meeting. But we had a little wifi problem, so we couldn’t stay at the Google meeting. So the teacher decided we could have a little bit of fun and make our own Google video. This is the video I did, it is a little bit weird but it was fun making it.

For the past 2 days we have been working on pictures our teacher sent us from his farm. We had to make them speak with speech bubbles. We could choose what they say and what their thinking about. This is the one I did.

I made my one about a sheep creeping up on 2 little chickens and wanting to eat them.

I mean it was alright doing this, but it was kind of boring.

Yesterday we had a guest come in called Johnie Timu. He came in to show us his program and we had another guest come in, and his name was Xavier. But Johnie called him Temu Justin Bieber. but then everyone went to call him that as well. We played like 2 games and they were really funny to watch. The first game was pictionary and Rita says. But near the end of the show, he decided to do a handstand.

But the at then end we got our Duffy books. The books that I got were Bone and Bad Guys. Here is a photo.

Some random guy is in the background but who cares.

What books would you get??

For a couple of days we have been working on our advertising video. We had to plan a script and names for the characters. Me and my friends called our food restaurant BBCC. Also known as, Big Brown Crispy Chicken. After we planned the script, we had to make the video for the advertisement.

This is the video we did.

If you made a advertisement video, what would you make yours?

For the past week we have been learning about spiders in our ecosystem. We had to talk about how important spiders are in our ecosystem and summarise it in our own words.

This is my summary.

Spiders are important to our Ecosystem because they play as a predator for other bad insects. Spiders help keep out little pests and disease carrying insects that can damage plants like a mosquito or a tick. After they eat one of those, they collect the nutrients in their body. And then when they die, they release all of the nutrients that they consumed into the plants to make it grow faster.

Yesterday we have made a poster about Kawa of care, we could choose what problem to do like water near our Chromebook, not on the right thing or Chromebook not charged in the morning. This is the poster that I did.

I chose the charging one for my one.

If you could choose one what would you do?

An ecosystem is a group of living things and non living things in an area. Which include plants, animals and other living things.

Ecosystems require three main roles: producers, consumers, and decomposes.

Producers are things that produce food for us or other things. 

Consumers are like either bugs or animals that consume other things.    

Decomposes are breaking down things for the producers.  

For art we have done fish painting. Some lady came in and talked to us about the new Brighton wall. And how we have to make fishes to put up on the wall. We had to make a sketch first and then after we finished, we could paint it on the real fish. We did the sketch on our inquiry books. Some random people put it on the wall near copelands.

This is what the wall looks like. It looks really cool, but i dont know what it looks like in person.

What type of theme would you put on your fish?

For two days we have been watching a movie called hatchet. We read the book first though which was really long and took a long time to read. The Book/Movie was about a thirteen year old boy who travelling to Canada to meet his dad for the holidays. But the mid way through the flight the pilot had a heart attack and the plane had no fuel. The plane crashed into a river and he had to survive for 2 months in a forest.  He found his stuff and the survival bag, he found food in the bag and then he ate it. Mid way through him eating, a different plane to save him. And then that was the whole movie. And book, but in my opinion. The book wasn’t really good. we had to sit there for a couple of minutes.

And listen to the teach read the whole book, it took a couple of weeks to read the whole book. But after the book we watched the movie.

It was really boring, i am not really into survival types of books, but the movies are alright. I am more of an action book type of person, but the movie was alright. It was really boring though, it took two days to watch the whole movie, but in my opinion my favourite part of the book was when he saw a bear and was eating berries. But in the movie, my favourite part was when he jumped in the river.

My least favourite part was at the end. It went too fast and he only asked the pilot if he wanted something to eat. And then it went to a different scene where he was at home.

I Highly recommend this movie/book to anyone who likes survival movies, but i dont really recommend this to people who like this type of book, or movie.
