Kia Ora katoa kōrua nau ko ngaku rangitaki. Hello everybody and welcome to my blog.

 

Today I will be showing you my geometry shaped brick. I chose to do a quadrilateral because it was a very simple and easy shape to do. A quadrilateral always needs to have 4 sides, 4 corners and 4 verticies.

 

Here is my brick.

What shape would you do if you did this?

 

So on Thursday 8th of September 2022, the world was hit with one of the worst news anyone could hear. Queen Elizabeth the second has sadly passed away peacefully in the well known Balmoral Castle. About 5 hours before her death they announced that the Royal family was worried about her health so they got her checked out, later then, they were right.

After that to show our respect, most countries of the world put their flag down to half mast as a sign of respect. Now that the Queen is no longer with us, she is now with her most beloved Prince Philip. Taking her place will be her eldest, Prince Charles the Third or should I say, King Charles the Third.

 

Well sadly we have more bad things to start off the month, it was officially the 21st year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that happened in the following locations. Twin Towers a.k.a The World Trade Centre. The Pentagon outside of Washington D.C and a fourth that crashed somewhere near Pennsylvania after the crew and passengers took over the hijackers controls.

 

Rest in peace for those who lost loved ones in 9/11, and rest in peace with the queen. This truly was a horrific start to the Month.

 

 

Kia Ora Everybody!

 

Today I have created a slideshow that I will use everyday and add 3 facts about a random country. The first country I did was North Korea because there are heaps of weird laws and stuff in that country.

 

Ok be prepared for Greatness Geography facts in all of its glory. Here it is ladies and gentlemen.

Kia Ora Y'all, you will not believe what happened this week. I will give you time to guess... IT SNOWED!

It has been a while since snow has come to Christchurch, last time it came was in 2011! That's the 
The year I was born! 

Fun fact about snow!
Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together to become snowflakes.
If enough crystals stick together, they'll become heavy enough to fall to the ground. 
Snowflakes that descend through moist air that is slightly warmer than
0 °C will melt around the edges and stick together to produce big flakes.

When I woke up that day my phone was blowing up from my friends sending me snaps about
how snow is in their garden, I did not believe it but when I peeked through the window,
I absolutely busted out the door, like when Homer Simpson finds a stand selling
free donuts. 

Then when I arrived at school my and my friends had a snowball fight, some kids also
made really big snowballs.

But unfortunately the snow all melted by about morning tea time, but other than the snow melting
it was absolutely amazing!

Anyways, This is the end of my blog post now.
See you guys later!

What would you do if you saw a bog patch of snow.

Kia Ora and Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be what me and my group have made for our PBL presentation. Our PBL question was, “How can we use our voice to ensure our planet survives?” and our project was a Solar Panel Powered Electric Skateboard (SPPES).

What we have created is a Podcast that advertises the great things about our product. Our Skateboard is powered by a Solar Panel that is connected to an eco-friendly motor that does not run on gas. It starts in just simple steps by just relaxing your feet on the designated area, then  it will proceed to push you around your sidewalks or anywhere you choose.

We decided to make this because we noticed that peoples legs always get tired of pushing themselves while skating on the skateboard. Our product will automatically drive itself by the power of Solar energy once you get on. Best thing is that unlike the Lime scooter needed to pay $0.15 per minute its complete free to ride.

 

We learnt how we could make more people draw attention to our podcast, we learnt that we all needed to have expression and catchy words, That is exactly what we had done. Anyways  now we get to the fun bit, by clicking on the links you will be able to find our final product.

This week the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra (CSO) came into our hall to introduce some of their instruments and what they do.

The instrument that I liked the most was the trombone because it was the loudest out of any instrument in the Orchestra, it was also a part of the brass family which I like the most.

The thing that surprised me the most was the string family because they went from a small violin to a big violin which I have forgotten the name of. 

Something that I found interesting was the flute because they needed this thing to make the flute stand out and sound beautiful.

What is your favourite instrument in the Orchestra? I have to go now, Goodybe.

 

We have just finished two weeks of swimming lessons at QEII.

In my last blog post I wanted to use this week to improve on how to work on my scaling, I have been unsuccessful because we only actually did scaling on the last day and had no time to practice.

This week, we did a lot of water safety skills. Something that I have learnt is when you are drowning and you raise your hand you do not swing it around, and this is important because people may think that you’re just waving at them.

The thing that I enjoyed the most this week was pyjama day because I learnt how to swim with heavy clothes on, it was very challenging because my pyjamas were really heavy.

Something that I want to learn next time I have swimming lessons at school, is to try to hold my breath underwater so that I can swim far while holding my breath in competitions and challenges so I have a better advantage of winning.
