Pick a path #2

I made another pick a path because I had so much fun making the first. This one is about agar.io but I won't give to much away. Again I hope you guys will make one and share it with me. Have fun and comment how many tries it took you to complete this. This one is with my friend Anthony and it was a quick one.

Agar.io skin

After I had so much fun making the first skin I decided to make another. Also I had help from Dwayne. Hopefully you guys have made a few. Please comment about how you went. Hopefully you guys made some pretty awesome skins.

Animation

This is an animation that me and my friends made. It is about agar.io. I had so much fun making it. I hope you enjoy. Maybe you guys could make an animation using google slides. The animation you guys make could be wild and things that are just imaginary. The limit is your imagination and google images.

Cultral groups

For the cultural festival I was in the Mexican group lead by Mrs O'shea. The boys costume was a sombrero and a poncho while the girls wore a red tutu, a green necklace and a red headband. Owairaka has been proud to be the school with the most groups and Owairaka has been proud to be in the Cultural festival for ages. I had lots of fun but sadly I was not able to see the crowd because after every chorus my back was always facing the crowed. If you have the opportunity to do a cultural group I

suggest you do it.

Pick a path

We made a pick a path for writing. We decided to do a pick a path because 2 people from my class showed us a pick a path slide and it inspired us. Maybe you guys should do a pick a path. I found this extremely fun and if you want to know how to link the slides just comment and I will tell you.

Similes

My brother is as smart as Albert Einstein, My brother has a mouth as big as the galaxy. My brother is as annoying as first place in gota.io savaging you, My brother is as thin as an easy to snap twig., My brother is as tall as a tree, My brother is as triggered as Donald Trump. We wrote our own similes because we read a book called "Jason's extraordinary hair" which had lots of similes in it. A simile is when you compare to things using the words like or as. Can you write a cool similes. Share it with me on a comment.

Kindness claendar

We did the kindness calendar because we wanted to promote kindness because at the end of the year when people start getting crazy and selfish. I found this task fun and medium difficulty. Comment if you have done one of these.

Storyboard about holidays

Today I made a storyboard about what I did in the holidays. I found it easy because I learnt really quickly how to use it. I found this task quite interesting because I usually write about my holidays in a google doc. 

Diwali celebration

Today we learnt some interesting facts about Diwali. Some people came in and talked about Diwali. First of all what is Diwali? Diwali is a Hindu celebration that celebrates the New Year. Diwali also stands for "festival of lights".

Diwali is India's most important holiday. Diwali is also a holiday in other country's.

Diwali lasts 5 days. (but they get a 2 week holiday) Each day is important, the first day is the start of the financial year. Second day they celebrated the vanquishing of Naraka who was a evil warlord. Third day the worship of Lakshmi. Fourth day they celebrate when Bali took over his new kingdom it is also the is the new year. Fifth day the day when sisters worship their brothers.

Who is Lakshmi? Lakshmi is the goddess of treasures and good fortune. Lots of people do a small prayer in there homes.

What does Diwali mean? Diwali means rows of lighted lamps. The more lamps they light, the more likely Lakshmi will tempted Lakshmi will be to visit them.

What happens during Diwali ? Gifts are exchanged often sweets or candles.

The ladies from the show that we watched wore a sari. The original lengths of a sari is about 9 metres. I thought the show was really good. The ladies wore bells on there legs that were 7 kg's a bell. I was blown away by that. They have 2 bells so that is 14 kg on there legs. This is a picture of the people who came do a dance.

Animation

IN my free time I made another animation. This animation was made by Antonio, Dwayne and I. We spent quite a long time on it. I hope you like it. If you want to make one you must have a google account go on drive and create a slide. Then if you make a slide. Then duplicate the slide and move it bit by bit.

Gaver.io skin

Using pixlr I made this agar.io skin. I had some help from Dwayne who came up with the idea and helped me with actually making it. This was before.

This is after.

If you want to know how to do this according to a video. Search up "how to make a custom gaver.io skin" I hope that if you make a skin it looks cool and comment what skin you made. Have fun creating :P

Speech intro

Do you want to avoid getting hit in the stomach or hit on the head by something? Getting hit by something that you wish you hadn’t, well today I’m going to provide you with the answer to avoid all these things. The answer? Open up gaming clubs in schools. It’s that simple. Hi my name is Ethan and today I am going to talk to you about why their should be gaming clubs in schools. Did you know that over 1.8 billion people play video games that’s like 1/6th of the world's population.

If you are wondering what this writing is its my speech intro. I was in the top ten of the class speeches. We had to aim for three minutes to 3 minutes 30. One tip if you are nervous don't look at everybody only look at your friends.

Being organised

This week I have been organised by getting all my stuff ready for school, (getting my Chromebook charged, packing my lunch, getting my clothes ready) and when I get to school I play until the first bell at 8:30 and then I put my bag up pull down the chairs and then I put my Chromebook in the right spot if I brang it home.  Then I go out knowing that I have gotten everything ready. Then I can enjoy the rest of the day without worrying about having to get, something organised.

Minecraft excel

We are doing a musical called Mindcraft the Musical and no I did not spell that wrong. For the musical we were given a task. We had to create a Minecraft related excel. I decided to do Herobrine because he is the evil person and he was the only person that I could think of when we had to choose. I used google sheets and coloured each block one by one. I did this in under a hour. Which is pretty good for me. It was really fun making this.

Chapter chat

We did chapter chat for a few weeks and we had to put our projects on to a slideshow. Chapter chat was really fun and I joyed doing the projects. Here is my slideshow for the chapter chat. Hope you enjoy it.

My perfect last day.

It was a extremely sunny day. I had just been to Pb Tech at Queen Street. While I was over there I bought the best gaming setup in the entire world. Now I am setting it up. 5 gaming screens, gaming mouse and keyboard. Best of all, a really nice gaming chair. Lots virtual reality headsets and a wheel for racing games. I had also just gotten Skype so I can Skype with lots of famous you tubers and my friends. We had decided we would play games all day. But then we could not decide on a game. We ended up playing league of legends most of us had just started so we spent a whole bunch of money on it so we were awesome. We had made a plan. Me and Jumbo would go up and everyone else would go and sneak around and ambush. We were dominating everyone that we versed so we decided to make a little clan. We had unlimited snacks and drinks. We beat EVERYONE.

We were given this writing task. The task was to plan our perfect day. Also if it was our last day.

Science in a van

Today we had a really cool visit from the people from ‘science in a van’. They taught us lots of new things and it was extremely fun waiting for something to happen. In the morning session we learned about the energy wanting to go one place but something was pulling it the other way. To demonstrate they put a cup full of water on a piece of cardboard with string attached to it and then they grabbed the strings and swung the cardboard around and the cup nor the water fell of the cardboard. They also said that nothing moves without pull or push force and to demonstrate that they pulled a table cloth and it did not move the cups. That was because of friction. Their was not enough friction to make the cups move.

After the morning session they taught us about atoms and how we can use our senses to identify an object. To do that he got 5 volunteers and put blindfolds on 4 of them. One he put gloves on. They had to use one sense to identify a given object.  

I learnt that there are 3 states of matter

1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas

I also learnt that when lots of tiny atoms join together they make a molecule.

Another cool thing I learnt was when you put dry ice or C2O into a container and shut the lid the container would blow up.

I had a really great time watching ‘Science in a Van’. I learnt lots of new, interesting, information about states of matter and I would highly recommend it to anyone else who had the opportunity to watch it. It was the best science show I have ever watched.

We had a visit from the people working for 'Science in a van'. It was really fun watching them do lots of little science tricks. I hope you enjoy this little piece of writing about 'Science in a van'. The people who came to our school was Adam (in the picture below) and Emily.

Holiday writing

Movie review-Guardians of the galaxy vol 2
On the last day of the school holidays I went to the movies to watch Guardians of the galaxy. My favourite part was at the beginning when they were fighting the giant monster and baby groot was dancing. To be honest I would rate that movie a 5/5 mainly because of the action. My favourite characters are Yondu because of his weapon. All Yondu has to do is whistle and the arrow will obey. My other favourite character is baby groot. Baby groot is really funny and when he gets sad his eyes go all big and watery.  

After the school holidays we had to write about one thing that we did in the holidays. I picked going to watch Guardians of the galaxy vol 2. I hope you enjoy my little movie review about Guardians of the galaxy vol 2.

Chapter chat

For chapter chat we had to do one task and put it on this slideshow. This is two activities that I chose to do out of the 8 activities. Hope you enjoy:). For the Kahoot you say the answers in the comment section. I will say if you are right or not.

Holiday writing

Who	What	When	Why	Where
Mum, dad And brother	Cruise	Late December	Holiday	Around NZ then to australia. (part I am writing about is the milford sounds.)

Smell	See	Hear	Feel	Taste	Think/say
Very strong smell of sea salt	Dolphins, Orcas, trees, caves and birds hunting.	Waves smashing on the boat, The engines groaning.	A large amount of salt.	A tiny bit of salt.	This was the best cruise I have been on.

In late December my mum, dad, brother and I went on a ship for the holidays. The ship's name was ‘Radiance of the Seas’. As my mum, dad, Lucas my brother and I sauntered outside of the awesome Radiance Of the Seas I felt the hefty wind blowing against my face. I held tightly onto the handrail and was not really surprised that the handrail was consumed by salt. I then realised I saw something blowing out of the water. I thought I was crazy until a Orcha jumped out of the water causing a humongous splash. Then as I watched amazed they disappeared. Probably to continue their journey.

Just moments later I heard some clicking like a dolphin would make. When I looked in the direction the clicking was coming from, I saw a pod of dolphins. Just wandering around the open sea. They were magnificent.

As I got bored of watching the dolphins I looked around and saw lots of seagulls hunting. I have never seen that before so it was awesome. I looked in another direction and saw a bird which was going away from land so I was puzzled what that bird was doing so far out to sea?

The sights were magnificent that day and so was the rest of the cruise.

By Ethan

After the Christmas holidays we had to write about one thing that we did. I am writing about the Milford Sounds. Hope you enjoy.

Waitangi day poster

For Waitangi day we had to make a poster using google drawing and here is six facts that I learned about Waitangi. I found this task not to challenging and not to easy. Hope you enjoy.
