Beach Ed

Beach Ed 2017 was a fun experience for me because I love the sea and catching some massive waves. I loved the relays we played in the water because we rode some big waves with a board and I got the chance surf a big wave all the way to shore.

In this photo we are learning what lifeguards use for rescue, We found out they use tubes and massive boats for saving people if they are in any sort of danger.

Now we learnt what they use if someone needs to be electrocuted or has had a serious injury. It was interesting because I thought that you would just call the ambulance if something had happened.

We learnt to identify rips and how to get out of them. To escape to rip you would want to swim to the side and not panic, or you could lay on your back and drift to the end and swim away that way.

How I learnt to ride

How i learnt to ride a bike

Swoosh, there i go riding my first time on a bike with training wheels. Going down the grass aisle in my backyard hoping not to crash... SKIRMISH, there i go tumbling onto the wood platforms of my sandpit, Ouch! "Lets try that again!" i said with excitement in me. Riding around my trampoline and garden, "I have mastered training wheels" i said to myself with joy. 3 Years later in Australia, i got a new bike for Christmas, "No training wheels this time!" My dad said to me. I ride, no practice needed riding on 2 wheels, I was amazed by how good i was riding down the street on my bike, "YESS" I yelled biking down the street.

My Safety Poster

This is my poster about road safety, You have to learn your signs before you go on the road. I made a quiz to help you out on knowing your signs.

PBL Reflection

This is my PBL model of the velvet ant. I needed hot glue, paints, pipe cleaners, newspaper, paper mache and a good mindset.

What i enjoyed most is painting my PBL because it was fun and had to do many layers.

What i am most proud of is finishing my PBL because it took me a while and i had a fun time.

Something i found challenging was making a good body for my insect out of newspaper because i had to do multiple copies.

A learning muscle i stretched was perservence because i had to work hard.

Here some of my report writing, here is the full thing.

Velvet ants/pōpokoriki (also called cow killers and mutillidae ) are a species of wapi that lie of more than 3000 species. Females titiro very furry and soft with bright red and black colors, but don't let them fool you! A female has a very toxic/patini sting, so watch out! Males do not have stingers however, but have wings. Females are the complete opposite of males, they have stingers but are wingless.

Calendar Art

Calendar Art
My Calendar art is a background with parkour silhouettes
on the background. You can make it using pastels, a device to trace, black paper and a sharpie.
You will use your sharpie to draw 5 boxes drawn by free hand. Then you would draw circles like what i have done in all the boxes. Once you have done that you will color in the circles with warm or cool colors. Then cut your silhouettes out and glue them onto your background. The learning muscles i used was my perseverance muscle and my imaging muscle.

Dear Jay-Bea,

I am writing this letter to you to say a massive thank you for giving up your precious time and energy for us on camp last week. I really enjoyed camp with you and loved all of those funny moments.

My best highlight was the amazing race. I liked it when we came to you, the tarp was hard. We had to work together to flip it. I stood at the front shimming it. It was funny when Dylan kept falling off. After many attempts we finally completed our hard task.

Another good highlight was kayaking, It was funny when we crashed into you and you started splashing us. “ABORT! ABORT!” I screamed in laughter. Splash! The water is freezing, I said whilst trying to swim out of the cold water.

Claw, Claw. Everyone shivering over the massive wetas just waiting for the right time to pounce on us. The last cave was a nightmare. Crawling over mud thicker than my body,I was beyond scared straight.

An interesting fact I learned is that Lake Waikaremoana was formed about 2,200 years ago when a massive landslip blocked a gorge along the Waikaretāheke River. The gorge filled with water, creating a lake up to 248 metres deep in some spots.

Yours Sincerely

Cruze

My Special Place

My Special Place

1. Cold Temperatures            

2. Trampolining

3. Theme Parks

4. Famous Youtubers           

One day i woke up to the cold snowy breeze, fanning right into my shivering face from my massive windows. I got up to eat cereal and I pour out the freezing milk and noticed it was frozen like elsa put a spell on it. When i'm going out to play, I have to gear up like i'm going to Antarctica. The winds are extremely cold, reaching temperatures of below 0 degrees. I love the cold winds even though I can't withstand them. My favorite part of the day is going back home just to snuggle under all my sheets and go back to bed and dream about the next day that's about to hit me.

Jumping out of bed, racing out of the front door on a ice melting day. Speeding and pouncing into the car like i never have done before and speeding off to Tempest, the famous trampoline park. When we got there i immediately sped of to the super tramps, Bouncing as high as the roof, doing frontflips to backflips, 180s to 720s. I twisted and turned flopping onto the tramps. I started to do risky jumps, jumping from tramp to tramp as skillful people would do.(each tramp is blocked of by a wall and has a small entrance) i landed on my belly to   stop me from bouncing to high. When we had to go home i was feeling extremely sad. I didn't want to leave the awesome trmpolines but we had to go home.

The theme parks at my special place are insanely fun. Whenever i go on the freezing slides i always yell AHHH SO COLD. I also love to go on the roller coasters there enormous! One time i went on a rollercoaster that was over 100  feet high! It might not seem that high for roller coasters but when i got there it was about 1000 of me stacked up! I jumped on the ride, seconds later speeding off like superman flying at his full speed. When I got off the ride i saw people vomiting, I heard people yelling, I felt very dizzy like i've just ran a marathon and smelt the disgusting smell of other peoples yellow slobbing vomit all over the floor.

Even though i haven't seen any famous youtubers i know a lot that live in or around my special place. Its really funny because you dont know when a youtuber could come around the sharp edgy conners. Some youtubers that live there are Scooter Brad, NZFarmer and SlashedDuff. I watch all 3 of these stunning Youtubers. Farming/Hunting, Riding Scooters and pokemon, All of them are very well known and you should watch them.

HOW MAUI FOUND THE SECRET OF FIRE

One moonless dark night Maui gazed into the fire and said “Hmmm…” Maui wondered to himself “is fire able to be made” so he tested his hypothesis. Later that night when it was pitch black, not a single noise not a single light except the fiery hot heat of the flamey fire, he went to grab the water then quickly sprinted over to the fire on a quick paste, he dropped the tiniest drops of water onto the scorching humid fire. The fire went out. Maui laid down and waited until sun rise. 9 in the morning everyone woke up. They were furious at Maui “You terrible person!” they screamed with fury.

They forced Maui to go to the blistering sweltering hot volcano to get more fire, No one wanted to come with him, only his true friends, All the native New Zealand birds the (tui, weka, pūkeko, moa, kiwi and the takahē). He started to walk to the volcano he was sweating like usain bolt in A olympic race, he crossed the river filled with green scaly crocodiles. When he got through the river he had to walk through the tropical stormy desert, it was scorching hot but very stormy and damp. Dusty massive dust storms surrounding Maui on every angle, he sprinted like a new flash. Maui reached the other side of the desert taking him several hours, he saw a river, the volcano was on the other side of the river so he had to go through the last river, the Whanganui River. 

Maui finally reached the volcano, black ash, fiery flames, bright orange lava everywhere, he entered the dangerous volcano and saw his aunt, Mahuika the ugly lava making lady. Maui asked dearly for a little flame from her. As he asked so politely and respectfully Mahuika she gave him one but Maui didn't use it to lite a fire instead he threw it into the river! The birds watched him do it, They were frozen in shock. Maui repeated this 8 more times, Every time making up a different excuse.

“It was raining and it went out, I hurt my leg and fell on it, the wind blew it out, I fell into the river, I ran into a tiki and the tiki stole it, the tui ate it, a bird stole it off me” Maui said. When Mahuika was on her last fire she was furious, She was so furious she bursted into flames squirting fire all over Maui. Her last flame blew up into a tree. Maui saw it blow up in the tree and started to climb it, he couldn't find it but he had an idea! “I am going to rub two pieces of wood together” Maui whispered to himself in excitement. 

 Maui ran to the pa and started to rub the wood lite gray smoke started to appear, Every second MAUI rubbed the wood faster and faster until sparks started to form, the people in the pa cried with joy “YAY, WE DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FIRE EVER AGAIN,” The sticks caught fire and Maui quickly put the fire onto a cluster of sticks. The cluster of sticks caught fire creating a historic thing that will never be forgotten. 

My calendar art

My calendar art represents my family and nature.

 It was hard to make because I didn't really know what I was going for, its based on my family and the kuro. There are five kuro one is my sister one is my other sister one is my dad one is my mum and one is me. My dad is the biggest kuro and my young sister is the smallest.

The hardest thing for me was planning what to make and coloring it, it was hard because it was hard staying in the lines and when I planned it, i made a lot of mistakes.

The easiest thing for me was drawing the kuro and going over it with a sharpie because once I had my plan I'm good at drawing kuro and going over with the sharpie was even easier.

What I'm proud of

I'm proud of the way it turned out in the end because the background and kuro went together very well.

Who created the Olympic values and why ?why?

Pierre de Coubertin was the man that made the Olympic values. He made the Olympic values because he wanted the Olympians to pursue excellence, enjoy the effort, have balanced minds, bodies and character, show fair play and respect others.

Here is Pierre de Coubertin.

Our design project was to make a rap that explained the Olympic values.Here is our Olympic rap based on the Olympic values

The Olympic Rap

Sameer: The Olympic values, they have their pride, 

Sameer: they are dancing with joy, oh! Just nevermind. 

Jeevanjot: And don't forget the fair play, ya know, it's so awesome, LET'S GO!Jeevanjot: The respect for others is overwhelming, 

Sameer: I don't know what to say, maybe just don't give me a pounding?Jeevanjot: The positive is pretty good cause I know I'm rocking up that neighbourhood. 

Jeevanjot: Last but not least you gotta take it in and balance it out, 

Sameer: your mind and body needs to work if you want to do 

All: THE AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!

How We Made Our Olympic Rap          

What We Needed:

GarageBand (IPad App)

Collaboration Muscle

Google Docs/Paper

Words for rap

Growth mindset

--------------------------------------------         

Procedure of how we made our rap

First create the words that you will use in your rap. 

Then use GarageBand to make the best music that fits your words. 

Also,record your music. And your voice. Then put your voice and the music together.  

After go save it and then you should be done! 

Present the rap to your friends and family.

Here’s our rap in Audio Only

           Rap.

----------------------------------------------

                  \Reflection/            ----------------------------------------------

Jeevanjot:I had a great time making our rap I was mostly on task I got distracted sometimes Cruze was not really doing any work but sameer was on task,I got back into to doing making our rap in the end we had to make a few changes and then we were done.

Sameer: It was a interesting and fun time to work with Jeevanjot and Cruze they both worked collaboratively with me. The most hardest thing for me was when we had to edit our rap and words so many times but at the end we were able to finish it. 

Cruze: When we started to create the rap I knew it would be a hard task, I never thought we would get this far. The hardest thing for me was finding the person who created the Olympic values

And the music for the rap was hard as well as creating the words.
