Reading groups

Hello people of the world todays blog post will be about my reading group so far.
The book I was chosen to read was called 'The Silver Sword' and so far it has been really good. Everyone has been contributing well.
One think I can do to help with my group is to stop them from being silly and contribute more of my ideas.
That's all for now folks. Bye!

Medieval stuff

Welcometh backeth readeth'rs. Lasteth week wast medieval week f'r mine own syndicate. ev'ryone in mine own class wast did split into groups of 4 and each of those folk hadst their owneth topics to maketh their activities bas'd off. Mine own group has't chosen medieval sicknesses as our topic.

Ehem, ehem! Sorry if you could not understand my amazing medieval talk back there. Anyway I've come here to talk about the activities on medieval week.

I think that our medieval lesson was actually pretty good apart from some facts we forgot to put in for our quiz. Our teamwork skill went well because we were always filling in for each other when we forgot what to say or our words got jumbled. Another thing that went well was when it was time to construct our power point most of my group pulled together and got the job done.

I also think that we could have worked better as a team when we first started. Our group basically had two different ideas and weren't sharing ideas any more but we eventually worked it out.

I enjoyed all of the other groups activities but the one that was my favourite was probably the merchant group. They taught us all about being a merchant and also set up a really fun trading game where you had to try to end up with the most money.

That's it for now guys. Thanks for reading and see you next time!

Kapa Haka

Kia ora readers! Welcome back to my  blog.

A few weeks ago our  syndicate has started to do Kapa Haka. This is where we do traditional Maori dances and so far I am finding it quite enjoyable. I feel as thought I'm participating well and I'm trying to do the moves as properly as I can. So far in Kapa Haka I have been finding  it quite easy to copy what the leaders are telling us to do so it it just a matter of memorising the moves a bit better myself. I think one way of improving my performance during Kapa Haka is to try hard do the moves in time with the music and listen carefully while the leaders are explaining what to do. Overall I think that Kapa Haka is fun and enjoyable and is definitely worth the time.

Hey

Thanks for reading folks! I hope you liked my review on Kapa Haka and see you next time! O.K maybe not 'see' but you get what I mean. HAHA! LOL! Now eye (see what eye did there!) can see you through these eyes!

NOW I'll see you next time. Bye!

Coding at Electives

So far this term coding has been really fun. We have been using Hopscotch to learn how to construct simple games such as our own versions of Crossy Road and Geometry Dash.

At times I have found coding challenging and difficult but it was still fun learning from what I did wrong and customising my game.

Right now to make the most of my learning I am planning to download the Hopscotch app and try to make more games.

Overall coding has been better than I had expected I have learned the basics of coding and now can code in my own time. It has also taught me a lot more about coding than I did .

I think coding is really fun and if you're thinking about trying it you should definitely give it a go. Well that's it for now. Thanks' for reading. Till next time, over and out.

Castle Building

HEY GUYS! I'm back for another blog post and this time it will be about our castle building experience now that our castles are now built.

My group actually had quite a few problems while constructing our "masterpiece." At times each of us had our own other thing to do which slowed us down.

Our team work at the start was actually pretty good but started to lessen up by quite a bit later on the week. I think it was partially because that some of us were getting busy and had to get all their  other work done. One god thing was that we were one of the first groups to think of their idea first so that we could get started quickly. The way we did this was basically we took turns in making ideas and if we liked them we would stick to them.

We resolved these problems by just keeping our head in the game and moving forward even though sometimes it was really annoying to keep on going.

So that's it for now guy's! Thank's for reading and see you next time on "Joshua's Blog"

Cross Country

READY....................GET SET.................GO!

Last week our school had done our annual cross country and you're probably wondering what place I came in. Well I actually that question can not be answered due to me still being sick when I came back to school. Because of this I was turned into a marshal and I'm not saying I was turned into a guy called Marshal I'm talking about a guy who shows people where to go but there is a good side to this. I got to get better information for my blog. YAY! So now it is time for the main part of this blog post. It's time to reveal some of the people who showed epic values during the race.

PERSEVERANCE: I saw Aidan and Billy showing this value showing this value when they kept going even though they were really tired.

EMPATHY: I saw Caitlin showing empathy to Elyse when she was finding it really hard to keep on going.

So those are the values we were told to write about. Thanks for reading. Now if you excuse me I must make my way! 

Mr Bean

Hey Guys! The movie is just about to start! Please mute all electrical devices. Now sit back relax and enjoy the show!

So............ I'm pretty sure most of you have seen the movie; Mr Beans' Holiday. Yea the one where Mr Bean wins a holiday to Cannes. For those of you who don't know this is a brief summary; Mr bean wins a holiday to Cannes, France and goes their by train. He gets off and eats some seafood and gets on a different train but accidentally makes a father late for the same train. Mr bean helps the little boy who's father had been left behind. On the way they get separated and Mr Bean meets a woman who happens to also be heading to Cannes. The two eventually meet again and they continue on their way to Cannes. Their they meet the boys father and the movie ends with everyone singing in French.
I like this movie because it is very entertaining and funny. I has a good plot and it would be great to watch with the whole family.
So yea. That's pretty much an accurate summary for the movie for you. But what do I rate it you may ask?

 

I RATE IT ..............(DRUM ROLL PLEASE!) 4 stars!!!!!!!!!1

So that's is for now folks! I hope you enjoyed the show and see you next time!
