Toki 2019 film feasterville

in general this experience was ok

 if i got to  be completely honest all the videos were a little sloppy and the audio was not all that great
and the preparation for making videos was rather rushed. i wasn't all that entertained maybe it is just
me but the topic "west coast our place' was in my opinion neglected the topic was not interesting at all fun so maybe be more fun per say with the topics and more pacific rather than broad. the break in the middle could be extended maybe enough for us to eat a snack and stretch a little AND TOO MUCH SITTING

yesterday we baked a whole lotta junk food for maths using MEASUREMENT yey - measurement like (Kg, g, t) however we only used cup Tablespoons and teaspoons for measurements when we were baking. we were divided into teams (we chose teams our self) jess quinn and me we were to make weet-bix slice. we began by pouring flour in our bowel the flour had a rip in the side of the bag so we made the rip bigger then we realized how dogey that would be for there was another hole in the same side but it was a lot smaller  regardless we continued and sacked the bag around aboth the bowel, over the bowel there was a cup we made a mess after mixing all the ingredient we put them in the oven and made the icing and then ate the slice

pet day

On thursday day october 24 th at exactly 11:30 a.m. pet day opened the day was to go like this extremely crowded scavenger hunt , reads to my pet rock ( i read to quinns chicken )  and then knight the mear peasant animals with plastic medals  to reward them from surviving torture of the daunting thirst of the animal craving children.  yeah nah the day was a lot more normal the amount of participants for pet day was a small number of 7 brave animals 3 bunnies 1 cat 2 dogs and 1 chicken. my companion was shared among many different people i choose the unfortunate chicken. we had to read to an animal i didn't bring one ( apparently ) little do they know my pet rock was there the entire time staring at the sky sitting beside many birds he was merely peeping out from the ground ( it didn't exist ) 

anyway that was pet day ....

St Johns first aid workshop

St Johns first aid workshop
today same first aid specialist came to school and talked to us about first aid only the beginnings of basic first aid
the person that came to talk to us explained what the short word for doctor is D R S A B C D what means

Danger : ensure safety of yourself others and the patient

Response : check for response "can you hear me ?"

Send for help : if on response call and emergency number 
(111) 
Airway : tilt the head back and lift the chin

Breathing : look and listen for breathing
 
that's as far as we were allowed to go
then we got to test it in pears jess and i teamed up
i were to be a floppy unconscious half dead person so jess can poison me again with random plants 
JK ( nearly poisoned me ) then she was to check all of D R S B C D she forgot to do a lot of things and failed a lot then it was to be jess's turn to be a floppy fish suffocating on her tongue i didn't mess up at all..... JESS... than then we moved onto wrapping rubish up AKA JESS arm..... well actually my arm got wraped by her first but she failed a lot ... JESS.... anyways i wrapped her arm perfectly NO MISTAKES then we were told to get into groups of 3 ( me jess zac ) and then she went onto saying most of us know what a first aid kit is ( we all agreed ) but then suddenly the glowing sun shined down on her as she tburst the truth and talks for a long time .... we got into groups ( me zac and jess won with harry's group )  with 16 points in our paper we were ready to take them on..... Poooooof THE INSTRUCTOR COULD OF TOLD US THAT IS WAS NOT A CHALLENGE

coordinates and map-work blog post

warning cheesy ending 


lately in class we have being learning about coordinates and map-work, as well as compass work
like how many directions in a compass easy 16 of them. north,north-northeast,northeast,east-northeast,east,east-southeast, so on or how to navigate a map like rotating the map to the direction you going this way you have a working compass and so much more i remember drawing maps for the upcoming treasure hunt. or a extremely detailed floor plan for the school

but out of all of them i liked the treasure hunt i was not doing it because i helped set it up but it was fun helping other people find the treasure as well as tagging along with eating the chocolate prize at the end yes that was a good day for everyone

all and all i say if i got lost in the bush with only a compass im getting out there or if i got gavin a page full a coordinates i'm gonna find that prize at the end

but seriale i think i've succeeded in completing my job as a student and participating in every choice  giving to me and every good chance to learn some valuable lesson for my future i can say i understand how to read coordinates and map-work now and im proud of that effort

paper planes

at school yesterday we had a paper plane challenge (who can fly there plane the longest)

what makes a good paper plane- a paper plane should be stable and able to fly long distances and have a strong tip so it doesn't get munted and a fast flyer,

what we learned about making paper planes, i learned that the better the plane the longer it will fly and the better folded the longer its gonna last and the more aerodynamic it is the faster it gonna go 

here is a chart showing the results  as you can see jono came 1st stella 2ed and jess 3rd  and i'm not on here cause i was not at school
