Robotics Rōpu

Task Description: Dear readers a few month ago I had posted something about helping our earth with the help of a few students and 2 Fisher & Paykel healthcares eningeers to help our Recycling Bincurity team compress soft plastic. Here are what we have been doing the lunch times we have gotten really far with this and I think we can actually do this.

Sign Language

Walt: Learning something new. 
Task Description: This year at lunch time we were really bored so my friend Tha-zin started teaching us Sign Language. I liked the idea of learning something new and I really hope we can learn some more. The hardest thing I found was making sure you did made the signs with your hand right because it might mean something else but my favourite thing about this was learning a few things about sign language so you know how to communicate with deaf people in the future or present. Do you know anything about sign langauge?

Mini light houses

Task Description: I have made this presentations because we have been doing some pretty cool things this year in Makerspace and I post my animations which I make in creative space so what about Makespace. This year we have been printing our very own mini housesn we designed the  small houses using tinkercad then we put L.E.D light in and lighting it up with watch batteries. My favourite part of this was seeing what Pla works best on the printer. I used clear pla for my house  my house had to be printed twice and because something happened we haven't quite figured out what it was but yeah the second time it was perfect.

Cave Art

Walt: Tell a story that you wrote through an animation using hyperstudio.

Once not long ago there lived a tribe. They ate berries and fish this tribe like to preserve there animas. But over time it got harder to find berries and their supplies didn’t last long. When the last of the berries were finished the tribe went and hunted for more berries. They came across a berry patch but it was guarded by 2 fierce crocodile. The tribe charged at animals while some of them got some berries they decided to spare the animals life because they were happy to have more berries. They returned to their cave and had a celebration the End!

Task Description: Here is my task description I worked pretty hard on this movie it may not look like it but yeah I did work hard on it. I wrote the voice over using the story the pictures show and below the presentation I have the script I used for the voice over because the voice over wasn't very clear. I drew the pictures with hyperstudio and put it into Imovie to make it and actual movie. Along the way I did have to keep in mind that this is a cave art and they didn't have paint brushes and things like that back then and I tried to make the picture look like I make them using my figure ENJOY!

Haunted Hazard

Walt: Get excited to about year 6 camp

It was the day me and my friends were going to see Kawau Island and it’s wonderful inhabitants, so was all the year 6’s for 2018 at Pt England school. But nothing is as is seems at Kawau Island Four campers from the group will find a dark side of this Mysterious Island. Will they survive this Crazy Camp?

“Yay! I can’t wait to arrive at camp” I exclaimed not knowing what was waiting for us on the Island “I know right” Jedida replied as she pulled her suitcase onto the ferry. They found to seats next to Tha-zin and Roshaan “ Hey Tha-zin I heard the Mansion on Kawau Island is Haunted by the ghost of Governor Hobson” Roshaan said as she saw Jedida and Zaeeda sit down “maybe we invite the ghost to have candy with us at night when everyone's asleep” Zaeeda said pulling a block of cadbury M&M chocolates from her bag. They ferry stopped and they walked onto the docks of Kawau island, “Okay team quite down” said 2 loud and clear voices from in front of us. “Welcome to Kawau Island at this camp we will be doing team building activities this may be hard but I don’t want any complaining and in case you didn’t know my name is Erin” said the tall figure standing in front of us “ and my name is Peter but now we are going to hike up killer hill so get ready” He said grinning. “ I am so excited” I whisper jedida as we start walking in a line “Me too” she whispers back.

Once we finished hiking and spent the rest of the day doing fun activities but nightfall came and we were exhausted. “Today's activities were so much fun”  Tha-zin says as Me and her walk back to our cabin “yeah fun right’’ I say sarcastically “ I am exhausted” I say back to her.  They walked into the cabin and I pulled out my block of chocolate ready for a midnight feast “YEAH” they all shierked together “SSSSHHHHH” I hissed “remember Mr Somerville's talk about 10% of the candy” Roshaan whispers Quietly.  The Next day they had did kayaking, hiking ,swimming and heaps of other cool activities with Peter and Erin. “I really wish we could do today over again it was so much fun” Jedida said to Roshaan and I  walked to lunch together “yeah it was so much fun but did you notice the teachers are acting weird today” I  said looking over her behind her and seeing Miss Parrant half asleep and Mr Goodwin with his eighth cup of coffee “I agree” Roshaan replied “ let’s ask them why they are so jumpy and asleep today” Jedida suggested “ok” Me and Roshaan replied together.

After lunch they walked up to Mr Goodwin who was sitting on a standing up talking to some boys about fortnite, Once he finished I decided to try and be polite and ask “ Mr Goodwin why are you and the other teachers so jumpy and half asleep today?” “ Me and the other teacher kept hearing noises in the Mansion it kept us awake all night” He replied then going back to the topic of fortnite with the boys. The girls walked away in silence and in deep thought “Maybe it was the ghost of Governor Hobson” Jedida joked “Actually you might be right” Zaeeda exclaimed.

That evening Zaeeda and Tha-zin walked into there cabin together only to find Jedida and Roshaan giggling and chatting in the corner “What’s up”? I asked suspiciously “you know how we were talking about the inviting the ghost of Governor Hobson to eat candy well” Jedida says allowing me and Tha-zin to build up some suspense Roshaan continued “ We did some research and found out that Governor Hobson isn’t dead yet he’s but he did go last week” Roshaan said mysteriously “ OOOOHhhhh I get it  now, you guys want to go and find out why there is a ghost roaming the mansion” Tha-zin says brightly with wide eyes “good Idea I want In” Me and Tha-zin literally yelled they both agreed and found jobs to do. It was 10:00 pm and Jedida was sitting on a tree branch Roshaan was sneaking to the front door of the mansion. Tha-zin was sitting on the roof of the cabin keeping an eye out for any campers our teacher about to bust us and I was sittin inside the cabin looking through binoculars giving instructions on the plan and  eating more M&M chocolate. Roshaan snuck into the Mansion and unlocked the door for back door for Jedida they snuck into they waited for 2 hours straight, when the clock struck twelve a tall pale figure came out of a from a secret cupboard that faded away into the walls of the mansion. 



The figure walked towards the kitchen and grabbed out a really big knife the light of the kitchen was on and the only thing visible to the girls was his shadow and some type of thick liquid type of juice that bounced everywhere when he brought the knife down.  The girl screamed in horror so I sent Tha-zin over to see if they were alright “Tha-zin Tha-zin please come in we need you to report to Haunted scene (Mansion) ” I screeched as I took another bite of the delicious goodness into the walkie talkie “Roger that” a voice said. Tha-zin soon arrived at the scene and walked into the kitchen by accident and saw that the ghost was dicing a tomato “but why Tha-zin wondered. Roshaan noticed something weird on the ground we the ghost had been she crawled over to it and got a sample into to a bag she then alerted me and I was already on my way I had got a backup agent to stay at home base. I ran over there and when I arrived all my friend were hiding in the living room staring at the shadow in fascination, I looked at the sample of white powder Roshaan had collected I took one look at it and thanks to the baking lessons my mom had been giving me I immediately said “it’s flour you know the type you put in cakes and stuff” I said to the others.

 In horror Jedida yelled he’s on a move we followed him into a room where we heard shrieks, shrieks of Mr Goodwin they were of both laughter and fear. We peeked through the door and saw the ghost running around trying to scare Mr Goodwin but he is to intrigued in his game of fortnite he see the ghost and laughs but shrieked when he starts to lose in fortnite. “What should we do” Roshaan whispered desperately “I don’t know” Tha-zin replied “I know” a voice behind them said It was Amira and she was holding sponges and a bucket of water “Remember that time we threw sponges at our teacher for our writing  test well we could do the same to the ghost to get the flour of him and reveals the true identity of this so called ghost. We each took turns loading up our sponges and throwing them at the ghost it took some time but we finally got the flour off Governor Hobson.

It turned out he was sleepwalking and woke him up by throwing wet sponges at him he told us that had took a sleeping pill before cause he couldn’t fall asleep but it didn’t work for a while he  soon forgot about it and started baking a cake for his wife he was baking a cake for his wife when he fell asleep. “So that explains the flour” I say not very surprised “but what explains the sleep walking”? Roshaan stated “Hahaha I do that every night since I was a wee boy” The Governor replied with a cheesy grin “ok now I better get tidying up and you better get to back to your cabin and as for your teacher I will be turning off the mansions power no more fortnite for him” The Governor said will a sweet smile the girls giggled and returned to their cabin. “Wow we had such a crazy night” Amira exclaimed climbing back into bed “Amira you do know that it’s 4:00 am  and we better get up now” I says trying not to offend her “Dang it” Roshaan said standing back up “we should keep this on a down low” I say “I agree replied Jedida “okay come on we better head out” Tha-zin yauwned reaching for the door.

The rest of the day the girls we really tired and this time the teachers asked them why we were all half asleep. The day to return back to school came and we were cleaning out our cabin we walked into the cabin and saw on the wall by the window there was writing on it PLEASED\ TO HAUNT YOU! The girls looked at each other and where silent for quite a while. “Do you think it was for real”? Tha-zin asked me “probably not” I replied uncomfortably but in my head I knew that it probably was for real and one day it would return and not to Kawau Island but to Pt England School BUT THAT’S A STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY!

Task Description: For this task we got given three story startes and we had to come up with the rest of the story. This story was based on the camp the year 6's are going on soon. I enjoyed this task however I did consider not being in it and just talking to the character on a walkie talkie but I kinda would kinda be hard to see how my friends act when I am not around so yeah. Anyway I hope you enjoyed!

Sponge Throw

Walt: Sucsessfully write a recount.

Wow our teachers are pretty crazy, they had such an unbelievable activity ready for us. I for one think that Mr Goodwin might have had more than 1 cup of coffee this morning. It was around 10:00 am in the morning and me and my classmates were throwing sponges at our teacher. 

This Morning we weren’t as happy as usual because yes we had our writing test I was pretty nervous. But there was one good side to this we had to write about something and whatever it was we were doing it with our friends so we were gonna have fun. One of the first things we did was walk down to the bottom field were we saw Mr Jacobson and Mr Somerville waiting for us with buckets and sponges, I am gonna be honest I thought that we might be washing cars. Luckily the we were gonna be using them for something else something AWESOME.

We saw three chairs and also saw our teacher wearing swimming gear, a clear image of what was gonna happen appeared in my mind. Next we went got into 3 lines in front of three buckets 3 buckets for every class. We got explain what to do, which was kind of boring but it was quick, and soon we were throwing our sponges at our teachers crazy right. But the class that got their teacher the most wet got to tip the buckets of water on their teacher. I think that this was kind of weird but I was happy because we could finally get back at Mr Goodwin for telling us about fortnight and N.R.L during class.

When It was my turn I dunked my sponge in the bucket of water for a while so it would get nice and wet, but I missed sadly so instead I ringed the sponge out on his head instead yay go me.  Anyways the second time it was my turn I hit him in the arm which was good but compared to Loseti’s throw that hit Mr Goodwin in the face mine was nothing. Another time Chance hit him in the chest and Paschal’s throw wasn’t pleasant for Mr Goodwin either it was hilarious I was apart of the shrieks of laughter when that happened. I laughed so much my cheeks and my stomach hurt and we made a lot of punny puns and jokes it was so much FUN!

Once we finished we got to pick the three People who wet their teacher the most to tip the buckets of water on their teacher. We all the classes got to do it because we pretty much tied so we were all winners. I thought the our was the worst at throwing the water because Paschal's bucket fell on the grass so he just put all the bucket on Mr Goodwin Head. I found this really funny so did the other because that’s when everyone burst out in laughter.

Something else that I found funny was the today I wore a starfish sticker on my hand for no reason and then we played with water funny right. I couldn't believe the teacher let us do this and for not a really good reason and no pay back wow that was really something but the teacher did get us back when it rained at morning tea oh well it was still fun. It was quite weird and a real surprise!

I think that this was really fun and even more fun because we got to share it with our friends. I think that we should do this again hopefully Paschal’s throw won’t be that unpleasant next time. I definitely recommend this too you just make sure you have permission first and I can’t wait to do more things like this!

Task Description: A few days ago we had our writing test which wasn't very exciting. I was really nervous anyways here is the writing we did after we edited it and everthing. This task was not hard and really fun espacially we go to throw wet sponges at our teachers. There is a movie down below and I hope you enjoyed as much as I did and don't forget to leave me a comment THANKS!
