ASTRIA GAME

Astria Game
WALT: Find and investigate the text/game.

Today in class we are going to be doing a game called Astria. We are going to be the first people to play and it was created by Auckland University. 

We were in buddies and I was with Aletheia. We were given a slip which had a game name which was Explorer and the code. We clicked the link and waited for it to load. It took quite a long time, to load but after it finished loaded the first thing I saw was the background. It had 3 planets with lots of stars. After that we added in our codes and name. We started off with some examples I am guessing because I didn't really know what was the purpose of it, but after that we went to the watchtower.

It was fun but we had to do lot of reading. And when we had to find the clues, it really made me and my partner think. When we found out we had to make a new game, we were worried we weren't going to finish the game. With some help from the teachers, we got back we were left off. It was day 80 something. We were almost finish, only 2 more to go. We realized that in each room there are 2 text. We went through all of them and finally we got it! We were done. We finally went to the council.

We went to the council and add to present which one we were going to use. We ended up using the Sail to destroy the astrorad other than the nuke. We ended up killing no one, but if we were to do the nuke it would've kill multiple lifes. 


The Moment... Hailstones.

Hailstones

The Ice fell from the heaven,
Shattering like glass.
Heavily hitting the roof,
while making a loud bang. 
It came to a pause,
As the rain fell now.
'BOOM! CRASH'
The lion has awaken,
'BANG! TAP' 
We jumped in fear. 
The Hail came back, as the lion
was roaring. 
RIPPLE, CRACK!
It all came to a stop.
all that was left was the 
rain falling now, 
it looked like some frozen peas
has fallen on the ground.

Critical analysis of still images

Critical Analysis Of Still Images
WALT: Critically Analyse Still Images

Today we are going to be using our analysis skill to Critically analyse still images.

We are going to be answering question about this photo, for example, what's the message in this image? Now that I gave you an idea, lets start all the questions.


Who took the photo?
I believe it is a person who is taking a photo of their everyday life, or I think it is a tourist taking pictures of what the city looks like, and what people do their, kind of like a Photographer. A Photographer is someone who takes picture in exchange for money, mostly if they are a professional.

How Is The Subject Represent In The Photo?
I think it is about pollution. I think it is about pollution because as you can see a little boy is jumping off rubbish into another pile of rubbish. And if you look at the background you can see dirty building with smoke and more rubbish all over the country or city.

How Do Different Parts Of The Image Contribute To The Message?
Well because their are probably thousand of pieces of rubbish, and gas or smoke. Mostly because of the kid playing in the rubbish. I think that he thinks that it's a playground but people he has been living in a polluted place he is used to it because he has lived their his whole life.

What If The Image Was Cropped?
Well if it was cropped i'd think they would crop out the whole thing, 'You know why?' Well because If they would to crop our everything but the boy and added a playground. it would look like a boy just playing on a playground instead of rubbish, but only if they did a good job.

Who Might The Intended Audience Be?
Other little kids because it's a playground where they play?? (Sorry I am Confused By This Question)

How Might Different Groups Of People Responded To The Image?
I think their response would be like this. "Aww, poor kid. Wow look at all the rubbish. How could they live like that? Why does he look so happy playing on rubbish?"

Maths
WALT: Add And Subtract Decimals.
SC: I Am Able To Add Decimals
SC: I Can Subtract Decimals

Image result for MathsToday for maths we are going to be doing maths. I grabbed my book and a pencil. I saw that my math sheet wasn't in my maths book so I looked in my locker, as I was looking for my sheet of paper, Kensington took my pencil. I look back to see Kensington look at me weirdly, I was confused at first but then I saw that my pencil was gone. I Went to my locked and grabbed my pen. I still couldn't find my sheet until I saw a maths sheet, I said oh it's mine without looking at the paper, and it was mine.

I looked at the math sheet paper and got confused on the math question I was on, I asked Fa'afiu and she told me what I had to do. I did half until she said she was going to help me. What we have to do is that there is a Letter next to the question we add the answer the question and find the answer to the question. Once we've found it we had to put the letter that was next to it on top of the number. 

Carra just catched up to us and we did the question together, we do one each and if we get struck if have to help them but not do it for them, then they wouldn't learn anything. But I would improve on in maths is to learn to times decimal which is the next step, and what i've enjoyed about math is working together as a team to solve questions.

Phones - Technology

Phones - Technology
WALA: Our Technological World

Image result for Future phonesPhones In The Future
Now days phones have changed so much from past to future. Social media’s was used by so many, whether young or old..  The future phones would be so different and would be so expensive or in high quality. Phones would be in long battery, it would last for weeks till to charge(imagine that!) also you wouldn't need any power port or outlets to charge, in the future you will use plug wireless charging port for phone and u can be a distance away from the wireless charger, also in any object or stuff your phone will charge (how crazy is that!) Phones will have foldable screens, if you want to stretch out the screen then u can now. For phones screens would be 3D Holographic(WOW!)Phones would be so indestructible phone. You can also use indoor gps(Amazing!) You will have 2 sim cards for your phone. No phone numbers, Wow! I can’t wait for the future.
Phone In The Past
Image result for Old phonesBrick phones to phones with a front camera, Technology has really changed over time. Back in the old days there used to be brick phones, they didn’t have games on it or snapchat, facebook or any social media we have now-a-days. They only had numbers to call people with. Rotary dial or rotary telephone was the oldest phones ever create. The creator of the first telephone was Alexander graham bell, and hes quote is. “When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us”
How Has Technology Changed Our Lives
Image result for People with phonesTechnology has come a long way. Brick phones to Iphone xs plus with amazing quality, technology has really changed! Now how do they affect on how we live? Well it helps with our spelling our punctuation and more. It also helps us develop our researching skill and gain new knowledge! It helps answer questions, and others.

WALT: Add And Subtract Decimals.

Today for maths we are finishing off our maths sheet, which is adding and subtracting decimals. I am on activity 3, and most of that side is subtracting because of the other side is all addition. 
I am working on Part 6 of activity 3. It was hard because it was really confusing but my classmates helped me out now I think I got this.

It was easy on some part but hard on others. Next time I would like to try and do time tables instead of adding and subtracting decimals. Thank you to Carra, Akih, Fa'afiu for helping me with my work, that is showing manaakitanga and ako.  Here is one of the question we had to do. 
28.4 + 26.8=55.2 because 4+8=12 then add the 10 tenths to the 8 one with makes it 9 ones and leave the 2 in the tenth spot. Now add the 8 and the 6 which makes 15 add the 1 to the 2 and leave the 5. Now do 3+2 which is 5. So the answer is 55.2

WALT: Have An Opinion 

Bristol, 2011
We are learning about should we give pest more respect or should we get rid of pests, such as cats possum and other predators? The reason they want to get rid of pest/predators is because they are killing our native animals and environment. Here is my opinion.

disagree and agree because at the same time cats help us. For example, the cats kill mice which, mice are also predators. But I agree that when animals are hungry, that they would have to hunt for food which is killing our native animals. But I don't know if spiders are predators mostly because spiders eat pest, like  Earwigs, Roaches and other pest. 
Image result for Wren
New Zealand is known for there native animals and environment, I can see why they would want all the predators out of New Zealand. Dr Jane Goodall has agreed with keeping the predators or pest in New Zealand because she believes that we should show kindness to all animals. If you didn't know pigs are way smarter than dogs and cats, but we are killing them? I think all animals should have equal rights.
