WALT: Make things from wood

For Technology I have chosen to make a Piano for myself. I think this is the best choice because you can keep your money and valuables inside. The piano will be used to hide money, passport, Jewelry and more, this will go in my room on the drawers. For this project I will have to consider how the income is gonna turn out and how safe it is to put my stuff in there. 

I am almost done making the Piano. My next steps are to finish the top of it and also blog about how I did it, How I like it and how I can improve. So far it looks good but I still wish to improve it making the joint better because while I was making the joint I didn't notice that the Wood was crooked so I was digging it to far from the gauge but luckily Mr Grundy said it was alright, so I was honestly saved.  

When my name was called I put my hand up and he just took it away, he went over the yellow line so I wasn't able to go past but I remembered that I was always supposed to follow him so I just stayed behind the yellow line. When he took the Piano he sanded it so it was smoother than before which I loved. After that he measured it with a steel ruler and measured how long and big the top is going to be, after he found the measurements he used mbf and make the top of it and used wood to make the inside of the top bit. He took the piano and the top bit make to my working area and glued it together, and now I have to wait 30 minutes or more.

And last of all it talks about how to have a smart relationship with people who you haven't seen in your life, and how sometimes you can't trust them... But it's not always like that, you can trust some people online because personally i've been friends with a person for almost 5 months and in that times I honestly really do trust her, she is amazing even though she might be a man with a voice changer BUT!

WALT: Write a story in a time frame 

It was a normal day at school where all we learnt today was math, I was super bored so I decided to not go class and to skip. Hi my name is Lucy and this is my world. I went home and climbed up the tree to get to my room. 

I opened up my window which was fully opened. And climbed in and jumped onto my bed, and wondered. “I wish I could just have my own world-” A thought just went through my brain “Maybe just maybe I can create my own world, a world where you don’t have to be a human, it could be a place where everyone can get together!” I jumped onto my computer and started to create my own world. “I’m so lucky I paid attention in technology!” I put on the VR and dived in. 

I could see the world  between my hands, I grabbed the scissors “Goodbye boring old world!” I built my own lobby where anyone in the world with a VR could come a play! There were easter eggs (The game glitches easter eggs) Challenges, shops and more this was a game well lobby for everyone to play! I was so proud of myself who knew a week later I would be already done with the game. I went out of my way to make a trailer for the game I was so excited! I just couldn’t wait for everyone to play my game! 

It released the game to the public, and I can’t believe it went viral

Animal Town

Animal Town

WALT: Write a story in a time frame 

For this task we had been given a topic and we had to write about it, and this topic was Animal Town. We had 10 minutes to write as much as we could before the time ends!

I was only 10 years old and already playing video games, my favourite game had to be Animal town because I like to enjoy all the animals who are around and pet them. My name is Jordan, and i’m going to tell you about my experience (2 weeks ago)  It was a normal day which the sun was shiny and the bird were chirping, I decide to play a play called Animal Town it was released just a couple of days ago an I was already existed to play! I grabbed my controller, downloaded the game and waited. 

After a while the game has finally downloaded, I just couldn’t wait to play! I opened up the game but nothing happened, like it was glitching? But then the screen turned red and it had the opinions, “New game, Load game, and Extreme” I was confused at first because i’ve ever heard of “Extreme mode” In the trailer. I wondered for a while but I click it. The screen turned black again, It took longer to load- Wait I could see something fading in, all I could read was “ Extreme mode picked, get ready for an adventure” The screen started to turn a bunch of different colors, so I grabbed my controller *Gasp* I gasped and screamed, My hand is fading away into the game, I couldn’t believe my eyes, I tried to wake up but I couldn’t, I ended up passing out. 

I woke up on the streets I thought to myself, “Could I be in the game” The first thing I saw was animal everywhere I couldn’t even bear the chance that I was in the game. “WHAT KIND OF GAME IS THIS??!” Jordan said. I stood up to see animals all around “W-where am I?” I mumbled, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I started to walk around seeing if I knew where I-

And that's where the time stopped.

IALT: Write a Story

The Living Curse

The sun rises showing it’s beautiful colour while the birds sang away peaceful. “Get up guys! It’s moving day!” Said mum.o

“Do we have too?” Said Beth

“Yes you do, come on and get up. Now go get your baby brother.”

“Fine” 

Beth walked to her brothers room and picked him up and took him to the kitchen. “I got him mum” Said Beth “Thank you dear” Mum replied. 

“Daad Lucas it’s pulling my hair again” 

“Oh come on Beth, he’s only a little baby” 

“STILL IT HURT!”

“Grow up. ANYWAYS we need to go pack up, we are moving remember?” 

They finished packing and was now on there way to their new house!

*Beth’s thinking* 

“Who knew it was so beautiful out here! The ocean’s are clear blue and everything seems too perfect to be true. I just can’t wait to see the house.”

Straight after beth through everything could be so perfect the baby started to get car sick and threw up. 

“LIAM THE BABY THREW UP IN THE CAR!” Yelled mum.

“STOP THE CAR DAD.” Yelled Beth.

“Calm down I will.” Said Dad

“EWW I GOT SOME ON ME!” Cried Beth

They wiped up the mess and drove to the house. They arrived at the house was it was ran now like no one has lived in it for 10 years “Maybe it’s better in the inside” Said Mum “I hope so” Said Beth. They slowly opened the door listening to the door creek wide open, it was seriously nice inside like a normal modern house. Beth ran upstairs and claim the 2nd biggest room in the house, she was so happy but disappointed because of the outside of the house.

*I comes to night*

“Beth come down stairs for dinner and bring you baby brother.” Said Dad

“Finally dinner, I am starving!”

“Good night, love you” Mum and Dad said.

Beth suddenly felt a soft hand running down her shoulder, she woke up straight away and looked behind her to find nothing there, she blew it off thinking it was the wind and fell back to sleep to only feel the “Hand” running down her shoulder again. Beth opened her eyes and looked at the windows to see if they were opened but to her surprise the windows were closed. She starting to get scared so she decided to leave her eyes just a little bit open to see if it really was something touching her. She screamed and run out of the room, she couldn’t believe what she saw, she woke up her mum and dad and told them what happened. Beth told him that she saw a tall man, but it wasn’t at the same time, it had grey skin and black holes for eyes, the noise it made when I saw it terrified me, at that point I knew it wasn’t human so I run out. Her Dad went into her room and looked around seeing nothing but boxes and her bed, he even looked under the bed and in the closet and still found nothing. Her Mum and Dad told her to go back to sleep because it was probably nothing. Beth climbed back in bed and tried to go sleep but she just couldn’t, all she could think about what that thing, beth keeped looking at the windows making sure nothing was watching her, before she knew it she was sleeping.

The next day beth started to feel sick so she decides to take a nice warm bath.  As she was taking a bath, she found a bruise on her arm and leg, not knowing where it came from.

“MUUUUM!!” Beth Screamed.

*Mum came rushing to the bathroom*

“What’s the matter hun?”

“I got this bruise on my arm and leg!”

“Okay once you are done with your bath you can tell me about how you got it.” 

“But-” 

*Mum walks out of the Bathroom*

As Beth got out of the bathtub she heard a weird noise coming from outside,  Beth didn’t think anything of it and just blew it off as a cat outside meowing.  She grabbed a towel and dried herself off and walked to her room to get changed into some new clothes, as she walked through the hallway it started to get colder and colder the more she walked towards her room. The door creaked open while blasting cold air into her face. Beth looked around the room to see if the windows were open, and they were! It felt like something off a horror movie. Beth shut the windows and hear a faint whisper saying “YoU lOcKeD mE IN” Chills went down my spine and my mouth became wide. Beth ran as fast as she can out of the room but the door shut, beth tried her hardest to open it but it seems to be locked from the outside. All that she could hear were screams and whispers all around the room! Her eyes started to tear up leaving her scared on the ground crying begging for it to stop…. She fell asleep. Beth woke up not being able to see anything because it was all so blurry, all she could see was a figure of a man standing on top of me, Beth quickly closed her eyes praying to god it will go away, she opened her eyes again to see nothing. She ran out of the room and went to the living room to watch some tv so she could forget what happened that day.  As she was watching Tv she heard a bang from the window beside her, she screamed in shock. She looked out the window to see if there were any kids around trying to pull a funny prank but unfortunately she didn’t find anything or anyone, as she continued watching tv she heard another bang on the window, she looked at the window and still nothing was there but as she went to go look at the tv it was sattick, she started to get scared so she started to walk up the stairs hearing footsteps and baby laughs all around the house. As she kept walking she felt like the floor was going to break because of the creaking. It was so loud… Too loud… She couldn’t hear anything but the screams and cries for help and knocking on every window she was near, she heart was racing and her voice was crippled and her eyes wide. Voices filled her head, telling her to do horrible things! She gave up and stopped.  

Beth Thinking

“It felt cold…. I-i can’t feel my body- WAIT! Where am I? I-i h-haven’t seen this place before.”

Beth looks around

“Its red, but the last thing I remember is being on the couch and…” 

*Beth cries*

I gave up, t-the demon is in control now… He’s in control, how… HOW did this happen!? I need to get out of here, but how do I escape my own body.”

Beth started to walk around but nothing would change, she was still in the same place as it was a loop… She stopped and looked afar.

“Who is that?”

Beth continued to walk together the mysterious person, but she realized it wasn’t a man or lady. It was grey and had black dots of eyes- “Wait! It can’t be, i-it’s the monster! The one that was in my bedroom!” 

Beth ran as fast as she can trying not to be a noise and attract that attention. She ran and ran but it looked like she wasn’t going anywhere at all, the creature looked back and started walking towards her, she froze in shock, she tried to run but she couldn’t, her eyes were locked in with it, she couldn’t take her eyes off how horrible and ugly it was. But then she noticed something, there was blood on its hand and leg. Her heart started racing, all she could think about was “Who was that blood from?”  She broke out of her frozen state and ran. It became dark, and that thing or whatever it was started to glow but glow black, Beth was confused on how that was possible, to glow so brightly even though everything was so dark… It transformed into something unspeakable, it had spikes covering its body with a long tail, it’s teeth were sharper than a knife and its eyes grew bigger well he didn’t have eyes just big black holes, he ran fast like the speed of lighting, I could just see when he went past me- Beth fell on her knees, her face was cut up and 1 of her fingers were missing, she lay flat on the ground as the monster stared at her, he went for the final blow and she was gone.

Beth woke up from that dream crying, rubbing her hands against her face trying to look for the cuts, she realized that it was a dream a crazy dream, but it felt so real… Too real, she got up and went to her mum and started to talk about what happened, as they were talking beth saw something from the corner of her eye, a grey man with big black holes for eyes and sharp teeth.  Beth couldn’t believe her eyes, didn’t didn’t even want to look and see if it was actually the monster from the “Dream” So she Ran…. While at least she tried to run but she fell face first on the ground, her fear took over her body and she just screamed… Her mum grabbed a bat and then looked for Beth. Beth ran into the closet and 

Body image

Body Image 

WALT:Respect our body

Your body image is people’s perception of your aesthetic or attractiveness towards their own body shape. 

 Most of the time when people don’t like they’re body they take disliking their body shape really seriously, for example, Heavy dieting and working out to your breaking point. If you work out without any breaks you can get to a point where you need to be hospitalised but the worst thing people could possibly do is starving themselves with a very high chance of even dying because of it! Or get a disorder called Anorexia, which most happens to young people around the world usually around the time when they are going through changes which is called Puberty.

Anorexia means lack of eating or loss of appetite. Anorexia is an emotional disorders Characterized by obsessing the desire to lose weight or by wanting to change your body image. Anorexia is a very serious thing which can cause death if isn’t helped properly, even if they try to eat they really can’t, so they have to force it down. 

Moral of the story is, you don’t need to change your body shape unless it’s getting unhealthy for you so you have to change. But changing your body for the approval of others is absurd! You don’t need to change yourself for others just be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else.

WALT:Make things out of wood

For Technology I have chosen to make a Piano for myself. I think this is the best choice because you can keep your money and valuables inside. The piano will be used to hide money, passport, Jewelry and more, this will go in my room on the drawers. For this project I will have to consider how the income is gonna turn out and how safe it is to put my stuff in there. 

While making the Piano i Used the Steel ruler to make a full size drawing of my Piano so I know what it's going to turn out like. After that I used a Tri square to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the wood, and once i've done that I maked a square line (At 90) across and using a pencil to mark it off.  After that I cut off the first piece of wood using a Backed saw and then I marked out the where the joint was gonna be once again using the steel ruler and the trip - Square. And once I drew the joint on the wood I ask the teacher to put a Gauge where the joint was and then cut it with a Back Saw and then I used a Chisel to make the joint. Once i've done that I made cute the 70 piece woods and then added the bottom bit by using the glue, rubber bands and a Backed Saw. After that I got the teacher help and he made the back part of the Piano and the front of it!
