Snail race (maths probability)

Snail races probability game

the snail race is a probability where you have twelve snails and two dice. lets just say you roll a five and a two that makes a seven so snail number seven get to go up once. The worst snail you could get was number one since you can't get a one on two dice, the best snail you could get was number seven since there are three of ways of getting a seven.
the results on our game were:
ben: snail number 5 : 5 points: 5 matthew: 3 - 7 cath: 1 - 8
matthew: 7 - 5 luukas: 9 - 3 lulu: 6 - 1
after doing the race our teacher told us a trick to what snail wins the most

these are all the possible outcomes for rolling 2 dice, and it turns out that we were wrong,we thought that 6,7,8 were the best ones to role, but really 7 was the best, thanks to that table.

Today our Chinese teacher Tracy taught us more words in Chinese, such as...

A conversation

Jiaming: Ni hao!
Bide: Ni hao! Ni jiao shen me
Jiaming: Wo jiao wang jiaming. Ni ne?
Bide: Wo jiao bide. Wo shi xin xi lan ren.

In Chinese New Zealand is Xin xi lan. And now I know lots more Chinese.

picasso art

my class, room 20, have been doing some picasso art. picasso was a famous artist who pushed the limits by making self-portraits unrealistic and full of colour.  To start of out picasso art we needed a head shape, some eyes, a nose, a mouth and a hat or necklace if we wanted. no blank spots should be left once you are done and don't forget to use bright colours for your art to stand out.

picasso has taught us that there are no rules to art. later in the year 1973 he had die on the 8th of april at age 91. but he left his art behind which made a dot of colour in the world. he has inspired many people to get into drawing and painting.  

Revaluation tour

today our school had been told to go to the hall to see the revolution tour. The revolution tour are a group of amazing people who go to lots of different places to show everyone to believe there's things that we can change in the world, and that we can change that we can stop all the bad things in the world by being happy, being nice to others and all that good stuff. blake showed us a phrase that inspired when he was small and that phrase was, I see you my friend. it means so much to have had someone to say that it makes you feel like there's someone looking out for you, it makes you feel like you need to make a change, be a better person help others and make the world a better place. I see you my friend.

The Creature From Below

The creature from below

My names james and i'm a forest kid. I live in a tree house, I have a metal arm, Which I built myself~

I also live in the middle of the jungle and

have a lot of friends, (also known as twigs). To be honest, I don't really have much of anything.

One day I was going to have lunch when I realised I didn't have any food or water. So the obvious thing to do would be getting out and finding food but james was lazy and fell asleep instead.

Later he woke up to take a look outside. its getting dark. He thought to himself *growl* and i'm starving! I should have gotten out side while I had the chance, oh well, maybe I can get back home before dark. So he got his fishing rod and went out in search of food. *yawn*  I feel like the old steam is getting further away everyday. Oh never mind it's right there. Hmm looks different. A lot different… he sat by a tree for a while he waited for a fish to catch on to his hook, but later went past like a snail. And that's when he heard something make a noise, verr-roomp-ishhh. Yay! A fish! But there was no pull. Fishy?

He looked to the right to see where the fish was. No fish. To the left. And that's when he saw…

a jungle creature! It arose from the swamp with water gushing out of itself. It looked like a tree type of robot thing. verr-roomp-ishhh. A glimpse of light shot out of something in the creature's hand. Again it made the noise. Then a boom of black smoke shot across the forest. I quickly shoved my arm over my eyes and when I turned to take a look all I saw was the swamp water being dirty and gooey.

I had no idea what to do. Was the creature friendly or was it here to destroy the forest. I peeked around the tree and saw a strange hole, but, it was two dimensional? As a smart kid I thought I knew everything! Until this… I guess is I can't be smartest, I can be the bravest!

I faced the creatures back. “Hey! Monster!”. It faced me. Eyes of fire, smile of none. I trembled in fear. That's when I realised. I shouldn't have done that… The creature walked towards me. “GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT”. I started to run. It was dark now.  I ran back into the woods knowing I would lose it. That's when it became foggy. I lost my direction. Where has my home gone? Where have I gone? I should just give up… I slowed down and dropped to the ground then began to cry, so hungry, cold, tired. But I... I… can't give up! I stood up, my legs wobbling, scratches down my arm and leg. I stood.

*drip*drip*I looked above me only the monsters eyes staring at me. I started running again. Thoughts rushed through my head. Why didn't the monster eat me when It had the chance? What seat? All . I looked back to see where the monster was. SMACK! I rubbed I cheek and took a look at what was infront of me. My house! I ran inside and had a sit down on the couch *pop* Ha? I grabbed something underneath me. Chips! I started up my everyday thing again. And everything was back to normal apart from learning something new.

That there might be some hard times where you think you're through, And believe me you can get scared, but you need to stand and get past the storm until the sun shines through. And that's how everything turned out ok for me.

A Fairytale ending

Fairytale ending

“Grrr… Why is the forest so big!”. Jessica yelled angry. “I can never be alone here all the ants are so wanting to be my boyfriends! I'm talking to you to thomas!”. Jessica walked on, and then she fell. Ahhhh! “Like omg where am I”. she pushed away the leaves and found a house. “I'm like totes going to crash this party”. She ran over to the strange house in the middle of the forest. Without opening her eyes, she broke through the front door and started raving to the old people music. “I'm so amazing like, omg!”. She chucked tea on the someone in front of her. “Did you do that child?. The creepy old woman said. “Eww your ugly im out. And that was the end of Jessica.

Goals (term 2)

Last term, you might remember but I had some goals. These goals were to: Get to stage 6 in maths and get my technology badge. but since it's only been a term out of four it means this is going to be a "whole year" type of goal. 

So far I feel I have improved lots with maths. My teacher Mrs Pitt makes learning easy, which easy Is always a great word. I have learnt some little tricks for maths like number lines, halving and wholes and splitting up with equation. 

And so on with getting the tech badge. As I told you up the top, this is a whole year goal which if you didn't understand it's a goal that might take a whole year. 

I really like to cook but seemed to struggle with making it and on the most important day of my class I had forgot my ingredients, and in my case I was destroyed. So I am now going to a new class with hard materials like plastic and metal and I'm hoping that i'm better at this class.

I also have some new goals for this term and they are to, drum roll please, Nunununununu,Naaa! continue my technology badge conquest and continue my other goal getting to stage 6 in maths! 

And your probably wondering how i'm going to achieve these goals, and your answer my friend is... listen harder to the teacher and in my spare time to maths and my tech badge, is not to play around in class an ask more questions. well that's my goals story, and if you reached the end well done on you! 

Food tech (Mama mia pizza thoughts)

Food tech 
This term I have been doing food tech, My group, "twenty B" were making mama mia pizzas. we could chose any shape we wanted with lots of delicious toppings. Unfortunately, I did not bring my ingredients and did not make a pizza. I really like cooking, so I was not happy with myself, at all. I imagined my pizza to be colourful and bright with nice soft dough. I wanted to bring lots of different fruits and veggies like pineapple, corn and pickles. With different types of cheeses, but I should have known that I could only dream that. So me and my cooking buddy Jessica sat down and worked on our imaginary pizza. 

Cheer For Chairs

Cheer for Chairs

One afternoon, my family were sitting down for dinner, watching a movie on our new flat screen tv. Chomp, chomp, chomp, “This tv looks amazing!” I gasped, carefully watching it switch on to channel one.

Lennox plugged in the HDMI cord and the tv went to our laptops home screen. We searched the internet for movies. There were millions of different movies, and of course we all wanted to watch different ones. “Lets watch that movie! filled with action!” announced dad. “We should watch that one, it looks interesting”. Mum explained. “I like the looks of the one to the left, full of blood!” I yapped sarcastically.

As we all argued, my brother clicked on a random video. *click* we all turned to the screen, all was silent. The video started.

Then the first few seconds of the video there were just four chairs. Then four people came and sat on them side ways, I mean who sits on chairs side ways? They all lent back so there heads where on each others legs, ha, that rhymes. Another person appeared and started taking away the chairs.

Wow! Nothing's holding them up! “How do they do that?” I wondered.

There's only one thing to do now.

Chair one… chair two… chair three… chair four. Mum first… dad second, lennox third, me forth.

“Now I guess we just lean back?”. As my head hit mums leg, my brother had already taken his chair away like the wizard he is. Then my dad and mum, now it was me. I lifted up my back and took away the chair. “Ahhh-hhh-h”. I mumbled, wobbling side to side. That's when my mum fell.

“Oh no”. SMACK! Slapped in the face, and by my own hand...

The human square is now a human ball. We all stood up and had a say in “never doing that again”. So we all sat down and ate our dinner with broken bones. The one thing I learnt that night, was that it hurt and I’m never doing that again, but to late I had already done it again. but that's another story…

A Memorable Moment

A few years back my family were going on a trip, I didn't know where but I know we were wearing ski goggles and polar fleeces so I kinda guessed we were going somewhere cold. like Antarctica? No, too far. To my grandmas house? No, she's busy. Where could we be going?. Later on I had fallen asleep in the car.  Zzz, Zzz, Zzz. BONK! Ouch! my head had hit the door. I gazed at my mum “Sorry,” Dad murmured. “Slow down!,” mum growled. *Yawn* “here we are, The ski field”. We were now onto ordering our ski’s the man at the counter came out and asked how much I weighed. I made the silly joke and said,”sixty kgs”. Me and my brother cracked up laughing. The sad thing was he took my answer so the whole day I was dragging along 30 kg skis. My dad taught us how to ski and befor I know it I was going down hill 100 kilometers per minute, and you're probably wondering why i’m ok with it. I wasn't. Ahhhh!!! Thump. Head first into the snow. My dad sawed past behind me.” aren't you good at skiing”. He chuckled. My head popped out of the cold ice, Mouth, eyes nose ears all filled up with the freezing junk. *puff* it all came out, Me and my dad laughed. We jumped on the conveyor belt and went home with smiles and blue lips.

A Musical World

A Musical World

Hi, My name is Mr Fish and yes, i'm a fish. I live on a guitar by myself. My life is pretty boring apart from when the music bird hatches. The music bird is a note of a song of some sort. When it hatches it flies to the sound heart where it goes down the red carpet and adds itself to the note box that helps the chorus tree grow which helps the egg hatch and then it repeats itself over and over again. So as a fish in a god-like land you're probably thinking what do I do? Well i’m the guardian of music birds tree and I will continue this for the rest of my life until the next music guardian is born and I will be reincarnated as a some other animal maybe a fox? maybe a llama? Who knows...

Swimming Sports (manu comp)

YAAHOOO!

Screams were everywhere, an ocean of noise surrounded me. All of a sudden I was ripped off the ground and pushed along by a herd of yellow. I found myself at the front of the crowd being cheered for. Then a voice passed through my ear “... 3… 2… 1…” SMACK! My back was covered with pain as I hit the water. I was submerged in blue. Bubbles slowly floated past my face. Where was I? Which place did I come? Questions filled my head. I swam to the top of the blue carpet. Then yelling flooded around my head. I looked around, colors zoomed into sight. Relief lay over my body. I let out a sigh and flopped on top of a chair.

Quick Write ( Down the hole )

It was the day, My mum and dad had decided we need a new house. We had just finished packing up and saying bye to our friends but now it was time to go “I wish my friends came too” I mounded to dad. Dad wasn't happy with the price of the house he looked angry so I stopped talking and I put a frown on my face then slouched against the seat later we got there unpacked our stuff then went inside BOOM I fell through a hole in the floor! Where was I?! Books swirled around me making horrible illusions and random Items and animals everywhere. Where was I? Whats going on? AHHHHH-aaa? I was home in bed. *Puff puff* I looked out my window we were packing up our car - and getting ready to go somewhere, but where? AHHHH!
