What is the purpose of my Blog?

Hola (Spanish), this is something Emily has been working on, it is what she has been doing in her Cybersmart lessons. Enjoy!




What are you going to do differently now to improve your blog posts?

Probably improving the way I set out my blog and the way it is presented.

Winter Sport 2018

Maliu mai to Blog-Mania! Samoan by the way! Emily is back to tell some more about her exciting happenings at her school! Take it away Em!

Thanks Blog-Mania person! This term something very exciting is about to happen! The Winter Sport Tournament is coming up again (it happens annually)! Everyone from a certain age group and up selects and sport that they would really like to play and also a sport that they would kind-of like to play. This is your 1st and 2nd choice. I put netball first then hockey. I love netball because you can be aggressive but it also requires a lot of hand-eye coordination and skill. I put hockey because I've never played before, and I want to give it a try!

There are trials for each sport and from there A, B and etc teams are selected. After that a group of people from the all the teams go through to a Tournament. Last year I went to that and it was awesome! We played 6 games of netball and we only lost 1! Once the Tournament is over, Thursday Sport starts. Everyone who trialed for anything plays on Thursdays against other schools. Last year I was put in the A Team and played other schools A Teams. It was very fun and at the end of Winter Sport we have a prize giving and 2 people form every single team get voted to win. 1 is called Player's Player. That is the award that is voted to someone by the team. There is also Most Valuable Player which is selected by the coach.

Well that's what I've been up to lately! Hoped you enjoyed this episode of Blog-Mania! See you next time! Byeeee



Update: The Winters Sport Team's were sent out, and I trailed for netball and I got into the A Team! The Tarantulas! Thanks and byeeee!

Thank you so much Blog-Mania guy! It. Has. Been. So. Looong! Now to catch you up... where do I start? Well there was meeting our new class, (I love mine by the way), making new friends and starting a new school year! We got into our workshops almost after week 3! It was so fun coming back as a Year 6! We have been learning so much like what verbs and nouns and things like that are, learning how to blog by the way.


I have also recently joined back to Code Club, Lit-Club, and just joined Librarian, Netball, Cricket and Band! Don't forget Altar Serving! This Easter we have a coding challenge. To create something related to Easter or the Easter story and make ona coding platform, not necessarily Scratch. Be on look out for that soon. Well that's what happened lately, there's loads and loads more but I don't want to make this a 3 page long post! Hope you all had AWESOME holidays! Byeeeee!

Scratch Part 3!

Receperint retro to Blog-Mania! Latin! Per usual Emily!

Thanks Blog-Mania dude! Scratch! You know the drill! Scroll down, read and come back up! This time I have something called "Paint Box"! To start press the flag. To stop, press the stop sign. Then, all you have to do is drag around the pencil and it will draw whatever you want! To change the colour, click on the colour you want! To erase something, click on the eraser and rub out what you want to get rid of! To change the width, slide the width level to whatever you want it to be! To clear the whole thing, press the x! Good Luck!

Was it fun? Was it easy? Tell me in comment what you drew! Byeeeee!

Book Week!

Welkom terug to Blog-Mania! That was in Dutch! Today we will be talking about Harry Potter and Windows!

Thanks Blog-Mania bro! Today we're talking about Book-Week! Book-Week is a week we dedicate to books! Specifically the window display.

How it works is we choose a book a create different creation based around that book. For my class we chose "Harry Potter"! We did all sorts for the window. We made the logos, flying cars, charters, the golden snitch, quotes and way more! After we made all those things we stuck them on a Hogwarts castle and stuck the castle on the window along side other things. This is our finished product:

 ~ This is the full window!

I hoped you liked it! Rate it down in the comments from a scale of 1 to 10! Make sure to come back for the new upcoming season! Byeeee!

Music Festival!!

Welina hou Blog-Mania viewers! (Welcome back in Hawaiian!). Emily is here undercover to give you all the details about the Music Festival!

The Music Festival! On Tuesday (24.10.17) our School Choir went to something called the "Music Festival" in Christchurch at the Horncastle Arena. I am going to interview 4 people who went to Festival to perform and ask them the following questions:

1) How many songs do you think you sung?
2) What was your favorite song to sing?
3) Were you nervous and if so why?
4) Overall, on a scale from 1-10 what would you rate your whole experience?

Time to ask around!

Roza:
1) "Alot."
2) "Didn't have a favourite."
3) "Kind-of but I did have support."
4) "8 and I'd definitely do it again."

Joanna:
1) "11"
2) "Africa"
3) "Yes because I was afraid I would mess up."
4) "9."

Ella:
1) "12."
2) "Africa."
3) "Kind-of nervous."
4) "9."

Beccy:
1) "12."
2) "Weather with You."
3) "A little bit because I had a brain block (I forget the lyrics.)."
4) "10!"

I hoped they enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed this interview.

Well that's it for today but come back soon...as a new season is coming out! Stay tuned! Byeeee!

58 Metres Down

What up Blog-Mania peeps! Say "What's up!" to Emily!

Thanks for that intro Blog-Mania person! Today I'm telling you about S.U.... you don't remember...again!? That's ok. Scroll down....you saw it yet? Read it. Don't worry I'll wait. That's S.U.W. I have written Part 3 and 4 for 58 metres Down! To read part 1 and 2 scroll down to "Another Piece of Silent Writing! Part 2" and read. I'm really excited to share it with you as I have been working rather hard on these stories! You don't have to read it. It is long! Also if you a scared of sharks I recommend not reading this! Enjoy!

“Maybe we could break the cage!” I said to Ivory.

“Oh yeah that’s a good idea! I forget that we were the Incredible Hulk!” yelled Ivory.

“We can get out easily because the lid is open but the whole reason we're down here is because of our selfish crew and of course, the shark. What do shark love to eat?” I asked.

“Us.”

“Other than that!”

“Tuna, seals, all sorts. They also have a good sense of smell.” said Ivory.

“I’ve got it! We can swim up 1-2 metres and lure the shark down. With the air tanks, we can spray them at the shark to make it shut its eyes. Then we can swim around the shark, get on top.”

“And then use the rest of the air tanks to push the shark down while we swim up. At school we swim the 50 metres all the time. But how quickly does the air come out and what is the pressure?”

“Um...I don’t know the speed but the pressure is enough for us to make the shark shut its eyes.”

“So let’s get the shark down.”

“To late….”

To Be Continued...

The last part...

Previously on 58 Metres Down:

Part 3

The shark is swimming closer and closer….to close!

It’s swimming around the cage! Oh Lord help us!

“Quick! Grab the tanks!” screamed Ivory.

“Got ‘em!” I replied.

I sprayed them up at the shark and it’s eyes were starting to shut!

“Quick swim around!” I yelled.

But… the shark stared into my soul! We were at the side of the shark and it was snapping! Snap! Snap! Each one closer than the last!

“Far out!” Ivory screamed.

All we were doing was annoying the shark! Again….snap after snap!

All we did was swim!

He swam 48 metres up and hope was lurking! But snap! Where is Ivory’s arm!

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!” screamed Ivory in pain.

The shark has bit her arm of!

“Help! Help!” I screamed!

The blood attracted even more sharks and things weren’t looking up.

Oww! The shark bit me! But what part? I look down in horror….where on earth is my leg!

“Fudge, fudge, fudge!” I screamed in pain.

Hope! Hope!

“Grab on!” yelled the lifeguard.

Ivory grabbed on….but I didn’t.

“Nooo!” screamed Ivory.

What she didn’t realize is that she wouldn’t see me again.

Snap! Ah! There goes my other leg. By this point I just gave up. But then in the shocking turn of events….Ivory let go of the lifeguard. She swam down, grabbed my arm and tried to race up but it was too late… the shark struck at us both with his giant jaws. Goners we were. Again...I have one more question…. Why did Ivory let go?

Comment down below what you would like to see less of or more of! Have a good day! Byeeeee!
