Weekly Goals & Reflection

My goal for this week is too finish one of the tasks I started but didn't finish and do a new task. Last week I only managed to post one thing to my blog I hope to do better.

Videogame Gone Rouge - The Eevees Breakout

After an hour or so of playing non stop pokemon it was time to put down the switch and... you have no idea what's going on do you. Well I just bought myself a Nintendo Switch and was playing the new game Pokemon Let's Go Eevee. I was feeling kind of peckish and went to raid the pantry for something to eat. When I got back there were tons of Eevee in my room, how this came to be is a long story....

So I was playing let's go eevee and I was walking around for a bit and I came across a patch of grass filled with Eevee I think it was a glitch. Now I really like Eevee so I caught 'em all, now the Eevee's weren't happy about this and I got swarmed. I was kind of paranoid that if I came across an Eevee I wouldn't have enough pokeballs to catch it so I had a TON, over 100. I had enough pokeballs to most of them but there were two I hadn't caught, and they were really mad! I ran away from them. They chased me down I managed to get to the pokemon center and bought some more pokeballs. I just managed to catch them before they used swift on me. Crisis averted I stopped playing to go get some food, panic really makes you hungry. Now back to the many many Eevee's in my room.....

The two Eevee were fuming by now and they spoke in english to tell me off, like a angry parent. "HOW DARE YOU!!!!! How dare you take advantage of our family reunion!! You trainers are a great big pain in the *bleep* (The Eevee swore), we all haven't seen each other in ages and you jus--" I cut him off by pressing my face into his super soft, fluffy mane. I looked up and saw the eevee was bright red, I guess it feels weird to have someone touch your fur when you're a wild Eevee. The Eevee was also very much annoyed by this, He used swift and then every other Eevee also used swift. It really hurt but they returned to the screen, no longer caught by me and they all left.

The End.

This story won't ever happen to you, also I haven't played pokemon let's go yet so don't judge if some of the story is different to how the game works. Tell me what you thought of my story.

Figurative Language

In English we did a week long course or activity booklet, there's not a lot more to say.

What am I learning?
Figurative Language.
How does this work show my learning?
I did every task.
What am I wondering as a result of this learning?
Why is it so hard to think of examples?

A 30sec Self Directed Film

In english we have been making our own 30 second films, in five groups we chose topics and started planning. I don't know much about the planning because I was doing something else but I can tell you about other things. I being the main actor had the most important part, if I wasn't there the film would have been a disaster. I had to steal a book and get caught! I know so cool, be amazed. We filmed six different scenes the last one was me being caught, I wanted to hit the librarian with a book though. The editing took a while but we ended up with a great film, it had great music too. Actually never mind the editors failed ha ha ha hee.

hopefully you like it because I did but don't anymore.

Oh questions:

• What am I learning?

About making films.

• How does this work show my learning?

it has the finished product.

• What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

how long it takes to make an hour and a half film, this took three weeks.

Design A Math Game

In math we realized that we didn't know very many math words or synonyms for plus, minus, multiply and divide. To fix this we made word clouds and games:

Here is the slide with the word clouds:


And here's our slide for the game this includes all the planning and ideas:
 We were using the design process, starting  with the brief then you research, come up with ideas, make it and finally evaluate.

Creation of NZ wordsearch

This is a word search with keywords from the creation of New Zealand from Maori legend. This was done for social studies *clapping intensifies* I know wonderful here it is:

If you found everything good for you I don't really care.

Calculating Squares On A Grid

In math we have been learning how to calculate the number of squares on the outside of a 10x10 grid. We have been figuring out ways to figure out the number of squares on the outside of a grid. I will explain two ways to do it, a complex way and a easy way.
First the Complex way:

Find the total number of squares by timesing one side by the other side. Then remove the squares around the outside and times the new side by the other new side. Afterwards minus the smaller number from the bigger number and you have your answer. You can do algebra by changing the ten to n and the 8 to n-2.

Now the easy way:

If the sides are 10 then you can times them by four then you can minus four this works on any number. See told you it was easy, you can also do algebra with this one by changing it to 4n which means 10+10+10+10 minus four.

Now you know how to calculate the square on the outside of a grid, so tell all your friends and act like a nerd if you want to. Also comment any other ways you can think of doing it.
