Fiji Beats New Zealand Sevens

 Today for my Hurumanu class with Mrs Alpers we were doing work about Fijis win over  New Zealand. There were many things that happens during the time before the game. We had to fill in the blank spots about what happens before and a little bit after the game. Now I will show you the document we made. 

Olympic Gold was won by the Fiji Rugby Sevens team in Tokyo last evening (NZ time).

The game was against Fiji who ended up winning the gold Medals.

Fiji’s captain is emotional about the win. He said this win was very special because they had to go into Lockdown after Easter. They have not seen their family since.  They spent most of that time shut up in a hostel in a room training in a gym they built in a garage.

When they were on their way to Japan the Fijian team got stuck on a plane, along with some crates full of frozen fish.

These experiences helped them form a very tight group of people which makes for a great team.

Here is a image of the winners.

Thank you for reading my blog post. Have a good day or night and I will hopefully see you on my next blog post. Goodbye!

Hands On Fire (Science Experiment)

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be telling you about one of my favourite things I have done in science, this experiment was hands on fire. I think I got one of the biggest flames, now I will be telling you the steps we had to do and then I will show you a video of my friend hands on fire because I don't have a video.

First Step: The first thing we did is get safety glasses.

Second Step: The second thing we did was get water on our hands and half our arms. 

Third Step: Then we would get a little bit more water.

Fourth Step: The fourth step is when the teacher that did it for us (Mr Stock) would turn the gas on in a bucket that can make bubbles (I don't know what he did to get bubbles).

Fifth Step: The fifth step was to get a big handful of bubbles and then we would go to the green towel where he would light our hands on fire.

Sixth Step: The sixth step you'd do is wait until the person setting your hands on fire "set your hands on fire". Once he did that and your hands started to get hot you would put your hands into a stop sign and then the fire would stop. 

Now I'll show you the video of my friend doing it.

Thank you for reading my blog. This was a really fun experiment and it is very memorable. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, unless you have a professional doing it for you. Again thank you for reading my blog post and have a good day or night goodbye.

Finished Logo Design (Art Class)

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be talking about our personal logos we have been making. Just a mini recap is that in art class we have been making our own logos and mine is a rugby ball with a UFO as the main logo and STEEMING as the letters in bold for the middle. So my one is a combination logo. Now I will show you a picture of it and then reflect on it.

My personal logo design is printed very well, the background looks cool and everything. The black ink I used was very good with what I did because the background looking just as good as the ball did. The lines stand out nicely and is pretty clear but not as good as I wanted it to be. There are lots of ink around the place so that's what makes it look good. There are a few places where there should be some black ink but sadly I cut it on accident. 

My logo explains a little bit about me on how I like playing Rugby League but I think I could explain a little bit more about me on it instead of putting a UFO on it which doesn't explain anything at all about me. But I think I like the word steeming on it more then if I put my name on it.  My ball does have a cool positive and negative space on it. It is balanced really nicely in my opinion, because the black ink is the ball and ink and the white bits are the arrows and that.

Overall i'm really proud of what I did. There weren't many mistakes in my logo which is good. Thank you for reading my blog, feel free to leave a comment because I want to see what you all think of it aswell. Have a good day or night and I'll see you on my next blog goodbye.

Hour Of Coding

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be talking about an app we having been doing for one of our Hurumanu classes. This site is a thing where you code games or play games and code it to get past levels. This app is really fun and I enjoy this app a lot. I have been doing 2 main games, one of them is a game that you can play around with and the other one is where there are different levels to complete. 

First Game

This game is where you do what the people say to do until your at the last level. This game is all about coding and just for beginners for coding. You have to code animals that are dancing and you get to pick which animal you want to code to dance.

Game Two

This game is the one with many different levels. You have to code on how to escape the dungeon. You can pick which character you want to use, if you want your strength to be high you'd pick the character with the highest attacking power. This game is really fun to play and I can't wait until I can get on the site and play it again.

Thank you for reading my blog post. If you would like to try this site out click one of the links or this one to get into the actual site. Again thank you for reading my blog and I will hopefully see you on my next one.

Logo Design (Art Class)

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be telling you what we have been doing in art class. This has been a very long process and it's been very fun doing. I have made a rugby ball design, I will be telling you on what it looks like. 

I am making a rugby ball logo, the main logo is a UFO looking thing and the words are STEEMING in bubble letter and coloured in black. There are arrows pointing at the Logo and the letters in the middle. The arrows are also coloured in black. There are diamond looking things at the 2 sides of the ball (left and right). There are 2 W's on each side of the UFO (the UFO is in the top middle). The word (STEEMING), UFO, the 2 sides and the arrows are the positive things and the negative things are the white inside the ball. The design doesn't describe much about me but the ball does because I enjoy playing Rugby League.

Thank you for reading my blog post. I hope you enjoyed it, I am sorry the outline of the ball isn't there. Have a good day or night goodbye.

Science Experiment (Looking At Micros Through A Microscope)

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be talking about a science experiment we did today. This was a pretty fun and easy thing to do. I will be telling you about the things we had to do before we look through the microscope.

The first thing we had to do was get an bit of an onion and peel of one thick layer at the top (it was like the skin part). Then we placed it on a slide and put a drop of stain thing on top. After that we went to a microscope and fiddled with it for a little bit until we found a cool piece of micros. Sorry I have no photos of it because it was in a microscope but I do have some photos on google that look similar to ours.

Overall this was a fun science experiment too do. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Have a good day or night and I hope to see you on my next blog post, bye!
