My Lock Down 2021

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be telling you about how my lock down has gone so far. As most of you would know New Zealand got into lock down on the 17th of August, Tuesday. For our work in Miss Alpers class, we had to do a scavenger hunt and how our lock down is going. Today I will just be telling you about how my lock down is going. Here is what I write about it.

This lockdown has been pretty boring. There’s not much to do and nothing is really open to do either. But I do enjoy the homemade food we make at home, for some reason we are making even fancier food than normal. I have been keeping up with Covid to see what has been happening lately and I think Jacinda Ardern is doing amazing.  Personally, lockdown isn’t the worst but I wouldn’t want to be stuck in it again.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. How is your lock down going (if your in it)? Thank you for reading my blog post and I will hopefully see you on my next one. Bye!

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.
