Ako Hiko student led toolkits 2021

 Student Led Toolkits

Hi bloggers and on 20/5/21, we went to the Ako Hiko Student Led Toolkits at Owairaka School.

First we went to learn how to use coding on Minecraft. At the last level of coding, we could make our own Minecraft coding game. I made a weird code that the cows followed me and then they went in my house, luckly I trapped them in my house and when it was night, the cows exploded, fzz... BOOM!, as it exploded, it dropped bricks of my house and destroyed, Ha Ha, very funny, although the house was destroyed.

Second we went to know how to use Webcam Toy which we could make our own photos that looked very weird because there were about 81 different selfies, I made my mouth very enormous. I made myself look like a dog with big cheeks and I even made my photo which I was on fire, also there was a photo with snow falling on me, I enjoyed using all of the different and weird template modes, it was fun.

Finally we went to know how to use Incredibox and basically, you need to give the men some clothings which are naked and also you can record your song as you can add some new skins on the men at the same time. You really should try it, it's so fun and especially, after you save your song you can play it in your drive or play it in your files and you can get the link of your song, geez.. Incredibox is so fun.

I had a lot of fun at Ako Hiko student led toolkits, it's fun, because you get to learn how to use new apps and sites.

Spark Arena

Spark Arena

Hi bloggers and we went to Spark Arena where it would have been a very expensive trip but we were very lucky to go for free!

First, we went to the Happy Place, and when I came there, "OH MY GOSH", I exclaimed. I saw a empty pool but with around 1000 balls in there. I jumped so high some of the guides had to pull me out, Even the teachers jumped in and almost couldn't get out of the balls. We also went inside the room with a lot of tiny bits of papers. I collected 150 of them and threw them around though 20 got stuck on me on the way, fun!. 

Next, we went inside the place called Sounds Fun and we got to play all of the instruments. I played the drums, at first I wasn't so good but at the end, I got all of the beats and it said: are you a machine? which mean't I got 100% of everything. I also went to play the drumpad as well and there were about a lot of colours and different beats, again I was about average but at the end, I also got very good.

Finally, we got to see the Van Gogh Experience, he drew some beautiful flowers, drew a whole landscape and he even drew a bedroom that looked very realistic. He is now a VERY famous artist from the impressionist movement. Wow, I thought and then we went inside the next room which was dark on the way there, later, we saw a slideshow of all the paintings. To say, these paintings were $150,000,000, will you believe it!. The paintings were also flimed on the ground as we sat on it, I felt like I was dreaming though I wasn't, at the end we were given a packed lunch with apple juice, and then went back on the bus back to school at half past twelve.

It was so fun going to Spark Arena especially the Happy Place, Sounds Fun and also especially the Van Gogh experience about his paintings.

Swimming at cameron pools

 Swimming at Cameron Pools

Hi bloggers, we have been swimming at Cameron Pools since week 1. We learn't how to swim freestyle and backstroke, I already knew how to swim. It is also important to know how to swim because we live in a small place near the cape of NZ and 100 people drown a year only by average.

We got inside the pool, it was cold. First, we had to kick on our front and back especially swimming on our sides, even though we had to swim the whole pool once, everybody could do that easily. Next, we had to do it without a board, and we had to swim in a streamline. However, back but they still managed to swim. Finally we could do freestyle and backstroke with our arms, I was OK on my backstroke but I could swim very fast on my freestyle, I actually swam so fast and I also took everybody infront of me. Soon the water was now warm so I stayed inside the water, after we swam, we got out of the pool and got changed as we went back on the bus, going back to our school.
