CLIMATE CHANGE - GAME

For the past 8 weeks in Digital Technology, we have been creating games and apps to promote our problems. My problem was Climate Change and I decided to create my own game. It was very complicated and I didn't get it at first but as time went on I started to understand what I was doing. I chose to do climate change because I think that it is a big problem that we need to solve. If we keep polluting the world and melting the ice we might destroy the world and not even know it.

TENNIS BOUNCE - By Emily

Today for our Hurumana we created our own games. First, we created our game then got them checked by Mr. Mitchel. Then He put us into groups so we can deduce our games and see which one we would play. Luckily for me, the team choose my game to play and I think that we had a lot of fun. My game is free to use so you can play it.

OBJECT OF THE GAME -

Make the ball stop bouncing on the other player's side and win the point.

EQUIPMENT AND PLAYERS -

With each game, there are 2 players.
1 on each side if the line so they can vs each other with the game of
TENNIS BOUNCE.

The equipment you will need is -

• 2 paddles with each game
• 1 tennis ball
• Line (as the net)

WINNING THE GAME -

To win the game you need to get the most points by stopping the
ball on the other side without going onto their side. If you hit the
ball far away from where they are and it stops on their side then
you get a point. However, if they get the ball to stop
on your side then they get a point

RULES -

• AS LONG AS THE BALL IS BOUNCING THEN YOU ARE STILL IN.
• IF THE BALL STOPS ON YOUR SIDE YOUR OUT.
• STAY IN YOUR SQUARE.
• WHEN IT STOPS THEN THE OTHER PERSON GETS 1 POINT.
• IF YOU HIT THE BALL WITH YOUR HANDS THEN THE OTHER PLAYER GETS THE POINT.
• DO NOT KICK THE BALL.
• DO NOT GO ON THE OTHER PLAYERS SIDE.
• HAVE FUN.

The Changeover - Margaret Mahy

To start of the week of reading I decided to read for 10 minutes to help me understand the book a little bit more. The girl named Laura was hopping out of the shower when her towel disappeared into thin air. her mother was in the room next to her and she shouted out loud asking her if she could bring her a towel. In the end, she got the towel and exited the bathroom while heading to her room. When she got to her room she looked in the mirror to find she wasn't herself anymore. She tried to identify what she and her reflection had different. At first, she couldn't see anything but as her eyes drifted up to her face she stopped in shock. She looked older then she was and her hair was different. She screamed out to her mother and explained what had happened. She had asked if her mother could write her a note but her mother said that there will be no notes on a Thursday. 

I think that this book is really interesting so far and can't wait for the next time. What do you think will happen next.

Tane Mahuta - Cleaning The Compost

Today for our Community Impact Project we decided to clean up the compost area because we are gonna try to clean it up and make it a better place for the environment. We started off by picking up rubbish from around the area. It took a long time to get at least 2/3s of the rubbish in the bag but we decided to finish there. After that, we picked up the leaves, branches and cabbage leaves that we could find and put them in the compost/beside the compost. after that, we had already made it look way better than when we walked in. I think we just made Mother Nature happy again.

The Changeover - Margaret Mahy

It is a new week and for this new week, I have gotten a new book called The Changeover and I have only read the first page but I feel so hooked already. So far they talk about shampoo and wanting to be transported to Paris she thought "just for a moment I had had a dream of washing my hair and walking out of the shower to find I was not only marvelously beautiful but also transported to Paris." I think that in this line they have already incorporated not only a beautiful city but how she is beautiful as well. That is all for now.
