Passion Project

For the rest of the term on Mondays and Thursdays we are doing our passion projects. I chose a project AR (Augmented Reality). The way were doing it, is  we are setting up a sand box with a projector, a computer and a sensor. What we do is we can move around the sand (kind of like land) and when it go's below sea level it turns into water (virtual water). You can make it rain. We made a big sandbox, we got and cleaned beach sand, we  even installed linux .It has been tough to make but there has been some problems. The computer could have been better. We could have made it better if we had more time. But it was just about finished just the computer wouldn't project the image. I hope it is ready soon. 

Attitude Talk

Attitude Talk.
Today Emma and Rory from Attitude came in to talk about being safe with technology. It was really funny. We talked about technology and how to use and not use it. Stuff like appropriate use being safe and being mindful. They also talked about catfishing. Catfishing is when you pretend to be someone else. Remember be safe online
Thanks for reading.

Yurtle the turtle

Yurtle the turtle is our new class turtle.
She is a female red eared slider.
She is about 15 years old.
The actual owner works at St Bernadette's, so she has lived at St Bernadette's while Mr Mitchell's wife has worked there.
The way we got them is we had to write a persuasive letter, and swap them for the frogs Yoda and Belle.

Here is my persuasive letter:

Dear Mrs Mitchell

Our class would like to have the turtles and in return you can have the frogs. There names are Yoda
(Boy) and Belle (Girl) and they are golden bell frogs. Here are some good things about the frogs.
If the class is quiet Yoda will croak, You can learn about their life cycle, they also come with a feeder.
The frogs are easy to look after. They are out when it is hot. So those are the reasons why you should
have the frogs

B&E

For B&E/ Business and Enterprise me and my group are making rock candy.
My group name is JMJC. J for Josh. M for Mathew. J for Jared and C For Cody
Hopefully we will make a profit.

Draft:

Can I please have a velociraptor for a pet?

I can take care of it and it easy to feed its easy to. It’s also easy to transport.

The feedback that I got was:

I can only see one little problem in your writing and that is that you have only like 2 to 3 sentences.
Overall you have provided me with information I was not aware of. Perhaps you could give me more
information.- Kade

Draft:

A strange thing happened on the way to school today.

I was scootering to school one day, When a meteor pod came down. BOOM!

I walked towards it. ARGH! IT WAS A ZOMBIE. I ran as fast as I could and jumped in a crashed truck. I tried to start it but it just wouldn't. Then it did. I drove off and parked in an alley and they ran right by me.I jumped in the back of the truck and realised it was a mobile armory truck. Bang! Bang! Bang! They found me. I grabbed an RPG, A Scar-L and a Revolver. Also a Hatchet. I kick the door open and run. I ran and ran, and I also accidently dropped my hatchet and revolver.

My only option was to run into the big science building. So I did  and locked the door. I ran up the steers to the third story. I smashed the window with a chair. Boom! I shot a rocket and then I got my Scar out and started shooting. I took down the whole hoard. Then I blew up the meteor pod.

I picked up my bag and stuffed the weapons and I ran home and went to be

The feedback I got given.

I like how you gave us lots of information on the topic. I would like you to add more information about the problem. For example detail about how it looks, how it was doing what it was doing.

You forgot to add a title and the title adds a bit more information about the topic. I like how you gave us some detail about what you were doing but you might like to give us more detail about how you were going to school. Maybe you could give us more detail of where the meteor was seen to be going. You have given us a lot of detail about your solution.

What is the moral of this story?

My Final.

It looked like it was fake m

ade out of metal and had a door. It was also glowing green

The moral of the story is to not go close to weird things.

Rubbish Clean Up

For the last few weeks 7Mt and 7DS have been working on statistics. We had to clean up rubbish around the school in just thirty minutes. The results were so impressive! We ended up cleaning up 2,900 peaces. Here are some graphs that I made.

Surviving a natural disaster.

Tsunami warning sirens.

Me

Surviving a natural disaster.

WOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOO

I was in panic. Those were the tsunami sirens. You have 24 hours before the
tsunami hits. Get to high ground or be an idiot and lock yourself in a basement.
Can you guess what option I chose. Obviously I chose to be an idiot and lock
myself in a basement. But I wasn’t that stupid I had a plan. My plan was to go
in my basement (that was 300 meters deep). it had weapons, canned food,
Frozen food, 500L of water and heaps of other things i needed to survive.
There is a ladder, a elevator and a car elevator. I could survive for a whole
year under there, It was the dream bunker it could survive anything. Especially
tsunamis. I zoomed down there. And locked the 3 big metal doors. (23 hours
later). tsunami incoming. The lights flickered on. I could hear splashing the
lights starting flickering. I turned on the generator and sat down. The tsunami
was getting worse the splashing was getting louder. I flicked on the tv and
watched it. (3 hours later). the tsunami was real intense. BANG! The first door
broke. BANG! The second door broke. I was doomed I only had one door left.
Then I remembered the big emergency door. I put in code and the door
dropped. I went and had some steak and collapsed (48 hours later). I woke
up to... The tsunami is over you can come back to town now. I opened the
doors and climbed up the ladder. Most of the city was washed away. Some
of my house was ok. By some I mean none. It was all gone there was nothing
but the elevator ladder and car elevator hatch. Well I had money so I could
just get my house rebuilt. After all I did have a car so I didn't need that.

Ice Cream Writing

Vanilla

I was about to have some vanilla ice cream. I slowly opened the tin foil top I slowly approached and scooped some. It tapped my tongue then my brain froze. It was creamy and half melted. It's like it was made for me. I can't really describe the flavor but it was still really yum.

Goody Goody Gum Drop

It was time to have ice cream AGAIN. This time it was goody goody gum drops (and it was creamy again) My table was up first. I was the first to have the ice cream. The ice cream was mint green and the it had lollies I got Three. When we finished we had to write about it (OBVIOUSLY) The ice cream has its own flavor (if you didn’t know) Now you should try goody goody gumdrop ice cream.
