Netbook reflection

How has having a netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year.
Our teachers are helping us by using our class sites to share, create and teach us.
Our teachers also use other sites to help us like Maths Whizz, study ladder and much more.
I have learnt to do khan academy, maths whizz and a lot of other stuffs. Its good to learn things independently, Make the discovery yourself and never forget it.
I have learnt how to use strategies to help me in maths, reading and writing. The strategies have helped to use my netbook as well. I have helped a friend by helping his to use his netbook and helped them in maths and in reading. I have grown my key competencies by using my netbook to think, relate to others, manage my self and participate in school activities.

3 Days Long

On Friday After school around 6:00 PM my friend invited me to come over and play games. I went over and played until around 12:00 PM. We played Black Ops 1 and ate Nachos. When I got back home I looked in the Microwave, and found 2 boxes of pizza. YAY!! I was so hungry. When I got home everyone was asleep I climbed through one of the open windows.

The next day I put out the Ps3 and started playing Black Ops 2. I was trying to unlock the Golden Camo for my Dsr 50. I realize that not many people play Black Ops 2, a lot play Black Ops 1 or Call Of Duty Ghost. In the afternoon It was so boring at was hot as well.

On Sunday it was really boring. All I did was go church then go to my Nanas house and play on his Xbox. I played Hitman 1 and Hitman 2. Then we played guitar and rode on the bikes. We also ate heaps and heaps of chips and junk.

On Monday (Teachers only day) I played on the Ps3 again I played for like 9 Hours. All I did was play and wait for my mum to bring some food for my brothers and I. My mum brang us fish ‘n’ chips in the morning and in the afternoon. In the afternoon about 12:00 My dad and I fixed the lawn mower and mowed the lawn. We had to replace the bolt on the handle, so I could push it around. My neighbours also came to help us. One of our neighbours wanted to borrow the Lawn Mower but, NEK MINNIT, we finished the petrol. My Neighbours came over to my house and we played on the Ps3 (the kids of course). Afterwards we all went home and thats what we called a day.

National Anthem



God of Nations! at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
E Ihowä Atua,
O ngä iwi mätouä
Äta whakarongona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tö atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

Delta Force 6




“Alright men, you know what the plan is,  get in there, secure the town, create the perimeter, and hold position till Task Force clear the coast and the rigs. You will be dropped off 600 metres away from the town, Task Force will land 400 metres away from the rig and then take the coastal area, then make it back to the extraction zone. The codename for this mission is ‘Aftermath’ UNDERSTOOD?” LT addressed. “YES SIR.” Task Force 141 will be here at zero 200”LT replied. So soap went off and told his men Harper,Mason,Jack and Soap. Time passed and Task Force arrived in two Black Hawks and two little birds protecting the special cargo.“Alright Soap, this is Woods leader of Task Force, Woods this is Soap Leader of Delta Force”Lt explained to them. “This is Jake, Everstone and Browns, three of my best men.”said Woods We called in SOAR to provide covering sniper fire till we reach the village.” “okay we set trip at sunset” Soap replied. “Ohh, also we called in the 4th parachute Brigade which they will land on the east,west and north to provide watch out on the ground while the SOARs take care in the sky.” Woods exclaimed. Soap replied “okay Woods, Soap if you take too many casualties on the field we are pulling you out, if mission is success we will send in the convoys to pick you up and it a free ride home”.

Time passed quickly, and all the men geared up,then Delta and Task Force all boarded the Blackhawks with 4 Little Birds protecting the convoy down below.” Alright you all know the plan,secure the the town at set the perimeter and hold of the town until Task Force reach our position,got that”said Soap. Alright you know what our jobs to clear out the rig and the coastal areas” said Woods. “Alright night vision on,this all about stealth boys go go go!!”Soap said in a serious voice. “No man left behind got that” Soap added meanwhile Task Force was 4 feet of the ground to keep watch out then travel by air to their position and complete their objectives. Half of every squad was equipped with SCAR-H with supressor and ACOG sight or M16 and one of the other soldiers would have a Ballista with Iron sight and the other with a QBB LSW with target finder or millimeter scanner. “Alright Mason Take point” Soap commanded. “Ahhh crap my guns jammed on safety mode, this really hard to pull back ahhh” Jack cut a huge cut in his palm “Fix  him up Mason” Soap commanded.  “Harper move up with me we’ll take the right ,Mason you and jack  take the left” Soap ordered . As the men move quiet as a mouse into their position, Task Force just landed 400 metres. As  Both of the team looked confident they all knew what was inside everyone's heart fear and no one likes fear . Task force advanced 200 metres up to the overloaded rig, Delta Force advanced  400 metres the movement and the weight has a really negative feeling on the soliders.  








Hours passed and Task Force finally reached the rig, finally  Delta Force  reached their destination,”Mason are you in  position”, Negative sir we are 50 metres out, Delta Force  this is SOAR team we have a visual on your position and we’ll observe,Roge that overlord how did you get visual, UAV is up and running, we have a clear visual of all enemy in the zone Mason there are two enemy moving in from the left we’ll take them out our heat sensors show there are two on the right,no that's us on the right and Mason on the left”. “Roger that Mason can you hear me you have six enemy  jeeps on the street and patrols down the streets to the gate,roger that”Mason replied. “Jack we are going to take down the patrol on the main road then destroy the alarms”roger that Jack said in pain. “Are you alright”Mason asked his wounded comrade “negative” Jack replied in a shallow voice. “This is 4th brigade preparing  to parachute down do you copy....Roger that”Mason jagged back at them. “There they are Price the UAV has detected a pack of enemy moving straight to your location,Roger thanks for the brief. “Mason get over here we’ll take out the  snipers and create a distraction for the Brigade so they can land and secure the Perimeter” Soap ordered. “I can’t I’m pinned down if I move I’ll be spotted and they’ll send out men to the rigs,duhh it’ll make it so obvious they’re there.” “curshh Soap this is overlord, We’ve spotted enemy convoy heading to the rig and there is a huge camp between you and the rig,I guess Task Force can’t make it too your position .” “There is a huge hidden camp? Soap replied You got that right.” The overlord replied. “ Mason you have too many casualties time to pull you out there” Overlord commanded. “No we have come to far to give up.” “Sorry you have to wounded at no medical assistance around so we can’t lose anymore men” Overlord commanded. “Roger that boys we have failed, but tomorrow is another day.”

5. What precautions are taken to to protect the drivers when they are racing?
In your opinion, do these precautions go far enough to make the sport safe?
Precautions are things to be aware about. To take precaution is like to be aware of something. Yes it will make the sport safe because if you are aware that there is a big hill you will know what to do.

6. Use details from the text to tell why the sport is dangerous.
It is dangerous because you could drift of the track or if you don’t check you oil or water your car could blow up. Also you could crash and crush your self or brake your bones.

7. What is your opinion of motor sport? Could you see yourself being a formula 1 driver? Why or why not would you want to do this sport? I am not interested in racing cars I think I’m better at something else. I don’t see myself in any racing career.

Ultra Dance Fever


Today Room 10 and I went down to the hall to learn a dance routine from two sweet as instructors from dance fever, Captain and Christine. They are really solid dancers.

Our first lesson was today and it was a hip-hop routine. It was hard in the begging but we picked it up really well. Personally I always doubt my abilities.

But I really enjoyed the lessons. I loved the humor and enjoyment everyone had. I cant wait to see how it turns out in ten weeks.

Education



Your dumb!!!Have you ever felt so disappointed and embarrassed in yourself when someone lends you a book to read but you can’t read it? Today in the society heaps of people still don’t know how to read and write. We believe that education is the key to achieve education goals and successfulness in life, because if you don’t complete our education your family will struggle in life with money, food and raising a family, that's why you need to find a good job by completing your education, get good money, get good food and good clothes. When you have all these things, good education, and a good job you will be  able to pay your own house bills and keep your family in shape. Also you can be able to get better education for your children and generations to come. 

School is very important! Go to school learn as much as you can and don’t leave an energy working. Now lets look at what happens when you don’t have a good education or you drop out of school. The possibilities of a good life when you drop out of school and you don’t have a job is you’ll be on the run from the police rob stores and houses or end up in the streets starving to death with a criminal record.


First of all, to achieve in school, we need to participate in class even if its boring or not interesting. For example, get information from your teachers and others as much as you can. You don’t know, after 5 or 6 more years you can get an University degree and study any of your favourite subjects in the future.


Furthermore,  to “Working Hard” why? Because you can get a good job. In addition, you'll work hard to accomplish goals and always make your name and family name proud when you reach the level of master degree in anything you do. Family is also important in education. If you don't have a good family e.g


Equally important,  get a good job. For example, get money and buy resources for your family when they need it. Furthermore, raise your family in a positive way, always, and I mean always provide healthy good food on the table and most importantly a shelter above their heads.


In fact, if you accomplish your education goals you will have a successful life in future, you can be anything you want if you put your mind to it. If you work hard you won’t have to struggle in life and raising a family wouldn't be such a pain. Listen to what your parents and teachers say about school because their education wasn't as good as ours, your parents goals are to achieve the best for you. Your parents are only concerned for education and . Just imagine if everyone in the world had a successful great education, we would have a great world with people being able to afford the good things in life instead of being poor, we would have jobs not guns, knifes and trying to rob a bank.


Quotes: “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”  ~Will Durant.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
~Nelson Mandela.
Quotes from great leaders can put a lot of impact in your life, not bad impact but it could be a great impact. The message is, anyone can be anything if you set your mind, heart and all your effort into it. So take care and go hard in your learning and everything you do.

Perimeter of 2D shapes


WALT find the Perimeter of 2D shapes

Formulae:

Perimeter of a Square = side + side + side + side or 4 x side
Example: The perimeter of a square of side  5cm = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm or 4 x 5 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following squares:

The perimeter of a square of side  10cm = 40cm
The perimeter of a square of side  25cm =100cm
The perimeter of a square of side  5m =20cm
The perimeter of a square of side  50m =200
The perimeter of a square of side  1km =4km

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + width + length + width or 2 x l + 2 x w
Example: The perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6cm and width is 4cm = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm or 2 x 6 + 2 x 4= 12 + 8 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles whose lengths and widths are given below:

Rectangle 1 - length is 8cm and width is 5cm
Perimeter = ? 26cm

Rectangle 2 - length is 10cm and width is 7cm
Perimeter = ?32cm

Rectangle 3 - length is 8m and width is 6m
Perimeter = ?26m

Rectangle 4 - length is 16m and width is 10m
Perimeter = ?52m

Rectangle 5 - length is 4km and width is 2km
Perimeter = ?12m

Evaluation: Today I learnt to work out the perimeter of 2D shapes
