Good Day, Reader.

Blogging twice in a day is pretty rare for me, considering that I barely blog at all. But I’ve got the motivation to complete my blogs so I don’t get called out for it by Whaea Lorraine. Back to the actual blog, Easter. The day where easter eggs are in season, otherwise known as the day Jesus Christ woke up 3 days after being Crucified. It doesn’t mean much to me since I’m not christian, but I do know about it since I have Christian friends. I do like it a bit since there are Easter Sales on a lot of stuff, or Easter Eggs, but other than that, I don’t really celebrate Easter. But for those who do, please do tell  what you guys do on Easter, since I  want to learn what to do in Easter.

What does Easter mean to you?

Heya Reader.

This blog is a big jump from somewhere around Week 6 or 5 to Week 11, but I can’t really focus on my current work if I’m blogging about work I’ve done in the past, although I can only blame myself since I don’t blog my work. So I’m pretty much putting the workload onto myself. Back to the topic of the blog, Natural Disasters, some of us have experienced at least on natural disaster, like tornados, earthquakes, eruptions, all of that, stuff like that gets spread across the news, to let people know of what either happened, or what’s about to happen. Something similar happened somewhere around in 2023, called Cyclone Gabrielle, but that’s for another day. Kiwi Kids News is a online platform you can find on (i’m guessing) most browsers, I’m not sure if you can find Natural Disasters on here, but it has the word “News” in it, so I’m relating it off that. There are multiple articles on Kiwi Kids News, with Ben, he get you to write about one article everytime he’s here. Although I’ve only ever finished the first one he’s ever gave me, it was kind of confusing when I came back on the next wednesday. Since Ben was on the 6th News Writing. So I’ve been conflicted thinking whether or not I should either do the 2nd or the current one.

Compared to my other pieces of work, this is actually pretty bad, but you’re the one to judge. So what do you think of it?

Good morning, Reader.

It’s been about a day or so since I last posted, which is actually better than expected from myself since I barely blog nowadays. The topic of this blog post would be my Favorite food, my teacher would call it Dish writing. It’s where you write about a dish and each of it’s ingredients. One part of my writing would be rice, another part is chicken, that’s pretty much how it works. My favorite dish is Aaloo Chicken, which literally translates to Potato (and) Chicken. It doesn’t have the word rice in the actual name, but it does (or should) come alongside the Chicken and Potato for a proper dish. Or you could just eat the Chicken and Potato, but it’s much better with rice in my opinion. You could also mix a bit of the broth with the rice, so you can get a proper flavored dish with a rich source of protein, or something like that. Just a reminder, just because it’s my favorite dish, doesn’t mean I’m trying to influence you into making it your favorite dish, I just would like to show you something I had growing up. Even if I did try influencing you into liking it, there’s still a small chance that you wouldn’t even like the taste.

What’s your favorite food?

Good morning, Reader.

I went to Kiwican for the first time this year, (I missed out last week since I was sick.) So I didn’t get a chance to participate in GKQ, which stands for General Knowledge Questions. I always get so close to winning, then I get asked a sports or sports brand question, which always sets me off since I don’t know anything about sports. But it’s always fun to get like 6 answers in a row, the topic for Kiwican this week was Positive Communication, and the country was China. The energizer we had was called “Compliment Circle”, the way the game works is somewill will stand up, the rest of the group will form a circle around them and/or the person standing up will go into the center of that circle, the person picks who goes first and either goes clockwise or counter clockwise from them, when it’s your turn, you have to give the person standing up (a) compliment/s. It’s a fun game when you’re the one standing up, it’s also funny to see someone struggling to make a compliment on the spot, but it always works out well. GKQ was as it always is, I never expect GKQ to be bad, It’s always funny to see people struggling over the easiest questions, but then answer the hardest questions with ease, it makes no sense to me honestly.

(I don’t have a DLO since I don’t remember much from Kiwican other than the Activities.)

What’s your best memory of Kiwican?

Good morning, Reader.

I haven’t posted about anything other than Technology this year, so I suppose I should actually post about something I’ve done and finished. I did this work with Ben a while ago, but I was too lazy to ever post anything but my Technology, either way I should probably get back onto what this Blog is about. The Snow Leopard, one of the Predators of snow, the Snow Leopard is a precious animal, usually either taken care of when they’re younger, or left out in the wild to reproduce, Despite usually being slightly taller than half a meter, they can jump to over 10 times their height, like most mammals in the Feline Family. Just like tigers, their fur (usually) matches the environment around them, with snowy areas being the best camouflage for them. The Snow Leopards are believed to have come from Central or South Asian mountains. They may not be the safest animal to take care of, but they are certainly cute. Baby photos of Snow Leopards are really satisfying to look at, there’s also been a photo where they were using a baby bottle to feed a baby Snow Leopard some milk, it was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.

Heya reader.

I should’ve probably blogged this somewhere on Wednesday or Tuesday. But I’m doing it now becaues I’m very lazy, but Lorraine’s (my teacher) has told me to do the rest of my blogs today, so I’ll start with this one first, and I’ll probably (not) do the next blogs at home, but I’ll make sure to do the rest somewhere in the weekends straight after I get home. Anyways I’m getting off task, Tech was really fun this week, we’re still doing the same thing but I couldn’t progress anymore since I accidentally broke my wooden panel, so I have to restart since the glue she bought didn’t work. It’s still gonna be good for me since I know what to do and what mistakes I shouldn’t make. It’ll also be good for me since I can get to see what I get to do when I finish from other people. This makes it so I can prepare myself for the thermal throttling or the use of the machines.

What do you think of wood art?

Good morning reader. It’s been about a week, I’ve only ever blogged about my Tech this year, I wish to do more but I have some other things on my mind other than school. But it doesn’t really matter in this blog, so I’ll get back to the topic. Tech has been really fun this year, the Hard Materials teacher is a really cool teacher, She’s a cool teacher with humor, she gets along well with her students and has a funny personality, the most recent thing we did in tech (after the string art) was Thermal Throttling. You’d heat up a big piece of plastic, wait until it become hot enough to wrap around something, and become a case of some sort. It was fun to see her do it, there’s a pump where it exhales air to properly wrap around the wood. I’m excited to see what we learn next and I’m looking forward to it.

(The Plastic was much cleaner than the image.)

Heya reader. It’s been a pretty long time since I blogged. About a few months ago, or technically last year. It was still a pretty long time ago either way. Every monday if you’re a year 7-8, you’ll be going to Papakura Intermidiate for Technology. And at technology, there are three classes you rotate through each term. For the first three terms, you rotate through each class after each term, the classes are Hard Materials, Cooking, and Design and Visual Communication. For term 4, you don’t go to tech, since you pretty much finished every class in tech. If you’re a year 7 you attend Tech again next year as a year 8. This year, I’m attending Hard Materials, what we’re doing in Hard Materials at the moment is making a Monogram String Art on a 135mm x 135mm wooden square. It’s about 1-2 cm thick and is 135mm in width. Before we do the String art, we make a squarish letter on a piece of paper, We rule the 135mm line onto the paper to make sure it’ll fit onto the wood square. After you’re done with that, you hammer some nails into a piece of wood, To practice how you’re going to hammer nails into the Wooden Square. After you think you’re pretty good at hammering nails in, you’re given your Wooden Square and told nicely to hammer in smaller nails about 10mm into the square. We haven’t done the string part yet, but I’, looking forward to it.

(Not the actual picture but it looks similar.)

What have you done with wood before?

Blub, Reader. (I have no idea why I just said that but I’m going with it.) How’ve you been? Good? Bad? Well I can’t know that so, I’ll just assume how you feel (good). Guessing by the title, you’re probably wondering why it has “Japanese Pufferfish” In it, in which is also has SLJ/Summer Learning Journey, which is pretty much the New Zealand version of Summer School but online pretty much, My class and many others were to complete the tasks they give us, in which, is making a Japanese Pufferfish (Fugu) in Google Drawing, I slightly went off track since my pufferfish looks more normal than Japanese. But I spent too much of my time on it so I’m still blogging it.

What do you think of this Pufferfish, Reader?

Heya reader, it’s our prizegiving today, I have about half an hour before morning tea starts, and about straight after that, it’s our prizegiving, so this might be my last blog post for the year (I seriously doubt it but it could be true). Just made a simple word search puzzle, I’m not trying to put some random meaningful sentence behind it, it’s just a normal word search with an ocean theme. But it was given to us via our Summer Learning Journey. Which is something that would help us keep our current intelligence over the Christmas Holidays, but I’d just do it for the fun activities, alright reader, have fun, I’m done with the blog post. Here’s the link to the crossword.
