I bet you didn't know these things about Maori culture that I do and you don't

 Hej hej, I have come forth from the cave of wisdom once more to inform you homo sapiens about knowledge I have encountered throughout my journey. I have learnt throughout my Inquiry learning about culture *wow* but specifically Maori culture. In Maori culture there are many things that makes them different, like how they greet. But I was given 3 things to research and put it into slide for you guys to read.

Best animation of 2020 hands down and super interesting

 Hej hej, I have returned from my slumber inside the cave of wisdom. I will share with you my wisdom I have learnt this week, which today's topic will be a game of the name Ki o Rahi. This maori game is simple to learn an play, you have boundaries marked by cone which is best to colour code it. On the outskirts are cones the players on the outside have to touch for points, each cone is one point, and one layer in is where more players are placed in (note: no players are allowed to leave their areas and go into other ones) and they are used to get a better shot at the trash can. One more layer in and there is where 4 people being the common amount go in to defend or attack the bin. The point of the bin is when you get your points from the cone you have to throw the ball and hit the bin to bank in those points, if you drop the ball or get the ball stolen or deflected by an opposing player you lose the points and its a turn over if you haven't scored. That is all I can remember about the game so far, try it out with family and/or friends if you get the chance.

Here is the link to the Animation:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR1NXJ-vYqNdmj9aiycnBVobtzLyfbB478tZQD9vmTHk8nZcdbem8OqDPDQ6BvVeGYKK3foNXa_RkfI/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=2000

How to cook, but you don't get to use your stove

 Hej hej, i am back. This week i have researched culture, specifically Maori culture. Our first thing to research was how to cook hangi and what they are. A Hangi is a traditional way of cooking in Maori culture which was to dig a hole and start a fire and burn some rocks in it, after the fire dies out you put sacks around the hole to protect from excess dirt and put in some kai baskets with meat at the bottom then vege's in the middle and stuffing in the top. Then you would put some blankets over it and cover it in soil and wait for it to be cooked, but with advancements of technology the way to hangi has changed too. Now you use this metal thing that works like a hangi but more advanced. I have made a poster about it and would like to show you.

Ok goodbye now.

ROCKET VIDEO BUT ITS A BAD MOVIE

 Hej hej, I'm back  again  for the most posts in a week  I've ever done. I have made a video about my rocket  experience and a video about laws. You'll know everything about it once you see it.

ViDEO

Ok bye bye

GRAVITY EGG

 Hej hej, I have returned.

This week i have made my very own experiment to conduct around gravity. I will put a link to our slide that contains all our information including a link to our science report that you can check out. 

Science Report

OK bye bye.

LANGUAGE OF THE HANDS

 Hej hej, Im back. I learnt that sign language is very important to my country and i learnt a little bit of sign language too! I learnt numbers, letters, colours and more and I will show you a video of me saying my name to you in sign language.

Id like to see you say your name in sign language to if you can try.

OK bye bye

SPACE MODULE ABOUT FLOWERS!!!

Hej hej, it's me the blogger man and I come to you with the revolutionary B.O.I.S.S Module (Botany observation in space station)! I had to research the ISS and find out what's its purpose is, which it is an observatory/lab/space home for astronauts and cosmonauts to do different tasks like observe space and do space lab stuff. I saw that the ISS didn't have a botany research facility and I thought I would add a module to the ISS that would specify the growth and ability of plant growth in space.

 Ask any questions about my module and how it works!

OKEH BYE BYE

BOTTLE ROCKETS AND A COMPETITION (I WON)

 Hej hej, I'm back again with great news. I have won a rocket competition in my class in groups spanning from 2-5 the average being 3 people in a group, and each group would have specific people doing specific task like health advisor and rocket designer. I made the entire rocket and was in charge of it's designs, I must've done something right because I made the best rocket in the class. But enough about me and now about the task at hand, for inquiry we learnt about rockets and laws o motion in order to create our own rocket. Here is our 53 second video of me, Hamish and Tane launching our rocket.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSinXWfQIFS9hr07n28PUCEMy0TLBeX5vHDUgfb-EY94wp-BEUhqwaEVlO6U_rbJ0tfaxFirmHA_eeZ/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000

OK bye bye.

Lines of words that make sense to computers and not me

 Hej hej, I'm back with some news skillz (I'm too cool I know). I learnt how to partly code in python using the website codester.com, I can read a bit too and tell what it does. I did a PSA (Public Streaming Announcement) on the issue of littering, I did it because I find it an issue about the world that kills many and ruins this world. This message is for everyone but it has some modern day 'meme' slang that children and adults combined who watch 'memes' will understand more than others. 

Here are 3 pictures if my PSA and the code I used (some text cuts off because it's too long.)

I tried making this appealing to every audience by making it move so it appeals to younger audience, make it say 'meme' slang to appeal to older children, so that when adults see they ask their children what it means so the pay attention.

To get a better understanding of python, line 17 that says sprite.move_up(80) is telling the garbage to move up on the background by 80 small steps.

OK goodbye

SCIENCE (NOTHING MORE THAN SCIENCE I PROMISE)

 Hej hej, I'm back with another episode of SCHOOL (BEST THING IN THE WORLD)! This week I did science with a side of nothing, and it worked out for the most part. I did the science, got the results, and got the Friday off to tell you what I did!! (I didn't get the day off) 

If you'd like the science report of all the things I and my buddy Rico did you can check this out on this link!

If you'd like a small rundown i learnt how planes fly, made a plan for what I would do with my new found knowledge, created planes I would use for the test flight, asked for measuring tape, made a spreadsheet to markdown results, did test flights and then did normal plane flights, and slapped it on to a beautiful report that I will say again, you can click on the link above and read.

That will be all for today viewers, I will take my leave.

Adios.

Rockets and failing parachutes (Made by me)

 Hej hej,

I have mode some test parachutes for the Wonder project. What's the Wonder project you ask? Well it's a project where you make your own rockets and once done you can launch your very own rocket! We were currently in the process of learning about parachutes and making them by scratch using only the materials we were given. I will give you the step by step program on how I made my parachute

1. I made a circle prototype using newspaper, a cloth rag and string. It was my start off idea and I attached a pencil to it that managed to float for about 1 second instead plummeting to the ground, so it was my base for the finished project.

2. I made a bigger version of the prototype and added a little bit more of tape, i thought it did good with the pencil so on went the two cogs that we had to fly down and the parachute folded on itself.

3.I then added some paper towels for more strength but it didn't work too well so I brainstormed some more ideas.

4. I had the idea of putting some string and taping it on to the places where the parachute was folding in and it stopped folding in on itself when falling, so now there's an x of string on the top of the chute that allows it to fall.

5. to hold the cogs in place one of my team members decided to incase the two hex nuts in layers of tape and material which added safety and weight, too much weight.

The final outcome looks like this - 

You can see the tape, the nut holder, the materials, and the string.

Overall from roughly 3-5 meter height it flew 2.3 seconds which isn't too bad might I say myself.

OK byebye

Monday mashup on friday!

MATHS
For maths we did sorcery and magic squares which, for your information, is a 3 by 3 square which in each row has to equal the magic number of your choosing or the set number. lets say we have 3 fours and 3 fives and lastly 3 sixes. It would look like the picture below.

5	4	6
6	5	4
4	6	5

Each row either going horizontal, diagonally or vertically it has to add up to the magic number which here is 15.

INQUIRY

There is a small task we had to complete which is to play a game of tic tac toe but you had to complete the tasks on the square so I have brought you my first completion. A landscape of an alien planet created by the man himself, me.

THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN TODAY, I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY AND BETTER DAYS, GOODBYE

THE SUNS BIG TANTRUMS AND HOW THE MAKE THE SKY BRIGHTER (late post)

Hej Hej, welcome back to another minecraft episode. Today we will be learning about Auroras, specifically the Australis. First of all lets talk about how Auroras are made.
We start at the sun, which from afar looks relatively peaceful until you get a closer look at it and see that it is vomiting something called a coronal mass ejection or cme for short which is just a massive heat wave in space. It travels through space at 9 million k/ph, and when it hits Earth nothing much happens for 2 reasons - the Earth's magnetic field and the ozone layer. The Earth's magnetic field is strong enough to push these mass projections of the sun into another direction so that it goes around the Earth and anything that gets through the magnetic field would die out from the protection of the ozone layer. But the particles that don't get deflected by the magnetic field can go to the north and south pole causing nothing much but the energetically charged particles that came from the blast to ruffle up the oxygen and nitrogen atoms, to get all excited for some visitors and then to start glowing making an Aurora.


For more information about the cme's and auroras check out these links;

Thank you all for coming and I hope you join us for another time, and always wear clothes to the public.

BIg brain maths

Hej hej, This week I have been solving some maths involving expressing patterns and making prediction in algebra. One day I had to find out this equation/solution to this problem which I had gotten in an hour and a bit but I wont tell you the answer to the problem so I can see your answers and reply to them.

Your problem is to solve the triangular number of 99, and the change is just what happens to the equation like if its adding. Alright it is time for me to leave and check your answers in a weeks time to see if they are correct.

MY TIME HAS COME - THE HOST

Global issues are a no no thing and they should be stopped

Hej hej, itsa me, I have been doing research on global issues and its pretty disgusting what happens around the world and what happened. There are so many terrible things that happen that are plain discriminatory and inequal, and then I was given the task along with my classmates to pick a picture through out the litter and write what we thought was the story behind the picture in front. I chose this picture with my thought behind it.

It's a picture of a little girl being escorted by other older men most likely to protect her from harms way.

Alright that's time, See ya next time - THE HOST

Haha funny comic you wont make it past the 6th panel

Hej Hej, Itsa me, I have made a funny comic to do with a global issue, Gender inequality. Gender inequality is a bad thing in the world and it affects many, I have made a comic using a situational irony which is what you think happens, is wrong and it's the exact opposite. DISCLAIMER this is purely for laughs and if you take any offence please leave a comment and I'll explain it to you in detail what is what you find wrong about it.

BY Rico and Sam

The irony is that you thought I would have left him alone and let him live but I KILLED him!

Thanks for reading the haha funny comic and thanks to my friend Rico for being Male in this comic strip and I hope you enjoyed and leave any feedback if you have any.

I DID SWIRLY ART WITH LOT OF COLOUR IT LOOKS SO GOOD

Hej Hej, Your host again, I have made art, not any old type of art though, swirly art, with many colours. It's actually Koru art, a koru is a plant that spirals into a circle. It's a pretty plant and got turned into art by the Maori and it was also made into necklaces (foreshadowing) each having a meaning behind it like the whale tail koru means to keep strong. Anyways the koru art is really pretty and my class had made it and some made really simple koru art and others very detailed. Just like some kids used three colours to main and others (me) used the whole rainbow of colours.

This is my art, and here is a tip, eat a pack of crayons and when your about to puke make sure to get you kory art and do it all over that. DISCLAIMER don't do that, that's bad. Tune in next time for the next post.

I made A WEBSITE omg so cool

Dia Dhuit, fellow recipients, I am your host for the blog post and today I will show you a website I created for a BOOK. And this book is non other than The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, a Sci-Fi book of fiction but has some story. In my website I identify and write about it's themes, characters, genres and symbols. I have recently made a subpage in themes about one if it's themes known as meaningful and meaningless. It has examples, title, conclusion, pictures and words, so it's pretty good. If you want to check it out I will leave a link down below but here's a picture of the page.

DISCLOSURE: it doesn't have the change image, reset or header type on the page.

School, Part 1 out of 1 (Gone Violent)

Hola amigos, I'm back in school and fighting for my LIFE!!! Well not really... My main struggle is getting out of bed, what's yours? I shall be making a remix for this blog post and doing a three in one special just for you and not because it is a must do at my school.

Numeracy
For Numeracy I did some math with numbers, It's really just some algebra and trying to find some equations with the info given to me. To break it down more Tia gets $2.50 a day in a week and Tom doesn't know how to save money and spends the 20 bucks he got off the street and goes into massive debt. I made a chart to show my work and my thinking of the equations.

Literacy
For literacy I had to research and write how sound and objects move in space, it wasn't too hard but I'm not saying it was easy. According to my research it's somewhat correct, I think it's good and I can now brag about knowing something most people won't. This is my pieces of work.

Add on
For a fun task we made a timebox and letters for future generations about how this time of not fun was like. Its full of what it was like and what happened and most importantly me. It was too big to take an image of so if you want to see it here is the linkvhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sz5NhrQNciu3y-7M5SlylzyOa52BXu0jNyM8iOVyI0M/edit?usp=sharing

Adios viewers and until next week probably, ME

The Ultimate Birthday cake to make any cooking show jealous (I'm talking mostly to Gordon Ramsey)

Oiga Bean Burritos, I had a special task today and that was to create my dream cake, wanna see my dream cake? If you said yes than ok and if you said no your a donkeh.

Its a Minecraft themed cake of a TNT block with 5 layers on the inside being all rainbow with flavors corresponding to its colour, the outside being coated in frosting of the colours red, black and grey. I added a special element to the cake and to make it more like a TNT block a put in actual TNT! Just kidding its popping candy.
How do you like my cake and would you eat it?
Hasta luego taco chompers.

Impossible obstacle course OoO

Hello Burrito Blankets, I hope that give you a greeting of welcome and promise and I hope you have a nice day. Today I looked through 8 activities I am encouraged to do and I chose the one that would benefit me the most and yet least and made my hecking socks wet, an obstacle course! It was a rough sketch idea at first but then using my will power I made it happen and created the most outstanding obstacle course. I'll give you photos of this wonder and tell you how to complete it.

You start at the wall and to the tramp get the basketball and make a basket from inside the tramp, once made you go to the skipping rope and bunny hop side to side to the end. You made it to the laundry basket now go in it and crawl to the chairs which you shall hurdle on by one, no cheating. Once the hurdles are done go to the tramp again and make another basket but times three and once completed go back to the wall you started on and completed obstacle course check. 

I had fun making this and if you would like to replicate it send pictures of it. 

Adios, peace out.

Only 99.9%of people can finish this without their brain dying!

Yo Dawgs, burrito bros, taco timers, after a week of not posting due to my laziness I bring you a activity to do! I made six common phrases as an activity for you to do and for me to not get in trouble, the phrases on the left are based on food phrases and on the right are animal phrases.

In the comments (if anyone reads this) guess what phrases these are, and if you want to leave me some to do too!
Adios, peace out.

My Timetable that will most indubitably use (and an achievement)

Hola Burritos and Burritoettes, I have begun online classes and am wondering if i should set up a raid (just kidding). I did two things today and I'm very proud of one which is do a cyber smart quiz which I had gotten 22/22 on. The next thing i did was timetable planning out my days so I know what I'm going today.

You can see what I'm going to do throughout the day and when. It will be throughout Monday and Friday so on the weekends I can ruin that schedule and dread it on Sunday.

Edit: Looks like I was woken up to early to do work an forgot to add my name and year so just imagine Sam on the name and 2020 on the year. 

Hasta luego exploradores de el internet.

Book Cover (Such Great art)

Hola Burrito Bros, although we are all stuck in quarantine, I will try to keep up with my blogging. So one of my quarantine activities was create a book cover, front and back, and make a title and blurb on the back. Here is my front and back cover for my book that probably won't be written...

I drew all of the pictures digitally. I hope you enjoy and if you do want me to write a story about this leave a comment saying why.
P.S. Stay inside, don't spread the virus, and enjoy quarantine.

Samoan Scratch Game!!!111!!1!!11

Hola taco boiiiiiiiiis,We are learning Samoan every Wednesday and over the last two weeks we have been learning how to count to ten.  I found this quite easy as it is very similar to counting to 10 in Maori.  Today we used Scratch to code a programme that would show people how to count to ten in Samoan.  Check it out!  Can you count to 10 in any other language?

Bye BUrrito BRos

Statistics... yay

Hola Beanie Bros, I have made some statistics for a sport I enjoy - football! For the first sheet I made statistics about goals and assists, and on the other sheet I made one on defensive statistics (might add other). We used mean, median, mode and range to analyse them. Hasta luego ninos

How to talk like Morgan Freeman (not really)

How to have a good conversation on Biteable.
Hello taco brothers, For my inquiry we made a short video on how to make a good conversation. There are a lot of pauses but I think it was good. If you follow these tips you might have a better conversation, I wouldn't now because I don't talk to people. Hasta luego burrito bros

Menu of food I can definitely cook

Hello Taco Bros, for literacy I made this thing to reduce food waste and made menus for what I would I eat throughout the week. I am now hungry so I will make these meals and eat. Hasta luego burrito bois

Extraordinary, Brilliant, Magnificent, Stupendous Portrait of Moi

Hola fellow tacos! It's the time of year where teachers make us draw our inner passions and throw it up on a piece of paper! Yay, I am quite good at drawing or so I've been told by mummy and daddy,but I colour like a newborn baby. It's supposed to be realistic, but we're allowed to put a touch of cartoon. It's about my interests, my culture, my innermost desires and wills, oh and it's also that people can learn a bit about me.

Here it is...

As you can see, I like and own a dog, not the best drawing but he is called Milo and is a Caboodle (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and poodle cross).

In the bottom right corner is me crashing into bed because i'm always tired. The top is sports I enjoy doing, personal hobbies and the shark is a finishing detail.

The left is my passion for art and some random doodles I slapped on with the might of Zeus (Personal favorite is the very special Peter Griffin).

On the Right is my wide eyed dog Milo and my love of food. And my portrait of myself with the face I make every hour, minute and second - EVEN MILLISECONDS! - of the day.

My family is from Colombia (top left of the drawing is the national flag) and NZ (flag is the very top right of the portrait).

 The artist that this portrait style is ever so slightly based upon is Romero Britto, he is quite a good artist from Brazil who does portraits of famous people in abstract. Have you heard of him or seen any of his artwork? They are really bright and fun, I advise you to check them out.

 Hasta luego burrito bros.

Writing Essay

Waste of resources. Waste of resources is a big problem around the world, the United States averages 11,700 kWh each year. I feel like this is an important topic because over use of electricity will mean over working of power plants, and then more carbon emissions that melt the ice caps therefore destroying the ozone layer leading to global warming. A waste of resources is a big crisis and one of the main is excessive use of heat and electricity, it is a common waste in many organisations. People at work would use unnecessary resources like leaving taps on or leaving machines on that will which lead to pollution. Some of the main causes of the waste of resources are leaving the door open when using fans or air conditioning, leaving the water running, and leaving lights on or devices that use electricity. Nevertheless I think we should be more careful when using our resources, like only use lights only when needed, not when the blinds are open in the middle of the day. When using water like maybe in a shower maybe put a timer on for 5 minutes to tell you how much time to stay in the shower. And remembering to not leave any doors or windows open or dad will yell at you for leaving them open while having the aircon on.
