Curious cove camp

 On Wednesday the fourth of November at Curious cove, I was in a group and we did rotations of three groups and three activities. The three activities were: games in the rec hall, fishing off the wharf, and kayaking. When my group went and did kayaking we did races, I came about second place in all of them.

After a couple of races(like one race) we did a raft up. A raft up is when a group of kayakers or people in boats. They all then line their boats up in the water and swap boats. Me and Isaac swapped kayaks in the water. When we swapped kayaks I ran across the tops of everyone's kayaks to get to Isaac’s kayak. When he went to go to my kayak which was on the other side of the raft, he then attempted to crawl to it and it was funny when he almost fell off the kayaks.

When everyone left the raft up I wanted to change kayaks again because it was fun the first time and Kaylis also wanted to try changing kayaks so we tried to change kayaks without a raft up. Long story short I jumped on to his kayak and mine drifted away in the water and I was left grasping onto Kaylis’s kayak and I almost sunk it. Luckily Tara in my class looked after my kayak while an adult(I think it was Kaylis’s dad) got me in his kayak and took me to mine. 

After that we did some more races and then put the kayaks away. Me and Kaylis were laughing like mad men because of the whole James Bond mixed with Mission Impossible thing I did. So morle of this story don’t try to change kayaks when you aren’t in a raft up.

Liars Dice board game

On the 16th of November our class DHT started making board games, well they actually started off as a normal game then a math game then finally a board game. Yeah it's confusing and it was annoying. So me and my friend Lee decided to make a game from a video game/NIRL that that NIRL game got from IRL so yeah. It is called Liars dice but in NIRL game I recall it being called bluff(I think but it's been ages since I've acctually played it). 

So it the things you need to play it is a bit much because 5 dice per played. So if you can guess we made it a two player game because our teacher wouldn't give us any more than that. I won't get to into detail about the game or the instructions because they are like long and confusing so I'll give you a couple links so you can check the sites out yourselves.

Accountability and Responsibility Form

 Accountability and Responsibility form

What would I like to see changed on our class Google Form?

1. What is your goal for next week? Homeroom and learning related
2. Explain why you have given yourself these ratings. Can you give any examples to support this?
3. On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you think you have managed your learning time in Homeroom?
4. Have you completed the Friday Blog? (This includes uploading to your blog, adding an explanation, labels and title)

These aren't really needed because you would know if someone hasn't done it. 

Everyone does pretty much the same learning time.

It's kind of explainable below 5 is almost always "I didn't do any work." and above 5 is always a "I've done lots of work." and lastly you have put 'what is your goal for next week? With a What is something you think you may need to improve on next week?' Its like the same.

Enviromental Issue

W.A.L.T find an enviromental issue we are passionate about.

For a inqury project, our class (DHT) is writing about an enviromental issue. Read this post to find out what I'm doing for my enviromental issue. 

• What is my enviromental issue? My issue is the eradication of animals and their habitats.

• Why I've chosen this issue? Because it's a problem how people say certain animals like sharks are really dangerous and make them appear to be something from hell and how much people they have killed but we are worse than any living creature.

• Who I am working with and why? For this project Josh is my partner(Link to his blog: https://wsjoshuae.blogspot.com) because he tends to have good ideas and he has been to Australia Zoo and see animals like snakes and other animals like that.
• What is a cause for this enviromental issue? People take land from wildlife and turn it into farmland or house plots.

        

My Goals for term 3

W.A.L.T inform our audience about how I will achieve our class goal for term 3.

• Respect looks like: Not touching other peoples stuff.

• O.C Pride looks like: Wearing correct uniform, not vandalising school property.(Really you shouldn’t be vandalising any type of property)Unless it’s the labour signs j.k j.k nah not sorry

This is how I’ll achieve it this week. I’ll come to school on time with all my stuff including a charged chrome book, Wearing correct uniform, getting all my work handed to the teacher by the end of the week, and listening to the teacher and not getting any warnings.

Algebra

W.A.L.T use in ALGEBRA the Order Of Operations correctly.

What I have learnt in algebra this week: I have learnt that letters represent numbers. I also learnt why you use letters in algebra instead of blank spots.

Why is it important: The letters are easier to say, type, write, and they are just so much faster.
