Tangaroa Week 1 Reflection

This year I have moved into a new classroom, which as had both, ups and downs. I have tried my hardest to sign-up for activities and different challenges, one being Adrenaline Forest which I signed up for straight as I heard about it.

Positives: 

In 2 weeks time we go to Spencer Park for a year 7-8 camp, I’m very excited for have Tyler and Bentley as my tent buddies, I am also very excited for Adrenaline Forest which is included extra in the camp that you can sign-up for!          I love Tangaroa so much! It has been so good that every morning I’m actually really excited for school, Unbelievable ay?

Challenges:

I have faced only a few challenges in my first 3 days of  Tangaroa, one being signing up for things in time before the opportunity is gone. I have also struggled leaving a few of my close friends behind back in Tane Mahuta.. I still see them daily but its gonna be weird not working and being in the same working space as them, but luckily I’ll be able to have them back next year!! I really hope that this is gonna be a year with few problems and drama.

 

I have so far enjoyed working in the big senior class and hope more good outcomes to come flowing in! I have a great friend group and some very nice, and kind teachers helping me through my journey in Tangaroa! I’m in Nicole’s group and she is so nice, kind and helpful to me! I’m hoping to try learn and take all the opportunity’s that this class gets!

I’m looking forward to see what next week brings!!

Minecraft CRT – 2024 Maze

With Jaxon & Ben, during our CRT sessions with Elizabeth.  Our maze has a perimeter of 196. We used a palette of Mangrove wood and nether brick and copper for the walls.  We dug out the grass and replaced this with mossy brick and wood and a bit of honey to slow the player down.  

We went with a dungeon theme for our Hohenga, Action Maze.  Our entrance looks like a wood forest with obsidian taking over. 

We have a redstone trap area that is to make the maze more difficult to solve and get the player confused.  One section of our maze goes underground, but be careful some parts are dark!  If you get through the underground maze it will lead you back up to the top and then you’re not far from the exit.

 

My Statistical Investigation!

This is my blog post about the data Me, Nate & Luca found out, we created a pie char and a bar graph, to show you the amount of minutes people can run before getting puffed/tired, it took us a whole week! It was really fun to make!!

How long can you run before getting puffed/tired??

Our Three Statments:

  1. The most common time ran was 4-6 with 7 people combined with both genders.
  2. The hardest part of the task was to get the girls to try our project.
  3. Boy’s combined got a better time than the girls which makes the Boy’s the winners!!

Genre Swap – The Old Mans Couch

This is my genre swap about a story when an old man bought a new avocado green couch and then the cat started scratching at it and then the couch broke.

Once upon a time there lived an old man called Phil, he brought a new avocado green couch, he also had a cat named Bobby Jason. One day he came into his living room and he looked at the couch with horror, his cat was sitting there as big as a fridge on a table. He just ate the whole couch.. The old man just stood there “Whoa..” As he joined in and the both started eating the couch together!

What do you think about my strange, weird, scary story??
