The characters we used were Alice, Todd, Denny, Clara. The people that were in the trailer were Ashton, Shanaya, Alexia. The characters that they were was Ashton as Alice, Shanaya as Todd, Alexia as Denny and I(Carla) was Clara. We used Kinemaster and Ibis paint to edit and make stuff for the trailer. It was easy to use Kinemaster because I have used it before and it is a easy and simple site to use. Here is our video.

Playing To Win - Chapter 8 - 9

Today we have reading. Our task this week is to do our normal discussion questions because there is no school on Friday. If this chapter there was a fight with Denny and Todd. Todd has been playing with Denny's car because hes jelly of him. There is a lot of drama going on with Denny and Todd. Here is our discussion questions and answers are. 

Denny has lots of responsibilities in his life; he helps his Mum with finances, has a job, he takes care of his sisters and is part of a team. Do you think these are reasonable responsibilities for a sixteen year old? Why or why not? I think this is to much for a sixteen year old to deal with in his life because he also has school to do. It is bad to put so much stuff on teens because it makes them stressed and they think it is there purity to do it.


What responsibilities do you have in your life? How do you manage them and make sure you are completing everything you are trusted to do? Think about what you do at school and at home or in your spare time.  For me I don't have much responsibilities at home or at school. I get my school work done in time and I don't need reminders to do it.

Denny feels pressured to drink at the party, but he still says no. Why do you think the boys were pressuring him? Why do you think it is important to stand up for your beliefs? What values do you think he was showing by saying no to underaged drinking? I think that they are pressuring him because they think he is a pussy and that because he is older enough he is allowed to drink. I think it is important to stand up for your beliefs because your beliefs might make you a better person and other people better. Denny is trying to be a better person the what the the boys want him to be. Denny used lots of values for them. The values he used respect, resilience and integrity.

100 Words Challenge

 Today our Teacher is away on a course so we had to have a substitute. Today we had to do a 100 word challenge. Our photo was feet in snow or frost. Here is my work and the photo.

One day I was walking in my track up the mountain.

The track was abandoned and no one knows that it was there except for me and my family.

Today it was all snowie so we could see if there were other people on our track.

I continued to walk down the track still wondering who it was or what it was.

I looked at the foot print to see the human size.

As I walk down the track I see a man standing there looking at the dark grey sky and the snow

falling down. I approached him and talked for a while.

PE Gymnastics

 Today in PE we had to gymnastics. Our task was to take a photo or video. My group left me and did another thing so I had to do my stuff all by myself. I did the mat on the floor. My 3 activities I were backward, forward roll and forward roll into feet. One of our helper Teachers took a video of me. I found it fun to do the forward roll into feet because I have never done it before and rolling was fun. Here is a video of what it did.

200 Word Challenge

Today in wānanga we had to do the 200 word challenge. Our writing had to be about a whale trying to get a person. I tried to make get 200 words but it was hard because I didn't know what to write about. Here is the photo and the writing.

Help Me….


One day I wanted to do something new. Something I haven't done before. I haven't done diving before. I went to ask my friend if we could go today and he said that I have to wait 1 hour then meet him out at the ship rack. Later we met there and we went out to the ocean. Soon we got out in the far ocean and there were lots of sharks. Soon we got into our scuba gear and went down. We went down into the ocean and started taking videos about the sharks. Soon we got up and had a break. In that break we had some food and water to get our energy up. After we got our energy up we went back in the water. We went away from the boat to go and see the coral reef. We got to see the coral reef and when we were coming back from it. We saw something very big.  We turned back to see what it was and I couldn't tell what it was because I only got a glimpse of it. My friend got on the boat and left me. I tried yelling at him to help me get away from the animal.
