Another Homework Challenge! Week 3-4 Term 3

In this challenge I had to make an animation about a section out of the book I am reading. The book is The Power of Six from the Lorien Legacies series by Pittacus Lore. I'm really fussy with books but the Cherub series and Lorien Legacies series are AWESOME. I've read all of the cherub books and reading the Lorien Legacies. Try these series and I hope you enjoy my video!



Homework Week 3-4 Term 3

This week my homework challenge was to make six activities to increase my heart rate to between 110 bpm and 170 bpm. I did Run around the house two times, jumping on the trampoline for five minutes, 40 sit-ups, 50 star jumps, the plank for one minute and 20 burpees. Then I had to make a friend do a bootcamp with all of my activities. My sister did them all very well but hurt herself while doing them.

2:Arranging pillows for my Mum's leg.
3:Bringing in the groceries from online shopping.
4:Filling up my Mum's water bottle with cold water when it was empty.
5:Helping get my little brother and Mum breakfast.

I've probably done 3 times this amount as well but I did the ones I could remember.

Tech This Week.

This week I had food tech. This is the first tech I've posted about  because I only got my blog this term and I'll tell you everything about tech. Firstly tech happens two times every term. It goes in an order and I've been trying to work it out and I think I have. Here they are (starts at any tech) Hard materials, soft materials  (sewing) . Food tech, Art tech, music tech, science and finally electronics. I have just completed food tech and that was my third tech since I've been at this school. This week we had four days instead of three sadly. On the first day we made jam tarts. on the second day we made banana choc-chip muffins. On the third day we made self crusting quiche. On the last day we had to choose one of the recipes and modify it in two ways. I made self crusting quiche with tomato and more veggies. I would have a pic but it epically failed! It fell apart and we couldn't get it inside cause of the mess. It was really funny.

For this challenge it was design your own for physical activity. I made do three sports for a term at least and it is Completed. I do Squash, Tae-Kwon Do and Boot Camp. I really enjoy all three and doing them all again this term.

Homework Challenge. Games for neighbourhood kids.

I have been playing with little kids who live on my street, inviting them over and playing wrestling or the ho-ya game on my trampoline. The ho-ya game was created by two of my backdoor neighbours.(one 12, one 4) How you play is the four-year-old is standing moving around and the big kids have to come up and try and tag the little kid. But... the little kid can ho-ya us by pretending to have the force and say HO-YA! Then the big kids have to jump back on to their backs. It is SOOO fun. I'll put up some pictures when I get some.

Brigands M.C Book Review.

This term I have been reading a book called Brigands M.C. This is the 11th book of the first series of Cherub. This was my second time reading the series because I like them so much! If you like thrillers, this ones for you.

 This book is about a boy called Dante who's Dad is in a bike gang called the Brigands. His Dad (Scotty) is the vice president of the South Devon chapter. When Scotty didn't agree to creating a Hotel Resort called Marina Heights,  the FÅ«her (president) killed his whole family except for Dante and his baby sister who escaped. Cherub recruited him and he became an agent. Find out more in Brigands M.C.
My rating: 8/10
Really good for teenagers. And you could start with the first book, The Recruit.
That was my book review.

Term 1 holidays!

This was my big holiday.
on the weekend I was at home playing minecraft and jumping on the trampoline.
On the first day of the actual holidays  I invited my friend over and he had a sleepover. then the next day I went to his house for a sleepover. I went home and watched Jurassic Park one two and three.

Two days later I invited another friend over who has a laptop and we played minecraft on the same server. I have yet another friend who is my "backdoor" neighbour. He came over with his laptop and we all played.

A few days later my family found out my cousin has a disease in her ankle. I was going to go to a beach house and was going to meet my cousins there but one of them was in hospital so me and my Mum went up to auckland to pick up three of them for a proper holiday. So we did and took them home for three days.

My oldest cousin, my Mum and me watched Ironman 3 at the movies, it was awesome

The beach house ( in Tepuru ) was awesome. There was a basketball hoop, a trampoline and three bedrooms. One of them sleeps 5! the others two ( the one I slept in with my cousin on the other bed ) and one with a queen bed which my Mum slept in. On the third day  My two cousins ( one that was in hospital ) came down for two nights, the rest of the holiday. That night she started coughing up blood and she went to another hospital for about an hour.

That was mainly it so goodbye.
