Tree project

we have been doing research with native trees in NZ we had to make a informational slide,it had to have NZ native trees facts and photos of the trees but we incorporated a game here is the link to the slide.

HOW WE CAME UP WITH THE APP!

Firstly We were Going To Do the “Visualiser” So We Set off to Work! The Visualiser Was Going To Be an App For People With Disabilities To Help Them With Vibration! And Action! But Then Mark Persuaded Us We should Make up A Colour Blind App! 

But Then…We Found Out Some Other Group Has Done That So That Was A rip off Mark Then Persuaded Us To Make A Dementia App! To Help Old People With Dementia There Would Be Mini Games And Stuff To Cure Your Memory Loss!

And This Was When The Young Writers App Was born..Lorenzo Came Up With The Idea..YOUNG WRITERS APP! We Finally sticked To That App! And That is How We Came Up With The young Writers App! 

HOW THE APP CAN BE USEFUL

Our App Can Be useful in lots of Ways!

it Can Inspire Young Children to Be Authors!

And You Can Print Out The Edited Writing!

You Can Challenge Other kids On Writing e.g Write Me A Sad Story!

Then All The Kids Can Verse Each other In Writing A Sad Story!

And One Of The Most Important Characters Are…Punctuation lady How she Is Important? she Edits The Work With Her EDITING powers And Adds Missing Punctuation!

One of the Characters Is Bob The Wombat You Will Not Need Him If Your Not New to the game..You Will Only Have Him To Help For A while…BUT HE IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE NEW! Wrote By Caroline seeker 1

Pivoting

This term our group/Mind Benders have been having trouble with our consensus it was hard here are our end results

We started off doing visualiser but then we didn’t make a consensus, so we thought of a colour blind app  but no consensus, then a dementia app and made consensus but then we realised that it was similar to google notes. Then we decided to do a punctuation app it will teach kids to use full stops,question marks and apostasies. here is a photo of our picture plan   Taylor(leader) drew/wrote this.

Hot Tub Time Machine

The Hot Tub Time Machine

By Kieran Seal and Lorenzo Graydon

[Chapter One: The Past]

-{Kieran’s Point of view}-

I ran into the hot tub, only to see that everything around me was changing. Things seemed to be going back in time Trees and crops seemed to going back into their holes and clouds were moving backwards.  Eventually I got out of the hot tub to be around the time dinosaurs existed. There were pterodactyls and worst of all, a tyrannosaurus rex was running straight for me! I attempted to run but eventually got cornered. Fortunately for me, the hot tub time machine was in the corner. I went back, but ended up about a week ahead of where I was before all the comotion. Suddenly, I saw somebody else jump into the hot tub and then disappear from view.

-{Lorenzo’s Point of View}-

I jumped into the hot tub everything was going backwards I thought I was dreaming but when I hopped out there was a giant tyrannosaurus rex chasing me. I picked up a bone and smacked it in the head but it didn't affect him so  I went into a cave to find survivors. Then a giant pterodactyl lifted me and dropped me into tar but this guy called billy saved me from the tar. I almost died but thanks for billy I survived. And that pterodactyl was now our dinner. I asked “where are we?”  they said “In the dinosaur age.” I said “What does pterodactyl taste like?”, they said “Like chicken.” so I stayed there until my sister jumped in there and I disappeared

-{Billy’s Point Of View}-

I saw a male jump out of the hot tub, screaming. I thought that he was screaming because he found something really nice, so i went in. Everything happened backwards, and eventually I was back in the dark ages. Having studied the dark ages, I jumped into the tub again. This time, though, I was transported to the time the dinosaurs ruled the world. Suddenly, a man was dropped from a pterodactyl and just before he hit the tar layered at the bottom, I grabbed him and heaved his unconscious body through the hot tub time machine.

-{David’s Point of View}-

I saw an empty hot tub and decided to go in. After all, I had finished my work for that day. But Suddenly, Everything seemed to be turning back. Trees were going back into seeds which then were transported elsewhere, and when I got out I was seeing actual dinosaurs! Triceratops, pterodactyls and other dinos! Suddenly, a Tyrannosaurus Rex came charging at me! I climbed a tree as fast as I could, but then the tree was knocked down. Luckily for me, the part I was on landed in water, and I swam to the shore desperately. Eventually, I managed to get to the hot tub time machine again and was transported back to the present.

-{Jeff’s Point of View}-

I hopped into a hot tub but then I woke up in dinosaur land. A pterodactyl swooped in, but luckily I dodged at the last possible moment. As it came for a second swoop, it flew away as the earth trembled. It trembled multiple times, so I could only imagine it was a T Rex coming for me. In this I was correct. I ran towards the hot tub time machine, but all entrances were blocked except one. The dino continued this game, but eventually I reached the hot tub time machine.

-{Oliver’s point of view}-

I saw a hot tub, and my first instinct was to jump in. I did that, seeing no threats but when I hopped in, everything went back in time. I found myself in a strange, overgrown land. Suddenly, a T rex lunged at me. I ran back to the hot tub time machine, but it took about a minute to work. Don’t worry, the T Rex was patient and let me go.

-{Daniel’s point of view}-

I saw a vacant hot tub, and decided to go in. Suddenly, the earth stopped but started re-winding. Eventually I was in a dinosaur land, so I decide to explore a bit. I saw a pterodactyl drop a man, who was saved by another man, who shot the pterodactyl with an arrow. I felt pretty scared, so I decided to build a treehouse. It was hard work, but eventually I had a two story treehouse. Then I went back to the hot tub and climbed inside.

[Chapter Two: The Future]

-{Christopher’s Point of View}-

I jumped into the hot tub. Suddenly, everything sped up! Everything except for me, that is. When I hopped out, I found myself in a futuristic place. Robots were littered everywhere and technology was supreme! Suddenly, a green laser shone above my head, as I found myself levitating. Please find me, it's dark in here and aliens are all around me.

-{Teresa’s point of view}-

I went to have a relaxing bath but next minute I see robots and magnetic trains floating cars and teleporters. I asked “am I in the future?”. Then a robot replied “yes.” in a low pitched voice. Then the robot grabbed me and said “You have to be a robot so I will make you a robot”. I went into the factory. It was dark and dull, but just before they started turning me into a robot, I was back at home or was I? dun dun dun!

-{John’s Point Of View}-

I saw an empty hot tub, so i decided to jump in. Suddenly, everything sped up and I felt nauseous for a minute. When I saw properly again, I was in a futuristic world. Knowing how futuristic KFC is, I looked around for a KFC. I found one, but when i got in I saw a heck-ton of robots. Their eyes turned from green to red, as they started driving towards me. As soon as I knew it, I was trapped in what seemed to be a Plasma Forcefield. Eventually I got out, and straight away I ran to the hot tub time machine.

-{Cadences point of view}-

I was playing hide and seek then it was my turn to hide so I hid in the bathtub but then I was in a future world. I was scared so I called out to my mum but she was a robot. I screamed “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” I said “I want to go home to mummy an brother”. But five seconds later I went back home I said “yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay”.

-{Jack’s Point of view}-

I was walking when I suddenly fell into a hot tub. My clothes got wet and I ended up in a futuristic land. A robot rammed into me, then threw me over. I ran into it but it flung me in the air. I ran into the hot tub time machine, not wanting a fight against a robot.

[Chapter 3: World War l part 1]

-{Tyreese’s point of view}-

I went to have a bath after a stressed day of work then I hop into the bath and I have an army suit on. Then bang went a gun “ok nothing bad is happening” I said “I'm just  dreami ohno a bomb take cover”. BOOM went the bomb there was heaps of dead people everywhere I hid in a hole, then I dug a hole all the way to there side then I was home again.

-{Bob’s Point Of View}-

I saw a hot tub and decided to go in. As I hopped out, I heard gunfire and ran. I saw a barricade and hopped behind it. Armed soldiers saw me, so I ran again. As I nearly missed a cannonball, another one fired, simultaneously creating an ear splitting BANG! I dodged lots of other cannonballs, and I can tell you it was as hard as milking a cow without a bucket. Eventually, I got to the hot tub time machine and was whizzed back to the present.

-{Liam’s Point Of View}-

I saw a vacant hot tub, so with a loud SPLASH! I went in. I held my breath for as long as I could, but when I poked my head up I realised I was in WW1. I ran across no man’s land, which was an amazing mistake on my part. With a BANG! I saw cannonballs coming at me. I front flipped over them. I saw, to my amazement, a man dodging cannonballs and heading for a different hot tub. Then as quickly as he had come, he disappeared. I decided to meet him, so I jumped into the hot tub time machine again.

-{Luke’s point of view}-

I was hoping in the bath after a day of getting bullied I had a black eye bruises everywhere you can imagine so I hopped in the bath. Then my bruises were gone but I was wearing camo and I had a gun then next minute a bomb hits me “i'm covered in bruises again but now i'm in more pain” I shouted. Then I teleported back in the bath.

-{Noah’s point of view}-

I hopped in a hot tub because I felt like it but I teleported into a war zone. I was holding a gun. It was scary holding a gun but BOOM went a rocket that came out a rocket launcher, bang went a gun I screamed “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Then I teleported in my bath but “ouch it's hot mum why did you make my bath hot?”.

[Joke time]

-{Catty mc cat face VS the Mouse}-

I snuck down the hall, out of sight. Minutes ago, I had narrowly escaped the dog. There, THERE was my target. A mouse about the size of my head then cut in half. I leaped at it, and with a loud MEEEOOOWWW, I got my target. I then chomped down delightedly, before my cat food was served. “It was delightful” I said, but in cat language it would have been “meow meow meow meow meow”.

[End Of Joke Time For Now]

-{Jake’s point of view}-

I jumped into a hot tub. Suddenly, everything went backwards. I ended up in world war three. What do you mean? Fine, I ended up in world war one. Every second I was there, it got worse. I jumped onto a cannonball and backflipped into the hot tub.

-{banana’s point of view}-

Nothing

-{Midas’s point of view}-

I saw a hot tub so I jumped in. I was transported to World War one. I Jumped back into the hot tub. It magically took me to the present. Yay! Sadly, a robot followed me. I ran to the diving board, as the robot followed. Then I jumped off. As lots of people will know, mechanical parts have one weakness: water. The robot jumped in, without a second thought. As it’s mechanical parts filled with water, all systems started shutting down. With a robotic shriek, the robot was removed of it’s very life.

-{Darius‘s point of view}-

I saw a hot tub, and decided I would jump in. I needed a break, anyway. I saw Milo jump in after me, then saw everything disappear. I found myself in a battlefield, with Milo by my side. I noticed I had a glove. I put it on, and mysteriously the hot tub time machine floated into the air. Milo and I jumped into it, and teleported back to the present. Or was it the future? Or was it the Past? Wait, now is the present, not then. So I went to the past. But to me, was that the future? I don’t-

[Disconnection successful]

-{Milo’s(me and Darius are twins) point of view}-

I saw a hot tub and I decided I would jump in with my brother but everything disappeared and we were in a war with a gun but we teleported back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Joke time]

-{Catty mc cat face VS the nemesis}-

I ran as fast as my four legs could carry me. Don’t be envious, I’m a cat. The dog was hot on my tail.I ran to the outside world. There was my one chance! A single tree, all alone on the lawn. I climbed it as fast as I could, then found a bird on a branch of the tree, I snuck up on it as quietly as I could possibly be, then pounced on it at just the correct moment. Then the dog was called in. Suddenly, I was in a human's arms, being carried to the one spot where do- I mean: it could get me. But, I was in the protection of the human.

[End of joke time for now]

[Chapter four: Ancient Egypt]

-{Lori’s point of view}-

I ran and slipped into the hot tub then I'm doing an egyptian dance and there are pyramids It was spookay even more spooky then an old lady in undies. I hid in a pyramid to get meated by a big fat horrid mummy it said son (dad joke). Then I was back at home.

-{Arthur’s point of view}-

I saw a hot tub, and went in. Only to be transported to egyptian times. I started exploring a pyramid, When a sudden shout stopped me dead in my tracks. It was “Get out of our pyramid you grave robber! Nobody will let you steal from the pharaoh's tomb!”

Suddenly, a man wielding a flaming torch came storming in. I hid behind a pile of bricks that were conveniently placed in the shape of a wall. The man rushed past, worried that the tomb was being raided. When he went out of the pyramid, which took about half an hour, I crept down to raid the tomb. What? It was left untouched. As I neared the tomb, guards entered the pyramid. They were the opposition to stealthy, but the were also the opposition to weak. The wielded shields in their offhand, and swords in the other. I managed to escape with a lot of treasure, but knew that I would be caught doing it again.

[Joke time]

Attack of the sift

The sift was coming my flour screamed they said I don't want to be a powder I wanted to be a chunky lump thats why I listened to bruno mars chunky (dad joke) then the sift broke then Catty mc cat face ate us all.

[Back to where we were]

-{Kieran’s point of view 3}-

I saw the hot tub, decided to go in again, but this time ended up in ancient egypt. There were too many pyramids to count, so I snuck into one and saw a lot of passageways. I then found a wall of loose bricks, and I heard heavy clunking coming behind me. I heard a scream of “You’ll NEVER take our riches, tomb raider!” So, I decided to hide in a hole in the bricky wall. Sure enough, the guards checked behind the wall, but never noticed me. I ran after the coast was cleared but with some of the treasure. I think I’ll stay away from the tub for now… or will I?

[joke time]

-{Catty mc cat face VS the cucumber}-

I was drinking from my water bowl and eating the chunky flour, when a green stick came lunging at me. I jumped back, but more green sticks were thrown wherever I went. I jumped all over, but eventually they were not being thrown anymore. I escaped the room, before being lifted and my fur being settled in the way I like.

[End of joke time for now]

[Chapter 5: Medieval Times]

{Kieran’s point of view}

{again}

I saw a hot tub, knowing it was the same one that took me to egypt and 10000000 BC, so obviously I jumped in. I was taken to a place of castles and smelly piles of: dirt? Suddenly a spear was lobbed at me, but luckily I dodged in time. Here is a checklist of everything I found:

Smelly piles?

CHECK

So of course I ran to the hot tub time machine.

Is graffiti art or vandalism

this week the senior school have been doing speeches this my speech that I presented at the finals.

Is Graffiti art or vandalism

Hi I'm Lorenzo I'm am going to be presenting you with a speech about graffiti in my opinion graffiti is vandalism. then I learned graffiti can be an art.

The dictionary says graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. Graffiti is vandalism because it is sometimes disturbing for example you might see one with lots of swearing and disturbing things . Graffiti is also vandalism because you are just spraying on public walls did you know that graffiti removal cost . You wouldn't like to be caught doing graffiti. Also graffiti is a mess in south auckland there is graffiti everywhere even at a kids park even just going on a peaceful bike ride basically everywhere you go there is graffiti in south auckland. I’ve  experienced lots of graffiti in south auckland like at the onehunga dog park or at the pack’n’n’save in the mangere town centre.

I think graffiti can be an art like you might ask for a big wall painted with graffiti just like at Massey high. Graffiti is an art because you might want graffiti as a logo for example a tattoo parlour. You should search up banksy he is the most famous street artist in the world he is funny and he writes secret messages in  his graffiti art. Another famous street artist is a kiwi his name is graham Hoete is a street artist from the Bay of Plenty who specialises in realistic street arts believe it or not he is kiwi.

This concludes my speech. What do you think is graffiti art or a mess or both? Whatever you think you aren't wrong because it is your opinion I think it's both. Bye hope you enjoyed my speech.
