Hi guys this is Eamon back with another blog post and today im talking about a country Called Japan, and yes this is for summer learning journey so we have to take the country we chose, mine being japan, i would have to find the capital of that and then ill write why i wont to go there and answer some questions.

Questions:,

Where is Tokyo located in Japan, it is in the northern area

I want to go to Tokyo, Japan because it is a beautiful place and i think the food there is really nice especailly the sushi and i like there language they speak, because it sounds really nice and smooth and it is a cool place in general. 

Pet Day.

Last week we had pet day, on that day we got to bring bets obviously but if you don't have a pet you can bring a soft toy you love or pet rock. This day is dedicated to pets any shape, size, color, or breed which i think is cool, but of course there are some animals that can't come like wild animals and insects like spiders, i mean who wants a pet spider!? not me! 

Now the events, after morning tea we do hobby horse race and at 1:00 we got to watch sheep shearing and at 1:45 the pets come and so we get to watch them and play with them. And after all that the day is suddenly over and before we leave we get to collect our stuff, and that is the end of the day!

and one question for all of you, has something like this happened at your school?

Here is mine and Corbin's vege sculpture

(it's a car)

my inquiry - NOW! (it is way better)

Last time i blogged about inquiry I wasn't to finished with it but now I have something better to show you. Since I have been working on this for awhile i have produced better work than I last did it was only digital but now it is on a big piece of cardboard so i can present it to my class when we are supposed to finish inquiry.

but what I found hard about making this is doing the coloring and painting because it took awhile to get all the coloring exactly right, and I also found it hard to find out where i should put the facts and the writing that i had printed.

but other than that i'd say it is a pretty good blog post. And here is a picture!

summer learning journey year three

Hi guys im here today to talk to you about summer learning journey, it is a cool sight where you can play games earn points and  if you have a good amount of points you can earn prizes, and not prizes on the game but in real life! so that is real cool, and there are also spot prizes, so if you do an amazing blog that the people of summer learning journey see they might give you a spot prize!

There are cool things on summer learning journey that are really worth checking out so go and have a play on it and see what you can do!

But what I reccomend is if you do have a go at winning prizes!


here is a link to my to summer learning journey

link- ed

Hi guys today i will tell you about my link ed work. It was my first time making things on link-ed but it is cool to put things on it, and it is easy to use, and really the only thing you do is put up work your proud of! so it is nearly like blogger but a bit different because you have to choose three subjects and then you publish work on those chosen subjects.

And really there isn't much to it, because it is really easy to use and its really cool!

So i think you should really go and check it out and maybe if you are a teacher reading this maybe get your kids in your class to try it out! but for now bye!!

The last day of Book day

Hello everyone you may or may not know this but today is the last day of book day for my class this year, so basically we aren't getting anymore books this term. The last book we are reading is called "cool nukes" we have only just started reading the book though so we don't know much about it.

But what I like about it is mostly the name "cool nukes" because who dosen't like talking crazy just like nukes go crazy. Sometime's i just like names :) And all I know about the book so far is that they are with a proffeser and they can't be seen for some reason.

But my class seem's to like it so far and i do to "bye guys!!"

And here is a picture to go with it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Attitude

HI guys today i'm talking to you about ATTITUDE  basiclly he came to my school and he told us about, like about us and things like are we normal, and only we can make choices that we wan't. and he told us four personalitys that we might be and the four personalitys are otter yes and the personalitys for it is funny and it always finds ways to make anything fun.
Second one is a lion he is a loyal and he feels like he is the boss of all but is still caring.
third is a golden retreaver so you are a peace keeper and you are really good at helping people
and last but not least a beaver so you are kind of a mix of lion and otter.
and i thought i was an otter/golden retreaver

what do you think you are?

sailing!

hi fellow bloggers! last week i went sailing and here is my story!

There were many class trIps thIs year but saIlIng was by far the best one of them all, but I was a bIt nervous on the mornIng and when I realIzed, “oh no I forgot about saIlIng!” of course I was stIll excIted about It, but I had to get ready quIck so I rushed to my room and In the blInk of an eye my clothes were on and I was ready for saIlIng, my mum was already awake and so now It was tIme to go go go!

By the tIme we got to school I was ready and I was so excIted about goIng saIlIng, but there was only one problem, I forgot my jacket. I was worrIed out of my mInd that I was goIng to get cold! But I slowed my braIn down from rushIng and thInkIng of a solutIon, but then I realIzed, It was perfectly sunny so I thought “I guess I don’t need my jacket” so I was okay! And now fInally the bus rIde I’ll never forget came the best bus of all!

My class hopped on the bus and we were all so excIted and happy for the trIp to lake rua the bus rIde was pretty quIck and so we were off the bus and at lake rua! We were expectIng a longer bus rIde but we were all pretty happy that It was short because now we get more tIme saIlIng and less tIme on the bus.

It was tIme to learn about  how to get the boat workIng but there was one thIng, we had to make the boat our self! So that was a bIt unexpected, but It was fun to make the boats, and soon we got to saIl them IncludIng the teachers! We had to choose a partner to make the boat wIth, so I chose louIs we were not to sure about how to make the boat but we were defInItely happy about saIlIng!

So we had the boat together now so we’ve got to brIng It to the water It  was tIme we got to go saIlIng me and louIs were the fIrst group to go we had to choose who Is fIrst and I was fIrst to go and I hopped on an off I went went for a bIg rIde up the rIver loopIng around and then I was back! Luckily i didnt fall out the boat was stirdy as a rock. And then thIs Is the end we were back at school! I had so much fun and it was the best! But i was as tired as a sloth from all the sailing!

"i have a question, have you been sailing?"

my narrative work

Hi guys im back today with another post and I have one of my favourite narratives here for you and it is about my last ever soccer game, it is when I scored my last ever goal and won to under twelve's. So I had a lot of fun playing the last game I would play there, so I usually play around 3:45 till 4:45 and I always play at home even though its not a real game, but I just like practising a lot just in case I start to play again some other time at CFC, (the club I played for.)

But what I found hard when writing the narrative was trying to remember all the details about the game how we all felt and everything we did and how much fun I had there. It was also hard to try and figure out what order to put the game in because there was just so much going on at the CFC academy.

And what I have improved on while writing the narrative is I really improved on remembering to put in paragraphs and I really needed to improve punctuation, so I remembered to put some more of that in.  So now you get to read it! 

It was my last ever soccer game last month and I was in the under tens team (so for 9 and ten-year-olds) so I was one of the best people in my team, and my coaches name was mike and he was a really good coach and he taught all of us the basics and some cool tricks so that was fun. I played at CFC Christchurch football academy and I also loved playing there.

So when I was playing there we had to vs the under 12’s and we were all very sure we would lose but we went onto the field and we played ball but then will we were playing one other person from the other team was yellow carded for kicking someone's leg on purpose, so he tried to get away with an excuse but they were not buying it because the boy whose leg was kicked was on the ground cradling his leg.

And so then within moments, the game was eventually back on we had the ball in hand “or, in foot!” so we kept going but the opponent's team took the ball! And they went across the field all the way through and they went straight to the goal our goalie was ready and strike went the ball as it zoomed straight into the goal. So that was one nil to the opponent's team, and we weren't surprised they scored. Then something extraordinary happened,

The goalie passed me the ball and I ran up the field without stopping and then strike! I scored! I couldn't believe it so now the scores were tied!  My team needed one more goal in ten minutes to win so we gave the other team’s goalie the ball and we were off the game is real now not just fun and games, we had to win we had too! So the goalie passed the ball and I took the ball off the player when they were halfway down the field and I dashed over to the goal I shot and it was saved, but I wasn't gonna give up yet.

So they passed the ball again and they were nearly at the goal but then I swooped in got the ball and strike!! I closed my eyes after kicking and hoped for the best and then everyone started yelling YAY GOOD SHOT so then I knew we had won I was so happy that I got the goal that I just ran across the field in shock and joy.

And then the game was over and we won to the under 12’s

THE END

my cast came off!

Hello!!! as some of you may know I have broken my arm so I had to have a cast on my arm, which wasn't fun so,  I had my cast on for a good solid 4 weeks. I broke my arm on the first day of the holidays so I was in a cast for the whole holidays and two weeks of school, so I had to get my cast of eventually so I waited four weeks and...

finally!!!! the day had come to get my cast off! I liked the look of my cast though so I the doctor said I could keep it once it was off! But of course it would have a hole down the middle of it, but I didn't mind :) so I got to take it off finally! and that is the story of my broken arm, but one more thing how I broke my arm is... I don't know I was knocked out...

my holidays / breaking my arm

Hello, Everyone, I'm back from the holidays!!!
 And in this blog, post I'm going to tell you about my holidays. So what I did in the holidays is... movies! skatepark! and breaking my arm?
 your probably wondering "wait what?? how'd you do it" and how I did it is, I was on my trampoline bouncing around doing the usual backflips I always do, but then I decided to push the flips up a little, so I decided to challenge myself to a double backer I did I was flipping then I landed! on my arm...

So then I had to go to the hospital and It was about 7:00 at the time so it was already dark so we drove in the dark to Pegasus 24/7 hospital and I had to wait for a while then I got an x-ray then I was sent to get a cast and now I have a cast on my arm for 3 weeks.

now back to the movie, I went to the movies to watch the new smallfoot movie! I'm not a spoiler so go watch the movie your self!

check out this cool sight!

on Wednesday my class and I used a new site we found called flipsnack it's a site where you can make a flip book, online dioramas, and you can even just edit pictures! but in the process of trying to figure out how to use flipsnack, what I found hard was trying to find out where all the things are because there are lots of things you can explore and use so I had to try find everything.

what I found cool though was getting to create and explore all the features on flipsnack, because like I said there are so many opportunities and lots of cool features to play around with. So I strongly recommend flipsnack.

See you soon

my ski day!

A while ago me and my whole class and others went skiing! To get to Mt Hutt ski resort, we had to take a 2hr 30min drive! It felt like forever! But we finally got there, after a really long trip! But when we got there I found out that I could ski like a pro! which was really cool.

So I got to go up the chairlift a couple of times, which was really and also (I fell over a few times).
but I got back up and I gave it another go! sooooo... you could say I'm a pretty good skier ;)

how does plastic effect sea life and the sea world?

This is my inquiry question!
What do you know about this?
My question is...

How does plastic effect sea life and the sea world?

What I think about this topic is that the plastic that gets inside their bodies is getting stuck in there lungs so the cannot breath but, it doesn't get in their gills but once the plastic is swallowed it kills them after about an hour or so. And they eat the plastic because they mistake it for food like jellyfish or something else.

If you know anything else about this you can comment it down below this and if you do it will help me with my inquiry learning as well!

my inquiry learning

this week we went to the eco-tip and eco store it was really fun because at the eco store we had a budget to buy anything and our budget was $500 I got heaps even a bed (we do not get to keep them :(

ice palace!

This book is called the ice palace is a book by Robert Swindells, and we are writing and remaking this book on google slides. And the book is about this kid named Ivan and he is in a freezing cold land, with a little village that he lives in. and since we have finished writing about it we decided to compare our writing with the real book and so far mine by its self, sounds kinda similar to the figure of speech and powerful words!

my speech from school T3

Should students be allowed to listen to music during study hall?

If you are a student at a school that just abhors studying and working and to relax you just want to listen to some music? But you are not allowed to? Well,

My name is Eamon and I will be telling you why I think that yes you should be allowed to be listening to music while working.

generally, think that when people listen to music they kinda focus on there work more and they do more because the can block out the noise with there own music so they can focus.

So this does not mean that the teachers should take headphones off people because if they need their headphones for something like a video teaching them how to do stuff instead of music, they won't be able to listen to it without everyone else getting distracted.

This is a good thing to listen to music because not just because they focus but because it relaxes them to do more in the time given to do the work, are you with me?

This was Eamon, thank you for listening to my speech.

keys for being a master at art

line detail color shade horizon line

If you use these methods you can do more better in art but these will not always work, it mostly depends on the time and practices you put into your art. I used these methods and I tried redrawing starry nights by Vincent Van Gogh. and I know lots of other methods tell me with a comment if you know more!

T3 math this week

yesterday my math group did a math investigation and I will be showing you how to do this investigation, this investigation is called dart board investigation

it is when you have to make as many answers possible for example

this board has the numbers 9, 5 and 2 which means  43 is not an answer but 14 could

and what was hard for me about this investigation was I thought I had all the answers I could do but there was still more so I took so long to finish them all if that even was all of them...

my reflection on this school term

What am I proud of this term?

I am proud of my math this term because I know I definitely improved my seven times tables and 12x’s tables I'm also better at plusing fractions and I love doing maths so I practice at school on math whizz (nearly) every morning.

How have I shown my YMS hero qualities?

• I have left people alone to work on their own work
• I have played fairly and haven't hit or hurt anyone to be silly.
• I have done everything teachers etc

Things that have not gone well for me,

My spelling needs improving as well as slowing down so I hit the right keys.

And I can't figure out my 12x’s tables in different methods I can only do one way.

What challenged me?

What challenged me was trying to write more words in the long right in the time given the most ive wrote is 456.

What will be my focus next term?

Probably working either on my writing so I can do better work and on my eight x’s tables.’

Mostly on my writing so I can do way better work on writing my long wright with the correct spelling and math could be better.

my math this week

 This is my math work from tuesday io have learnt how to add up big numbers
like 132+132 for example it will equal 264 but then you can go higher with the
  numbers like into the thousands for example 1111+1111 will equal 2222. my
  is i start at the end of the number and add the two numbers together and if they
equal anything over ten then i carry the amount until it is a nine then keep adding the numbers until i get the answer at the end! i found this hard at first but i proggresed.

non chronological report

my bag report (non chronological)

This is a bag for camping for long amouts of times or even just one night.

Features

This bag has specail features like water proof for if your going for a walk and your bag falls of nothing
inside will be damp and it is indistructable.

trialing

There were 24 people around the world to trial the bag but they did not go camping they went for a walk
around the block so all the people went to the block and they fell stumbled in puddles and nothing
happened to the bag it was inustructable!

Look it was a bag designied to look good aswell so when you wen in public it would look good and be really
comptarble.

Matierial the bag is made of really nice and srtrong leather and on top it was coated witjh water proof cotton
for landing if you fall so nothing breaks eather.

Cost it will be near nine/eleven dollars for the shoe because of the features and protection.

This all together is called the campomatic 20,000 and is really good probalbly the best camping bag in the
world because who would ever recreate a bag as good as this not to brag or anything like that though.

This bag is a 100/100

how to use the time traveller 2000,000!!

welcome to the time traveller 200,000 im going to show the user how to use this time machine yes i know the user probably knows how to use it but i’m going to show the user all the other cool features that this time machine has like safety and also dangerous things that could happen.

time traveller how to.

SAFETY: never use if the user is using an electronic device, unless its a camera if using any other device, that device will interfere with the wires and cables inside the time traveller 200,000. 2: if under 11 do not use because children under the age of 11 are probably silly and will mess everything up.

DANGER: The user must make sure they have the right date and time for where the user wants to go or the user will end up someplace completely different and maybe dangerous if they are not careful.

LAST TOUCHES: This is how the user uses The Time Traveler 200000 All the user  needs to do is sit inside then enjoy the ride.
