PBS Black Out Day

Today PBS were told to either wear black or read clothes. The clothes were to support the All Blacks and Lions team. Black clothes were most wanted to wear for black out day. Our whole school except for four people wore black clothes for the All Blacks since they are versing the lions this week Saturday. We did some activities to support the All Blacks team. First we went in the all to see some videos of the All Blacks and Lions history of rugby. After that we had to sing the Tutira Mai song for the lions tour that is on now. We were really good at singing. Soon the Kapa Haka group performed the haka while LS2 were holding up papers that had the players from the All Blacks. I holed up number 22 which was TJ Perenara. Soon we went outside and spelt All Blacks with our bodies. It was really amazing because Mr Wong used the school drone to record us. Our last activity was passing the ball challenge. Our school formed a big circle around the courts and had to pass a rugby ball. While passing the ball around we all shouted "All Blacks". We managed to get the ball around with know one dropping the ball. I think today was a really incredible day.

Intro to DigiTech

Hour of Code - Moana

For the hour of code game we had to add codes to make Maui and Moana go to where they want to go. For example if they had to catch a fish and it's on the right we had to insert a block that says 'turn right'. There were levels from 1 to 19. I managed to finish all of the levels. It was a really fun coding game.

Statistical Investigation Pie Chart - Bio-degrade

This pie chart shows you how many years it takes for these materials to biodegrade (break). I can tell by this graph that plastic bags and styrofoam take a really really long time until it gets destroyed. I can also see that vegetables take a really little amount of time to get destroyed or to dissapear.
