My A&P Show work

Hello, last week my class did 8 tasks about the A&P show, my first project I did was to choose a competitive sport, so i chose Woodchopping, here is my work sheet: 

After I completed my Competitive sports worksheet, I moved on to the Food Truck category, I had to design a food truck and have prices on food to tell me how much I would earn in result, here it is: 

After that, I managed to barely finish making a rollercoaster ride in the Ride category, here is what I like to call 'The Horse Shoe': 

After a week, we had to do comments on our A&P work, I was paired with Lucy E, here are the things she wrote about my work (I re-wrote some words for her, because I asked and because she has a problem with spelling) :

My Oceanmaker narrative

On Tuesday, two weeks ago, my classroom did a narrative writing session writing what would happen in this short film called The OceanMaker and stopped at 1:45 to 1:46 seconds into the video so we could talk about that section of the video.

We described the landscape or the setting, we said what we felt like when we saw the landscape, we also asked important questions like, where are the other people or why did the water dry up, then we started to plan our narrative stories using this info from the section of the video we watched and expanding upon it.

Here is my planning sheet:

Here is my Writing document with the story I decided to write down*:

*I had trouble getting the document in the blog post, sorry.

In a barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland, which was once a coastal sea, now flooded with sand, new mountains and cliffs, as well as hundreds of shipwrecks and scrap, over top a submarine settlement, a rusty, old yellow Bi-Plane flies overhead.

Within the Cockpit, there were multiple notes and a schematic for a rainmaker, the pilot stands up and looks around using a pair of binoculars to see anything interesting, she then puts down the binoculars and rubs her eyes.

She then sees something in the distance, in the corner of her eye, a Lighthouse lights up, she immediately looks through the binoculars and looks at the Lighthouse and then turns left, to reveal a cloud in the distance. She races towards it, then she hears a big Boom sound. Her plane’s turbines had malfunctioned.

Her heart racing, trying to stop crashing, she tries to maneuver the plane towards the lighthouse to not die and to get repairs done to the plane, she almost fails to land, but doesn’t. she then runs towards the lighthouse and proceeds to knock the door, then came bursting out was the local mechanic.

She told him what happened, so he obliged to help her repair her plane using same scrap from his scrapyard, after 20 minutes the plane was ready to fly again, the pilot thanked the old mechanic for helping and gave some food in return, then she flew off to the distance, chasing the clouds so she could make some rain and hopefully make life better for everyone.


Thank you for reading this blogpost and please give me some of your feedback to me. :D

My Uru Mānuka Logo

This is my Logo of Uru Mānuka, which represents Uru Mānuka.

The trees represent Uru Mānuka, the flowers represent the 8 schools in Uru Mānuka, the colour Green represents harmony, the colour Brown represents how solid Uru Mānuka is and that it can’t be broken, the colour Blue represents how professional Uru Mānuka is.
I used Google Drawings to make this Logo.

This is my logo design process: I had to make a logo of Uru Mānuka, so I got an idea of a swamp/marshy region, because Uru Mānuka is based in the former swamplands in hornby.

So I started with a circular base for where the water will be, then I started to add trees (preferably Rimu trees) and a small patch of land for where I will put 8 flowers (that represent the 8 schools in Uru Mānuka) and then I coloured in the water, the trees and the flowers.

For more of a swamp effect, I added more trees and white lines for a reflection effect.

 It would be really great if you could give me your feedback about my Logo to me, thank you.

Wednesday Rugby & Netball zones

On Wednesday, most of my class (including me) were going to zones & we had to climb into a bus.

We stopped at our first stop & our Rugby team walked out of the bus, we later dropped of our yr5-6 Netball team, then finally my yr7-8 Netball team were dropped at Rolleston College.

My team's matches were just fine until it started raining at the start of the 3rd match and my right hand went numb. After the match we had to place our bags inside the school building, lator we got out in the rain again for the final game. 

I had to find a way to keep my bag dry outside in the rain, so I zipped it up on a fence.

After the last game, my hair was drenched! We went to the bus, went to pick up our other Netball team and our Rugby team, then went back to school.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. If you have a comment to say, go down to the comment section below.

A recount about my time at the school holidays

At the start of the holidays, I immediately went to play computer games on a PC(games like TF2 ect.), watching Doctor Who, making lego objects (including my Lego Shotgun), plus playing with my NERF blasters.

Then I had my friend over, which was Asher Spragg, and we played a couple games together and had a NERF WAR later on.

Then at the last week of the holidays, I noticed that my XBOX Live Gold was running out, so I decided to go on play games on my xbox 360, I mostly played Destiny and Halo 4, but I had to endure the pain of playing with my sister in Lego Batman 2.

Anyway that was how my holidays went, if you either enjoyed or disliked this blog post, please comment down below.


Oh, and one last thing, have any of you have done a nerf war before?

Week 2 swimming lessons

On Wednesday, my class and I went to the school pool for swimming lessons, but things weren’t right.

It was a CHILLY cloudy day and the school pool was already cold, so it was super COLD.

I had to jump in, but I was scared so I took a leap of faith, I am now shivering but I do get warmer when our instructor tells us to swim freestyle.

During the lessons, I had two fatal flaws, #1 I had trouble going sideways with my arms, this bit makes freestyle… freestyle! #2 I am very slow when kicking to go forward.

My HERO values skit

This week in Rimu Class, we did a video to represent our school HERO values.

The hero values are healthy individuals, enthusiastic learners, responsible citizens, open minded- explorers. We picked responsible citizens and being on time.

Our video shows us (Jacob M(me), Jacob W and Ian) doing a skit that we made ourselves.

It shows us doing the following things to be a Responsible citizen:

• Come to class on time
• Being ready to learn
• Transition quickly

This was a collaborative blog post by all three of us, so if you see this on another Yaldhurst blog, we did not copy each other.

You can watch the video down below.

I hope you enjoy.
