Reading E-asttle test 2015

On my 2015 reading e-asttle test, I got a 4B.  I am not very proud of the result but it still is good.  I would have liked to got a 4A or 4P.  I am also under the nz mean for my year level.  That is why I am not really proud about my result.  But I did get a 4 so that was good.  At least I got 4 not a 3.  Nextime I do this, I would like to get a 4 or at least a 5.

Maths E-asttle Test 2015

This is my 2015 e-asttle maths test.  I am not proud of the results because I got a 3P.  I am also not very proud of my result because I am under the nz mean for my year level.  For this test, I would have liked to get at least a 4 because I am a year 8 and that is good for when I go to college.  This means I still have some learning to do.  Nextime I do this test, I would like to get at least a 4.  

Paris Attack

When I heard Paris got attacked, I was sad because Paris was one of the places I would like to go and suddenly, it got bombed and many people died.  I was worried because a friend of mine lives their and she might have got hurt.  I just want to hope that there is no more attacks.

Shape Mods

This game is called Shape Mods.  This game is all about coordinates.  In this game, you have to try and make the green shape land exactly on the red shape to make it the same.  I think this game really helps people who are learning about about shapes and reflection.  If you want to play this game, click on the link: http://www.mathplayground.com/ShapeMods/ShapeMods.html

Armageddon Day

“Bang, Bang, Crash.”  I woke up to some sounds in my living room.  When I walked to the living room, my brother was playing some shooting game.  It was 11:50 am when I looked at my watch.  I grabbed a drink of refreshing ice tea when I heard “SAMUEL!!”

My brother scared me from behind.  The ice tea splashed all over my face.  He told me if I was ready so I said “Ready for what?”  He said we were going to go to Armageddon at the ASB showgrounds.  I dropped the bottle with excitement.  I quickly rushed to my room and got changed.  When I left the room, I saw him all dressed up looking like a fool.

I was laughing at him but he said “no time for laughter, we have to go to Armageddon.”  I put on my shoes and jumped into his car.  We finally arrived at Armageddon.  The entrance was packed with people making getting in long.  He then told me that we got a free pass to get into Armageddon and said to say thank you to my sister for getting it.  There was also some more people who dressed up costumes.

After a long queue, we both finally got into Armageddon.  It was amazing.  It was just like the last time I went.  There were food stands to our right and people taking photos to our left.  Inside the ASB showgrounds was even better.  People were selling things and there were many events to watch and participate in.  There was one event that my brother and I were really interested called League Of Legends but sadly, it was not there this year.  Devastated, we looked for free things and played some games.

Watching all of those shows and playing all those games made us hungry.  We stopped at a burrito stall and ordered some of their best burritos.  When they were delivered to us, I could smell the flavours in the burrito.  I could eat it in one bite.  One bite of the burrito made my teeth get warm.  I tried to get another one but my brother said “No we have to go.”  I was sad because Armageddon was really cool and I didn't want to leave.  

After a long drive back home I laid down on the couch and took a rest.  I looked at my watch and it was 3:50 pm.  I wasn’t that sad because I got free things.  The free things were to be used in games on the internet so after I used them, I was happy.

All Blacks at Victoria Park

When the All Blacks won the RWC final against Australia, they came back to New Zealand.  I wish I was there to celebrate at Victoria Park.  It would have been cool to the see the All Black rugby players.  I just wish next time, it was not during school so I could have gone.  Or the school could have taken me.

Today, my class collected some data on who watched the RWC final and who didn’t.  We collected the data in the morning by students putting up their hands to who watched it and didn’t watch it.  It was clear that the boys were the most people in the class to watch the RWC final.  I think the boys watched the RWC final more because they like to play rugby and I think the girls weren't very interested in it so only some watched it.  On Friday, we had to predict the score on the game and Robin predicted the score 32 to All Blacks and 17 to the Australians.  That was very close.
