Advice for yr7

The school rule is that you wear different shoes and socks depending on a season and girls have to have their hairs up because of the nits(for yourself). You bring your PE shirt to school everyday and you wear your shorts inside your skirts/shorts. Don't wear a wrong earrings and don't wear nail polish to school. Don't forget your hat on summer and don't spin them. Don't be crazy in front of our class because there is Mr Diver's office. Don't bring your cellphones, get changed in the class, use the rimu toilets. Hate Totara

Our Movie Challenge

Last week, our class and room 41 did a movie challenge together. Everyone worked in a group of 6, and we had to make a movie about drugs and alcohol. Each group had to include two girls and a cookie pad somehow in the movie and of course drugs and alcohol. Now I am going to make a reflection about our movie. Our movie was about a new boy in a school meeting some friends and getting into the wrong path. Our sound quality was good overall, but I had to talk way more loudly. The camera was still and nice but we needed some various angles to support our story flow. The boys' acting skill was so good and they didn't look at the camera. Our editing skill was pretty good. They didn't interrupt the watcher's focus on the movie. The poem didn't really make sense and we didn't have the voiceover to cover it. The message in the movie was overally good although it was quiet a bit cliche. Our teamwork didn't work out that well because the girls were a lot out during the script making.

Hello my friend, 

The world is broad and extensive,

There are all those various things that you can do

But it doesn't have to be drugs,

Multiply trick

Today our class watched a simple maths trick video. It said that you can multiply by drawing lines. First, if you have an equation that is 16 by 11, you first take the 1 from 16 so draw one line horizontally in the middle and take the 6 from 16 and draw 6 lines by 1 line leaving some space between the two. Next, for the 11, draw one line the opposite way from 16. Then draw another line leaving the space between them. After that, you have to divide it to 3 sections. Draw the dots where the lines meet across and then draw a semicircle on the far left dot and far right dots. Add the numbers of the dots section by section. So it would be one on the left side and 7 in the middle and 6 on right. The answer would be 176.

Here is what I did.

This is the link of the video.

Translation

1. Explain what a translation is.

Translation is moving the shape. It looks exactly the same but in a different place.

1. Explain how a vector works. What does it look like? What does the top number indicate? What does the bottom number indicate?

Vector in translation has the information of the direction (left or right, up or down) the shape has move.

Rotational symmetry

Rotational symmetry is a shape that if it is rotated into certain angles, it matches with the original shape of it. Rotational symmetry is different to line symmetry because the line symmetry is a reflection, not a rotation. You check if the shape has a symmetry and try to visualise what happens if it gets rotated.

Order	Degrees of rotation to match its shape
2	180
3	270
4	360
5	450
10	1000

"MUM! Where are my favourite socks?" I asked yelling for help. 

"And where are my tuesday undies?" asked Dad searching through his drawers. "You know I have to wear them today!"

"Just wear Monday's undies! No one is going to know," replied Mum. 

"No ones going to know you say, I'm going to know and to wear Monday's undies. Pfft, that would be idiotic!" Dad answered back with a streak in his voice. This was only the beginning of our family disaster for the next few weeks. Things were starting to disappear and fast with Dad losing his Tuesday undies and me losing my favourite socks. Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie while mum then lost her favourite dress. We thought we were going mental. 

"It's not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac. Mum suggested that we recap our steps. "When was the last time you had you items?" she said. We all replied before washing day was the last time we had them. "So maybe it's the washing machine that caused all this drama" Mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eyes. So we checked the washing machine. There was… Nothing with nothing to prove. I decided to put a GoPro in the machine to watch it in action to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. "What I didn’t realize was that the washing machine would take my GoPro too. 

"AHHH ITS GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "What are we going to do?" 

"Let's just give up," Mum said to me.

"Fine, if that’s the best idea," I moaned. A few weeks later, Isaac had dropped his toy car behind the washing machine and as we were looking for it a pair of undies popped up out of the blue just sitting there. "Mum look!" I said with a big grin on my face. Who would have guessed? We both stood there smiling.

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. 

It was an ordinary day and everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils by their side. The sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears. I decided to listen to Brittney's conversation with Ella. 

"OMG, last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there!"explained Brittney. 

"No way!" replied Ella.

That exact thing happened to me I was sure. I put it into my bag. This is a little strange, I thought to myself why are things were disappearing.

Eventually the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head. I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery. As I unzipped the case. I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag. This is insane! I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise, my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds singing, it seemed like an ordinary day. I walked into my class that is usually full of colour but not today my class looked like a prison cell. "What happened?" I gasped. 

"Don't worry kids," assured Miss Green. "We have a thief in our class and I am going to get to the bottom of this one by one." Miss Green started checking our bags. Everyone seemed relaxed except for James. Miss Green made her way down the line and James was the last to be checked. 

"Oh," said Miss Green looking rather lost.

"What is this?" she asked James as she pulled out two books a pencil case my laptop and two class posters from James' bag.

I was utterly shocked to say the least. 

"I am so sorry," cried James. "It's just that everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better."

The truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not wanting stuff from other people.

It was a monday morning. I just got woken up by my mum to get ready for school. I got out of bed and reached down for my uniform but it wasn't there. I looked under my bed, under my pillows, but I couldn't find my uniform anywhere. "Kaidin! have you gotten in the shower yet?" 

"No mum I can't find my uniform!"

"Well you better find it quick or you will be going to school in your onesie!"

"But mum, I can't find it anywhere it’s like its just disappeared!" "Oh sure, just like all your other stuff huh? Kaidin," 

I got a note to go to school with to say that my uniform is lost and that I have to wear mufti just for today which was a pain because every teacher I walked past asked why I'm in mufti and where my uniform is so I just showed them the note and moved on. When I got home, I went to go grab my iPod from where I always put it but I looked and that wasn't there either. I yelled out to my Mum, "

Mum have you seen my iPod?"

"No, but do you know where did you last put it?"

"Mum, if I knew where I last put it, do you think I'd be asking you where it is?"
"Sorry, just trying to help."
I thought to myself that I'll try to find it later so I ran into my room to go on my PS3 but surprisingly it was not there.
"Mum!"
"Oh, what now Kaidin? I know you're up to mischief."
"Tell me where all my stuff is!"
"Kaidin, do you really think I would hide your uniform away from you so you would go to school in your onesies? Now what’s gone missing now?"
"My PS3 the whole thing, the controller is here but not my HDMI cable, power cord or my Elgato."
I really couldn't be bothered looking for all my stuff because it took me hours so I just thought of going for a bike ride. I walked outside to get my bike and I couldn't believe it. My bike had no tyres! By this time I've had enough. I went up to my
mum and said 
"Mum, I know you’ve put all my stuff somewhere please can I have it back?"
"Kaidin, I have hidden your stuff away would you like to get it back?"
"Yes where is it! where is it! where is it!"
"Right here."
My mum led me to her bedroom where my stuff was. All scatterd around the room, My PS3 the power cord, the HDMI and my Elgato my iPod was under her drawer. and my bike tyres were under Liam's bed and  my uniform was in my mum's drawers. Okay thanks mum for hiding my stuff thats okay ill do it again sometime hahaha yeah right

Peel paragraph

The woman looks stern with the prisoner. Initially, the woman's face is expressionless and has a serious look on her face. For example, if you had to go to jail when you didn't do something bad, you won't be smiling. Subsequently, she is not even bothering even when the girl is crying. To give another example, if your sister wants you to do something for her and you don't want to, when she cries, you don't want to do it even more. Lastly, she is caring for her inside but not showing. Par example, if your dad is crying you'll be flustered and wouldn't know what to do. So for the reasons given above, I think the woman looks very stern but soft inside.

Political Parties

National-

• Supporting families and members to turn away from the gang lifestyle.

I think this is a good policy because this will help New Zealand's crime to happen less and their family that got a great shock, National will help them to recover.

• Allowing courts to stipulate GPS monitoring on high-risk family violence offenders.

I think this is not very good because it would be hard to watch all those monitors and if they miss the important incident there is going to be very serious problem.

• Give every school high quality ultra-fast broadband and faster broadband to ensure every student can benefit from technology to achieve their best.

This will affect me directly because this will help me learn more.

• Encourage neighbouring schools working in densely populated areas to work together to share facilities, infrastructure, and capacity.

• Make the construction sector more productive by expanding the Apprenticeship Reboot to a total of 20,000 places and reducing compliance costs.

         Replace the KiwiSaver First Home Deposit Subsidy with a KiwiSaver HomeStart                    Grant, doubling the support for buying a new home and increasing the house price limits.

Labour

eliminating violence against women and children,

I think this is a good idea because there are many places and people that doesn't respect women and children.an Aged Care Commissioner to ensure our seniors are respected,
I think this policy is not that very good because there are many elders that are rich and it is not fair for others.

Restore $13m per year for Adult and Community Education

I think this will affect me directly because the education will develop and I will be able to learn better.

We will do away with the Families Commission and focus funding on an independent Children’s Commissioner.

Establish an independent Climate Commission, which would establish a carbon budgeting process for achieving significant emissions reduction targets.

Seek to play a leading role in international climate change negotiations for binding reductions in greenhouse gases, in a comprehensive and effective treaty.

Hippo - Nuo
Goat - Yhln

"You! Come over here!" Nuo screeched.
"What!" Yhln responded with an annoyment in its face.
"Why are you in my territory? You are not supposed to be here! Go back to yours!" Nuo said with releasing his halitosis.
"I'm not in your territory, see? I'm in mine. This is mine, and that is yours," Yhln answered levelly.
"No, you are lying! This is my territory from here to there! So you are in mine," shouted Nuo.
"I got here first so this is my territory. You have to move, you know," refuted Yhln.
"Well, I'm fatter than you so I take more space. Go away!" Nuo threated Yhln.

Answering the questions

I have been on this planet for 4000 years. I went there for my special mission 'stalk the King.' People that I am with are my friend David and my dog Merry. During the trip, my spaceship got damaged because of all the asteroids and those space rubbish. Then we decided to walk instead of fixing the spacecraft. We walked for 700,000 miles. When I almost reached my destination, I nearly fell to sleep. We were looking everywhere for the King's palace. Suddenly, we realised something feeling uncomfortable. We turned around, and no one was there but a funny looking alien. It had a really long tail-looking legs which the creature was almost dragging not walking, huge eyes blinking at us and lots of eyelashes that David was so jealous of. All of us screamed and ran, but I didn't. I fell. I was so surprised how the alien approached to me. I was sitting down, the creature swooped on me. I somehow kicked the alien and walked away, and I saw other aliens giggling and laughing at me. I went back to the creature that attacked me and I realised that it was a kite that those aliens were flying and playing with.
