Resizing Images

Today I learnt how to resize images, In different ways. When you post a image on the web it wont be the right size that you wanted it to be.

Long Bay extraordinaire

It was a miserable critical morning as all the trees were swaying side to side. We all gather to the hall and get ready to head out to Long Bay regional park, as it is near the Okura bush scenic reserve. As we all are aboard on the one bus mixed amongst 3 classes of 29 children. We were squashed! As we arrive at the regional park we were greeted to Sarah, James and Maureen our instructors for the day. The 3 classes are split into 3 groups each, we all don’t know what  our day will be like but the quicker we hurry up and go the quicker we get a life experience.

We are all in our groups so we skedaddle off. As we walk past a 500 meter high cliff we see that there is a sign that says(“ Beware  as there are falling rocks!”) I felt frightened. So we are all notified.

Then we see a number of rock pools ahead of us not even warned of what to do, you already see our entire class already finding different kinds of sea animals. We all get a tray each and scoop a cup of water so that they will still be breathing as we experience them. I went near a rock pool that had a rock in it, I pulled it back to see whats under it and I see a starfish. I was pleased that I found one  for the first time in my life.

There were big creatures and little creatures the most weirdest thing I found which I thought was creepy had a curvy shape, when I showed my teacher she thought it was a brain.

Shellfish(molluscs-bivalves. The word Molluscs means soft body and in the category are Scallops, Ringed Venus shell, Morning star, Tuatua and Mussel. Thats what I learnt I thought that, that was the best features I liked.

That visit was a life's experience for me as I learnt a lot of facts about rocky pools and next

time I see a Rocky pool I will look and be successful.

Fishing rules.

Today I learnt what the rules of catching types of fish. Those few fish were Blue Moki, Tarakihi,Red Cod and Snapper. This is our poster that Anamanu and I created it has all the rules and the length.

The last war.

Having to shoot

in our own boots

Make us think

about the last day we’ll blink.

Watching all the planes crash,

in a flash.

Taking that last glance,

as they stand in their shooting stance

Is probably the last time,

knowing that war is a crime.

As now we think of the ones we’ve lost

We havent realise how much we've lost

Creating loopy people.

Today in maths we learnt to measure body parts, Half the measurment, apply the halved measurments to measure, cut and create our ''loopy people''.

Reflection
It was easy to connect the body parts
It was hard to add the correct measurments to the loopy person.

My feelings on coming to term 2 with a Blast!

When I got told that we start back to school on the 5th of May I had been excited to see everyone and have another exciting term with our teachers Mrs Parker and Mrs Taj.

Yesterday the 5th of May, was the first day of term 2. We started off with a Blast! As we missed one of our teachers (Mrs Parker) as she went to graduate to become a full teacher with our other teacher

(Mrs Raj). It was very nice as we welcomed her back the next day. That morning was our Netball session with coach. It was the best Netball session ever! And we would like to go back to the courts in a matter of no time.

Basketball Reflection.

Today was the last week of our Basketball coaching with Steph. As we usually do every week on Tuesday's we do warm ups. So we had to do shuttles, shuttles is a type of excersise which you have to run/jog towards the Mid-court line, run back and then run to the base line(Opposite side of the court). Before we knew it we were already puffed out. So then we had to split in to 2 groups mixed between about 12-14 players on each team. The teams were non tags and tags. In our teams we got split in little groups having to play little games on half the court. Then a full game with about 6-7 players each game. Then one of the classmates Jack stood up and said a moving Thank You to coach Steph.Walking back to class with a breeze hitting the back of our neck.

What did I learn? I learnt that Basketball is a very suprising sport it shows that you can use your skills in able to become a better player everytime.The most difficult part about Basketball is having to travel, well thats what I reckon because if you get to out of hand there is a chance of you trying to travel with the ball. What I liked the most? I liked the tricks of the week because it showed that you could become better at Basketball by using tricks in your games.
