1 week back
Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be talking to you about what we have been doing this week. This week we have been doing athletics training and we have done high jump, long jump, shot putt, and discuss practice. We have our actual athletics day in a couple of weeks and this is just building up to it. My favorite part of athletics is definitely the high jump because I have some spring in my feet.
The Holiday Ski Trip
Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be telling you about what I did during the holidays. In the holidays my main highlight was the ski trip I went on with my family. We went up to Cadrona which is on a mountain between Queenstown and Wanaka. For the first day we went up there I wanted to ski like I normally do but the next day we went up there I wanted to learn how to snowboard. I got a snowboard lesson because I had never done it before. After the lesson, I was already going down the chair lift

Minecraft instant ice
Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be showing you my instant ice experiment in Minecraft. Now when I did the experiment in real life I did not know that you had to put salt in the water to make it freeze better. Me and my friend made a massive cup in Minecraft and then put ice in it. After that, we made a bottle of water tipping water on to it. The water was turning into ice in Minecraft the second it hit the ice. We added some detail to the cup-like a heart and no 1 so it was not just a plain white cup.
The experiment we did was super fun afterward though because I got to have a slushy with the liquids I used. I hope you guys like my science experiment we did and I also hope you like the Minecraft creation we did too.

Here are some facts and knowledge about New Zealand sign language. NZSL is a combination of hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements.

Microwaves 4 Days
Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be showing you my little business that we had to create for school this week. I did this with my friend Jayden and Reilly. Jayden originally came up with the idea for this business but then we helped him make this slide and basically make it a real fake business. The business is called Microwaves 4 days and we sell microwaves. You can rent them and buy them but we do not have a website.

Ernest Rutherford
Welcome back to another blog post, and today I will be telling you a little bit about Ernest Rutherford. Rutherford was a New Zealand–born British physicist who came to be known as the father of nuclear physics. Encyclopedia Britannica considers him to be the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday. Ernest Rutherford postulated the nuclear structure of the atom, discovered alpha and beta rays, and proposed the laws of radioactive decay. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908. I also made a poster on what he did in his lifetime. I hope you enjoy.

Matariki Story
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be showing you my Matariki story. Matariki is all about celebration and spending time with family. Matariki was also important for agriculture. The coming of Matariki symbolized the harvest festival where the Maori feasted on the crops they had prepared. Matariki is important because it also is the time to restart the Maori calendar. I hope you enjoy my Matariki story.
Air pollution pixel art
Welcome back to another blog post and today I am going to be showing you my air pollution art I made on pixel art. This art piece shows one of the worst global issues, air pollution. Air pollution is so bad because it kills all of our wildlife and sometimes even us. On the last part, you may notice that the bird dies, but that is what is going to happen if we keep polluting the air they will try to fly through it but then they will breathe it in and die. I hope you like my air pollution art.

My pleasing portrait
I hope you have had an amazing 7-8 week holiday but now we are back to school for another year of blogging.
One of the pieces of art we have done so far this year is our portraits. My portrait has not been finished just yet but when I do finish it I will update this post with it on it.
Some of the things you will see in the portrait are my favourite things to do. One of my favourite things to do is karate, I have been doing it since I was 5 years old and I have continued doing it until this very day. Right now I am a black belt and even if you don't do karate most people know that that is the highest belt
Another thing I love to do that you will see is training. I love to train every morning from 5:00-5:30 and after I have trained I do a 3-4 k walk with my dad and my dog. I do this every weekday and then at the weekend I have a bit of asleep in.
And last but not least I love to do sport like soccer, and swimming. This year I have entered the swimming sports and I am gonna do Freestyle. This year I am also gonna play for a soccer team called the wizards. So I hope this year is gonna be a good one.
Romero Britto is the man that I got the influence from with his style of drawing but you can't see it right now but you should see it by next week.
I hope you all have a good year as well happy new year and I will be posting again next week so bye.

waste to me
I think that waste is basically trash that gets chucked in the bin after you have used it. Did you know that New Zealanders currently generate about 734kg of waste each per year? That amount has increased by around 20 per cent over the past three years. And also Waste can be put into five types of waste which is all commonly found around the house. These include liquid waste, solid rubbish, organic waste, recyclable rubbish and hazardous waste. Make sure that you segregate your waste into these different types to ensure proper waste removal.
out of our homes but we are also helping create new things with our waste like paper cup holders new garbage
