Coding first day. All of the students sat down on the mat and Mr Walker said the first thing to do is draw a character. First bit of code we had to duplicate the character then face it the other way. The code was to turn it each way and made it go left an right, up and down. Next we learnt how to make a background i did a black ground,dark blue sky and a not so bright sun. Dylan E tort me how to make my happy face sprite fall out of the sky and went you touch them they spawn in random places. Aiden H tort me  how to shoot.Nathan w tort me how to transform into a different sprite when e is pressed.

A long time ago sun flew across the sky really fast and day were shorter and no work was done. So Maui got his four brothers and made a rope of flax then set off a night to where the roused. So then they made a little wall of stones. Soon the sun awoke and the brothers tangled the sun in the flax. Maui got this fishing hook and hit the sun again and again Maui told the sun not to move across the sky so quickly and the sun keep his promise and now day were longer and more work was done. 

Witches Film Essay By Max B

Witches film essay By Max B

Nicolas Roeg is the director of the witches movie in 1990. roeg used lots of technique like cross cutting,special effects,editing and camera angles.Nicolas based the movie on the book by Roald Dahl in 1983.

Roeg put in stuff that make the audience fell sick,uncomfortable this makes people jump back in there seats.Roeg also did close up so you're facing the person well the background is all fuzzy.Also Roeg used zoom in so from a far way angle then it quickly or slowly zooms in.

Roeg used a technique called high angle.This angle was used to zoom in from a high place. It was used in the movie when the witch looked at a girl from her high window. This angle is used to help the audience see what the characters are looking at.

Tail away is another technique that Roeg used. The way its used is that the character walks away from the camera. In the movie this technique when the car drove away from the hotel with Grandma and Luke in it. This made the viewer fell safe.

Roeg used these techniques to understand the movie the witches.

the Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in the North Island of New Zealand in 1840 it tog 3 days for it to be signed because of all the people in the line .

A musket is a powerful weapon they used for defence it is a one shot weapon that can kill a man in one shot it can not go far it was meant to be a close range weapon that they used to kill a lot of people.

King Tawhiao stopped the war between maori and british by putting the gun down by the britishs feet and the british accepted to live together in peace and not harming each other.  

The treaty is how maori and british kept the peace and  lived together without war.

   !Hiking!

By max!

Thursday morning at the mountain people hiking and mountain biking. Three hours of hiking up Pirongia mountain. There were lots of hills to struggle  and rivers to cross.

I was puffing up the hills then through a forest then through sticky swampy yucky mud that didn't want to come off. Soon we got out into this desert place to have lunch there were some bones and gun shells lots of stuff to do and berries to try the worse part is that we had to go.

There were so much things to learn and things to look at so much hills to run down everything was amazing and fluffy plants that left  snow flying in the air happily in the fateful air. Next there were mountain tracks that had never ending hills. We made it to the end like we just won a gold medal. We had a big rest and watched a movie!!
