In jumpjam I can do moves and actions better, and I am now stronger than at the start of the year. I can also run way faster when we do laps around the field. I have achieved the success criteria.

Shantytown Visit



On Wednesday 10th Blaketown school went to Shantytown. When we left on the bus everyone was happy because the principal took his car, if he was we would all have to be silent! When we arrived we all had to line up in classes, then we all silently walked into Shantytown. We walked into this large room to put our bags away, then walked down the the end room. We had a look at some toys and what years they were made in. Then we went out to morning, everyone just walked around and had something to eat. We went back in and learnt what they were made out of, why people made them and what type of toys rich and poor people had back in the 1800’s. Then when got split up into 4 groups, we played games such as, Throw the horse shoe , Hit the hoop, Stilts and dominoes. When lunch came along people were playing with the stuff we had played with before and some people were watching a weka. After lunch we played some more games like, a alphabet challenge, golden nugget finding, Marco polo, and musical chairs. Then after lunch we went into the room and all sat down quickly and silently for Mrs Barber. We had to decide in groups what toys they played with at different years for both girls and boys, then someone said the goodbye and we all had a loud ride back.

My Mask

My Mask

We had to construct a mask using materials with the stuff we got from home. Our teacher brought in some materials for the people who didn't bring anything in when they were supposed to, also for the people who need more stuff to put onto their mask. We did this cause this year we have been learning about sustainability so we made sustainable art. I learnt that to design something really awesome you don't use just one plain color, you use multiple colors that suit each other. To make it 3D I learnt that instead of making it a flat mask you need to glue stuff onto it. Then you need to be cautious that you don't mix 2 colors together. If you do when it's dry go back over them. The colors I used were black and red, the reason why I choose them is because there is a Wrestler Called Demon Kane and he wears a mask that is black and red. I didn't get a black wig but I tried my best to make it look like him but with just some additional features. The design of my mask was really cool , firstly I thought of the idea to put some sunglasses on it, then a mouse from a old kids computer. Then I had to put beads around the outside to cover up the white. Then I also used some fluffy pom poms for the hair.

John Morrison And His Castle | Youtuber



One day in the haunted Place between Asia and China lived a little mountain with a mysterious castle near it. The man that lived inside of it was John Morrison. John Morrison wasn’t the strongest guy out of all, he was one of the weak ones. He normally wore no T-Shirt during the day, at night he puts on like a scarf around his body, and also he wears black jeans all day. He never washes his clothes, he throws them out of his window then goes down to his basement to go onto shore to retrieve them.  The castle isn't just an ordinary castle, it's haunted and it’s made out of the bricks from the 1900’s. It doesn’t look old and smelly on the inside. The inside is like a 16 year olds room, posters everywhere, computer monitors, playstations, and it's like a normal house. But just in a castle shape. John Morrison has no friends, except the water, he has never ever wanted to live on the shiny horizon or inside a fancy perfect town. He’s always wanted to live on water, he wanted to be the king of the water someday. So he said to himself when he was young “ When I grow up, i'm going to live on water, IN A AWESOME CASTLE!!!!!” he said. He has the worst looking boat in the world, it was bad, small and it was his, but it traveled perfect In water (except when big waves came). He traveled for 25 minutes one day and he found a mountain with water curving into it and a little rock poking out of the water. It took 1 year to build a castle up there. Then he took his room, into the castle. He lived the life he always wanted to live. During this time some really spooky stuff has happened, he’s been through a demon dungeon, ghost dimensions and even worst stuff.

One day he was walking across the sand seeing if any greenstone had flown in from the sea overnight, he’s been doing this every single day ever since he moved here, he’s never found atleast 1 piece. That day he didn't find any, he was so sad that he just wanted to mine in his basement, which there was nothing to mine, he grabbed his hammer and dug a bit, he found this mysterious gap, he made it larger so he could fit in,, and there it was. 1 piece of greenstone, his dream had come true he finally found 1 piece. He grabbed his camera and made a vlog, saying that he finally found a piece of greenstone. Luckily he had 1 bar of wifi from a house 30 kilometres away, somehow the wifi can reach. He uploaded it on Youtube, his channel name is Haunted Gamer 25. He was so happy that he cried, so long he wanted one piece, and he finally got it.

The next day a bunch of people called him because of his video, he was so happy and now he’s actually famous, he appeared on the news cause the lastest video of his was his castle, everyone thought it was so interesting, and now he’s such a famous youtuber.
