Monday 26 August for the whole day girls in room 41 and 42 went and did self defense and the boys did film making all day. We made a script and we made it into a movie and showed it to the class. One of the things we had to have in it were cookie pads. Connor accidentally throw one down the hill and didn't tell the teacher. The next day on Tuesday Travis told the teacher and so Connor had to find it or his family would have to pay a $60.00 bill for the cookie pad. So Connor, Kodi, Zane and I went down the hill just out of the gate of Tauranga Intermediate School and went down to the estuary when Zane say 3 boys and told us. We chased after them after realizing they had a scooter. We didn't catch them as they ran into the bush. "Don't come closer, we will knock you out, we don't want to hurt you" 3 boys said. They stashed the scooter in some leaves and ditched to miervale.

My Weekend Poem

Playing Battlefield 3 with Zane and friends, I spawn in, its conquest again.
I jump in the Abrams go to the flag, with my gunner in hand to cap the flag.
I see a tank, Its shooting at me, oh look who it is ,Its the damn russians how mean.
I fire back at them hope to destroy them with my gunner on repairs.
We destroy them fast, he repairs my reactive armour, as we start our epic rampage.
We go get some more flags and kills, as the heli shooting at us as hard as he can.
We turned the barrel 180 degrees, as I shot the main gun oh that was fun.
The points come up on the screen saying "Double kill". I yell really hard. Zane is raging he is really mad as he says, "you are so bad"

Homework Week 1-2 Research Task

XO Laptop is a cheap laptop for the purpose built for developing children's learning in countries. The size of the OLPC (One laptop per children) is about the size of a textbook. The XO Laptop was designed to be a cheap, small and efficient. The Laptop includes the following video camera 640x480, microphone, long-range Wi-Fi, and a touch pad. With the standard plug-in power cord there is also a solar power. Some amazing facts about it is it is dust proof. It is also water proof so anything water wont hurt it, and it is completely drop proof which is amazing. It has a 6 hour lasting battery and 24 hour if you are reading. You can also get a the solar panel as mentioned early for$12.00 ad on. One other thing about the XO laptop is that in a 2 week period if you bought one you donate one to a poor child in a different country just paying a bit extra. In my opinion I think this laptop is cool because it helps poor people in schools improve there learning and it is amazing what it does. 

Bullying

I have experienced a bit of bulling myself in primary not so much in intermediate. I have experienced name calling not much else then that but thats mainly what I have been bullied at. In primary I was in a big group of friends and didn't get bullied.

In my opinion bulling in some schools is not dealt with. Bulling should be dealt with better because its sad for the person getting bulling and the bully doesn't stop sometimes in some schools because they don't punish them enough. I think if bulling should be dealt with parents.

For and Against 12/8/14

Battlefield better then Call of Duty Black Ops 2

For: In battlefield there is more of a variety of guns and kits, in Battlefield there is recon with spawn beacons, assault with medic pack and defibrillator, engineer with repair tool and a support class with ammo packs.
Battlefield has tanks, helicopters, jets and a cool plane that is the a-10 thunderbolt. I like the vehicles in battlefield because they are really cool and I use the tanks a lot and they are really cool, I normally use ground vehicles and the others normally use flying vehicles.  

Against: Call of Duty is more of a quick game not as long as battlefield and the I like snipers and so Call of Duty would be better for me because there is bullet drop in battlefield and its really hard to use a sniper.

For and Against of For and Against

For: They are exiting to do then the old blog posts. 

Its fun because its not just a blob of writing and boring to do.

I am a genius.

Against: Its really hard to think of a topic for for and against.

Homework Blogpost Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (abbreviated as AR) is a environment that has both of virtual reality (Computerized) and real world stuff. An example of AR is the yellow line that is seen in TV programs of football games that is drawn over the real life image by computers in time with the real life image as seen in these pictures.            

                                                                          ^                                                                                                
Another perfect example would be google glasses. You can use the google glasses to explain augmented reality. You could measure something with google glasses, you can receive calls from people and you would be able to see it in the corner of your eye.

Something that annoys me.

 Some of the things that annoy me mostly is my sister, My sister is always harassing me what ever I do. She always curses at me and mum and dad don't care. It really annoys me because if I call her even one bit wrong I get in trouble it doesn't make sense and she is only one year older then me at the moment but she is turning 15. It doesn't make sense to me.
