Tips and tricks online! (Exclusive for pros and geniuses only!) "Not a Click Bait"

O.C.W.L.T Interact online in a kind, positive and helpful way.

This Term, Term 3 for the last few weeks in cyber smart we've been learning about Netiquette. If you don't know, Netiquette are the rules about behavior that's applied when communicating with people online. Netiquette, came from the words net and also etiquette. The Etiquette are some rules of behavior that are  considered to be good behavior/manners. It was really fun to learn how to reply appropriately to people online and I hope that you will reply that way too and use Netiquette. I think that Netiquette is really important because when your not doing the right thing online it could potentially hurt or upset people and it might also give a negative effect. My next step is to probably look for other things that's connected to Netiquette and how to be a pro online. Also another part of my next step is to us Netiquette, when ever I can.
  
How does Netiquette affect our relationships?
The Netiquette affect our relationships by making our manners better online, it also makes people's feelings better and it helps to make more friends.

The life, of the life maker.

This week we  focused on this video which is called partly cloudy, it is made by Disney. Then after watching the video we started to write about it and it became our guide. It is a story about friendship and being a best friend are a friend generally. I really hope that you'll like this story and I hope that you'll be inspired by it; have a nice day, bye!

By the way here is the video : "Partly Cloudy"

"Partly Cloudy"


It’s the time when the sky turn yellowish and the clouds turn pink, they were as pink as the pink panther but where as fluffy as a silkie. The sun gave warm aura that left a cheerful mood on the sky.
In those clouds I could see many species of birds flying around and having fun, but one stands out of them all… Storks.

They deliver babies of any sort, from animals to humans. They carry them using blankets and deliver them to people/animal who ask for one. They deliver them to adults, they put the babies through windows and  at the doorway, then knock on the door. They deliver them to adult humans, but also to adult animals, like dogs, etch.

They get these babies from clouds but not just any ordinary clouds but from magical ones called, life makers. They make them from pieces of cloud then shocks it to give it life. They form the creatures ears, head and the whole body. But before they give them to the storks to deliver, they sometimes play with them first and even give them treats to eat.

They are all happy and joyful and cheerful except for one. Gus… Gus the grey cloud. Nobody was friends with him and he was always under the others.  But he’s not that lonely he had a best friend.

His best friend was also a stork and his name is Bob. He looked a bit more different that the others because some part of his body was almost featherless. This is why… When Gus started to make baby things he didn’t make cute and harmless creatures he still made creatures but, they were a bit harmful. At first he made a red bellied piranha that took some of Bob’s feather off. Next he made a big baby barracuda,  that bit Bob’s leg with it’s teeth luckily his teeth was not that sharp. This is why Gus had no friends and also the reason that Bob looked more different than the others.

As Gus looked around he sees the other clouds making adorable creatures he went jealous. He took a piece of a cloud, he rolled it and molded it to an animal that so adorable and kawaii that the other clouds would get jealous of him. It was the time for giving it life, (zzzaaappp!).  Then it turn into… a crocodile!!! The crocodile had razor sharp teeth, sharp fingernails and big, huge grin.

He thought that you know… it won’t be that bad, so he called Bob to deliver it. While waiting for Bob, Gus petted the crocodile and played around with him but it didn’t turn out good he bit Gus’s finger  luckily Gus was a cloud so it didn’t hurt. All of a sudden Bob came Gus hugged Bob and then showed the baby croc.

“Hehehehe” Bob nervously laughed. Suddenly the baby croc pounce and grabbed into Bob’s head with his big mouth. “Whaghahah” Bob shouted so Gus grabbed the body and tail of the croc so he would let go.  Finally the baby croc let go and quickly Gus put the baby croc in the blanket and gave it to Bob to deliver.
“Heh” Bob nervously laughed again, carefully Bob grabbed the top of the wrapped blanket and he carefully flew with it.
(10 minutes later, voice by the french guy in spongebob)

Before Bob returned, Gus prepared another chunk of cloud and for Bob to deliver;again. All of sudden Bob came. (More of his feathers were falling off by the way). Gus hugged Bob and then shocked the molded cloud and gave it life this time it was a baby Big horn. The baby ramed and headbutted Bob. Next after that Gus put the baby in the blanket for Bob to deliver again.

Suddenly Bob saw another life maker and another stork having fun with a dog. Gus noticed him looking at the others and felt hurt and felt that he wasn’t good enough. But then Bob quickly turned to Gus and smiled, then he took the baby and delivered it.

There were many unlucky encounters for Bob today, like when he got spiked by the porcupine made by Gus, etch. Then after Bob again Gus presented a mold of a shark!!!

Bob went to another cloud and seem that he was playing with them.

Gus went furious and he became wrathful, he struck lighting for second but then he sobbed; and his tears made rain. Unexpectedly Bob came back only to have a amor with him. He explain what happened and said that he only got an amor and was going back to Gus after getting an amor.

Gus hugged him and sobbed again; and they continued to be a team.

The End.

Slime Making!!!

Today the whole class is making slime for a fun day. We earned this fun day because we have filled our marble jar. The marble jar is a jar that we fill with marbles when we are being quiet or just by being amazing. We needed to fill it to get a fun day, where we can do fun and amazing things. Near the end of term 2, we filled our marble jar and choose ice cream for our fun day. Now this term, term 3 we filled it again. We had many things to choose from like making sushi s, a lolly cake, etch. But we choose to make slime. We are now in groups and choosing recipes of slime that we want.

This is the recipe/video:

WALT: Fractions- Solve part unknown problems using multiplication and division.

This is a strategy that we've learn this week which was to solve part unknown problems using multiplication and division.  This strategy was very easy to learn and was very easy to use. I hope that you'll use when answering par unknown problems, bye!

The Man On The Piano

This story is about a man that played the piano and he is trying to pass his memories to his grandson by his music and things that he passed on to him. By playing the music he remembered happy and also some sad memories throughout his life. This is the story was from a video that we watched this week, we were supposed to write a story about it, and the video was our guide line. I hoped that you'll like it!

W.A.L.T
  • I know I will be successful when …
  • Re-call what is happening in the video.
  • Use adjectives and experiment with language features.
  • Use paragraphs correctly.
  • Begin sentences with different/ interesting sentence starters.
Here is the video:

Distressing, somber, drab those are the words that describe my music. I’m playing my old, classic piano and playing the music that I had always played when I was with my wife, when she was alive.The tone was as gentle and as fragile as a butterfly. Every single notes brought back many treasured memories that are as cherished as gold and diamond. I remembered those days like they were yesterday, when we were doing a duet on the piano. But even if she isn’t here when I play this music I’ll always feel her warm aura and love on my cheek and deep in my heart. Suddenly my depressing, sorrowful, crestfallen rhythm turned into a bit more exultant of a music.

I didn’t just remembered happy memories but I also remembered forlorn moments in my life, and one of them was about the great world war. My bestfriend and I joined it as we thought that it would be a fun adventure. Although when we were there we didn’t see men smiling laughing and having a fun time, but men dying one after the other.
I was assigned to be taking care of the men who got shot. Soldiers fell fast like they were a row of dominoes.

While the world was having the war I felt a strange tinge in the air. It was hatred and anger, mix up…. that feeling was malevolence. The malevolence filled all of their mind, and it also started to fill mine.

All of the soldiers started to shoot their guns not even trying to hide or trying to take cover. (Bang!) I looked to my side and saw John lying on the floor spreading more and more blood. I tried to save him, however it was too late, but before he died he was able to speak one more time and said “Jack my friend, it’s my time- don’t worry we will me aga-”. Before he could finish sentence, he passed away.

Lastly my final memory is the memory when I was a child when my dad gave me the a wooden hobby horse and I that exact horse is the present that I gave my grandson. As I finish my music I gave my grandson my book and my music filled with memories that are filled with love. When I hit the last note, I was suddenly transferred into a place where I saw John and my wife standing in front of me.

HPS Extravaganza!!!

This term, term 3 Ako Ngatahi have been looking at NZ songs from famous people that lived in NZ, a New Zealander. We had a bunch of songs to choose from to perform in the Hornby High school Auditorium we will perform for two days, so if people missed out on the first one they could go the other one. I choose the song "We Don't Know How Lucky We Are" (Performed by Fred Dagg/ John Clarke in the 1970's). Some people who also choose "We Don't Know How Lucky We Are" became my group, their names were Vann, Khush and Aisa. We performed it yesterday which was at the 30th of August and we will perform it today too which would be at the 31st of August. Of course we had costumes too, we had to wear flannel shirt, shorts and a bucket hat. I was not only in that performance, I was in the cultural dance too, with Vann and some other Filipinos. Before we performed I was a bit nervous, but less nervous than when it was my first time performing in front of a stage. I think my group and the other group did very well. We all smiled at the audience while performing our "dance" and being enthusiastic. I think I did a good job at performing my group's dance because I gave it my best.

This is the music video:
