W3 T4 CC


This we for Chapter Chat I did Research Center. For this task, we had to research sunflower seeds. This task was really fun. The hardest part was drawing all the flowers because I havent ever drawn flowers in the past. The easiest part was finding info about sunflower seeds because their was lots and lots of info on he internet and really handy websites. I really liked this taskand I rate it a 10/10.

Overhand knot


For my third knot for my Whetu Survivor, I did an Overhand knot. This knot can be used as a stopper knot which can stop the ends of a rope from fraying. This knot was very very easy to tie because it only had a couple of steps and they were all simple so I rate this knot a difficulty rating of 1/5.

Taughtline Hitch knot

For our Whetu Survivor, the Extreme team had to learn how to tie knots for my second knot I tied a Taughtline Hitch knot. I found this knot partly easy because some parts were really easy but some parts were a bit challenging and confusing so that's why ill give this knot a difficulty rating of 3/5. I did some research on what you could use this knot for and it said it can be used for lines under tension. 


Clove Hitch Knot


For our Whetu Survivor, the Extreme Team had to learn how to tie knots. One of the knots that I have mastered tying was the Clove Hitch knot.  I think a Clove Hitch knot could be used for Securing lines running along a line of posts. For this knot, I would give it a difficulty rating of 1/5 because this knot was really easy to follow the instructions because it was really simple. I really enjoyed tying this knot.

T4 W1 CC A Way with Words


This week for Chapter Chat I did A Way with Words. The task was to write a persuasive piece of writing to someone asking for new shoes. The hardest part of this task was thinking of reasons why you need new shoes. The most fun part was drawing the shoes because you got to design them how you wanted them. This task was fun and challenging and I really enjoyed it.

T4 W1 CC Digital Design


This week for Chapter Chat I did Digital Design. For Digital Design we had to make business cards. This relates to the story because Coach Brody has business cards for his taxi company and for the Defenders Track Team which is the track team he coaches. The best part of this activity was making the logo because you could design any logo you wanted. The hardest part was figuring out the layout of my cards because sometimes things didn't look good beside other things. I really liked this activity it was both challenging and fun. I give it a 10/10.

Netball Camp


I really got my body moving on the first week of my holiday break. Together Lola and I went to a two-day six-hour netball camp in Hamilton hosted by two of the Magic players. This activity was really fun but challenging and it really pushed me to my limits of knowledge about Netball and fitness.

The first terrific day was just netball drills and some tips to get our Netball skills up. On the second day, my body was aching and I really didn't feel like going. But when I heard Kacey Kopua a really good Silver Fern was going to be there I definitely changed my mind so I raced out of bed to get ready.

When we got there and it was time to start we were straight into Seven Aside netball games. Since I had only played Seven Aside once before I was struggling to play and didn't know where each position was allowed and what I was supposed to do but after a while, I got the hang of everything.

 Later in the afternoon when Kacey arrived we had to play so many more Seven Aside netball games but it was fun because I knew how to play. I really enjoyed going to the netball camp because I made a  lot of new friends and I learnt new things about Netball and I would love to go again.
