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.

My Book Cover

For my Best Blog on the Block, I recreated a book cover from the book A Dogs Journey. We had to recreate a book cover from a book that we have been reading at school or at home. The aim of this task is for it to have 100% effort put into it. And to make your blog the best blog on the block. I really enjoyed this task. My favourite part was making the flower border because I got to choose whatever flower I wante and I got ot make them different sizes. I give this task a 10/10.

My Fabulous Finish

For the past couple of weeks, we have been working on our Fabulous Finishes. I decided to do more about me on Zero. The reason I chose to do Zero was that he is my favourite character and in the book, they told us a lot of information about Zero. My favourite part was drawing and colouring all the pictures. The hardest part was drawing Mary Lou in the boat because it took a long time to get the shape of the donkey right. I really loved this terms Fabulous Finish I give it a 10/10.

The Warden

This week for Chapter Chat I did Creation Station. I went back from prior weeks and decided to do the Warden. The hardest part was getting the eyes done right because one would always be bigger then the other or off to an angle. The most fun part was blending the eyes because you got to experiment with different colours. I really liked this activity I give it a 10/10.
