Lego Countdown.

I have been building a lego countdown over the past few days. If you want to build it too, then all you have to do is go to countdown and get your very own starter kit. There are two types of starter kits, the deluxe starter kit and the normal starter kit. I bought the deluxe starter kit and it looks awesome, I recommend you to buy this kit too. Even after you buy the kit, you need the pieces inside. For every thirty dollars that you spend at countdown, you get a piece. Here is my lego countdown so far.

 Term 4 Week 2

My recount.

Today I made a recount about lockdown, it was easy for me because I didn't need to think too much. I just wrote what happened during lockdown so far. So anyway, here is my recount.

My fun and boring lockdown.

On 17th August 2021, delta hit New Zealand like how lightning hits a rod, and that's when it all started. The case numbers started increasing, the hospitals started filling up, and then that's when the most horrible thing happened, level four lockdown had begun! I was petrified by the news, in my head I was thinking, "this is horrible, no terrible, no that's not what it is, it's dreadful!" I was tremulous and confused inside, but outside I was just a normal kid, with a normal face. "This is alright", I said , "this is alright, it can't be that bad, can it?" Each night I said to myself "see this isn't so bad." And I was right it wasn't that bad, it was actually quite fun. I got to cook with my mum, play soccer with my family every single day, read more books, watch more tv, and best of all, have movie nights everyday, if I wanted to. Everyday lockdown started to get more, and more fun. I couldn't resist telling myself that lockdown, which at first seemed tedious and dreadful, was now very fun and exciting. That excitement didn't last very long, after a couple of weeks it was back to square one. The only difference is this time I wasn't terrified, bewildered or bored, I was angry and wanted to be with my friends. But on 21 September everything changed, Auckland moved to alert level 3, I started having more hope and getting less angry, the best thing was that case numbers were decreasing. I knew that it was still lockdown, but I didn't actually care anymore, because now I have more hope. Now, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I actually look forward to the next day, hoping that lockdown will end.

 Term 4 Week 2

Tessellation.

Yesterday I learned about tessellation, which is basically a pattern made of shapes that has no gaps or overlaps. For a better explanation, check out the slide below.

 Term 4 Week 1

Transformations.

Today our maths task was to create different tivaevae designs using different transformation skills. I have never tried this before so it was quite hard for me, the design took me about an hour. If you want to try it and you don't know how to do it, press this link.  So anyway, here are my tivaevae designs.

Term 4 Week 1

Stay hygienic.

Today our writing task was to make a PSA (public service announcement), I had never made a PSA before so it was a bit hard for me. I made the PSA in canva, where you can make videos, posters, presentations etc. The best part is, whatever it is that you choose to make, the results are always good. Because of canva the PSA wasn't that hard to make. So anyway, here is my PSA.

 Term 4 Week 1

Snowflake.

Today the maths task was to make a snowflake out of coloured paper, but I don't have coloured paper at my house so instead of making it out of paper I made an online snowflake. Luckily I already knew a website to make online snowflakes her is the link if you want to go and make an online snowflake yourself. Anyway here is my snowflake.

 Term 4 Week 1

Lockdown.

Lockdown has not been great for me, but I'm kind of glad we had a lockdown, because my kumon homework was driving me crazy! At least now I don't have to stress about finishing my kumon homework on time. During lockdown I started going on more walks, usually I don't really have the time to go on walks, not even short ones. Lockdown has actually allowed me to spend more time with my family, and as I said before, I don't usually have the time. Lockdown has also allowed me to do more things, like watching more movies, cycling more, cooking with my mum and many more. How has lockdown been for you? Did you get to do anything new, that you haven't been able to do out of lockdown? If so please feel free to comment it down, I would love to hear about your lockdown.

 Term 4 Week 1

Beach Safety.

This week our class had to make beach safety posters. It was easy for me because I already know the best app to make posters, canva. Canva is a app where you can make posters, slides and heaps more.

 Term 4 Week 1

My Geoboard.

Today we had to do maths tasks, which was usually quite easy and boring, but today everything changed. Today, the maths task itself changed of course, but instead of being easy and boring, it was kind of easy and fun. Today we had to do geometry, which of course I already knew. For geometry we had to use a Geoboard, which I had never used before, so it was quite exciting for me. Here is a picture of my task.

Term 3 Week 10

Daily Writing Task.

This week we started doing daily writing tasks, we had to write one paragraph, here is my paragraph.

Deliciousness.

The aroma filled the air, I bit into a crunchy Nacho which made a loud crunching noise as soon as I bit into it. The cream melted in my mouth which made the Nacho a bit soft. As soon as the tender beef reached my mouth flavours burst out. Everything felt like it belonged there, it was perfect. The Nachos sucked in all the flavour, it was almost like it told the beef and cream to give their flavour. Even though Beef Nacho looks simple it's flavours are actually quite complex.

Term 3 Week 5

 30.7.21

The amazing Olympics.

This morning my teacher asked us if we wanted to watch the olympics, of course we said yes. So she put up gymnastics, while watching gymnastics I realized that for doing gymnastics you need momentum, balance and timing. There's a lot of physics in gymnastics as well, after watching gymnastics for few minutes we watched swimming where South Africa won two times. We also watched rowing where you need a lot of arm power and lots of power in your legs. This actually helped me decide what I was going to do first when I got home,I am going to watch the Olympics because it was so awesome.

Term Three Week 1 30.7.21

My Awesome Holiday.

In the holidays I went to a few places and watched MasterChef because I'm a fan. One of the few places I went to was my friends house. My friends name is Anaz and he is very good at Fortnite. The first thing I first thing I did when I went to his house was play with his l lego. He has lots of lego, but the only lego that he doesn't have is a solar robot. We played lego for one hour, after that we went biking. Biking was fun but I fell at least five times. Every time I fell my friend taunted me until I got so angry that I just cycled my broken body back to his house. After about million hours, my friend finally came back to his house. He was really dirty now so he went to wash himself int the bathroom. I waited and I waited but he still did not come. So I decided to knock on the door. This time he did answer, but the answer wasn't so good. When he finally came out, we watched this programme about black holes. I think the information in the programme was arcane. After I finally agreed him to stop watching the programme, we played Brawlhalla until I had to go home. When I finally got home, I was relieved and kind of glad even though it was a disaster, at least I got to do something.

Ako hiko ambassadors.

 29.6.21   Term 2 Week 9 

 Ako hiko ambassadors.  

Today I went to a meeting, where I learned what a ako hiko ambassador is. A ako hiko ambassador  is a person who is in a group,where people share similar goals. Ako hiko ambassadors leave positive comments on people's blogs. They are always aiming for three things, these three things are: achievement, equity and opportunity. A ako hiko ambassador is always supposed to model how to be cybersmart, we have to take things off teacher's plates which doesn't actually mean taking food of teacher's plates, it means taking work off teachers and doing them ourselves. After meetings we have to go to our head teachers and tell them what we did in the meetings, so in my case I have to go tell Miss Corbett or Miss Laxa. We also have to do tasks that are set for us, and this week we are focusing on getting ideas from different people in New Windsor school and doing podcasts with them. I like this role because I think teachers do a lot of work and I love to help. So that's all I know about ako hiko ambassadors but there still might be more things that a ako hiko ambassador has to do.

Chop Suey

 10.6.21   Term 2 Week 6

Chop Suey

On Thursday when Room 12 came back from their awesome lunch,there was a surprise waiting for us.Hania's dad, Mr T, was making chop suey for us.He was wearing a pink apron, he had lots of ingredients with him.The ingredients were chicken dipped in sesame oil, frozen vegetables, jasmine rice, vermicelli and lots of sauces etc. the sauces were soy sauce, ABC sauce and oyster sauce. It took a long time to make it and we helped too.When it was finally finished, it's strong aroma filled the air. I literally  floated towards it,the chop suey was delicious. It smelt a bit like baked fish and a bit like ramen. It tasted like chinese noodles and because I also got hot sauce it was spicy. The noodles looked like the golden noodles you would get in the ramen in Naruto and the rice was as fluffy as my mum's. The sea of noodles was really slippery and the field of rice was really soft.The sauces really made it delicious because even the vegetables tasted good and they usually don't. It was one of the most delicious foods I had ever had.   

The panikeke

 10.6.21      Term 2   Week  6         

The panikeke

On Friday, Room 12 and 13 ate some Samoan food, there were two foods to choose from. I chose the delicious Panikeke, also known as a round pancake. I had to wait a little because they served the koko alaisa first, which is basically cocoa rice first. When they started serving  the Panikeke, I couldn't resist it's delicious aroma. I literally drifted towards it, that's why I was fifth in line I think. The Panikeke was one of the most delicious things I have ever had. It looked like the moon but only a different colour. The outside was a goldish brown colour and the inside was as white as a cloud. When I bit into the scrumptious pancake it made a little crunching noise which I thought was amazing. It was sweet  but oily at the same time, which I don't think is easy to combine the two. When I finished I just wanted more and more because it was so delicious but sadly they only let us have one Panikeke.

My awesome blog introduction...

 9.6.21 - Term 2 Week 6 

My awesome blog introduction...

Talofa, Kia ora, Konichiwa and Salam.

Hi! My name is Raeed, and my favourite colour is metallic blue. My favourite subject is Maths. Ever since I was little, Maths has been kind of easy for me. Cricket is my favourite sport. I'm really good at batting, and i'm kind of good at bowling. I can do some tricks on my trampoline, but i'm not very good at backflipping or front flipping. I can still do side flips though. I can play the keyboard, although I must say, I am just a beginner. My mum is really good at Maths. She taught me everything I know about Maths. My dad is really good at English. He taught me everything I know about English too. One of the things I don't like is drawing.

Also, just saying - i'm a bit of a nerd!
