How do you do a 3D printing?

3D printing: to do a 3D print you need a 3D printer and filament for said printer and software to make your model -- a good software is Tinkercad -- and another software that connects to your 3D printer -- a good software is Up Studio -- once you get these things you can start 3D printing. to do this you will need to open up Tinkercad and click create new design, you should now be looking at this:

on your right had side you have the shapes you can use to make your model. To do this you just drag and drop. If you click on the shape you should have some options come up like this:

using this you can change the colour of your shape and the width, length, height and radius or you can do this by clicking on the little squares and dragging. To make a hole on your shape you pick the shape you want to make your hole with and the click the hole option on your right side so it now looks like this: 

now drag the shape so it is in the place you want to to be for example: 

now you drag a box around your shapes by left clicking: 

so now you should have selected both of your shapes now you click the group button up the top (the second one) 

or you can use Ctrl G now your shape should look like this: 

well done now you have a hole play around a bit more and make the shape you want then you can export it to up studio then you can print it hope

Passion projects 2018

at the moment at school we are doing Passion projects were you get to do something for the rest of the year that you are passionate about. I am doing musical theatre and we are putting on the play Bugsy Malone. Which is set in the 1920s so I had to research a bit about the time and what it was like I made a poster to show what I found out.

makey makey game

Introduction: in DTE we had to make a game to be controlled by a makey makey by group desided to make our game on Gamefroot I was in charge of coding wile the others worked on the game board were we were going to put the controls.

DLO:

Reflection: I liked do this I got to work with my friends my only problem was I found it hard to make the game on Gamefroot but I got there in the end with a bit if help from Caleb I think I would do it again. 

sources:  Gamefroot (N.D) http://make.gamefroot.com/

Next question: do you know what makey makeys are?

persuasive writing

in English we are starting to do persuasive writing and we picked a statement and wrote about that here are the ones I did

History has no value in today's society:
I strongly disagree with this statement for a couple of reasons 1. Someone said “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it” so if you say that history has no value in today's society that means that the mistakes that people made in the past don’t matter so we are more than likely to repeat them. 2. People died and you are saying that that doesn’t matter, there were horrible wars eg WW1 and WW2 and you saying that that doesn't matter you might just as well spit on their graves and that is just horrible. 3. You learn so much from history you can learn about people like Julie d’Aubigny who had an amazing life there has been no one like her and if we don’t learn history or ignore that happened you miss out on the best stories ever. That is why I think the statement history has no value in today's society is completely and utterly wrong.

Old buildings should get knocked down to make room for new ones:
I strongly disagree with this statement old buildings are beautiful and should be protected. Most of these old buildings were hand made so a lot of time and effort went into them. If there's nothing wrong with them why get rid of them they have so many stories linked to them so why would you get rid of that bit of history. People worked their entire lives on these buildings so why should we get rid of them.

Swimming lessons should be compulsory for all students:
I agree with this statement to a degree I think it should be compulsory to all primary school students and then in high school it becomes optional the reason for this. Is in primary school you can teach them the basics so if they fell into a lake they can swim to safety and they are not afraid of the water and then if they want to continue then they can in high school. This we can decrease the number of kids that drown each year and that is why I think swimming lessons should be compulsory for all students up to high school.

To reduce congestion all private vehicles should be banned in busy cities:
I disagree with this statement for a couple of reasons 1. It just makes no sense hw is this going to fix the problem unless every starts to take busses that adds problems in itself. 2. What do they take instead if they have to take a bus then what if where they are going is not on the bus route? Then do they have to take a taxi if so those are very expensive and that don’t seem like a good idea to put this big expense on people if you don’t need to. 3. What do you class as a ‘busy city’ because you would have to have some way to measure that and I don’t know how you would do that. 4. How do you enforce it? Unless you have a police officer waiting on roads looking for private vehicles and what if they are just passing through do they still get the punishment because it is a private vehicle. And that is why I disagree with this statement.

People fleeing war in their home country should be allowed to go into any country and get given food and shelter:
I disagree with this statement because if they can go anywhere then the countries that are close or are ‘good’ will get lots of people and become overcrowded also were will we give them shelter and whose job will it be to make sure these people have shelter and food. I do think they should get taken care of but I don’t think they should be able to be able to go anywhere they want.

Old buildings should be preserved for future generations to enjoy:
I agree with this statement because old buildings are amazing pieces of art and should be looked after. With the artwork in these buildings along with the history who wouldn’t want to keep them and be able to enjoy them in the future.

sorry for lots of reading I hope you liked what I had to say. 

nets for shapes

Introduction: in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Create accurate nets for simple polyhedra and connect three-dimensional solids with different two-dimensional representations. to do this we make some nets and turned them into shapes

D.L.O:

Reflection: I liked doing this one until I had to make the cube because it was to small.

trigonometric ratios poster

Introduction: in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Apply trigonometric ratios and Pythagoras’ theorem in two dimensions. to do this we decided to work as a group and make a poster to help people learn SOH CAH TOA 

DLO: here is the poster we made 

Reflection: I didn't mind doing this one I think we could have done something a bit different but I like this kind of thing. 

SST

In social studys at the moment we are learning about the native Australians and how they were treated

Think about all the stories you have just heard and read, what are your thoughts about the impacts these events have had on their lives - Write 4-5 sentences on a blog post:

I think these stories are really sad and that the people get impacted for life. Because of these things and that it can ruin their lives. They lose who they are and their families. And forced into a place they didn’t belong I think that the whites could have handled the situation much better

sorry it's not very good 

word art

Introduction: in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Use the invariant properties of figures and objects under transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement). to do this we had to work by our self's and I made a world art thing on WordArt.com Word Cloud Art Creator

 

DLO: 

                                                               (the words inside it)

Reflection: I liked doing this it was nice working by myself and just plugging my headphones in and not talking to anyone ☺️I would do this again 

Tomorrow, when the war began 2

5/9/18

What is the Hermit’s mother in law’s attitude toward him as seen in her letter? She stands by his story fully and that she sees that his story is the only way they could have died.

What does this suggest about the way in which the Hermit’s family actually died? I still stand by that he is innocent and that he only shot them to put them out of misery

What makes Ellie change her mind about Lee on the way back from the Hermit’s hut? The coroner’s report and that it had no emotions in it and she doesn't want to end up like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6/9/19

Why does Ellie feel uncomfortable with Chris bringing cigarettes and alcohol into Hell? Because they are under aged to drink and she don’t see the point and she is scared that they will keep getting them

What is meant by a “clean war”? Why are the invaders so intent on having a ‘clean war’? A clean war means that they are being nice and not killing for killing sakes they are doing it so they don’t have blood on their hands and other people don’t get involved

What happened to the soldiers involved in the lawnmower incident, according to Robyn? How does this make Ellie feel? Two of them died and we don’t know about the third one Ellie feels bad about this and guilty.

Why do you think prisoners are sent to clean up the houses around town? So the invaders can send their own people in to live there and people will not complain

What does Kevin want to bring into Hell by way of livestock? Do you think his idea is a good one? Why/why not He wants to bring in ferrets I think it is a bad idea because they damage the wild by eating eggs and small birds and things like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7/9/19

What does Ellie find primarily attractive about Lee? His brains

Who is she attracted to physically? Homer and Lee a little

What are the group’s options according to Homer? 1. Do nothing and wait until it blows over 2. Go to the showground and get their family's back 3. Do something to help but don’t fight them selfs

What do they decide to do and why? They decide to do option three because they know that doing nothing will be torture and they can’t get their parents so that is they only thing they really can do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13/9/18

What makes Ellie think the soldiers walking past them are professionals? They are very well formed and they do things well and efectinet

What do the soldiers fire at in the bushes? A baby rabbit

What are some clues that the group is starting to think ‘more like soldiers’? They know were thy will be looking and how to kill them in the car

Do you think Homer’s plan will work? What problems do you think they might encounter? Getting the petrol to light and blow up the tanker

What does Homer suggest they do when the group goes up to the Heron? Blow up the bridge

What are his strategies to put his plan into action? Get the cattle to stamped and then get the tanker under the bridge and bow it up





Why is Ellie nervous about being paired with Fi? Because she doesn't have as much experience with doing physical things unlike Ellie

What is true courage according to Ellie? Doing something even though you are scared

Were her concerns about Fi realised? Explain. No because they never get mentioned again

What is a clue that Fi’s relationship with Homer is becoming serious? Homer told Fi that he loves her even with Lee and Ellie listening

What problems do Fi and Ellie encounter on their mission to bring the tanker to the appropriate place under the bridge? How do they deal with these problems they get caught up with a patrol and the tanker is nosey and they almost died because they didn’t have brakes.

how to read a map

Introduction: in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Use a coordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths.


DLO:

Reflection: during this time I have been working on the poster and Alicia did the drawing for it wile Djarn and Caleb has been working on the blog post

wind kart

in science we make wind karts to show forces and how they work on an object (or something like that) for example balanced and unbalanced forces I was with my friends I think our is good and it will work but I'm not sure our design was like an open book so it caches the wind and that is what moves it. it was kind of fun it was better than what we could have been doing. 😁 next time I think I would go with other friends or at least get more time to make it better.

Growing NZ innovation challenge

Introduction:
In DTE we had to take a problem and then fix it we didn't have to make it it could just be an idea which I liked. my groups problem was find a new way to sell the faba bean and we decided to cross a faba bean with a watermelon to make the broad melon.

D.L.O:
our slide show

Reflection:
I liked doing this but I think next time I would like a new group because two people in it did no work but I guess that is my own fault because I know they don't do work but I still let them in my group. I liked that you could just have an idea and that was fine I think if I was going to do this again I would change the people in my group and not be the leader.

sources:
google slides (N.D) https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/0/?tgif=d

Question:
would you buy our broad melon?

3d shapes

in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties. to do this we decided to play maths games relating to the topic I played Bloxorz. and now I know that 3D shapes have similar shapes to 2D shapes and you can make a 3D shape with 2d ones. here are some pictures of me playing the game

shapes

in maths we are working from a rubric were we pick a topic thingy and then do an activity on it my group decided to do this one: Represent objects with drawings and Models. my group decided to make shapes with our hands in doing this we learnt about shapes and how to make them here are pictures of the shapes we made

in social studys we are learning about migration and we had to make slide show on it I worked with my friend. we had to write the meaning of migration push and pull factors and give examples of push and pull factors
here is the link to it 

CARR licences for English

Tomorrow, when the war began

What are the advantages and disadvantages of first person narration?
advantages: you know what they are feeling and their thoughts. disadvantages: you don't know others feelings and you only get what is happening to the character.

Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order?
so it makes sense for the reader.

Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting.
Clodbuster: a type of monster truck I found it interesting because I did not know what it was and now I do


John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make three predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story.
the parents die, they get left all on there own, everything gets harder, I think this from the way Ellie talks and does thinks eg makes sure know will not be confused with knew

What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers.
the story of them and what they did because "we don't want to me another pile of white bones with no one knowing what we did what risks we took"

What set of skills do these characters have that convince their parents that they can ‘go bush’ independently. Find examples for three characters.
Ellie is responsible, one of them knew the land really well, and I don't know another one

16/8/18

Why does Homer insist on going on with the plan after Corrie’s house blows up? How does he convince Corrie that this is a good idea? because they now know that they are there and there is nothing left so there is no point to staying he convinces Corrie by explaining the situation to her.

Describe the strategy Home and Ellie use to ensure their safety when riding their bikes into town. What does this show about how they are starting to think? Ellie goes ahead and when they come to a corner she hops off her bike and walks to the corner to see if it is safe then waves Homer to tell him that it is safe then continues. this shows that they are starting to think like solders and preparing them self for the worst possible scenario.

Why do you think Mr Clement is reluctant to help Lee and Robyn? How would you react in his position. because in cases like these if you help someone they are likely to betray you in the future and he had his own safety to think of it is survival of the fittest in these cases I don't really know how I would react I would probably been torn between wanting to help and worrying about my own safety and I hope I never find out how I would react

How has Homer changed in Ellie’s eyes since the invasion? he has gone from a silly class clown who probably does not poses a once of seriousness in his body to someone who can take the lead and keep everyone safe

What are the 2 different types of soldiers and how do they each treat the inhabitants of Wirrawee? there are the professionals who take things properly and the general riff raff who are really mean to the public the professionals are nicer

Why do you think Robyn had the strength to carry Lee? I think it was because she had a lot of adrenaline because of the situation.

How have the group decided to rescue Lee, whose idea was this and why do they think it will work. they are going to get a bulldozer and carry him in that I think it was Ellie's idea and then the other two help iron out the wrinkles they think it will work because bulldozers are pretty bullet prof

What do you think happened to people who ‘tried to be heroes?’ I think that they got capered, shot or killed (something not good).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

abreast: side by side when you are facing the same way
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21/8/18

How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from? She felt Cold, fear, excitement and they came from the fact that she couldn’t let her friends down otherwise they would die

Why are the girls smiling when in danger? Is this a logical response? Because it is exciting I guess it is a bit logical because they have never done this before and just emotions can get confused

What does wearing a helmet and buckling up mean to the girls? Safety that even if they get shot it won't be as bad as if they didn’t have them also bad habits

What does Chris’s story say about the town? That it is a bit strange and that you can’t always tell if something is wrong

What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer? The BMW shows that they are making hard choices now yes I think that chris does seem lonely because he has not seen any one for days and he has seen things that are bad

What is Homer’s explanation for the need to swap cars at Chris Lang’s place? What does this show about the way he is thinking? His explanation was if they see the BMW that they are looking for then they might be mean to Ellie's parents so they need to swap them this shows that he is now thinking like a soldier

What are your thoughts on the story so far… I don’t know if I like it for me it is a book that you read to read a book I feel that nothing exciting is really happening either that or it is just to easy of a read for me
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22/8/18

They say teenagers can sleep all day”. Is this true? Do you agree? Does Ellie still see herself as a typical teenagers? I don’t know if it is true I can’t do it so no? Not all teenagers can do it but maybe most of them. No I don’t think that Ellie think of herself as a typical teenager

Ellie’s dream at the beginning of the chapter is rather nonsensical, as dreams are wont to be. Is there any meaning to it? Try and explain what Ellie’s subconscious could be thinking about: why is her dad cooking for the whole town? Why did Father Cronin ignore Ellie’s greeting? Why was Corrie 8 years old again? Why were they sailing off on a boat? Why was Lee undressing? I don’t know if it has a meaning but I think her Dad is cooking for the whole town because the town is gone and I think that father Cronin ignored Ellie because she knows that he would disapprove of what is going on in her head? I think Corrie was 8 years old because they missed being kids. I think they were sailing off in a boat because they are starting a new life and I think Lee was undressing because Ellie has feelings for him.

Why is it so terrible that Chris falls asleep while on sentry duty? How does Ellie react? Why do you think she reacts this way? How does she feel about her reaction later? Because he is not paying attention so they could die. Ellie reacts by yelling at him I think she reacts this way because she is tired and she understands the weight of the situation but Chris doesn’t she felt really bad about her outburst afterwards

Back in Hell, Ellie’s dreams are far more ominous. Explain why Ellie is dreaming of her fears. Because they are safe there so her fears can catch up to her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23/8/18

Manoeuvre: one move of a series of moves that need skill or care

Inconspicuous: does not attract attention

Surreptitious: keep secret because people would not approve

Evasion: evading something

Impenetrable: you can’t go through or enter

Patriotic: devotion to one's country

Reconnaissance: locate an enemy through strategy

Inaccessible: you can’t reach it

Gaunt: skinny because because of age, suffering, or hunger

Conscript: to enlist someone in the armed forces

Chris fell asleep on sentry duty. Rewrite an ending to this event where the teenagers are found by the invaders. Whose point of view are you writing from? What happens? How do they react/feel?

“ON YOUR FEET!” we all wake up with a start to see guns pointing at us it took awhile but I realised what happened Chris had fallen asleep on duty and we had been caught anger filled me before I realised that it was useless we were caught and it was over we slowly raised our hands Robin looked worried I think it was because of Lee I saw Chris behind the soldiers with a gun to his head we slowly start to stand with Robin helping Lee then we slowly followed the soldiers to the showground.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24/8/18

All the teenagers have a specific role to play in their group. Describe the roles each teenager plays? Homer: leader Robyn: voice of reasoning/nurse Corrie: mother Ellie: second leader Kevin: emotional Lee: dead weight Chris: genies and I don’t Fi

According to what the teenagers hear on Corries radio, why would America be best not to get involved in Australia’s struggle? Because it would be to bloody and costly for them.

Why is Australia being invaded? To workout the imbalance of the land

A reader can infer many things from the snippet of news heard over Corrie’s radio. Which country or countries are likely to have invaded Australia? Indonesia poorer countries

How are the prisoners being treated? They are getting treated humanely

What do Kevin and Robyn argue about? Do you think Robyn’s points are fair? Whether or not Robyn is siding with the soldiers I think her points are fair
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28/8/18

“Paradise of Hell” is an oxymoron. What does it mean. It means that the place is a paradise but when you think of hell you don’t think of a paradise.

Kevin’s hatred of the invaders is quite extreme. Why do you think he is so angry? Because this is his home and they are destroying it and they don’t belong here

The group take turns discussing the extent to which they’d go to make a difference. Order the characters by their commitment to overthrowing the enemy?: I don’t know I couldn't find it but I think Fi is wants to be peaceful

The group is starting to think about long term survival in Hell. What are some clues to this? The fact that they are going to get animals in so they get meat and they are planning for everything and they are going to turn hell into a real camp.

What does the group decide they must do at this point? They need to go back to the showground to get more info and they also need to get supplies for the long run

Despite the fact that the teenagers are in the midst of a war zone, evading enemy soldiers and planning guerrilla operations, they still find time to harbour romances. Do you think this is realistic? Sort of I think when you are a teenager you don’t really have control over your emotions so yes you could get a crush on someone and I also think that if you have these near death experiences with the same people you get closer so you could get a crush but you could also not want to think about love and things like that because everything is high risk and you are almost dying so I’m not sure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30/8/18

What reasons does Ellie give Lee for not wanting a relationship with him? Because she is confused and doesn't know anything.

What do you think are the real reasons? Because she has a crush on Homer as well as Lee and doesn’t want to admit it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/9/18

What do Ellie and Lee find in the Hermit’s hut that the others don’t know about? A metal box with paper and photos in it

According to the coroner’s report what are the two possible ways the Hermit’s family died… that they were badly burned so to put them out of their misery he shot them in the head for a fast death or that he shot them in the head and then burnt them to cover it up

Which do you believe? Why? I am more inclined to believe the first one were he shot them to put them out of their misery because they seemed to be happy and all that and I prefer to think the best in people.

End of term poster

In English we had to make a poster summing up our term only we couldn't use words we had to include our high light our low light what we learnt and who helped us.

The cap, panda and sleeping dog are my friends the movie thing is my high light the pen is my low light and the octopus is what I learnt.

My essay for English

In English we have been watching the Power of One and then we had to write an essay on it here is mine:

In the movie Power Of One directed by John Avildsen, about the apartheid in South Africa we see the
techniques of close-ups; low key lighting; and diegetic sound creating impact by making the audience worry
for P.K

In Power Of One, close up shots of P.K are used effectively during the movie. For example, the director John
Avildsen uses close up shot after P.K pushes Jaapie Botha into the table. The director did this to show that
even though Botha is really mad ,P.K is not afraid. This technique created impact by showing us that P.K is
no longer afraid of Botha. This is shown again when P.K is fighting Botha at the end of the movie this shows
us that P.K has grown up alot.

Throughout the scene that P.K is getting bullied the use of low key lighting is used powerfully. For example,
the director uses low key lighting to show that this is a dangerous place for P.K to be. The director did this to
give the audience a sense of danger and uncertainty. This technique created impact by making us question
whether  P.K be okay. Another time we have low key lighting creating impact is when P.K is in the church
and are getting arrested this shows us that P.K is in trouble.

In the scene were Jaapie sentences P.Ks chicken to die, diegetic sound is used effectively. For example, you
can hear German music play in the background showing that these people support Germany. The director
uses this to show that P.K does not belong here and that the people in the room support Nazis. This technique
helped us to realize that P.K does not fit in at school and that he is alone. This happens again earlier on in the
movie when the headmaster is preaching on how the English drove the Afrikaans out of the fatherland.

In conclusion, the film Power of One by John Avildsen is a film with deep powerful messages and it is
enhanced by the film techniques of close-ups; low key lighting; and diegetic sound, these techniques give
impact by causing the audience to worry for P.K.

Egyptian medicine

Egyptian medicine and it's ideas is not to different to medicine we have today. for example they valued cleanliness and they had some good remedies for things only the problem was that they did not know what make you sink with things that you could not see i.e diseases they thought it was angry gods that made you sick so they would give offerings to the gods that you may have angered and they also used magic which we know now does not help. There were also female doctors which I found amazing as we have seemed to go backwards if that is the case. I also found that Egyptian medicine was very good for its time. 

this is a quote from the website I read on Egyptian medicine if you want to read it go here

(it is because they were clean)

Maths A.P.V

Introduction: In maths we have been learning about Area, Perimeter and Volume (A.P.V for short) we had to make a poster on it witch I found fun. I learnt what area is and how to work it out I don't really know if I found anything interesting but I did like making the poster.
D.L.O:

Reflection: I don't really know what  to say I found the topic fun when we did things like the poster and not so fun when we did book work.

Question: was my poster helpful? 

DTE app

Introduction: 

In DTE at the moment my friends and I  are developing an app for people getting into gaming which was Casey's idea which Caleb and I took and made the app 

we chose what our app was going to be by going on Padlet and brainstorming all our ideas then voted on the ones we liked the most we decided to make an app to help people get into gaming. 

Still using Padlet we put up ideas of what we should add to the app like terminology, platforms, helpful tips e,t,c.Once that was done we got to work on actually developing the app which was easy thanks to the program known as code.org app lab.

D.L.O:

Reflection: 

I learnt how to work Code.org because I went through the tutorial on there and that if you tell Nivvy that he is distraction he will take it very seriously by showing you lots of things and not leaving you alone but I don't know how our work showed that maybe just the fact that we made an app on Code shows that we learnt how to code on it.

For what people did, Caleb and I did most of the work with coding and coming up with ideas but Casey helped near the end (still not much) and Nivvy was just a distraction (but that was his job). We managed changes and disagreements by explaining why we did it and just getting on with life but I wouldn't have said we had many disagreements, all in all I liked working with my group but I am sure it helps that we are friends anyway and I would work with these people again.  

We did get our app completed witch was good. We did change some things (but that is expected) e.g adding more pages and cutting down the number of tips we have. What have I gotten from this? I don't know if I really got anything out of this expect that my group will work really fast if the work is fun (i.e our app) I like our app though I think it looks really good and has some good bits mixed with some fun nonsense (e.g types of Gamers that was fun to do) also Caleb did a really good job on making the app look good (even with the problems of the pictures not working)

Next Question

Also I have a question for all of you reading this and that is if you had an app idea would you actually create it? also who would you do it with?
