Hi all.
Ever heard of Minecraft? Most people have. It's a cube world based adventure game where you mine blocks and place them in other spots in the world, usually to build houses or to gather resources to craft with. There are also evil mobs like zombies or creepers which blow up and destroy blocks. There are also friendly mobs like sheep or villagers to trade with. This is one of my favourite Minecraft animations from element animation. All for now!

Hi all.
'The block' was an activity we did ages ago but now is when I have to do a reflection. It probably won't be good. Anyway...
First we all did a trivia quiz in our groups. My group was the M and M's. We got a good score but I can't remember much about it except we came 1st. Then we chose our bundle of stuff to create our shelter. We were first so we chose our bundle first. we got the only tent. It had no poles but most of the others got some ropes and a tarpaulin. We also had another form of tent from one of our group members so we connected them together. In the end our tent was tied to a tree and the ground but the tent Itself wasn't touching either. It was just floating there. We lost the building competition because our tents sucked. Next was the physical challenge, tug of war. I won't bore you with the details but we lost. Then we did the mental challenge. Lie against the wall with your feet in front of you at something around 90 degrees. We also lost that. The rest of the day was boring for me so I didn't pay too much attention to it. The shared lunch was good though. I brought brownies!
All for now. Haven't posted in forever... sorry about that.

Hi all.
Not much happening lately. Most of the other class blogs have their (your gender here) of the future poem on there blog. This is mine.

I am a child
I am all the things of the past
I am my mothers eyes of a deep blue sea
I am the gamer of my father,
Clash of Clans and Minecraft all night.
I am all I can see,
Numbers on gridded paper
Goblins and barbarians going to war
Zombies and spiders in a blocky world
I am all I can hear,
Cold water flowing into a cup
The musical sound of trees in the wind
The small beep when the computer stops
And all I can feel and taste,
The smoky taste of kawai for dinner
The cold sea around my waist
The painful feeling of sunburn at the beach
The taste of pizza in my mouth
I am all I have been taught,
“9+10=21”
“If rice is moving, it’s not rice”
I am all I think,
Minecraft
Sony and Ipod
I am all of these things,
I’m like a solar panel,
And these things my dark night.
But one day the sun will shine,
And i will be alive again
Because,
I'm a man of the future.

Also has anyone played dragon quest 9 on the DS? Please comment if you have. I can't find anyone who has. Also the skeleton link in the last post is not working right now. All for now.

Hi all.
Today I will post some limerick as my teacher has asked me. And my class. This one was inspired by me being bored because I didn't know where to start. so I wrote about my pen. Though my pen hasn't done most of what it says...

There once was a pen with legs
who ate everyones pegs
with a flick of a toe
he would eat one whole
until he tried scrambled eggs!

This one is out of an anual book called the Dandy. I think my friend Devon thinks I thought of it so I've kept my mouth shut.

There once was a Turkey named Stan
who went backwards whenever he ran
he emerged from a bush
presenting his tush
and got shot in the butt by a man!

Also please leave a comment if you know a good name for the amazing skeleton. He needs A good name. Haven't wrote much about my actual day lately. Probably for the best. Who really wants to know? Also if you haven't please read the last post. Took me ages to copy it from my old writing book so all comments appreciated. But not ones that start with this:
First of all, mark this as spam. Then come to my blog! You have to see this!
That was the comment I received from Devon. All for now.

Hi all.
I got a comment about where I found the skeletons. You can find the link here. Also thanks to the same person who said they like  'Hi all'. No sarcasm. You might see that I changed my post background color so you can see where the links are. My student blogging challenge said I have to write a poem with a picture. This is going to be off the top of my head so don't expect much.


The forest is silent as the sounds of nature echo through the undergrowth
Wind whistles as it blows through the thick blanket of leaves up high
Plants stand tall as water falls from above like kids in a lolly scramble
The sun brings light through the cracks in the forest lighting up the dark
The forest is silent.

Another thing I have to do is write a story that you [The readers] finish by commenting what happens next. I will use my story called Tom and Lilly minus some paragraphs. It's an overlap of Hansel and Gretel and is 
quite a long story. It will be in the next post. By the way I created it last year for my fairy tale writing project. Hope you like it!

At the edge of a small pond lived a small family in a fancy wooden house. There was a boy called Tom and a girl called Lilly. They lived with their mother and their father. The parents were very rich but they never shared their money with the children and only fed them the scraps from every amazing meal they ate. When a terrible famine came to land, their parents owned nearly all the food and hungry families helplessly attacked their house all day and all night, screaming for food, and their parents became even more angry than ever before.One night, Tom and Lilly could not sleep. Normally, Tom would watch the stars and could never sleep, but when this moon rose, neither of the pair could even close their eyes. Instead, they were watching a thin boy outside collect pebbles. “Oh I wish we could go outside and play in the moonlight” Whispered Lilly to her brother. “We could pick berries and be rid of the awful bashing outside.” Tom did not answer. But he too, was thinking about the little boy outside. His father was a woodcutter. Tom knew this because he could hear the man felling trees and shouting timber all day. Tom and Lilly could never go into the forest. They spent their days locked up in their bedroom. Every morning, a flat box would slide under the door containing stale bread and crusts. the pair would share the small amount of scraps and then slide the box back through the door. If they didn’t, they would not get food the next day. The small amount of their parents scraps were never enough to fill the pairs tummy. But early next morning, the box came early. And it was not alone. For holding it was Tom and Lilly’s father. He was not in a good mood either. He opened the door with such force it nearly came off it’s hinges and made Lilly jump a foot in the air. “OUT.” He bellowed. Tom and Lilly walked into the hallway but the father wasn't satisfied yet. “THE HOUSE YOU FOOLS.” “Surely you are not kicking us out?” Questioned Lilly. The box that had survived for as long as they could remember suddenly crumpled inside the man’s giant fist. Taking the hint, the pair quickly found their way to the door.The crowd outside were all lying down on the ground. Probably asleep. But the next thing gave both of them a shock. The slam of the door behind them and the click of the lock that followed. Tom and Lilly started to scream and they helplessly attacked the door until sunrise came, where they spotted the boy from last night along with the rest of his family. They were all heading to the forest near their house. The forest was also fairly close to them as well. The pair decided to follow them in. “I’m sure that they would give us a bite to eat if we asked.” Said Lilly. ”Maybe even a place to sleep for the night.” Tom did not agree. He was stuck on the theory that they would also send them away. “We probably should follow from a safe distance.” He said.So the pair followed the family from a distance where the family could not see them. At one point, the family lit a fire. They said something to each other but Tom and Lilly could only hear murmurs. Then the adults went deeper into the forest, leaving their children alone. Soon Tom got bored and he left to find the parents. Lilly thought they should wait for the adults to come to her and ask them for a small bite and maybe a place to rest for the night. But she knew that Tom would never agree to that. But they never came back. Nor Tom. Before she knew it, the moon was up and her eyes were closed.Suddenly, Lilly was shaking violently and her eyes tore open. Tom was over her, shouting words in her face. She did her best to make words out of the sounds that were thrown in her face. “They’re gone! All gone! Were lost! No food! And TREES! TREES, TREES, TR-” “Calm down Tom! Trees won’t kill you!” Lilly interrupted, still half asleep and not taking in the situation properly. “Lilly! Were lost in a forest thicker than our fathers arm hair! The trees can and will kill us! We’ll STARVE!” Lilly said nothing. Their father did not have thick arm hair but she knew that the forest was still very thick. Tom finally stopped yelling when he heard voices. He leaped into a bush and then ran out saying a word that starts with “F”. Lilly stifled a laugh as a few bees emerged out of the bush and flew after him. The voices grew louder.“Do hurry up Hansel, you are slowing us all down!” Lilly hid behind a large oak tree and listened. “stay near the fire and we will come back soon.” Lilly followed the voices until she saw the group of four from yesterday reunited again. the two children were sharing a piece of bread between them. Not an awful lot either. Lilly began to reconsider the fact that the family would be able to help them. They must have more at there house. She thought. If they cannot help us, then we wouldn't be here. Suddenly, a noise came from behind Lilly. She swung around, ready to fight. A very wet Tom stood up with his arms up and rolled his eyes. “Sheesh, it’s just me.” He whispered. “No need to throw fists.” Lilly relaxed. Ashamed, she started to talk.”What happened?” “Bees can’t swim and the water is freezing. Who was talking before anyway?” Tom asked. “The family from yesterday. And the parents left again.” Lilly whispered. A heavy silence fell and then Lilly sat under the oak and covered her eyes.Tom started to attack the tree but he soon stopped. He sat down next to Lilly and whispered into her ear.”Trees can and will kill us, but that’s no reason to give up.” Lilly looked up and forced a smile but it didn't last. Through their misery, they heard voices. Gradually, they got quieter until it finally stopped. But the pair didn't care. They were lost, hungry, cold and alone. When the moon came up, Lilly managed to fall asleep but Tom couldn't even close his eyes.


So now this is where you comment with your answer to what happens next. Sorry but the paragraphs lagged the writing off the screen. Don't forget to add your own blog address when you comment for others to see your blog! Also I believe this is the biggest post in room 10 as to this date. All for now.

Hi all.
Trying to post when I can. Just finished a math pat on the computer. Think I could be the first. Our school has a mufti tomorrow and that means we don't wear our uniform. we also bring a gold coin donation. This time it's for the children of Haiti. It's called Purple cake day. That's got a link in it by the way. The website is a great place for cake recipes too. Also I have to give a review for a game so I chose tank trouble. It's a great PvP game where you zoom around in tanks collecting upgrades and blasting your opponent in multiple user made mazes. By the way that had a link too. There's also a single player mode against Laika, the robot dog tank. Got P.E next. Not looking forward to it. All for now.

Hi all.
Didn't post on friday. I was too exhausted by the focus. And my mother was on the computer most of the time we were at home in the weekends. You might have seen my new gadget at the bottom of the page. It is truly amazing and I can't stop playing with it. Mr Woof is getting a bit old but I will leave him there for now. I recently entered in the student blogging challenge. I put the link in the badge so you can sign up. Also it makes my blog sort of cooler. Also I can't upload pictures from my ipod so Rye is still picture less. Sorry. And today is monday here. Not sunday. All for now.

Hi all.
Focus prep today. It was boring but I survived. Last block was probably the most exiting as we made cupcakes in the food tech room. Usually my group's cupcakes look like purple radioactive muffins or mini crumble cakes. This time they looked like scones. The whole name of our cupcakes is 'Healthy' beetroot cupcakes with blueberry icing. We made some changes to the recipe though. Like we didn't use 4 cups of flour. After school me and my family went to my little sister, Sammie's Preschool with fish and chips for her picnic. After Alyssa gave away all our plastic cups to the other kids, we all sat down to eat our fish and chips and drink our lemonade with the last cup that remained. Sometimes Alyssa can be a bit of a pain. My mum wants to use the computer so I'll finish up. Not that there's much to say. I had way to many chips and now my tummy hurts. By the way I got mixed up with the chicken thing. It's on chanel 2 on sky, and it's on sunday. I'll find out what time tomorow. All for now.

Monday 2 March 2015

Hi all.
Well I was wrong about not posting for a while. I'm at school right now and I still have the bad laptop. My class should be doing math but half the class is blogging and the other half is reading. My friend Devon is sitting next to me. He is reading over my shoulder right now. Ok he stopped. Last year when we went to the library during school time the whole class would get a book and read. This year we learn about how to find a book in the library and that sort of stuff before we can read. Most people are ok with it but I get annoyed. We have a focus ( An assembly) coming up and Aranui, a group of four classrooms including mine are playing a part in it. All we have to do is do a small play in groups of 10. It should be fun but most of my group, including me, is always off task. As it might help, this is the link to my teacher's blog. Hope I helped. Also watch the news tonight. If you see a chicken in a jacket, blame the pigs. All for now.

Sunday 1 March 2015

Hi all.
Well by the emptiness of my blog you probably guessed this is my first post. I have my reasons...
My teacher is Mrs Hogg. And she says I should write about myself. Well I like Minecraft and Math. I don't like the laptop I am using because there is a very annoying fuzzy line on the right side. I go to Berkley Normal Middle School and learn there. I live in New Zealand, and I have a pet lizard called Rye. My favourite book is Atherton and in the weekends I go to a caravan at Papamoa beach. Personally, I hate the beach. And caravans with no wheels and a tent sticking out the side. I have 3 sisters who are all younger than me and are mostly annoying. I like writing about fantasy and not about memoirs. I like working behind the scenes. like the people who work in a box and keep the music and lights and whatnot working. I despite art and preforming. And I hate fruits and nuts. I like hotdogs and candy. (Most people like candy though.) I play clash of clans and as I mentioned before, I am a huge Minecraft fan. My dream job is a computer programer. You know, sitting in a room all day making computer games. Also when I can log in at home I will post a picture of Rye. The lunch bell just went. All for now. (Probably for a while.)
