Sewell Peak was a metaphoric introduction for all the year 10’s into NCEA for next year. It is saying that going through level 1,2,3 will be challenging but once you make it to the end it will all be worth it, all the pain, sweat and tears that were shed were all for a good reason. Once we started the walk we all knew what we were heading into, a steep hill with a good view at the top and we all knew that we were going to struggle going up. But I found that if you don’t focus on the pain and just look at the nature around you, you will enjoy the walk and find it more of a brisk walk than a challenging hike. At the bottom of the walk we found that the trees were really diverse and were going to different heights but as we got higher the trees started to deplete and become more shorter and than becoming shrubs and bushes. The walk up to the top took around 3 hours and when we got to the top we knew that we had done well. We got a meal from the Mayor and got photos from the top, we co...

In English we had to find a research topic, the category that we had was First In The World. We went from there and started thinking. At the start we got into groups and wrought down some things that we wanted to find out. Then from there we took one and started researching and my topic was "What was the first movie director and actor?" And this is the reason why I chose it. Who was the first movie star and the first movie director? I chose this topic because I've always been interested in movies and how they started.  I’ve always found it interesting by how it has evolved over a small amount of time, how they have gone from black and white and with no sound to colour, sound and special effects that you swear looks real and not fake. So I am going to research who had the honour to be the first movie star and the first person to direct a movie. After that we had to find the difference between a good and trustworthy website to a website that will give you false in...

In here we found connections between The book "The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian" and the movie "The freedom writers".

Rowdy and Junior are really good friends and nothing could break them up at the time. Rowdy would protect Junior through anything and everything and wouldn’t allow anyone to touch him and if someone touched him, they would feel pain emotionally, spiritually or physically. When people picked on Junior, Rowdy would stand up for him and he cut their hair off. And when an Indian got their haircut it is a sign of disrespect, so that meant that they don’t care about their heritage. Then he showed Junior what he had done to keep his friend safe and they both laughed. Their relationship changed when Junior said he was going to Rearden and then Rowdy punched him in the head and he got a really bad black eye. After that they dropped from BFF’s to acquaintances in a matter of seconds. Junior wanted to fix their friendship by drawing and sending him emails but Rowdy didn’t act nice and sent him a picture of his anus after a lot of the emails. Junior thought that it was just friendl...

I think learning with cognitive games is fun because it challenges your mind in a different way to how other games challenge your mind. It makes you mind think differently and act differently when it learns when you play the game. Go-Space: My first exposure to creating a VR product was different because everything in here was different to other apps. In here can make yourself move around differently to other games and it is fun. The way to make it is different  because it looks different in the way it moves and acts. I built an outside school where you can go anywhere and you will see someone doing something. Gamestar Mechanics: Gamestar Mechanics is an interactive and fun way to learn about making games. It has different ways to learn how to make a game and it is also fun to play it because you make your way through the game learning how to edit a world and how to beat the world. You have an option on going on a quest and also make your own quest. The game give...
