TGC orientation day.

Today we went to Tauranga Girls College (TGC) and had our orientation day for next year. At first all of the coming yr9 girls were in the hall and we had to listen to Ms Bird who is the deputy principal tell us a bit about the school and then we had to listen to our head girl who give us a speech, that was really cool. Then all the girls got put into little groups and went for a tour around the school. During the tour we had to look for little things around the school and we had to tick them off on the little sheet they gave us at the start of the tour. After that we came back to the hall and got dismissed from the hall. I thought that the tour was really good and I found out that I don't have to worry about getting lost because we can ask anyone about anything and most of them should help me.      

Lorde dance moves.

Link to article

My opinion is. I do not think that Tau Henare has the right to say to Lorde that her dance moves looked like she had epilepsy. It is an insult to Lorde and the people who actually have epilepsy.

I have never just unintentionally offended someone that I know of, but I have offended someone protecting somebody eles.

48 hour movie challenge reflecton

Sound Quality: The voice volumes where good but the little bit background noise was a bit distracting for the viewers.

Camera Skill: The camera was steady and the angles were good but or effects we could of worked on.

Acting: Our voices were very clear most of the time and our situations and settings where good. We could have used facial expressions.

Editing: Our cut scenes were dove very well to my expectations but we could have made or poem a longer time.

Quality of the life education message in your movie (the Script): I think that our script/message was done and said very well because drugs and alcohol are becoming very common and people need to know what the consequences are of taking them.

Teamwork: Our team worked very well I thought because everybody had there say and everybody was positive and had a part each. Know one was excluded. I think our group worked very well and I was very happy with our movie to.

Enlargment

When using translation you always need to say:

How many times bigger you have made the shape (scale factor)
What the centre of enlargement is

The centre of enlargement is the point of which the shape started to enlarge (form)

The scale factor is how many times the shape is being enlarged.

The easy way to work out the scale factor of a shape on a grid is to first count how many squares are on one side of the smaller shape (preferably the bottom) you then count how many squares there are ON THE SAME SIDE on the enlarged shape. You then compare the two numbers and work out how many times the shape has been enlarged. (I like to use division)

Here, the first shape (pink) has 4 squares along the bottom side. In the enlarged shape the bottom side has 8 squares. I then use division to work out the scale factor.
8 divided by 4 gives 2. So 2 = the scale factor.








When working out the scale factor of a shape with no grid you use projection lines. Here is an example of what projection lines look like:

First you draw a projection line, starting from the middle of the X to one of the corners of the shape and beyond. You then measure that distance and double it. Then, starting from the X along the projection line you apply that doubled distance and then place a small mark at the end of the doubled distance. Repeat this for all of the corners. Your shape should now look like this:

Once you've done that you join up all of your new doubled distances to create a new and enlarged shape like so,

That is how you enlarge a shape without a grid. The tricky thing is though, even though you've enlarged the shapes all the angles are actually still the same!

Life Ed Summery.

The main message of Life Ed was to "Delay the Decision" We applied this to drugs and alcohol. These are a few things we learnt.

How drugs affect the brain
MEMORY
REASONING
JUDGEMENT
MECHANICAL SKILLS
INTELLECT
CONCENTRATION
EMOTIONS

These are all jobs of the brain that get affected when drugs are used. We learnt that drugs can make a persons emotions can take over people intellect.

4 parts of the brain (the highlighted parts are the parts of the brain that get affected by drugs)
- Long term memory
- Short term memory
- Today's thinking
- Future thinking

Michael once told us that there was a man that was taking drugs who walked his daughter to school and when they got there she realised she had forgotten something. The father got very mad, shot her and buried her. He also tried to help the police find her, even though he already knew where she was buried.

Puberty
Michael taught us that puberty takes 7 years and can be described as 7 rungs of a ladder. He also said that puberty can start as early as 9 or as late as 16. This is simply because, everyone is different. The sad thing is though it is very common for people to take drugs while going through puberty. This is very concerning as puberty is the worst time to take drugs. In the majority of personal stories Michael told us the people started drugs at the age 13 which is quite scary because that is the age of people at my school! Most people start drugs because of parties which has taught me to be aware of situations where I may be offered drugs.

Ways to say no to drugs
During Life Ed we learnt an acronyms that can help us to say no to drugs,

R Give a reason
E Give an excuse
A ssertive
C hange the subject
H umour

W alk away
I gnore
T ell someone or toughen up
S ay no

Why teenagers are more affected by drugs
In Life Ed we learnt a few acronyms that explain why teenagers are more affected by drugs than adults.

F aster
A bsorption
R ate

L ess
E ffective
M etabolic
S ystem

G reater
I mpact on
B rain

G reater
A ddiction
P otential

Alcohol 
We learnt that alcohol is the drug that is most likely to be offered to us in our lifetime. Michael said that out of a large group only a small amount will get involved with illegal drugs but a larger amount will get involved with alcohol. We can apply REACH WITS to an alcohol situation as well which I've think will be really handy. Alcohol can also be used sensibly which I intend to do. I will remember not to over dose as that's when problems happen. When used incorrectly alcohol can be very dangerous and I hope not to use it in that way.

Overall I learnt many things that can help me to "Delay the Decision" I sincerely hope that I can use my new knowledge from Life Ed to help me if I ever find myself in a sticky situation including drugs or alcohol.

addiction poem

Walking up the ladder, year after year, waiting to make the big decision coming up somewhere.

watching others take the drug choose you decisions wisely and don't become an addic thug.

But one night at a party you take the pill that makes you ill and raises your bill, you look at your reflection in the mirror and think to your self I have to be a quitter.

Day by day, night by night things are though but get better in site.

math trick

Transformations: Translation

Translation is one of the 4 ways that a shape can be moved. (Translation, Rotation, Shrink and enlarge and reflect) If you have a shape on a grid and you then move the shape, you have translated it.

A vector is the coordinates of where the shape has been moved. A vector looks like the picture below.
The top number indicates how far left or right the shape has moved. If the number is negative the shape moves left, if the number is positive, the shape moves right. The bottom number indicates how far up or down the shape will move. If the number is negative the shape goes down and if the number is positive the shape goes up.









When moving house you are translating objects to the new house. This is a real life example of translation.

"MUM, where are my favourite socks" I asked yelling for help. 

"And where are my tuesday undies" asked dad searching through his draws "you know I have to wear them today." 

"Just wear mondays undies, no one is going to know" replied Mum "no ones going to know you say, i'm going to know, and to wear Mondays undies pfft, that would be idiotic," Dad answered back with a streak in his voice. 

This was only the beginning of our family disaster, for the next few weeks. Things were starting to disappear and fast, with dad losing his tuesday undies, and me losing my favourite socks. Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while mum then lost her favorite dress. We thought we were going mental. 

"Its not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac. Mum suggested, that we recap our steps "When was the last time you had you items?" she said. 

we all replied, before washing day was the last time we had them. 

"So maybe its the washing machine thats caused all this drama," Mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eyes. We checked the washing machine there was… nothing with nothing to prove, I decided to put a GoPro in the machine, to watch it in action, to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realize was that the washing machine would take my GoPro too. "AHHH ITS GONE," I yelled at the top of my voice, what are we going to do. 

"Lets just give up," mum said to me. 

"Fine if that’s the best idea" I moaned.

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. It was an ordinary day and everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils. By their side the sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears, I decide to listen in on Brittney's conversation with Ella OMG. 

"Last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there," explained Brittney. 

"No way," replied Ella. 

That exact thing happened to me, I was sure I put it into my bag, this is a little strange, I thought to myself why where things disappearing?

Eventually the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head, I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery, as I unzipped the case I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag, this is insane I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds singing, it seemed like an ordinary day, I walked into my class that is usually full of colour but not today, my class looked like a prison cell, 

"What happened" I gasped. 

"Don't worry kids" assured miss green. "We have a thief in our class and I am going to get to the bottom of this." 

One by one miss green started checking our bags, everyone seemed relaxed, exept for James. Miss Green made her way down the line and ames was last to be checked 

"Oh," said Miss Green looking rather lost "what is this," she asked James as she pulled out two books, a pencil case, my laptop and two class posters from James's bag.

"I was utterly shocked to say the least I am so sorry," cried James "its just that everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better, the truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not want stuff from other people."

It was a monday morning. I just got woken up by my mum to get ready for school. I got out of bed and reached down for my uniform, but it wasn't there. I looked under my bed under my pillows but I couldn't find my uniform anywhere. 
"Kaidin, have you gotten in the shower yet." 
"No Mum, I cant find my uniform." 
"Well you better find it quick, or you will be going to school in your onesie."
"But Mum, I cant find it anywhere, it’s like its just disappeared."
"Oh sure, just like all your other stuff, huh Kaidin." 
I got a note to go to school with, to say that my uniform is lost and that I have to wear mufti just for today, which was a pain because every teacher I walked past asked why i'm in mufti and where my uniform is, so I just showed them the note and moved on. When I got home, I went to go grab my iPod from where I always put it, but I looked and that wasn't there either, I yelled out to my mum "Mum have you seen my iPod." 
"No but do you know where did you last put it." 
"Mum if I knew where I last put it do you think id be asking you where it is."
"Sorry just trying to help."
I thought to myself that ill try to find it later, so I run into my room to go on my PS3 but surprise surprise it’s not there 
"Mum" 
"Oh what now kaidin"
"I know you're up to mischief tell me where all my stuff is"
"kaidin do you really think I would hide your uniform away from you so you would go to school in your onesise" "Now what’s gone missing now"
"My PS3 the whole thing, the controller is here but not my HDMI cable, power cord or my Elgato" 
I really couldn't be bothered looking for all my stuff because it will take me hours so I just thought of going for a bike ride. I walk outside to get my bike and I couldnt believe it my bike had no tyres. By this time i've had enough I went up to my mum and said 
"Mum I know you’ve put all my stuff somewhere please can I have it back" 
"kaidin I have hidden your stuff away would you like to get it back"
"Yes where is it where is it where is it" 
"Right here"
My mum led me to her bedroom where my stuff was all scatterd around the room My PS3 the power cord, the HDMI and my Elgato my iPod was under her drawers and my bike tyres were under Liams bed. My uniform was in my Mums drawers 
"Okay thanks mum for hiding my stuff." 
"Thats okay ill do it again sometime hahaha yeah right"

My Children's picture book ( It's the day it's the big day!)

Read this free book made on StoryJumper

Being a mum is easy.

I don't believe being a mum is easy for many reasons. Firstly, if you're a mum and you have little kids they will hassle you to get what ever they want. If the new play station or barbie comes out any kid would go crazy for that. Secondly, when children get older they are not going to want to do jobs for you. If you ask them to wash the car or do the dishes they will make a lie up to get out of it. Thirdly, kids will cry and wine and the parents have to deal with it. The kids will cry and wine if they don't get what they want like food or a toy things like that. That concludes my point on how being a mum is not easy.

Mr Brain Diver.

Mr Brian Diver is a successful principal for a variety of reasons. Firstly he wants the best for his students. If you have a problem, he will see you at any time, any day for as long as you need. Secondly he has a great reputation with his students for he gives them amazing facilities and equipment like rock climbing walls and sports gear. Thirdly Mr Brian Diver also has a great sense of humour as he visits the students classes and tells them funny stories to make us laugh. And that is why Mr Brian Diver is a successful principal.
