GEGNZ (Google For Education New Zealand)

On Wednesday the 12th of August 2015 the year 7 & 8 extension students had the opportunity to present at the GEGNZ Summit Group 2015. GEGNZ stands for Google for Education groups New Zealand. Just so you know that this year is the first year that it has been held and Pt England School was luckily enough to be apart of it.

Once it was time to start we made our way into the school gym. This was located in the entry doorway. As soon as everybody was seated they began with a mihi then a Waiata himene, He Honore. After they sang they talked us through some school rules and emergency exits. Once they finished speaking, Hobsonville Point Primary school introduced a boy named Toby Carr. He is a successful CEO at only 16 years of age. (That’s incredible.) Anyway he talked about having a education finishing school and following our dreams. It was a bit like a future aspiration talk we have here at P.E.S. (Pt England School.) One of the sayings I remember he said was, “Follow your heart.”

As soon as Toby Carr finished his speech we went to our first session. This session would have to be my highlight and that is what I am going to be talking about today.

Firstly the boys introduced themselves secondly we were provided an Apple Macbook Pro, and a bag that was filled with 2 cups of playdough electronic wires and a little device that is called a Makey Makey. Our task was to go on scratchy and create sounds. Then pulled out the playdough, wires and the makey makey.

We had to create anything out of the playdough then connect one of the wires to the macbook finally connect other wires to the makey makey and wires to the playdough. Once you have connected all the wires you get to tap the play dough because one of the wires are connected to the playdough. Then when your sounds are ready on scratchy tap the playdough and it will play off the computer.

This would have to be my highlight of the day because we had fun and we learnt something. It was very creative in many ways and also difficult in some ways. That day was fun and it was fun when we presented as well.

WW1 Equipment

For this Week's Zeal Zone we have been learning about the different equipment that the Soldiers in World War 1 and 2 used to protect and keep themselves warm and clean. I learnt a lot and we still have many more things to learn.

3D Perspective Building

In Class for our animation task we had to draw from a perspective point. It was kind of hard but I ended up getting it done. I hope you like it.

2nd & 3rd Day Countdown to Impact

Yesterday I had my second day on the game Astria Countdown to Impact. It was an outstanding time. Me and my partner finally unlocked the code. It was 8 - * and .. - >>. It took us a while to figure it out and a very long time to in that 20 minutes. Me and my partner were relived to Have figured the code out. Now we are kind of on the other level. We are almost finished. All we have to do is get into the other room to but supplies for our spaceship.

Me and my partner tried again today. We only used 20 minutes of our time. We are so getting into it and it is really fun. It also helps us learn about space I guess.We had a lot of fun and we finally knew that it was fireball. We were always clicking falling rock. And it was the wrong one for the code. We were both trying our best today to try and getting into the door to our spaceship. We might have to try again tomorrow. I hope we do better.

This game is really fun and cool to play. It isn't just a game it is also teaching us something. I hope they make a second one if they can because this is such a great game!!!!

Sound Explantion

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without sound? Well it would be very silent. And nobody would be able to listen to the awesome music that singers create. It would be BORING!! If we didn't have sound how could we communicate? Or do our work? We have sound so we can make our own instruments, songs, or even talk to each other. It would be very difficult.

How does sound be recognised? 

Well when you make sound it vibrates and the air molecule ricochet's off, then makes it way into your ear drum. It goes into your ear towards you ear drum and into your brain. Finally your brain notices that it's sound. 

How is sound different?

Well if the pitch is high, sound waves vibrates really fast. But if the pitch if low, the sound waves vibrates slowly. It also depends on the amplitude. How high loud sound is. By Dad can't hear sound, but he can feel it. He knows what the world would be without sound. But he doesn't know what it would be like with sound. But he finds it okay.
