Most Proud Of Challenging And Favourite

Flax Rock Climbing


My favourite thing about rock climbing was the dark one because it was challenging and really fun, you did not know where to put your feet some of the time because it was dark. But overall it was the funnest I also got to the top.

The most challenging thing was Maia's dad’s one because it was very difficult to get over the ledge. But I made it to the top, It was very hard because my hands kept slipping of the rocks.

I am most proud of me because, I was determined to get to the top on every single one and I did. I am also very proud of me getting to the top  even when I felt tired and my whole body was aching.





Camp Moment In Time

Are the chips cooked? Is the spaghetti getting heated up? it was all a blind panic. It was almost time to plate up so soon. The spaghetti started popping in its pot. The shaped toast was starting to burn quick quick turn them over, some were burned what a disaster. Lets give the judges the non burned ones. Ouch! the chip burned me as I tried one. The chips started sizzling on the gas cooker.  I think they’re almost done.

The air tension was pretty high trying to get all the plates plated up and all pretty for presentation. Pass me the toast no that one is burned. One circle on the bottom and one heart for the top. The burning hot spaghetti got sprinkled around the edge. Chips at the top like little hairs on someones head. The delicious large breadcrumbs with yummy chicken flavoring. Done! Don’t touch the plate. Then we were taking it to the judges.

Internet Project

listen to ‘Internet project Interview rogan’ on Audioboo

In the late 1870s. The fastest way to get a message from New Zealand was by telegram. travelling along a cable. Some of the first telegrams cost 15 shilling per word that is over 100 dollar nowadays.Today we can send an email of a fraction of a sent. Nowadays Sending emails is much quicker than telegram.

When we search things or talk on social media you are normally connected to something called a wifi hotspot. These days we are making powerful computers called servers. Many businesses and universities have their own servers and networks.Big Internet companies have heaps of serves clustered together in one large building calls a data base.

168 million emails are sent every minute. 695000 updates on one social network are updated. 969 445 queries received by one major search engine. 600 plus videos one a sharing website. 11000000 conversations take place on instant messengers. Over 70 website created. 1500 Bogs posted. 370 000 Minutes on phone calls.

The Internet cost a lot of money and takes up lots of energy. The wireless technology also the millions of kilometres of wire and optic. Data centres use a lot of energy. A large number of data centres rely on energy generated by fossil fuels.  

Some internet companies are trying to find ways of reducing their environmental cost. One popular internet company has built a large data center in Sweden. The centre draws 120 megawatts of power, that's enough power for 16,000 houses. Even though the internet costs so much it changes our lives in many different ways. Technology is great,but we need to manage the environment cost so that we can continue to enjoy the internet.

Cyber bullying is very bad , it can really upset some people and it can cause death because they have been send threats and very mean messages on social websites. You know when you're doing cyberbullying and it is not nice. Think carefully before you send it will is hurt them or is it mean. Cyberbullying happens a lot way more than it should. People sometimes send threats through anonymous accounts. You know you're doing it and its a good idea not to press send.   

Fun Moment

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 you go into that team.” Team 1 go to that square team 2 go to that square my team was split into two groups”. The air smelt so fresh and so yummy. We were in the middle. Begin!  Whistle in my ear balls blew flew from every direction because we were in the middle and the other team were around us. We were pretty good at dodging, we were jumping around like crazy things dodging, ducking and speeding around the square. Grass tickled against the soles of my feet. I saw a ball whizzing at me at top speed, It flung into my arms I caught it WOOHOO. All I could hear was other people ,cheering and telling the other person to go in, another person came in from the line. It was harder, more than one person had gone and I was the one the were all aiming at ,one person was behind me, one in front and one on either side and at last, I was hit. The ball felt funny as it hit me. Sadly I went to the back of the line I was about to get back in again when the whistle blew and we had to change activity.
