Jai's T3 W3 Reading Slides

 

Why sports is better than music

 Some people may think that music is better than sports, and although that is their opinion, sports has so much more benefits.

Firstly, sports makes you run around and actually socialize, and while that's happening you'll probably lose a bunch of weight!

Secondly, there are many varieties of sports such as rugby, touch, tennis, soccer, squash, and so much more.

Thirdly sports relieves so much stress. When you get involved in sports, you take your mind away from school homework and all that work.

Conclusion: Some people may think that music relieves stress, but unlike sports you could get so many cuts and blisters. If schools were to stop sports events, there would be a lack of muscle development in students. Sports is also great practise for strength, speed, and agility. Schools need more sporting events for the physical and mental wellbeing for students

Hello! These are a set of challenges set to me by my teacher, this sheet contains a lot of fractions, in fact its even stage 7! 

If you need help for kumon maybe you could take some notes. (all of them aren't exact so feel free to correct me)

Why we need a new senior playground

 Dear: Mr. Tetzlaff, the current state of the playground is really dangerous.

First of all, the poor choice of color and material is really poor and risky. if someone were to trip and fall, they'd go straight to the Sick Bay. Maybe you could've gone with something softer than steel?

Secondly, there's absolutely no fairness. The junior playground is massive, its even decked with a rock climbing wall, a few small square huts, and most importantly a massive circular tube!

Don't even get me started on the middle school playground.

They have so much stuff that I can't even list them all off! They have a swing, an obstacle course, a slide, and a spider web!

Thirdly, its very boring. Not only the color scheme, but the actual contents are boring! All there are is 2 risky heights which keep in mind, are restricted. and some monkey bars...

Lastly the heights are unrestricted, in the playground you could be pushed by a kid at any moment. By the way, if you're on duty look under the rock climbing wall in the senior playground.

Jai's T3 W2 Reading Tasks: I have something to say!

 

These are some reading tasks set to me by my teacher. This contains a lot of content about different views and arguments in writing and reading!

If you're struggling with these things feel free to study my answers and maybe, just maybe you'll be a little prepared.

Jai, Liam and James' LCS Catapult

 

Hello everybody! This is an LCS about our activity about building a freakin' catapult!

This was really fun and I had a blast making it too!

Why we should have zoos

 Zoos, short for Zoological Parks have existed since 1500 B.C. The first ever zoo was made by Queen Hatshepsut. In egypt by collecting animals all over africa, Emperor Wen wang went out of his way to build a zoo to display power and wealth.

Now with the history out the way let me tell you why zoos are good.

I believe zoos are good because they can substantially increase the population of endangered animals by making them mate until they cause an uprise in population.

Firstly, zoos give animals protection. this increases the population of endangered species from poachers and hunters.

Secondly, they provide enough food, water & space to last them.

Thirdly, they give their species proper habitats for them to survive countless years. They also occasionally give them a partner for mating.

My conclusion: zoos provide enough resources to last the animal a while.

zoos protect the animals from any natural harm, such as predators, poachers, hunters & rivals

 Amphinja, the protector of the night skies.

Amphinja was a test subject in Raincoat. Corp, they tried infusing his DNA with a frog

Hes defeated many enemies such as Big T (The Toad) and Firefly.

In the city of frogaria you'd probably get bored pretty quickly, so he has a secret bunker underground decked out with tons of frogs, he also defends the city of frogaria with the amphi-crew.

What makes him unique is the amazing character design

Action Shots

 As he bolted towards the horizon, all he needed to do was gain momentum. He was a cheetah, gracefully sprinting towards was to become destiny.

The feeling was something he had never felt before, there was something that had encouraged him to keep on going, something that had chosen his career.

Through the depths of the mountains and sheer will, he had done it. He had finally made it.

Jai's W6 T2 Reading Tasks

 

Hello, this is a series of tasks we have to do for the week!

This was really fun and I definitely liked this week

Stranded

 What would you do if you were stranded on a Tropical Island? Certainly not much, here's the POV of someone stranded on an island.

"Woah, where am I?", I was stuck on a Tropical Island with zero help AT ALL.

"Welcome to my Testing Lab." a strange voice announced.

"Its not really a Lab if its on an island."

"That's besides the point!" "Its basically Adam and Eve all over again."

"Haha, very funny let me go you little-"

"Good luck I'm tired"

I started climbing a Niu (coconut tree) and started collecting coconuts for food and water, it was until I had found more land, it turned out there was other people on custom made islands, attempting to survive. One even had wood logs everywhere. We made a plan, We can gather wood logs and escape, but ONLY if we co-operate.

everyone had agreed until the voice had awoken, it turns out he had a control centre he was using for the voice changer.

Apon closer inspection I had noticed someone inside the control centre.

"Kellan!?"

"All along I had gathered you guys to compete, instead you just blew my cover" "well played"

T2 W3 Writing

 Being an Airbender is great! You get to have Flying Lemurs, and Flying Bison. Wait, Flying Bison!?
That's right, you can also fly and get air powers along with getting a flying Bison as a pet!

The other thing about Airbenders are that they have an insane power over all 4 elements (includes: Earth, Air, Fire, Water.)

Another thing to consider is rarity, there are very few Airbenders due to the loss of many of them.

Airbenders are usually calm, and open-minded. Something to demonstrate is how everyday after school I sit down and read a book, or how If my brother doesn't close the door in my room, I don't scream at him and instead tell him to close the door.

The best part is that airbenders can ride on gusts of wind, which is essentially flying but less cool. You can also manipulate air into doing things it wouldn't usually do, another thing you could do is shoot beams of air out of your hands which could possibly prove fatal.

Jai's T2 W3 Reading Slides

 

This is a series of tasks we have to complete for our reading, today's theme is Avatar!

I really enjoyed today's reading tasks and would love to do some more next week, I really loved how we got the chance to really just switch up the themes of the tasks and activities.

My song I made!

 

                                

This is a song i made for the Art Rotation, hope you like it!

If you didn't know the Art Rotation is a thing where we switch classes and discover the sorcery and categories of art from different places.

The theme I was going for was a Videogame Wonderland or a Joyful Rhythm.

Take on the challenge and see if you can remaster this tune and make it way better!

Sneak peak of my upcoming post...

 Hello! This is a little sneak peek of my upcoming post that's soon to come, so make sure to keep visiting my Blog!

This was really fun to build and I would 100% do it again. The trickiest part was getting the dimensions correct and getting absolutely nothing wrong as there is a prize for the best castle

My plan is to make a PERFECT circle then put a tower on top, the moat has to move, so what I'm going to do is put pistons and a lever that's connected, so I can close the door on any unexpected visitors!

Jai's T2 W2 Reading

 

this is the series of tasks we did, if you dont know every week we have tasks for writing, math, and reading. This was really fun and I enjoyed doing this alot

My Hobby Writing

Growing up most people would like to become a police officer, a doctor, etc. But I would like to become a Lawyer, but obviously that wouldn't be very easy at all.


You see, becoming a successful lawyer requires problem solving and alot of patience.


The best part about being a lawyer is your paycheck and getting $55 an hour, and just the thought of getting to be able to help people as a job is amazing when you think about it.


Another thing to consider is probability, this is really important because you get to know alot about the chances of getting your job. The chances of being a Lawyer is pretty good, you get a job with a low stress level and you also get a good paycheck. So that concludes that department with a solid maybe.


In conclusion: becoming a lawyer is a good career choice and you may focus on it if you want to.

My Nonsense Creature

 If I could create my own creature I'd make a robotic and futuristic duck with a huge cyborg eye about as big as a regular rubber ball. The Duck's diet would consist of metal and most unfortunately chromebook chargers. It would also live in a savannah as people would be afraid of it. It moves using gears inside the feet to slide around like everything is made of ice, it likes chromebook chargers and dislikes tangled wires (doesn't anybody?) Its personality is.... exactly, it doesn't even have one.

JAi's T1 W7 Reading

 

These are my tasks that I have done for the week, do you like my blog?

Changing the Future

 If i could change anything i would do a bunch of things for my own convenience but that's not what we need, that's what I WANT. You see, needing something is different from needing something. That could be from from stopping racism to making earth a better place. I would change the way people think different about each other because of their SKIN COLOUR, I would also change the fact that millions of litter end up in the ocean.

Jai's outer space writing

 I look outside the window

As I stare outside at the gloomy void of space i realise one thing, “Are there other forms of civilization out there?” I whispered. The next day i found something truly mouthwatering, no I’m serious. There was an undiscovered planet completely made of chocolate. when my crewmate stepped in he sunk in like he was in quicksand, only that its quicksand. As I make my way across the gooey wasteland I manage to find a cave in this unordinary planet, the stone and moss was covered in hotdogs and tin pots? This planet was crazy as there were tiny hints of civilization across the wasteland. When it turned night I didn’t risk a single thing and left ditching this planet and everything inside it.
