My Worst Ouch!

 Kia Ora everyone. In this post, I will be telling you a story about the worst injury I've ever had. I don't really have any injuries that are as bad as this one, because I barely get injured.

I found it hard to explain how my finger got injured, because it was like complicated and stuff.

I found it easy to tell the story.

I can't really say any more information about the story, so just read it if you wanna know more.

What was I thinking? Playing a tiring sport a day before a tournament?

I had a really bad injury, that made me lose a tournament. Mine happened this year. I never really had

any injuries as bad as this. It happened in like Term 1 or 2. 

Me and my friends were playing basketball at school. It was when the Basketball Rams were coming

over to teach us about basketball and play it with us. We had a game that included teamwork.

But when It was my turn, it was a 3v3. I don’t really remember who I was with. We were winning, until

I was getting guarded by 2 people. I didn’t know who to pass to. I followed my instinct and passed it to

one of my teammates. But then someone else took and passed it back to me really fast, I didn’t see it

coming. So I tried to use my hand, but instead it slammed against my index finger. It was also standing

straight and firm. It then pushed my bone backwards into my joint. I then had to get benched off. I thought

it wasn’t really that bad.

After a few minutes, the session ended. It was nearly end of the day. We ran over to room 5, and took

our bags then walked off to the gate. When I normally jam your finger, it usually comes back to normal

after a few minutes. But I realised this jam was more serious than I thought. I told my friends what

happened. I tried to keep it a secret to my parents. Because they might get mad that I broke my

finger. They were gonna get mad because I had a taekwondo tournament the next day. Not really

but we had to go to Nelson the next day, and then the tournament is after that day.

When I got home, I waited for my parents to get home. I then told them what happened to my finger.

They didn’t know what to do. They thought it wasn’t serious.

Until the next day. We were getting ready to go to Nelson for the tournament. Before we went there,

my dad told me we had to go somewhere to get it healed and massaged. Since it was blood that was

stuck in my bone, it made it harder and painful to use my index finger. So when I had it healed, It felt

kinda better. It took a day to heal back to normal. But I still lost in the tournament. But having a broken

finger is worse. It still kinda feels weird till this day.

St. Vincent de Paul

Kia Ora everyone, I hope you had a great weekend during Lockdown. For R.E ( Religious Education) we have been learning about Saint Vincent de Paul. Here's a picture of the Saint Vincent de Paul Church in France.

Here's an interesting fact about Saint Vincent de Paul :

Saint Vincent De Paul was once captured by Pirates. While he was going home from the boat, Vincent was gonna sell some property he received in an inheritance from a wealthy patron. But while he was traveling he was captured by pirates and was brought to Tunnis in Northern Africa. He was then turned into a slave for 2 years. During his time as a slave he prayed God for help and was later freed.

 

 

Anime isn't for kids

Kia Ora everyone, today during lockdown we were given the choice to write an article about any topic., issue, or a person. I chose a topic which is "Anime isn't for kids" because there are people in the world that thinks that anime is for kids even though it's not.

I found it hard to try and make it look like an article.

I found it easy to write the paragraphs.

Here it is.

Anime is not for kids

By: Mark Relato

Anime is a very good thing to watch to be entertained and learn a lot more about the genre

of that certain anime you watch. You can even learn a lot about the japanese culture. A lot of

people think that anime is for kids because of the art style which makes it look like it’s cartoon.

I will prove to you that anime is not for kids.

Anime has different age restrictions some may have 7+ which is mostly just full of comedy, adventures,

and action and it’s kid friendly. Some may be 13+ which is for young teens and the genres can be much

more different, it can have swearing, blood, explicit scenes etc. So it means that each age restriction is

much more different, and to be honest I haven’t seen a single anime that is 7+ so probably 80% of all

animes are 13+ or over. Which finishes my 1st reason why anime is not for kids.

Anime creators give different anime characters different character designs. Some may have a different

tone, emotion, attitude, and character traits. For example, some characters can be mean to others, some

can be trying to kill people all the time, some have a deep voice, etc. But this means that the characters

all act different than each other, and they can do bad things that’s not for kids and stuff. There can

sometimes be swearing in some animes, which is not allowed for kids under 13.

If an anime is about fighting, action, adventure, martial arts and all the violent genres then they

obviously show blood and violence into the anime. If you think anime is for kids then you can watch

Blood C, Tokyo Ghoul, Demon Slayer, Highschool Dxd, and Jujutsu Kaisen. They will change your

perspective on anime. Anime has gore, blood, violence, or any other bad things you can think off.

“Anime is not just for kids. In fact, there are a lot of mature themes in anime you need to be an adult

to understand.” - Unknown. There are some jokes that aren’t for kid and only people with the mind of

an adult know. Anime teaches you the true value of Revenge, and revenge isn’t a good thing for kids

because it can cause a lot of trouble. Anime shows people getting drunk and doing drugs, which isn’t

kid-friendly. Anime characters go through real life problems like mental health issues, no home,

bullied, in war etc. 

People have debated for years that anime is for kids and that it isn’t but the truth is…

Anime isn’t for kids. It may look like it’s for kids but it actually isn’t.

Friends or Foe

Kia Ora. This blog is gonna be about friends or foe. It's about bugs or insects that are friendly or bad towards the nature and the environment.

I did this DLO with 2 other people, which is Ezra and Manuk.

The post is gonna tell you about different types of insects and what they do in order to help us with the nature. Some help with the fruits, tree, leaves, flowers, roots, etc.

Here it is:

Symmetrical Insect

 For Maths we learnt about symmetry and we had a task to find a bug or insect that was symmetrical and we had to draw it.

I drew a scorpion. I first drew a line in the middle, and then I drew half of a scorpion and when I was done I started designing the insides of it. After that I folded the paper in half on where the line was drawed on, then I went to the window and started tracing. To trace you either need light shining on the paper, or just go on a window where the sun is out. Then when you've done tracing all of it, Unfold it back to normal then you're done.

I found it really easy to come up with designs to put in the scorpion.

I found it really hard to make it as symmetrical as possible, mine's not perfect but it's decent.

Here's my work :

Own Graphic Novel

 Kia Ora, My name is Mark from St. Bernadette's School. This post is about a Graphic Novel or Comic that I made myself.

For Writing, we were taught about comics, writing languages, speech writing, inferencing, and onomatopoeia. We were taught by our Interns, that had recently left last week. We learnt a lot about them and we learnt how to make a comic properly and efficiently from them.

I made a comic about a show that was recently on the internet, and I've used some characters from the show. It's called "Tokyo Fighters" and the rest of the information is on the comic.

I found it easy to draw, and imagine what my next scene would look like.

I found it hard to come up with a story line that would be interesting and would fit.

(Note: You start reading a comic from top left, going towards the right.  But if you're reading Japanese Comic / Manga, you read from top right to left. But this comic I made is a normal comic.)

Here's my Comic Strip:

Thank you for reading this and sorry if it might be blurry.

The Things I learnt and taught in Student Summit 2021

Kia Ora, today was the Student Summit Day 2021. It took place in Hornby Primary School. There was a lot of people, and lots of different schools. We learnt a lot about digital stuff, that we didn't know example, how to animate in slides, and a website called Coggle.

Coggle is a website used for Mind mapping. It's used for DLO (Digital Learning Object), which is to show others about what you learnt. Coggle makes it so much easier and it's simple to use.

For the Animating in slides, we only got to the drawing part and we had to skip the animating because they ran out of time. But we still had a good time learning how to draw the human body. I was only able to draw the eyes part.

And for the Coggle we weren't able to save it. But we were Mind Mapping about, Fruits. For example: Tree Fruits, Stone Fruits, Citrus Fruits etc. Then we put information about those type of Fruits.

Now for the Teaching part. It was me and Manuk that was teaching others.

We taught people how to draw in Scratch. For example, We taught people how to draw a triangle and a square, We also taught people about why we need those type of Codes instead of other ones, or on what would happen if that Code wasn't added.

Here's some of my past creations.

Thank you for Reading through this.

What is the Purpose of Blogging?

Hello everyone, Good morning / afternoon / evening my name is Mark. In this post I will showing you a quick comic strip to sum up why we blog our work.

We blog our work because we want to show people our work and what we've done. But sometimes, we show our work so that we can get feedback from others and so that our work could get better.

Or you can blog your work about something you learnt and teach others about it.

I found it hard to find out what the purpose of blogging is.

I found it easy to explain what the purpose of blogging is.

Here's my comic strip.

All About Me

 Kia Ora It's me Mark. Today I will be showing you all about me. Not all of it but some bits. Because you know I'm being Cybersmart, and not showing information that can get me in danger and such.

I found it hard to try and remember what the funniest memory I had.

I found it easy to tell things about myself.

Thank you for looking at my work and I hope you now know all about me.

Kawa of Care DLO

Kia Ora, My name is Mark and today we have been learning about the Kawa of Care for Cybersmart.

Kawa of Care shows about how we can protect ourselves on our chromebooks. It even shows how we can protect our chromebooks by preventing it to be damaged or broken in any way.

And we made a DLO to show what we learnt about it.

I found it hard to try and make it creative.

I found it easy to explain how to keep it safe

Thank you for looking at my DLO, I hope you liked it and comment what else I need to improve.

The Lorax Sequel Stop Motion

 Heylo it's me Mark and today I will show you what we did for Topic for the past 2 weeks.

For Topic we watched The Lorax in Netflix for educational purposes, and after we watched it we brainstormed. Then we were told to make our own sequel. We're allowed to use anything to add a new sequel on what you think happened after the movie.

I found it easy to use Stop Motion and move the props around.

I found it hard to make the characters and to make it simple and good at the same time.

Here it is, and I worked with Manuk and Tini.

Fake News

 For Cybersmart we are learning about media. But last week, we are learning about Fake News. We learnt about learning the difference between Fake News and Real News. We can tell if it's real or not. Also we learnt how to tell if the site is fake or not.

But in this activity we had to make our own Fake News. I tried to make it funny because it's fake news so it's not true and wont offend people.

I found it easy to make it fake since it's not true.

I found it hard to find good photos.

Camp Article

 For Cybersmart, we had to write an article about camp. Lots of stuff happened at camp, and we wrote about it. We also had to make our own ads to make it better.

I wrote about every single bunk rooms eating lollies, and how we didn't get told off for doing it. We had lots of fun at camp. We did a bunch of things, like play outside in the dark as a whole camp game.

I found it hard to find a good time during camp to write about.

I found it easy to make the ads.

Here it is. (You can press on the ad if you would like to.) (Comment if there's something wrong with it.)

What Media I've consumed for the past 24 hours

HEYHEY!!! It is me Mark.

Today I will be showing you what Media I've consumed for the past 24 hours. (I mean it already says at the title so like yeah...)

First of all what is Media? Media is the means of mass communication ( broadcasting, publishing, and the internet) regarded collectively. As it says if you search it up.

Basically getting information or communication anywhere.

Here's a list what I've consumed.

The Golden Rule DLO

Heylo!! It's Mark. I haven't posted in my blog for a while, my bad, Anyways.

For R.E (Religious Education), we have been learning about the Golden Rule. Let me explain.

So the Golden Rule is basically in the bible it is shown in Luke 6:31 here's a link if you wanna go read it ----> https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206%3A31&version=NIV 

It means that treat others the way you want to be treated. But when someone treats you bad, you don't do the same to them. Instead you forgive them. There's more about it in the DLO. 

I found it hard to use book creator because I don't use it that much really. 

I found it easy to explain the Golden Rule, and decorate the DLO. 

Here it is, by the way it's made by a site called Book Creator. If it doesn't work please comment on my post, and I will reply and work on it as soon as possible. 

Note: I can't find a way to publish my Book Creator so I screenshoted and put it on a Google Slide.

Maori Language Week Stop Motion DLO

 Kia Ora, Ko Mark toku ingoa. Today i will be showing you my first ever stop motion DLO about Maori Language Week. First I will tell you what I've been learning about and how I made the stop motion.

So I learnt about different animals in Maori. Colours in Maori Black / Pangu. Also sentences in Maori, Ata Marie / Good Morning, Morena / Morning too. And even facts about Maori. About maraes, history and other sorts of stuff.

Okay, so in order to make a stop motion, you have to atleast duplicate one slide into a bunch, so that it could go slowly, or as fast as you like. But if you want it to  be a good one, then add a bunch of the same slides. Then keep adding up more new slides.

Here's my Stop Motion.

Teaching Kids how to draw in Scratch

 Konichiwa, it's me Mark. (Not Japanese by the way. Anime.) Today I will be showing you what I've been teaching people like an hour and a half ago, and what I've learnt. You probably have seen me, with the Lazarbeam / old man profile picture that was presenting in Session 3 and 4.

I taught people how to draw in Scratch automatically. I will figure out soon, on how to put on the recording on my session in here. But for now. wait . 

Anyways, there was a bit of distraction. Like kids not muting their mics, or mics echoing and makes a loud loud NOISE. And you know online class stuff.

Anyways, so I will show you soon.

Koru and Kowhaiwhai

 Ki ora, It's me Mark. I will be telling you what Korus and Kowhaiwhais are used for.

First of all, if you draw a Koru, or see a Koru on paintings or in plants, It's a sign of peace, new life, and renewal. It's a very popular symbol, that's used in a lot of Maori Art. Korus are important to New Zealand, because of its beauty and meaning.

On the other hand, Kowhaiwhais are used a lot in Maori Art as well. It is always coloured with the traditional colors (white, red, and black). It's sometimes made together with Korus.

Thank you for reading Facts, and meanings about them. I hope you learnt something!!!

Pirates Land and Sea Jobs Venn Diagram

Ahoy there matey!!, It's me Captain Merk.

Today I will show you the jobs on land and sea by pirates.

For Topic we have always been learning about Pirates and we had to make a Venn Diagram about different pirate jobs on land and sea.

I found it easy to design my Venn Diagram.

I found it hard to find the difference if the job is either on land or sea or both.

One job I wanna be is a captain. Because I can at least boss people around for once in my life.

Here it is.
