Student Summit

 Hi bloggers 

This is the first student summit that I have done in my whole lifetime. We were going to go to a school but because of covid-19 we could not go. I participated in this I did not show anyone anything.    

Today is the student summit day  Pick a Path, Scratch Shapes, Pixton Comics, and Make Belive comics. All of my things will be in one post and on a goggle drawing. I hope you like my post and I think the student summit was great.  For my first student summit I think I did good even though I only did watching others present their's. 

Here is all of my things that I made  

Hope you like mine

Episode 1 of Camp (READ)

 Hi Bloggers, 

Week 7 Term 3 of school we went on camp to Arthurs- Pass. It took 2 hours and 30 minutes exactly because we stopped a lot. We got there on a bus it was nice bus, The bus had some TV'S and every seat had a air conditioner.  Me and my friends played UNO. When we got their we unpacked and the instructors names were Gemma and Ruby. There was some Parent Helpers on camp as well their names where Lu, Paul, Jo, Bretton, Richard Dan, Mr Robertson, and our teacher Miss Rennell.  This Post for camp is about River Crossing. 

River Crossing was FREEZING like if you put a bag of ice on your feet for 2 hours then it will be as cold as river crossing. It made your feet and legs go numb and their was slippery rocks so you could not just run across. We learned that if you are carrying a big pack then go with the stream and then you will not be trying to push yourself to get the other way upstream. 

 

My Photos Of the first day

My Reflection of River Crossing was that it was really cold and that when you were done you almost cried of coldness. 

Have you ever been to Arthurs- Pass?

Make sure you come tomorrow for Episode 2  

My Speech

Hello Bloggers

Today I am posting about my speech. Today at school we presented our speeches. I am competing for the school competition. My speech is entitled, 'can video games make you smarter?' Also when the other classmates  were reciting theirs we had to mark them. My favorite speech was my friend named Alvin his was about Busy verses Productive people. When I marked his Speech he got 28/28 because his speech was good he had good eye contact. His speech was in the time limit.  

Here Is Mine:

I have heard  quite a lot of people say that video games make you dumber. But I love them and I am smart so I have to prove my point.  

Hi my name is Ethan. I Love video games. I will show THEM WRONG. Who loves video games probalry everyone. I sure do. 

My point is that everyone says that video games make you dumb. I do not believe them. According to studies that only some of the games make you smarter Minecraft etc. A couple of scientists tested 12,004 students, they found that students who play video games do better then other people who don’t. 

Also some people say that playing video games makes your eyes ruined but I always sit to close the TV when playing video games. My Mum and Dad always tell me to sit back from the TV.  But can first person shooter games make you smarter? The answer is yes, studies show that if you play FPS games like call of duty, fortnite ETC they make you faster at things but not smarter. Some scientists studied games and when you learn about the same topic in class then you will be more likely to rember what the Answer is. 

Here are some excuses to make you allowed to play video games 

1.You develop reading skills if the game your playing has words on the screen or if you are reading the instructions 

Video games help you concentrate  more because when you play a game you will be focused on the game and nothing else. 

Studies found that people who play video games on a regualr basis learn faster then others that don’t 

     So I hope that has taught you lots, Remember don’t play too many video games that make you dumber (not)...  So now you understand that video games make you smarter so don’t say they make you dumber.

I Have A Dream

HI bloggers 

We are about to start our learning on Speeches in Rimu. When I heard this I … Freaked out because I do not like standing in front of everyone

Before we started, we had a task to do to visualise ourselves doing well. We used goggle drawings to create these images. Mine is down below. It is my 'dream' for how it will go and to make sure I stay positive

1. While I was creating this drawing I thought about…

The hardest part for me during speeches is going to be… Standing up and talking to others because sometimes I do not like talking in front of other

The easiest part is going to be... listening to others when I am done

I chose these tips for myself because… I always get a little bit nervous when we do speeches.

Have you ever had to write and present a speech before?

What would your tips be?

Did you like this post?

Bye for now Ethan
