My Holidays

Hi Gamers! this post will be about my school holidays. Enjoy!

So at first the holidays started off as a bummer. I was invited to go watch Transformers: Age of Extinction with a mate, but I had a fever and couldn’t go. Then my holidays started working out. I had to stay at my nan’s place for 5 days. What made this awesome was my uncle, who is more into gaming than I am (Now THAT’S an awesome uncle) and he had a huge 50” TV and a Ps4, Ps3 & Xbox 360. And I was allowed to play with him! It was sooo cool. Then I had to go to Oosh (OR vacation care)  which I didn’t really like but I made it through, so it’s not as much of a big deal as I thought it was. Then, half way through the holidays, I got this AWESOME L-shaped desk. And after that MY OWN PS4!!! I had never been so happy in my life (well, I have but ITS A PS4!) Then my holidays became, well, normal. I slept in every day, cousins coming over,that sort of stuff. It was a really good holiday in my book.

That’s how my holidays went, how did yours?

School Work Week 9 Term 2: Ecological Footprint

Hi guys! welcome to my next blog! I will be telling you how we can minimize our bad side of our ecological footprint. So here we go!

 

I have 3 points on this. My first is plants and factories (Plants as in power plants). Plants are a thing that produces air pollution, & some factories too (also cars). So we can reduce this by not building as many plants and factories, and using other transportation such as bikes, walking, jogging & catching the train. Also there is recycling. Recycle plastic, cardboard & glass to reduce animal extinction. Also there is water saving. A few ways are to take 2 minute showers, don’t fill the bath all the way up, Don’t use too much water washing your car & don’t litter, because that kills animals.

As you can see, we can all reduce our bad ecological footprint. So get to work!

 

The Walking Dead: Video Game Review

Hey gamers!

Todays blog post is the first of many VG Reviews (VG=Video Games)! The first review of this series is The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead is about the Zombie Apocalypse starting. Nobody knows how it started, but the dead has arisen. You come across a lot of people and they can help you, or kill you. It depends on their survival ideas. Say if you come across a boy and his father. They will be nice to you  but if you, lets say you let the son die, he will kick you out. This isn’t your ordinary game. It is a comic-like series, and is played in episodes and seasons, like a TV show. You play as a man, and in future episodes a little girl called Clementine. The mans name’s Lee.

Classification: M OR MA15+

Suitable for: over 12’s

Rating: 8/10

See you next time gamers! Peace!

We recently had our every term rewards day where people that haven’t been in detention 3 times, haven’t been suspended OR didn’t come to school 7 times for no good reason were allowed to go. Our term 1 rewards day for 2014 was visiting the Botanical Gardens. We had a great time, we walked around and looked at some pretty awesome things. we played Hide ‘n’ Seek, Tips and Wrestling. Well, me & my friends did.

2. Easter Hat Parade

Since Monday, we have been creating Easter hats. It was fun, until mine broke. since then I have been doing stuff on the computer while the rest of the class does their hats. The hats are for the Easter Hat Parade. This is on Friday, so I will post about it tomorrow.

Enjoy the post, gamers! Also, be sure to check out My Guide To Gaming page!

 

 

 

Internet is coming! (Finally)

Hey gamers!

I am posting today about my internet. recently, Telstra has been delaying our internet for 2 months. With hope, they will be coming tomorrow. I hope that they appear as I have not been able to play online for weeks! It’s very annoying. I hope you understand that I’m furious that they cancelled soooo many times.

See you soon!

Joel.

6H Poem Work

Hi guys!

Recently, 6H students have been asked to make a Friendship writing & a poem about the Hiroshima bombing on August 6th, 1945. Then we were asked to put one of these tasks on our blog. This is my poem. It was published in the school newsletter. It’s called ‘Destruction’. For more information, click here.

A city wrapped in devistation,

A house in complete destruction.

Homeless & scared,

People sickened, ruined & dead.

Unfortunate end,

For two towns of Japan.

Scars & poison,

Made by human hands.

Breath-taking sights,

Of a bomb so bright.

Suffering & destruction,

For all nearby.

Red blood everywhere,

Black ash covers the ground.

Horrifying events,

Ending life in the most sickening of ways.

I am a Digital Citizen

To be a Digital Citizen, you need to follow these steps:

1.   Don’t post rude or unkind things.

2.   Be careful with what you post on the web.

3.   Do not download pirated (Downloaded without paying) movies, games, music etc.

4.   FRED is what you think about when you are writing online.

Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity.

Be sure to follow these rules to be a Digital Citizen. You have the right to be online, but not if you are rude and unkind.

When I am online I must be kind and cooperative to others and to make sure I do not download any pirated equipment and not to do inappropriate things. For example, when I am playing Minecraft online, I must make sure I cooperate with my mates. Another example is when I use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Only talk to people you know in person. So I don’t be mean, don’t trust people I don’t know and keep myself safe.
