Play Minecraft Persuasive

Play Minecraft

People like and hate games left ‘n’ right, but this game is MUCH better than most of them except Halo obviously. Minecraft may have bad graphics because you can easily see the pixels BUT it is meant to be that way. So here are my 4 reasons to play minecraft.

Firstly, Minecraft has places to explore like the cavern layers where certain ores lay because ores won’t be on the surface just waiting to be mined. NO, they make it better so you use more effort to go and get them.

Secondly, Minecraft has interesting biomes and structures like the mushroom biome and the icicle biome and they are both rare. There are weird structures like pillager towers, villages, woodland mansions and more! This will help your imagination and creativity.

 

Thirdly, there is hidden treasure and broken pirate ships in the sea or on the beach and sometimes on land. You can find things in pirate ships like iron, gold, emeralds, treasure maps and more! For hidden treasure you find diamonds, gold, nautilus shells and all the stuff you can find in a pirate ship except for the treasure map. This helps your concentration.

 

 

Finally, there are epic bosses to fight like the Ender Dragon. You have to find a stronghold by getting an eye of ender (made by blaze powder in the nether and ender pearls from ender men) to lead you in the direction to it. There is also the wither made by 4 soul sand and 3 wither skulls all found in the Nether. It challenges your skills to beat other hard games.

concluding statement

You should play minecraft as it is the greatest game of all time for these reasons, THERE ARE STRONGHOLDS, PORTALS, MINESHAFTS AND A BUNCĦ OF ITEMS TO OBTAIN. THERE ARE only 2 bosses but THEY ARE HARD WITHOUT SHARPNESS OR SMITE. So go to your local warehouse and buy it NOW!

MY Art

in term one we looked at our school values and what it takes to be a good learner and class mate at karoro school. As the part of this we drew self portraits and chose quotes that reflected something we believed in or a value we see important.

Here is mine.

Porwhiri Writing

PORWHIRI

Wero

Ceremonial challenge by hosts to visitors to check if they come in peace or war.
But now Its just for respect. The people that performed the wero are the wariors.

Karanga

Welcoming those that come to the marae performed by the women.
The welcoming theme is like a sad tune that goes on for 10 seconds.

Whaikōrero

Speeches from the admin of the tribe. The men do the speeches.
In the speeches they welcome the guest and they pay respects to
the ancestor of the tribe. The speaker tells about what’s gonna happen
in the day.

Koha

Giving food or treasure like greenstone and gold and silver.
Donating money to help raise money for the marae. The koha is given
during the speeches.

Waiata

After the speech the waiata is sung (usually the women start it but the
women and men continue it and end it). This supports the speech.

Hongi

After the speech the visitors are invited to the hongi and to do the
hongi, you put you head and nose against another persons head
and nose. It’s a maori tradition and it’s a sign of peace and respect.

Kai

At the end of the porwhiri we have kai and in english it’s food.
We get all kinds of food: oranges, apples, banana, apricot, bread and
beef. VERY YUM, and usually we get cakes and cookies. Adults get
coffee and tea. (my brother gets coffee and he's 12!)

Kawa of Care

We have been learning to follow the kawa of care which tells us how to look after our devices and be cyber smart. We had to chose three rules to write about. here is my work.

Here it is!
