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!

Toki Ponamu Film Festival review

The film review on the Toki Pounamu Film Festival
Today, our class traveled to the Regent Theatre to see the Toki Pounamu Film Festival. This is a festival where students made films and hoped there film was in the festival. There were 2 parts both having about 10 films. My favourite was the first one because it was the one with the most quality and it was quite funny. The seats at the theatre were those ones that make the cushion flip up. It was fun at the theatre and I liked it quite a bit beside the fact that I was in a pretty bad spot. The theatre was very large for a studio like this and some people even hid behind the curtains. The film was funny for the sounds and the costumes and they were well made. I rate a 8/10 for the great effort for this film and the film was a news report about a robber. They had music and slow motion along with captions.

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?

My NZ minibeast report

We have been learning about Minibeasts in class as part of science. We have been creating information reports on a Minibeast of our choice. The Minibeast we chose had to live in Aoetearoa/NZ. Here is my writing. I worked with Benny for this topic.

Big Punch Animation

Today we were learning to do an animation on google slides. We had to use free to use images (I just used my own) and we had to change some of the code to make it work. We had to make the animation loop by changing the word false to true inside the code. In the code I also changed the moving part to make it go faster. Hope you enjoyed my animation.

Textural Weta of Nz

What is a weta?

Weta are native insects to NZ.

Weta have an invertebrate and an exoskeleton. An invertebrate is an animal that has its skeleton on the outside which is called an exoskeleton and they don’t have a spine. Weta are also similar to crickets. They have 6 legs and 2 antennae. They have ears just below the front on their joint knees and they have a thorax and abdomen. Maori thought wetas were ugly so they called them a punga aka spirit of ugliness. There are five main types of wetas and 70 others. Although  weta might not look pretty, they are an important native insect.

Where do weta live?

Weta live in many different places (eg. a forest or swamp) not only that but also in rotten logs, the whenua (ground), in trees and sometimes your house. They have been around before the mokonui (dinosaurs) aka the triassic age. They mostly like wet environments like a rainforest. Only some species of animals live in rainforests.

What do weta eat?

Weta of course eat plants and weeds but surprisingly they also eat kāreti (carrots). Weta not only eat your kai (food), they also eat what it came from. Seeds. They can be omnivores, carnivores and herbivores. Carnivores for eating other insects, herbivores for eating plants or weeds, and omnivores for eating both.

What are wetas threats?

Weta have a lot of threats including tangata (us), they have birds as one, hedgehogs as another, porakas (frogs) as an additional etc. These animals weren’t the only threats through their whole life. Before us, they only had 2 threats, birds and tuatara. They are also dying out which is bad so here are some tips for protecting them. Look after them and their habitat (nohanga), don’t take them and move them somewhere far away from their original home and the main one of all, STOP SQUISHING THEM!

Where or how do weta breed?

Weta breed in grass places like the forest, your backyard, in trees or in a school field. They use a thing on their back to dig (ovipositor) into the ground and lay over 300 eggs. 4/10 only lay in aroaromahana kōrua matiti(spring and summer), 6/10 do it in autumn and no weta like doing it in winter. Weta eggs take 6-8 months aka half a year or 2 seasons to hatch which gives birds a massive advantage and a massive disadvantage. Advantage: weta don’t protect their egg. Disadvantage: they are in the ground and can’t reach them.

Are weta social?

No but most tree weta are, they are more hangu (passive) and social. The others are loners and probably aren’t carnivores or hunters at all. If they did want to contact other weta, they would use their legs to make a kita (chirping) sound. We aren’t the only ones that can communicate. We talk and communicate, weta chirp and communicate. They are also playful.
