2023 I made it into Eden Albert Athletics team for the coming 1st 200M and on the day of Eden albert I somehow came second in my heat for 200M and then came Second again in the 200 meters Finals!  We had to use show don’t tell to create this writing and I tried my best to use what I learnt about show don’t tell. Here is my writing about that moment of running.

Here is the Picture of the moment after the Race.  (It is very low quality)

My heart was pumping as my eyes focused on a swishing figure sprinting far ahead of me. The first sweating person crossed the finish line, I knew I couldn’t be first but there was always second! Noisily, the crowd was courageously cheering but my mind focused on the finish line quickly approaching. As my rough foot touches the victorious line, my brain starts to celebrate knowing that I have come second! My legs crumble and I fall down on the ground unable to stand back up. Even though I knew I didn’t get first, I was proud I got second! Heart Filled with excitement as my brain raced off when my parents would find out that I came second!

Today we are doing another Would you rather Ponder! Here is the question.

I would be very lucky because you could just go to a lottery thing and you would have a very high chance of winning! Be very smart isn’t that good because all it is doing is making you smarter and it is going to help you in life and you will be known as being smart but it might not benefit you as much, you would be famous though.

What would you pick?

Today we are doing another novel ponder. Here is the question.

I would leave a message saying about everything I have learned and I have survived with. I would tell them how to survive and how to be rescued. I would tell them what to eat and how to get to where I lived.

Tips:

1. You can fish at night in a ponder with spears, be careful though you might find yourself surrounded by caimans.
2. Know your differences between a poisonous  spider and a good spider, you will need them for food.
3. If you find a beehive, cover your arms and all of your body in ants, the bees are scared of this and you will be able to safely take honey from the hive.

What Tips would you tell someone if you escaped from the jungle?

Over the following weeks when Kapa haka goes to the hall, The Den has been making slideshows about our interest and how we can stop things. I did mine about How Ai is becoming to smart. Here it is. 👇

Thanks for reading my slideshow. Ai is very smart and that is why I wanted to share this topic.

Are you concerned about Ai taking over the world?

We are doing another Would you Rather Ponder. Here is the Question.

I would be the worst player on the Best team because, if you’re on the best team you must be with the best of the best meaning you are probably not as good as the others but you would be an average player. You would be winning which would make you happy and your team would always be cheerful.  Being on the worst team would just make you angry and sad that you always lose.

What would you pick?

Today we are doing another Novel Ponder. Here is the question.

I would definitely eat Caiman because it would have the most meat. It would taste really yum and I don’t like eating bugs (Unless I’m about to die)  It would be hard to catch a bird and you wouldn’t get much meat and food out of it. I have arachnophobia so I don’t want to eat a spider (even if its dead).

What would you eat?

Today we did a cybersmart thing about smart searching and if you will get different results if you put the words in different orders.

Here is the slide that I did about it.

This was fun to do and I got to search the web and I got different results for some of them.

Have you ever done something like this?

Today we are doing another novel ponder! Here is the question.

I would ask to have my favourite meal which is Scrambled egg in a warm wrap with bacon. It tastes so good and it is so yummy, if you ever make scrambled eggs ask to have it in wrap because it will make your breakfast hundred times better!

Also I would have it with my family because they are very nice and they like it as well.

What would you have?
