What do you like about the bottle?
I like this bottle because of the different colours because it stands out to me. 
And I like the little texter on the grips and the outlines of the bottom of the bottle 
And the little shadow behind the bottle adding detail.

What do you not like about it?
One thing I would change is the shape of the bottle because it looks so much like the legendary port a fort in Fortnite.



What your thoughts? (any feedback)

English Film Aspects

Practice writing for Sexxxy paragraphs

For English, we had a practice of writing a sexxxy paragraph  
He was given a trailer of a film to watch and then write about the aspects of the film 
in a sexxxy formate 

S- statement of film 
E- Evidence from the film 
X- Explanation of the effects in relation
X-  Explanation of directors purpose 
X- Explanation of how aspects are combined
Y- Your link

(Sexxxy)

The film Limitless
For instance, Neil Burger, the director of limitless used a medium close up and medium shot during all the times that the main actor has been interacting with other characters in the film.
This helped me understand what type of other character was the main character discussing. So the views can tell if the person he's discussing with is dogy or not.
This was done to help the views inform what type of another character he is interacting with. 
This worked well with the blur in the medium close up focusing on the person who’s talking and not getting distracted by what's happening in  the background 
This aspect can be compared to the film The BFG where the BFG is talking to the girl when the BFG first kidnaps the girl and they get into an argument.

The short Film Kerosene Creek NZ 
 For example, the main director of this shot film Michael Bennett
Used a medium shot for the death of the little boy in the short film Kerosene Creek NZ 
This makes the audience feel sad because it shows that the people around the coffin is all very deeply sad or is crying. 
And the background has a blur to make it focus on the main people surrounding the boy's coffin.
The purpose of this is to focus on the sad emotions that the characters were feeling at the time of the event.
Combined with the blur effect, it forces you to look in the direction where there is no blur and its just clear.
This reminds me of the show/film Mr bean because it has the same aspects and effect and it makes you focus on a lot of things.

 Cartagena, Colombia Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez 
"At one window the splendour of dawn was just beginning to illuminate the stifling, crowded room that serviced us both bedroom and laboratory, but there was enough light for him to recognize at once the authority of death. At the other window, there was a bright white light gleaming threw the glass showing me a mysterious object wrapped in a silky black cloth. I began to unwrap the object slowly, all these emotions flowing threw me thing what to expect once I find what it actually could be.

The treaty of whaitangi

Article 1
The Maori gave up complete sovereignty to Britain.
The meant Maori came under complete control of the British government and laws.
This is going to cause gained full control of the British government and laws.




Article 2
Maori are guaranteed the 'Possession of their lands, estates, forests, fisheries and other properties
And the British crown has the pre-emptive right
this will cause conflict because of the British would buy most of the Maori land.


Article 3
Maori have the same rights as British subjects.
this causes conflict because the British wanted the Maori to be under the British

Social studeis

In social we have been doing essay writing for our reports and I've started late because I just came back from a great holiday but here what I produced in the remaining time I had to finish


Introduction 
In 1830 there were 100 to 120,000 thousand Māori and 2000  Europeans living in New Zealand. The behaviour of the Whalers, the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Māori rights and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed. The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.

Lawless Behaviour
One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behaviour of some of the British Settlers like whalers. One of the reasons they needed a treaty was the issue of being drunk, causing lots of fights, and a lot of prostitutes and diseases. All of this was giving New Zealand a really bad name and that’s why a treaty was needed


Maori Right & The Missionaries 
Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries. The missionaries weren’t bad people. This is important because the missionaries could easily turned on the Maori and killed heaps of Maori people. The Missionaries were good people overall.


Musket wars 
Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. In this paragraph, I am trying to prove that musket trading was a bad idea. This was a very idea because 20,000 Maori’s were killed and they would trade large quantities of food and flax. So they would lose more than gain. This overall was a very bad idea.


Paragraph Four (The Slam Dunk)
The final reason that a treaty was needed was the existence of the Declaration of Independence. 
One of the reasons why the declaration of independence signed is to have protection by the British because so many other countries like France, Australia would come over to New Zealand and mess with New Zealand’s Property. And New Zealand was only to trade with the British and no other countries.  And another reason was to allow British residence to live all over New Zeeland, North and south island.


Conclusion (Robust Conclusion)
In conclusion, a treaty was needed to stop all these types of conflicts and problems and to follow these rules and have huge problems. Overall we needed treaties to stop all these little or big problems.
Otherwise, we would have had a huge problem in our country in the future.

Tsunami (Year 10, Geology).

In Science, I am learning about earth science
We are trying to make a model of a Tsunami

 The Equipment we need are:

  • big and long container 
  • Sand 
  • mud 
  • Newspaper 
  • Water
  • Little monopoly houses 

Here are our trial videos of us testing the Waves (And to test if it's the right amount of water for it to destroy the houses)

_________________________________________________________________________________

                                            What causes a Tsunami?
       A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor.
This sudden motion could be an earthquake, underwater landslide, huge volcanic eruption

A tsunami travels across the open ocean at great speeds and builds into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline.

How I solved the problem...


It was a Sunday morning at my work, I was working as a pizza delivery person and I would deliver pizza on my red moped. I was going out to deliver a few pizzas around the neighbourhood, I come across a red light and stop wounder to myself "There is always something happening to every single person in the world".


 I come to a stop at a second red light seeing the group of girls, And a mother and her baby walk past and then a little kid trying to run to cross but doesn't make it so he turns around to wait until it's safe to cross the road again. The light turns green again, I speed off noticing an old man sitting on the sidewalk with his walking stick and two of the same trucks driving past me. All of sudden I hear a riotous noise out of nowhere sounding like someone had crashed, Boom
I teleport back in time watching the group the girls and the mother and the kid that turned around halfway then the light turns green I speed off again wondering somethings bads about to happen.


 I pass the same old guy and then I watch the first green truck go by then I watch the second go by but then my eye catches the driver of the second truck fast asleep I quickly turn around in panic I speed up to drivers window yelling"WAKE UP,  WAKE UP ALREADY" The knockout driver lets go of the steering wheel then the big heavy truck starts to weave left to right then I try to smash the window open but it was too late. I crashed head-on going over my handlebars In mid-air, of my crash, the time slows down and I'm saying to my self "why did I try to become a hero". I felt like I was the
 biggest failure ever...

Next day I woke up in the hospital, I look right and I see my good friend Driaan beside me just steering at me, I jolt up steering right back saying "Umm I know I was dumb to interfere"... To be continued

 hydraulics


How do hydraulics work?
Many people have heard the term hydraulics in relations to cars or some other type of vehicle or machinery, but most people have very little idea of how hydraulics work actually work. They may have a vague concept of water being used to do something, but that's about it. Hydraulics is very interesting in how they use water to do what they do.

What are Hydraulics 
(Hydraulics can be a term used for studying liquids function, but most people think it's only used in engineering when they hear the term.)

Hydraulic systems work by using pressurized fluid to power an engine.
These hydraulics presses put pressure on a small amount of fluid in order to generate a large amount of power.

Here the basic idea of a hydraulic system: water in a contained system has pressured put on it from one side. That pressure forces it against a piston on the other side of the container. This transfers the energy into the piston, forcing it upward to lift something. Because of the pressure on the water will not let it flow backwards, the piston can never move in the opposite way.

The Science behind hydraulics
Because in the liquid in all way through it, even when you're pushing it hard at one end
or the other. Now the pressure is defined as the force acting per unit of area

Social studies

In social studies, we have been studying about the stone age.

Image result for stone age art

Back in the stone age, they made art by using charcoal
or that made a rock into powder and also burned wood.

They mostly use to draw people and animals usually and not many patterns.

Stone age drawings/painting were usually found in places like Africa, Europe, Australia, and also southeast Asia.


Here this is my drawing
 On the right of my finger is my painting
Its a guy with a rock (Looks like a gun)
Raiding someone others base
so he can get some food.


Here is also a video showing all of the other videos

Last time in Home economics we made Shushi. Vegetarian Shushi  

For sushi, we used vegetables such as Carrots, capsicum, salary, 
And we also added Mayo and wasabi 

We all started off  good we were following the right steps until my group mixed the wasabi 
And from there was the downfall of our Shushi.

The final product looked good it's just adding the wasabi was too spicy for my liking.
