Kia Ora Bloggers! Today we had a complicated task. It was to make our mars helicopter move with scratch! For those of you who dont know what scratch is, Its a coding app which helps you develop coding skills. You have to use the commands to try and make your sprite move. I made my mars helicopter but sadly It didn´t work. I tried again to see if the coding commands were misplaced, but I ended up getting the same result. I found it challenging to try and fix the coding commands, but found it easy for me to lay out the backdrop and the new sprite. I have a slide here if you want to give it a go.
Here is how my scratch coding turned out:
The slide above has a video of instructions so you can make your mars helicopter fly. Thats all for today.
Kia Ora Fellow Bloggers. Today is another day for Kea´s Distance Learning. But today was quite unique unlike the normal days we have. Kea was just discussing the challenge for today when the teachers showed us a slide with 3 different breakout rooms. Each was with a teacher. The first breakout room was with Mrs Tonga and Whaea Sam. They were doing creative writing. The second breakout room was with Mr Toala and Mrs Mel. They were doing recount writing. And the last breakout room was with Whaea Ocea and Mulki doing comment on dojo/blog.
We each had a chance to choose the breakout room we wanted to go to. I chose to go in the second breakout room. I clicked the link and set off to go to the google meet. When I was there a lot of other student were as well. Mr Toala told us and gave us examples of what we were supposed to do. Then we asked some questions and went back to the main google meet session. There we talked about what we did and how we are going to do it. So now i´m doing 1 of my tasks which is to make another mars rover.
I will try and post the recount later in the day. but for now you can take a look at my mars rover. Here is my Mars Rover. The last time I drew it but today I made it digitally. I found it easy to try and use different shapes, but found it hard to find the right background to match my image.
Here is a description of how I made my rover:
I used a variety of shapes to try and find something to match the base
I found a background that I like and displayed it
Then I coloured in my shapes and added 2 buttons.
So to conclude, that was the end of how I made my rover. I hope you can follow these instructions and make your own rover.
Hi Bloggers! Today Kea discussed how planes work. Kea learned that planes use 4 different forces of flight - thrust, drag, weight, and lift. All those combined help an air stay afloat in the air. Today me and Belinda have made a slideshow showing our planes. We made reports, facts, and photos of our plane. It has photos of how it functions an/or works. Here it is:
I found it quite challenging to do some research, but found it very easy to put it together. Ive put together some steps if you want to try to make the same plane as me:
Fold a piece of paper in half horizontally
Take out the fold and make two triangles at the top
When thats done with your two triangles you are gonna folder them one more time. ( On top of each other.
Then fold it back in half and make wings by bending the sides.
Fly your plane. Experiment if you plane fly´s or not.
Kia Ora bloggers! Today we got a special visitor - Andy Crowe! ( No not Andy Crowe the PMP ) Andy taught us how to design a 3D rocket in Tinkercad. I used a variety of different shapes to create my rocket. It was kinda hard to make the bottom part lift up so I could make flames. It was easy for me to create the base and use different angles to place the wings. I had to try to bring the roof of the rocket above the base. My rocket is kind of simple because it was quite challenging. After several attempts I finally got it to be somehow similar to the video. I made rocket boosters so it could fly even faster. But I couldn´t make any flames.
This is how it turned out:
I hope you could make a blog post about rocket you make! This rocket was fun to make and a very special thanks to Andy Crowe for taking off his time to come and teach us how to make rockets on tinkercad! The kea team really appriciates it.
Here is a slideshow with the video if you want to make a rocket too! Go to tinkercad.com:
Hello again fellow bloggers! Today is the 4th day of lock-down which also means it time to complete our 4th distance learning task. As you can tell from the title, I´m creating a Mars Helicopter to fly onto mars and discover life on other planets. Me and Belinda attempted to do it on Minecraft Education, but it was hard to make the top layer. So we I have done it individually by drawing it. I draw a rover exploring mars.
I found it challenging to draw the mechanical claw , but found it easy to make the base. Im gonna colour it in soon but for now im gonna leave it as it is.
Hello fellow bloggers today I will be doing a blog post on k-pop as a suggestion from someone anonymous. I´m am just obsessed with k-pop this year! For you people who don´t know much about k-pop its an acronym for Korean pop.

I hope those facts help you learn a bit about my favourite k-pop groups. If you were to chose I k-pop group I recommend being a ARMY or a Stay. But if you like other k-pop groups i´m not forcing you. K-pop is one of my favorite genres of music. They´re lyrics have deep meaning to it. My favourite song from Bts is Magic shop and Life goes on, and For Stray Kids It has to be Mixtape oh and The Veiw. These are my favorite songs because they have very deep meaning to their lyrics. I recommend you listen to them if you had the time. But here are some kpop facts about me:
____________________________________________________________________________________Who are my Bias: OT7 for Bts and OT8 for Stray Kids ( It means one true 7 or 8 )
My favorite album: Love myself from BTS and NOEASY for Stray Kids.
My favorite song: Bts is Magic shop and For Stray Kids My pace
My Bias Wrecker: Toxic Fans and/or Haters.
Why I got interested in k-pop: There music is so powerful and I dont see why people hate it. In my opinion I think k-pop is the best genre of music. But the main reason why I got interested is becuase of the bands backstory and how far they´ve come. I want to make as much memories as possible before they disband.
How did I find BTS and Stray Kids: I just found one of there music videos on my recommended for YouTube and listened to it. It was actually Idol by Bts that I first heard of. Back door by Stray kids was soon found later. Surprisingly i found it quite soothing. I started to get more and more interested with them and now I stream their music videos nonstop. Then I became an ARMY and a STAY.
What does BTS and SKZ mean to me/ What do I see in BTS and Stray Kids: I see there personalities within their members. They have all become so successful in life. Some members have unsupportive parents or mental illness but I was so glad to see them get through it. I use their qoutes alot as well.
My Favorite k-pop soloist: IU , Somi, and Jessi. I like Iu´s Celebrity song so that got me to know more about her.
Were there any problems for me being a ARMY and a Stay: Only a few. When I found out their disbandation date I was quite shocked. But then there were the bigger problems, Blinks otherwise known as Blackpink Stans; have started to threaten BTS fans. But luckily I wasn´t involved in one of them. Blinks started to spread more rumors about BTS and it really hurt me knowing I couldn´t stop them. Its quite challenging seeing your favorite k-pop group hurt. Hence, It isn´t that hard but its quite deppressing.
When did I get so interested in BTS and Stray Kids: It started about a few months ago, around mid January. I started listen to their songs regularly and became a ARMY and a Stay. For as long as I remember I would always stream their new music videos so that they get as much views as possible.
Why do I only like BTS and Stray Kids: Thats not necessarily true. I like other k-pop groups as well such as Itzy and TXT. But I have one important rule for being a k-pop stan - Stick with your top 2 k-pop groups. Its not that I dont want to stan other k-pop groups its just that I am minimalist. I chose BTS and Stray Kids becuase they stand out to me.
My Favorite K-drama: Meteor Garden. I mean like I just love it becuase of the plot twists, turn of events, and the mysterious characters. But I would reccomend watching it.
I have a list of k-pop songs you might want to hear or just chill and listen to them. Some of these songs are very powerful and have deep meaning to their lyrics. There is an additional Bts and stray kids chill playlist for study and/or relaxing at the bottom. I hope you enjoy:

Here is some advice from me: Even if you dont want to stan BTS and/or Stray Kids, Go your own path even if you want to live for a day. ( Those lyrics were by BTS ) Do what makes you happy. And If you find a k-pop group you love and are passionate about, Stan them. Make as many memories as possible before they disband. Stream their new MV´s. Thats what Im trying to do nowadays. Seeing BTS and Stray Kids live their life to the fullest, Make happy memories together, and mature are one of the many things I do as a K-pop Stan. And don´t forget these wise BTS and Stray Kids qoutes:
BTS qoutes:
Forget what hurt you, but dont forget what taught you.
Now lets forgive ourselves Our lives our long, Trust yourself in a maze, when winter passes, spring always comes
When things get hard, dont give up, stop for a while look back and see how far youv´e come.Don´t forget how rewarding it is. You are most beautiful flower, amongst the millions of others.
Never give up on a dream youv´e been chasing your whole life.
I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was, and for who I hope to become.
Stray Kids Qoutes:
1. Even if it’s hard and tiring, don’t give up
2. Without comparing to others, I’m getting closer to my dream
3.If I fail, I’ll get back up again
4.I don’t wanna get hurt again, so I’m covering my ears and walking on my path
5. I break free from those voices in my head
6. Just because someone is ahead, doesn't mean they are first
Here are the sources of some BTS and Stray Kids qoutes:
As I promised - Bts and Stray Kids chill Playlist; Enjoy! :
Thank you for having a look at my k-pop blog post . I hope this wasn´t so long to read. I just had so much to tell everyone. I hope you guys get inspired to do a blog post about your favourite k-pop group and why you got into them. Im looking forward to visiting you blogs and reading you k-pop blog posts. So my challenge for you is to leave a comment talking about ethier:
Hello fellow bloggers! Once again I have come with another task to share. This time I was working with a friend of mine. We put together a slideshow presentation of what we made. As you all know Im a very big fan of K-pop. Me and Belinda even added our favorite k-pop groups so it was like how we would design it. Mine is BTS and Stray kids and Belinda´s is Enhypen. I made my 2 satellites BTS and Stray kids themed. Each slide shows you the rockets me and Belinda designed.
Belinda made an Enhypen satellite explaining the outside of a satellite, while I did a Bts satellite which talks about the wings and a Stray kids satellite which talks about the body.On the second slide you can press on the logo of the satellite you want to see the most and It will take you there. I found it hard to make the line intact with the wings, but found it easy to design it and colour it.
As you all know its the second day of lock down , so that means its the time to post what kea´s second task was. Whaea Sarah was in charge of telling us what our second task was. She explained that we had to make our own space helmet out of objects we find around our household. We could construct it out of plates, or draw it, or make it digital. I didn´t quite find the equipment i needed to build a space helmet, so I decided to make it on google drawings.
I labeled my helmet with all the things it can help me with in outer space. I found it challenging to use the formatting options because i wanted to change the colour of my helmet or drop the shadow reflection. I found it easy to design it and add my personal touch to it.
I added SKZOO to the side to make it look more fun. I added arrows pointing to the labels so you can read it.
( SKZOO is a project by Stray Kids, where each member has a cartoon avatar representing them)
Today the kea team planned out an activity to keep us occupied during lockdown. That activity was to draw or make a rocket. I drew a rocket because I found it quite challenging to find the materials to make one. I found it easy to draw all of the feature to my drawing and I found it challenging to color it becuase it took time.
I added my own twist to my rocket so it looked different. I drew the rocket with a BTS logo because I am obsessed BTS. And I also drew half the earth to show the rocket escaping the earths gravitational pull. The fins on my rocket help the aerodynamics accelerate . Accelerate means to make it move quickly and/or faster. And aerodynamics is the force of which an object can interact with the air with a solid body. This with make my rocket move more faster escaping earths gravitational pull.
On Tuesday, All the year 6´s from the Kea team walked to Wesley Intermediate. It wasn't that long of a walk to get to the Intermediate. We entered the gate of Wesley Intermediate and met the vice-principal, Mr Taufia ( sorry for wrong spelling ). He introduced himself and asked us some questions before we went inside.
Once we went inside we were all amazed at how different and unique the intermediate was. We walked passed some hallways and into the Gym/Hall. Then we went outside and Mr. Taufia gave us a tour. He first showed us where the Woodwork class was. We all went inside and observed all the different tools.
Then we went into the little hallways and entered the next room; the music room. In that room was a bunch of musical Instruments some even used in orchestras! There were ukuleles, Guitars, Keyboards, and Drums. Then Mr. Taufia said that they were the only school in New Zealand that had a Caribbean Drum group.
Then we went outside and saw where we could spend our Morning tea and Lunch playtime. We were not allowed to go where the Wesley intermediate students were. Soon, we went into the Hall and saw May Road Primary. We sat down in our colour groups - Red, Pink, Green, Black, Blue. I was in the Black group with Ashley, Mele, Doris, Haydara, Joseph, and Rakaii.
Then we saw some Wesley Intermediate students sitting on benches near May Road. Then we met the Principal and our leaders. Our leaders were the ones who would take us to our assigned classes. Our leader was Bella and Gammado. Our first-class was robotics. We met Mrs. Mundy and some more helpers. We used Scratch to code our spheros. Spheros are some sort of round ball controlled by a coding app. After we finished we went back to the hall to have morning tea. Then we went outside to play. After we went back to go to our next class - cooking.
We went to cooking and got the instructions. Our teacher said we were going to make brownies. Then she took us through of all the different recipes and pastries we could make when we went here next year. We went to a station with a helper from the intermediate. We started following the instructions while our helpers heated the baking trays. We ended up pouring the batter into the tray and put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Then for lunch, we went to the hall and ate our brownies and lunch from school. And again we went outside to spend playtime. Then Bella and Gammado took us to our final class- art. We met Mrs. Sialoa. She taught us how to use oil pastels and blend in colours. We had to try and blend different colours and make shades. After we each got a piece of black paper and drew lines and colored it in with our oil pastels. We blended in it from darkest to lightest.
Then we all went back to the hall to receive our certificates. Then we all said goodbye to May Road and left. So to end, this was Kea´s Wesley intermediate experience.
Have you ever tried a gravitational force experiment? Try taking an empty and a full bottle and dropping them both on the ground at the same time and height. Notice Anything? What happened was a gravitational pull. The full bottle fell down first right? Force is what happens when an object with a greater mass than the other falls first. This also happens when the mass of an object affects the gravitational pull.
Isaac Newton, a former scientist is one of the many scientist who had a theory of how gravity was formed. The story or myth of how this happened was , when Newton was sitting under a tree an apple fell on his head. At first glance he thought the sky was collapsing on him. Eventually he had another theory of how gravity was formed but that´s not concluded yet.
Soon more and more scientist started to form more theories of how gravity was formed. The most common theory is that gravity keeps the things on the earth from floating into outer space. There is no gravity in space, that´s why planets float around and orbit our solar system.
Then, a conclusion was formed. Why scientist are researching further on why there is no gravity in space. Referring back to experiment I mentioned at the beginning. Kea did the exact same experiment on Monday. They tried it with different objects, dropped them at different heights, and dropped them at different times.
The surface force, mass, and matter affected how the objects dropped and landed. In other words the one with more mass and matter fell first. So to conclude that´s how a gravitational force affected how an object landed.
