Basketball

Basketball has ended for this term, so no more games for 2 weeks I think. This term we went pretty well. We won at least half our games, maybe more. But next term, instead of having two teams, were gonna have three! A year 8 team and 2 year 7 teams. So I hope next term were still one of the best teams in the grade, even without our year 7 partners.

End of Term!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is now officially the end of term 3! No school for 2 whole weeks!!!!!!! I can't wait to sleep in, go over to friends houses and lots of fun stuff! Yeah!

WE LOST?!?

New Zealand LOST the Americas Cup?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Americas Cup!!!!

The Americas Cup has been so exciting so far! First, we were winning 8-3, now were tied 8-8!! Tomorrow will be the decider, who is better? New Zealand, or a bunch of the World's best European sailors sailing a tricked out boat calling themselves America? We will find out tomorrow. And, GO NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!!!!!

An unexpected journey...

I was woken up this morning to realise that my sister also had a soccer tournament in Masterton!!! I got up at 7 and we left at 7:45 for my second 90 minute ride!!!Kelsey also played 4 games, and they weren't exactly the best team in the league. They lost there first 3 games 7-0, 8-1, and 7-1. Then they won their last game 4-1. And then we had to drive all the way back [another 90 minutes!] And now I'm going to be going to my cousin's 5th family birthday party! My dad also got the monthly record for mini golf adults at this mini golf place, 36 for 18 holes! So that's good. Well I've got to go now but I hope we don't have any more tournaments coming up anytime soon!

Masterton!!!

I've just gotten back from my soccer/football tournament in Masterton [which is an hour and a half drive from here!!!] The team I was filling in for played 4 30 minute games, and we didn't do that well. We lost our first game 7-0, lost our game 1-0 [they got a penalty] tied our third game 2-2, and won our last game 2-1. So it was an hour and a half drive, 30 minute game, hour and a half wait, 30 minute game, another hour and a half wait, a 30 minute game, a 30 wait, a 30 game, lull time, and then an hour and a half drive home [plus 3 sausages and a game of mini golf] So altogether that's about 9 hours! The first game started at 9, so we had to leave at 7, which is ridiculous. But it was fun, so that's all that matters [plus the fact I've had a shower so I feel better]

You probably don't remember but here it is anyway...

These are recent pictures of Dan City. You can pic out a hotel, a boat course, some houses, and other buildings that you look at and go 'huh?' but I go 'yeah, that took ages'. Fell free to try to guess what they are. In fact, I even have command blocks so you can teleport from home to work instantly!

You have to admit, it's pretty boss.

Another poll!

This came to me while throwing a ball around. I remember on a bus ride a few of my classmates said The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey was crap, while some others kids and I thought it was great. So, what do you think of it? Vote on the right hand side of the screen.

My Artwork

This is my favourite piece of artwork from that Art Week thing I told you about. I painted the background based on the piece 'the football players' from Henri Rousseau. I used a blend of red, green and brown rolled into one dabbed to make the trees. The ground starts light near the front and gets darker brown near the back. In the original piece 'the football players' Henri Rousseau painted on the people, but we took pictures of us in thermals wearing moustaches in cool poses. This is mine because I'm in the front. The others have them in the front. Those are my friends in the background.
[I think you can flip it if you click it but if you can't I'll change this]

Is CHERUB better than Henderson's Boys?

I've got a new poll on which is better, CHERUB or Henderson's Boys [BTW most people thought minecraft was OK] so be sure to vote! [It's on the right hand side of the screen]
P.S: This is my 159th post, which happens to be my football juggling record [you know, with your feet] so that's pretty good for me.

BANNED!

Me and my bro have been BANNED from watching YouTube and doing anything that involves using data! We didn't do anything wrong, it's just this month we've been burning through our Gigabyte's of data, we've used about 80% and we're only halfway through the month! So no multi-player Minecraft [William] either! For a full 10 days! Wish me luck bros...

OK, most of you guessed right, well, yeah, most.

The second most subscribed is smosh with about 12,300,000 subscribers. Pewdiepie has about 12,950,000 subscribers.

Pewdiepie's real name is Felix.

THE TORTURE!!!

I am currently learning how to juggle 5 balls, and let me just say it is not going well. I am struggling with the concept of the "cascade" and I can't get it right. I am watching this video [here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOOhAXUTnvE] and I get the special 3 ball cascade right. I am trying to watch the video but it won't let me!! So I shut it down but it had to install stuff and when I finally turn the computer back on, I get the same problem!!! I want to be able to juggle 5 by the end of the year, so wish me luck!

Art Week!

This week is Art week! So it is basically art all week. Our class artist is Henri Rousseau, he painted jungles and people mostly. We've made several different things, like a jungle landscape for the corridor, and some of his paintings with people. So we paint the background and then we wear the sort of clothes that are in the photo. And finally, we are making our own painting using Henri's style and types of paintings like jungles and stuff to go up on the back wall. I was sick today so I'll be a bit behind the others but I should finish everything. So yeah.

Action Day!!

Every few months or so we have an action day for our Tae-kwon-do. This super master comes from Australia to teach us. We show him what we've learnt and both Dojos come together to practice and stuff. It's pretty cool and I've just learned and perfected my 3rd grade pattern. The action day is in a week so that should be pretty cool. Looking forward to it!

Ummm Ok Current Obsession...

Well if it isn't obvious from my last post, my current obsession is watching Pewdiepie videos on YouTube. I love the fact that he uses things like X-box and PC, and games that I've never heard of, From Horror to Funny to Barbie. He makes lots of funny jokes while he's playing and it's fun to watch his reactions and stuff.  I actually think it is impossible to watch all his videos. He is 23, born October 24th, 1989. He specializes in Let's play videos and he has over 12 million subscribers. In fact, Pewdiepie is the number 1 subscriber and  on YouTube. Each of his videos gets 1,685,714 or more views average. You usually see Pewdiepie doing a bro fist so here is a pic of him doing one.

This is Pewdiepie or Pewds for short. Bro fist him back and subscribe!

 

I should include a non-obvious question.

 

Without searching up the answer, who do you think is the 2nd most subscribed on YouTube?

 

Here is an extra for experts question.

 

What is Pewdiepie's real name?

 

I will post the answers later.

 

P.S:

 

Here is a link to one of his funny montages, hope you enjoy :D

The walking dead!

I have just finished watching a Pewdiepie series, called the walking dead. It has a very emotional ending ): I've decided that I will play it myself. I'm just having a little trouble downloading it but I should be able to get it working soon. Can't wait to make my own decisions instead of watching Pewdiepie make them. The people who made the game are Telltale games. They a variety of different games and I might check some of them out. In the meantime, here is the link to there site, I recommend that you check it out, you might find something you like, or, yeah.

Here it is:

P.S:

If you could not guess, background is angry birds

YEARBOOKS!!!

We are getting ready for the end of the year. Since I am a year 8 I will be going to College next year. So we are making our yearbooks!! I've always wanted to make a yearbook when I am a year 8 because it seems cool that your classmates will have a memo of you and vice-versa. It has photos, and facts, and some funny stuff. It's really cool but I will miss them and my good year 7 friends. But there still just over a term left so that is good. Last year was a big blow because not only did my older year 8 friends leave then, but our local priest and principal left too. But I got over it and now it is my turn. So, yeah, yearbooks and leavers mass but that won't come for awhile so might post about that later.

The Manor House

This is the Manor house our group built. I made the outside while the rest of my group worked on the inside. I got the idea for fence and upside down stairs off a picture on Google. I thought it looked good so I added it. The manor house housed the Lord and his family and servants. I also thought flowers with grass and trapdoors were a nice touch.

 

Do you think there is any other material I could've used?
