Hey,

Our second inquiry for this term is how has music changed the world? Mr. Wegner showed us a web site designed to show us how each instrument takes part in music, which is the most important and which keeps the beat. This site had four different band members on the screen each playing a different instrument, during the song you can change the persons instrument and the way they play. Each person had four different instruments, that adds up too 64 different combinations.

Here is the site URL feel free to explore: http://www.coldwarkids.com/

Later on we used a program on the Internet named the Visual Ranking Tool to rank the instruments in importance. I found this lesson interactive and extremely fun.

Hey,

The 5 keys to success are persistence, confidence, organisation, resilience and getting along. These keys have made it that much easier for me to get through the school year. I personally think that organisation is the most important key because I do a lot of extra jobs around the school such as SRC and being part of the graduation commitee helps me get every thing complete on time. I got to say it really helps to have a little confidence by your side when you stick your hand up to volunteer to do some extra work or even when you need to read out your presentation.

I couldn’t have gotten through the school year without these handy keys. Later Pavlo

hey,

Here is a speech about the foods I enjoy eating. Here is my speech:

Ich esse sehr gern aber ich esse zu viel. Meine leiblingsessen sind lasagna und schnitzel. Shokolade schmeckt kostlich aber ist zu ungesund. Zu Hause essen wir viele fisch aber wir nicht oft essee gemuse. Ich liebe indianishes und japanisches Essen. Ich leibe auch prawn crackes.

I hope you know a little bit more about me. Later Pavlo

hey,

I feel I should be chosen to be a part of the year 7 graduation committee to help come up with great ideas to make it the best we can. I will co-operate with my group by listening to their opinions about the graduation, I will support these ideas and help organise them as well! I will be very organised by being on time for meetings, being updated with the latest information just to make the graduation all that much better! I hope to contribute every one’s ideas from all students participating in the graduation! I will try to reach students and their ideas in different ways like blog polls, SRC meetings or possibly at UP assembly. I have been SRC two times in a row proving that I have great leadership skills, please vote for your me, Pavlo!!!

If you have any ideas or things you would like to share about the graduation feel free to comment! Later Pavlo

Hey,

Today I’m going to show you the most impressive videos I’ve ever seen from Youtube by from a group named “dude Perfect“. This group of college students must have nothing else to do since all they does is practice his basketball shots. And me being a basketball player thought this was to good to be true.

Hey,

The last couple of weeks our class have been working on a new writing task, this one involves us inventing our own sport and writing an explanation text. Mr. Wegner had showed us two videos on two different sports that we would not of heard of before one about Artistic cycling and Ultimate frisbee. Here is the text I wrote on my new sport, Skate Ball:

Skate Ball

Description

This sport involves a mix of Basketball, Netball, Rugby Union and Skating. This is played with a regular basketball on an unusual court. This sport will take extreme to a whole new level as players fight for the ball in this full on game.

Court

This court is one never before seen as this spectacular sport is played under the surface and above. Within the “bowl” being under the surface this allows players to use their skate boards to skate up the walls and be free to pass. If a player has the ball while skating up the “bowl” the player must pass before skating back down. In the middle of the court is a free zone where ALL of the frees are taken. The court is the double the size of a basketball court but above it runs 5 metres out before reaching the end zone.

End Zone

Before the end zone is an area which a player from each team will guard from the opposing team. Because the end zone is above the surface this makes it harder for a player to dribble up the side of the bowl and score 3 points using the end zone. Therefore there is a ramp behind the basketball hoop which makes it possible to ride up while dribbling the ball.

Players and Requirements

The players must be armed in protection pads and have the latest caster board the rip stick air. This game requires a basketball and 2 teams of 5 players.

Starting the Game

The ball is thrown down into the “bowl” by the reff like a football throw in and players then continue the game.

Skills

The skills needed to play this full on sport are extreme balance which is used in the ridding of the rip stick, dribbling and shooting skills as used in a basketball game. Players need to be tough, confident and resilient about the game. All of these skills are used in skate ball once mastered you could be a player in no time.

Scoring

The way you play this game makes it an interesting way to score points for your team. At each end of the court is an end zone once the try is scored inside the end zone the player’s team will receive 3 points. The original basketball shot is only worth 2 points but every shot scored your team will receive a player that had been eliminated by falling off their skateboard (rip stick).

Game Length and Substitutions

This Sport is played with 4 quarters running for 15 minutes each along with 5 minute breaks in-between. The last 3 minutes of the last quarter is stopped between each fowl, elimination, ect. Substitutions can only be made between quarters or if a player is sent off because of injury, no substitutions can be made with an eliminated player.

Frees and Fowls

All frees are taken at the free zone in the middle of the court were the players than continue with their game. Once a player has reached 5 fowls they are sent off for the rest of the game, no substitutions can be made for a fouled off player. Once the TEAM has reached its full limit of 8 fowls the team is then disqualified. Team fowls are restarted every quarter unlike the single fowls which run for the whole game. All rules made in this game involving the basketball side of things stays with the basketball regulations as in the fowls called and frees given.

 Elimination

Elimination is what gives this game the twist. If a player falls off their rip stick they get sent off due to elimination. If the player had fallen off due to a fowl or if the player fell off after the whistle has been blown the player is not sent off.  Only 3 players from each side can be eliminated at once and if the current playing players fall off, instead of getting sent off due to elimination rules they receive a fowl.

Hey,

I have to recommend the Asterix series its one of the best comic books based around the year of 50 bc. This book is written AND illustrated by Albert Uderzo, the book is comedy as comic books usually are but jee you can’t get any better than the Asterix series. The main character Asterix and his friend Obelix live in Gaulish village along with Vitalstatistix the chief, Getafix the magician, Dogmatix Oblix’ s dog and many more unusual villagers. What makes these villigers so cool is their super human strength they receive once they have drunk the magic potion brewed by Getafix,  which keeps thier villige out of trouble from the Romans. I like this book because of the exciting adventures these characters take on as well as the comedy involved!
