My Thoughts of EOTC Week

What I enjoyed the most while in EOTC Week was mostly at Thursday, At Adrenaline Forest and Spencer Park, I find it challenging and fun at the same times making through the tree obstacle also overcoming my fear of heights, It also helped me to show some efforts and commitment to make it through, I also liked going to the Spencer Park as we get to see some multiple locations of where stuff are held at like the Basketball and Football Fields/Area and in the end we all enjoyed it and had fun,

What I liked at the Omaka Scout Camp, The things I mostly liked in Omaka Scout Camp was the fun and water based Activities, Either it be going to the river or lake, I also liked Archery and learnt some tips to help me aim and where to find my eye that is dominant so that I can have a better sight of aiming my Recurve bow. Lastly I mostly enjoyed just swimming in the lake and the river as it was rare opportunity that was fun to enjoy. I also learned something about myself that I didn't know I could do or something I never thought I would make it and also learnt to work with other people like doing the activities to people I may or may not have worked with so that I was prepared if I was working with other strangers when I am older.

Passion Projects

Today my group decided to do Sports for Fundraising for our Passion Projects and what we decided to do was to do a basketball tournament and we are having people donate stuff to us by participating the basketball tournament. From my understanding from our current situation I think we are donating it to our community/ charity

here is what me and my group's SWOT Analysis looks like for now 

  • Basketball tournament donates a can of food and gives the can of food to charity.   
  • Basketball tournament donates clothes that are to big or small for you.
  • Basketball tournament donates money to play the tournament.
  • Do a sprint to donate stuff to your favorite charity.

S.W.O.T. Analysis


Strengths

  • We are donating to the homeless
  • We are doing sports we enjoy
  • Playing along with the community
  • People will get healthy
Weaknesses

  • Easily distracted - Try not to get distracted and commit to our work

  • We don’t do much work  - Do more work

  • We leave work at the last minute -Try to commit to our work and finish it
Opportunities

  • Building the confidence
  • To make a difference
  • Connect with different people
  • Practice your favorite sports
  • Have fun
Threats

  • Dangerous People - Ask a teacher to supervise us

  • Stray dogs - Run or

  • Bad weathers - Check the Weather

  • No equipment - Tell someone to bring the equipment

  • No money- We don't need money.

Fire
Flaming heat burning everything that is close to it slowly

EOTC WEEK Year 8 : Write it

Write about a time when you were challenged to do something ?

It was about the time when I tried football for the first time when I was a year 7, I tried football for the first time I think it was in winter sports and I picked I sport I am interested to play. At Friday it was time to do sports so my team lined up and went to our designated spot and warmed up for our upcoming game we were versing, So we finished warming and started to versus our opposing team [I forgot which school were they] about the first part of the game we were doing pretty well until most of my team were very exhausted as we did our best to score a goal, eventually we finished the game we won but we also were being humble to the other team who lose the game . After playing with the other team, they went home and we said our goodbyes to them, and from that moment it felt rewarding to me to be able to beat a different school and I also learnt how to be humble and respect the opposite team and I also learnt what good sportsmanship is

NZ Rugby
The one who brought rugby to New Zealand was Charles Monro as at that time he was in London, because he was interested in it and went back to home and told near by people about it, then later on he said to a group of football club called ''Nelson Football Club'' They tried it out and it went smoothly so they continued to share it around until many people heard about it and started trying it our and the first match was held in New Zealand [I think it was Dunedin]

Maths DLO = Fractions

What is a fraction = its a type of maths equation that includes numerator and denominator
Like for example ½ = half of something


What Percentage is = you can find this in tests about overall your score like 50 out 0f 100 is 50%


What is a decimal = it's the number that you can get sometimes when calculating like 0.4


Examples


1. 3 ½ = 3.5 + 50 percent of 140% = 70 + 3.5 = 73.50/5


2. 4 ¼ = 4.25/2.5 + 75 of 150% = 50 + 4.25 = 54.25

3. 6 ½ = 6.5/50 + 20 of 100 % = 20 + 6.5 = 26.50

Maths DLO : Angles

In last week’s maths work what we did was mostly about angles and how to solve them


  1. To start of first you need or required at least three corner / sides two bottoms and one top basically a triangle


2.  Had at least two number digits it has to be able to plus up to 180 like for example. 50 plus 50 and 80

Examples

  1. 20 + 90 + 70 = 180


2. 56 + 44 + 80 = 180

3. 93 + 45 + 42 = 180

My DLO on Maths ; in this week's math [last week] we learnt a new strategy about how to solve answer by using
place value

So first part split the number in place values for example like 18 and 5


Second part slowly start to multiply them starting the number you can easily answer for me 10’s 8x5 = 40 and 10x5 = 50 = 90


So here are the following questions I’ll try to solve

  1. 50x10 = 25x5 = 125 and 25x5 = 125 = 250
  2. 19x8 = 10x8 = 80 9x8 = 72 = 152
  3. 12x7 =  10x7 = 70 = 2x7 = 14 = 84

Reading task : Term 2

Learn: Who/what Invented flight
It started in 1452 when Leonardo da Vinci invented a paper plane until then the planes started to evolve every now and then now were we in the modern generation have more advanced aircraft like the helicopters [and there are some people in the world that are inventing unmanned-aircraft]

Flight : Aerodynamics

Aim:  To look at the 4 main forces of flying and how these can be overcome

Hypothesis : I think

Method : Working in pairs you are going  to make a paper wing and experiment with it


Plane type
How does it behave?
Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop

It slowly to the direction where the wind is stronger
1 sec [about]
Paper with fold down middle, drop
First part it may go slowly but then since the wind is strong the wind kinda made go to many directions
2 sec [about]
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop

because the other side was heavier that side will most likely go down further
 1 [about]
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop

it goes down much more further cause of the stuff on it
1 [about] 
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw

It did the same thing but just went down a little bit plus the stuff on it or in it is making it heavier/ 1 sec

Findings : Sometimes the wind is just too strong that it adds more pressure behind more a little bit 
mostly some of the stuff it is probably the wind

=

Conclusion : Paper with fold middle plus drop fell longer and the last one had more foldings to it which makes it heavier
