Te Mata Peak

Welcome to my blog post. I chose to do this topic because like I said in my video it was the best walk up the peak I have ever done. I stayed at Kyra's house that night and in the morning we went up there. We started from the bottom car park and went all the way up the top and back down again.  Up the top we saw some lambs and one got angry at Liam (Kyra's brother.)I decided to make a video as well to make it even better. I hope you enjoy and can comment.

Jamie Curry

Introduction

Jamie Curry is a famous New Zealand comedic Actress and a creative video maker. On Youtube she has a channel called Jamie’s World with over 10,229,490 subscribes. She is a self- deprecating teenager from Taradale, Hawkes bay. This teenager is not afraid to make a fool of herself in front of tens and thousands of people. Her fanbase is massive in New Zealand, Australia and Italy. All of her videos go viral all over the world.

Her life

In her early life she attended school at Sacred Heart College in Napier. Her favourite subject is design and she also played soccer for Marist. It seems like her life is the internet because she spends too much time on the computer, instead of doing her homework. So her mum turns the internet off if she isn’t maintaining a good balance. All of her friends and sister have inspired her to aim to become an actress in the USA. Jamie lives with her mum Bronwyn, dad Lance and sister Tayla up in the hills of Taradale. You would not believe this but she is an author too!  Jamie wrote a book called They let me write a book. It has not come out in New Zealand yet, but is already a bestseller on Amazon.com.   

Youtube fame

As she spends so much time on the internet she is normally on either Youtube, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.  Her Facebook page would get over 7 million subscribers a week. Jamie said “I didn’t expect that many likes.” All of her videos that she posts are mainly of her in wacky clothes making jokes about herself and that's what people like about her. It takes her at least 20 minutes to make a video.  In 2011  Jamie started her facebook page. She has at least 10,229,490 likes on Facebook at the moment.  Most of the time she struggles to keep up with 11,000 lots of fan mail. Every night for at least 2 hours she checks them and replies. Most of the time she doesn’t know how to post videos on the web because she is not very technologically capable.  

Other Successes

Jamie Curry has a lot of brilliant successes.  She participated in a video with singer Massad; the music video was to one of his song’s Girl Next Door.  Miss Jamie Curry was a New Zealand of the year finalist.  Along with that, she presented an award at the New Zealand awards.  Often she collaborates with singer Jamie McDell and boy band M.A.D.  

Conclusion

In the future she wants to be a producer or actress.  Jamie has her heart set on a career in Hollywood as a serious actress.  She is an excellent and successful comedic actress.

This is my script for my writing

The setting for the script

Jamie is playing outside in the afternoon it is a sunny day and wants some time alone. Her dog has come outside with her. He was wandering around the place and goes to the toilet while Jamie was trying to do a handstand.

Jamie:  “How nice! Some time alone outside on a beautiful summer’s day.  Clear sky, no rain, everyone is happy! I love goofing around the place.”

           Dogs wanders into the garden

Jamie: “Hello sweetie, how are you today? You're so cute boy. Oh yes you are. Oh yes you are!”

          

Jamie: “Do you want to play fetch? 1,2,3. Fetch it boy, go and get it. Get it boy!”

         Dog runs but does not get it

Jamie: “Ugh you make me get it too much.”

           Stomps over to retrieve the dog toy

Jamie: “See I picked it up. It won't hurt you.”

           Swings it in the dogs face then walks back a few meters.

Jamie: “Ew yuck! w\What is that squishy feeling on the bottom of my foot?”

          Lifts foot up

Jamie: “Gross! Dog poop! I hate that.  It is disgusting! I want this stuff of my foot NOW!”

Jamie:(blocks nose) “Yuck, it stinks!”

           Walks over to a piece of wood to scrape the poo off

Dog: (Barks)

Jamie: “THAT'S NOT FUNNY!”

Jamie:  “Well that did not work. I will try the hose.”

            Walks over to the hose and turns it on .

Jamie:  “Well I managed to get some of the poo off. now you can't talk dog.  Oh yeah thats right. You are a dog so you cant dog. I totally knew that.”

         She didn’t really

Jamie: “I am nearly done with washing it off, I will just turn the tap off.”

             She thought she turned the tap off but she didn’t and puts the tap up by her face.

Jamie: “Ahh”

Jamie: “Turn the tap off. Somebody help me! I am getting wet! Help!”

            Running around the back yard getting soaked while dog is cloning its teeth to the hose

Jamie:  “Sweetie that is not helping at all”

             Sister walks in laughing

           

           

                                                             

Maths graphs and statements

This is my first maths blog post I have done for my term 3 blog posts.  This maths task I have done at extension maths with Miss Hill and some other kids.  I have learnt so many things to do with maths throughout the week.  I learnt how to do statements and some other graphs I have never seen before.  I found the first one quite hard but when I had finished that the second one was quite easy.  Have a look at my work below and please comment.

This is my first graph it is about the ANZ netball champs

WALT use graphs and statements

This week at maths we were doing a task about either netball or Rugby.  I choose netball because there are 2 teams and it would be a bit easier to do. We had to collected the data from the sheet and write in down on the big bit of paper.  After that we had to add up the totals from both countries then we could do our graph.  I choose to do a bar graph. My graph had a title and key and on the key was what colours are representing each country and the squiggly line at the bottom.  The line means that each gap is different in between.  The numbers go up in tens but not in the squiggly line.  After completing the graph we had to do the statements. On a bit of paper there were questions that we had to find out.  Kyra and I got all of them but we could not do two because they were a bit hard.  I found the task challenging but fun.

This is my second one about the Rugby

This week we have been learning about graphs and statements.  The other day I done one about netball and the totals. But this week I done it about Rugby and the wins, loses and draws.  I found it a bit easier this week because I had a picture in my head of what we were meant to do.  The hardest bit for me was the statements.  There were a few I could do but some I could not do. At extension maths we have been having little workshops about statements, how to draw a graph, the title and the percentages.   

Art Dance

I chose to blog this because I love this piece of art and I think Maia, Kiana and I made it to our personal best. We accessorized it to the next step by using material and things Maia used in her dream bedroom design. Hopefully you like it and can comment :)

On the first day of term 3 I made this piece of art with Maia and Kiana.  We had to pick a theme out of Visual art, Drama, Dance or Musician.  We decided to pick Dance and the dance theme was Ballet. We choose it because it was graceful and pretty.  Maia, Kiana and I thought of having a violet border and for the background blue.  In Maia’s dream bedroom design she spatter painted on the chair so we thought that would be a cool idea for the background.  The centerpiece is a tutu, ballerina shoes and a headband. They are all 3D looking.  The tutu is this fine material made into a tutu shape with strips of other material on top. There is also a bow on it. Next to it was a little cute headband made with the same material plus a little flower.  The ballerina shoes were very cute. They were also made with the same materials as the tutu. The top material is used as the lace bit on the shoe.  The material is a popular hot pink piece on our art.   

Camp moment in time

Caving

I was squeezing through a small dark cave surrounded by giant rocks.  Commando crawling through small gaps too. Strong gusts of winds were blowing hard against us.  I could feel the cool air run down my veins.  A drip ran down my neck. I could hear the noise of enjoyment from my class all around me.  Above me I saw a giant weta hanging from 6 legs super still.  The feeling of my feet sinking into puddles of stinky slushy mud.  I could see bat poo scattered around me in the middle of the last cave.  

Maths

This week for maths Miss Hill was at camp so we had to do an activity.  There were 3 groups and each day they were in different groups.  Each day the had to bike between 24.75km and 32.5km it was really hard.  We had to…

• Plan our travels
• Show your different pathways
• Show our working for- Work out our totally travels (Distance) and how many hours you spend biking if we can bike at one kilometer every 6 and ¼ minutes.

I was working with two great buddies Kyra and Georgia
