Adreanleine forest (EOTC)

Adreanleine forest (EOTC) Trrip Week

Last week I spend my time on a trip that included Spencer park and the Adrenaline forest. There were other trips that sadly I could not go to but the trip in which I did attend was really fun. We had to be at school at 8:00 so my family was in a rush to feed the kids and get to our trip it was going to be a hot day so I wore summer clothes. When I got into class I handed my teacher the permission slip and students scattered to different busses because we had four Kahui in year seven to nine and we all had a different trip on the same day. I remember a bendy bus and a normal modern-day bus but the bus we jumped on was old looking. 

Once everyone was sitting down the bus started moving. I was sat next to Miss. Taylor my homeroom teacher, Jaz one of my classroom friends, and Mr. Mitchell. The bus ride to spencer park was nice we talked joked around most of the time. It was really nice seeing our teachers joke around with us. I noticed a lot of farm animals and trees obviously.

Loved the most

When we finally arrived the bus before we were already getting ready for Adrenaline forest so our group headed down to spencer park I guess it was a first in first served kind of thing. The first thing I did once we entered the park was dropping my bag in the eating area and then ran towards the playground with one of my friends. The first activity I played on was the flying fox. as I zipped on the flying fox all the trees and places around me turned into one green and colorful blur. Next, I ran to the green slide and slid down multiple times in the time-space of a minute I had gone down that slide three times.

The other activity that was at Spencer park that I participated in was...

• Climbing equipment
• Swings 
• Spider web

When I was On the swings with my longest friend we were playing on the swings and as I was swinging I swang to high and I tried jumping off the swing but chickened out so my back hit the seat on the swing and bent me and my friend laugh so hard we turned red. After that, I took a break to drink some of my juice and eat my apple, pringles, and muffin some of the kids forgot their food so I shared mine.

Once done eating I took a nap on the Spider web and went back to the flying fox and slide. After waiting my turn I allowed some younger kind in front of me I felt anxious because I was scared they may hurt themselves. There was this little boy who tried to jump onto the flying fox and started to dangle up as the flying fox started to sip down the hill so I had to grab him and help him back on that felt good. I ended up going to the seat to relax before heading to the slide and I "did not" handed some kids some lollipop almost kind of getting caught.

  

When we finally had the chance to get to the Adrenaline forest I washed my hands and got given some safety advice to make sure we could stay safe. when we got our equipment we got one more talk and we got told to yell out to one of the staff for help I forgot all but one of their names. The name I remembered was Tenton but I will give the rest of the staff random names like Bob and Ross. I started on the trail 3-B.

What Frightened me

I had all confidence and whizzed through most of the task but I started to get scared when one of the obstacles where wobbly. The moment that scared me the most was when I had to unhook my safety hook in the middle of an obstacle and hock it back up then I got stuck but luckily I have harnessed it up again and when I fell I didn't die.

Learned that

As  I was doing these obstacles a friend of mine got stuck and she needed some help so I called for random names because I forgot the helper's names. I had to try my best to remember their names because she and I wanted to carry on. I remembered the staff telling us that we probably won't remember one of their worker's names but will remember their names so I tried my best to remember his name and then it clicked. I yelled out Tenton and then the staff came along and helped.

What Challenged me 

After some time Mr. Mitchell told us we were late and had to get everyone off the bus. So we all had to rush our obstacles I had to go on a zip line and wrecking ball then take off my harness and gloves. I grabbed my bag and waited in the grass area there I met a dog named Wally who was scabbing some kid's lunch. Wally was super Cute and very muddy. When everyone was together again we did a role said thank you to all the helpers and ran off to the bus.

Would like to see next time

If we got to do any other activity for EOTC week I would like to do some trips like go-carting because it is thrilling and fun. Or maybe going outside more somewhere outside. As long as we get to do something adventurous on a hot day I will be up for it. 

I enjoyed my trip because we earned it and it was at a very exploratory place where we could have fun eat talk and climb. I am thankful to the teachers and students. I am thankful the students earned the money to pay for the trips. I am thankful for the teachers who organized the trips because we had a really tough year. But most of all I am thankful to my parents who allowed me to attend that day.

Pictures of trip 😀

 

Melodrama

In drama for the past few week's we have been learning melodrama and what is it kind of style. Melodrama originated from Victorian times. Melodrama is very dramatic you can tell that it is very dramatic by looking at the way the actor uses there characters body language like when they fall down they don't just fall fast. Some fall gracefully like a feater well another fall with a big thump. My favorite fall out of all is the one that look's like your about to die and take your last breath. One other way of Melodrama be dramatically dramatic is the way people gasp or speak they speak loud with a huge open mouth like they are about to sing at the opera. 

The way character is betrayed in Melodrama.

The villains In Melodrama seem to act loud and their inner thought's about there an evil plan become loud thoughts leading them to scream there plan to the audience. The villains are usually played by a male lead what is sexist in my opinion but sometimes Melodrama can be silent so they would you words.

The Hero's  In Melodrama is almost like a prince in a fairytale they are always there to save the day by announcing it which to me is kind of dumb because if I would save someone from a villain I would call they cop's or keep my mouth shut so the villain could not here me. Once again the Hero is portrayed to be savvier who is a man and always delays the women to marry him for saving her.

The Victim In Melodrama is the person who needs saving from the villain and can't help themselves. The role of the Victim almost always goes to the girl. I mean it is great that Women finally get a role in Melodrama but the victim really! Women are perfectly capable of looking after there selfs or Killing a person and they can get away with it. They can save a person's life I mean have you seen a female doctor or cop because I have but this was victorian times I mean even in Victorian time's women are still smart and strong. I guess it was easier for people to not let women shine but instead make them look like hopeless fools. But people are Still making Women look hopeless in Melodrama what is really sad and make me angry I hope the change will come and maybe the woman can be a hero or villain at least make her save herself. At the end of the Melodrama, women have usually married away to the Hero in Melodrama.

How does lighting and color ehance the story?

Atmosphere-feel,energy,around

mood how -you feel emotions

the location -where something's happening

Lighting natural-produced in nature, often sun moon stars, lighting

Artificial-man-made light make feel clean, clinical.

Warm-Yellow makes you feel safe, warm

Cold- White/Blue tone makes, feel clean, clinic

Bright- Fills room makes you feel happy, safe

Dull- Fills part of space only, Often creepy/murky

The color palette-predominate color used in a scene.

Brainstorm color lighting

What happens-

Coroline +her parents are eating breakfast in the real world  they seem dull, depressed, lifeless

Technique-  Lighting-cold 

                    -Natural lighting-from clouds outside the window.

                    -dull

Effects on the viewer-  feels boring ,won't want to be there

boring, dull, lifeless.

Directors purpose -  Set the mood that the real world is boring+empty.

- Gives the other world more opportunity. 

- Looks can be deceiving- it is not actually a bad thing.

Other technech- Costumes-real parents wear dull plane clothes with simpler fabric and patterns 

 

............................................................................................................................................................

Brainstorm

What's happening Crolines is in the Otherworld sitting down in the kitchen weel her other parents watch her.

 Lighting- Man-made by the lightbulb on the ceiling so it gives a bright yellow,warm feeling- How do I know this? it is night time outside and it is bright and warm inside. This gives Coroline and the audience an inviting and curious feel about the other world.

 

Effects on the viewer, happy want to be there joyful, welcoming, joyful

(feel, think)

Directors purpose- Looks can be deceiving

TO BE CONTINUED-with pictures

Linking of angles to impact if angles and movement

Pov-the other mother is dominant-because she looks down on Wybie

medium short- give someone half the background 

the audience feels- powerful and dominant in the other mother's eyes Wybie looks small innocent sad snd venerable.

Directors purpose- To make us feel empathy towards Wybie and makes us question the others mothers intentions-foreshadowing

High angle shot is used with Wybie and the other mouther high angles shot are used effectively for looks can be deceiving. This is demonstrated with a high angle shot using the other mouthers eyes as the perspective she is looking down the front porch at a scared other Wybie. This makes us feel empathy over Wybie makes us feel sorry for Wybie and makes the other mouther powerful. The purpose of this is to make the audience think that the other mother isn't what she seems and that's seen may not be nice at all. Combined with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness, The director has created an atmosphere of cortisone something not right. This reminded the viewer of later science where Coraline is looking up at the other in horror as the other mother throws her into a magical portal in an enclosed room. This showed looks can be deceiving because the other mother isn't as nice as Coraline thought.

In this shot, coralline is looking for her doll

the angle used id the dutch tilt. This makes the views feel like the playing hide and seek but because of the lighting it kind of makes us worried about Coraline and scared

Philippines Inderpendant Day

Philippines Independence day.

Magandang Umaga/Good Morning 

My Name is Tennessee I am a year nine student in New Zealand. This week is an important day for a specific country... the Philippines. In the Philippines, today or tomorrow for them is an Interdependent day. My country celebrates it because there are a whole bunch of different cultures and races in my country so it's important to respect and celebrate their celebrated days and culture.

This week we are learning about the Philipino Lagrange. I find it important to know their language so It shows respect and If you ever travel the world it is important to get to know languages.

This is the Philipino flag

This is a famous philippine song I learned in my 5th year of school. This song is talking about a delicious crab.

Tong,Tong,Tong Pakitong-Kitong
Lyrics.

Tong tong tong tong pakitong-kitong
Alimango sa dagat
Malaki at masarap
Mahirap mahuli
Sapagkat nangangagat

Tang tang tang tang pakatang-katang
Alamanga sa dagat
Malaka at masarap
Maharap mahala
Sapagkat nangangagat

Teng teng teng teng peketeng-keteng
Elemenge se deget
Meleke et meserep
Meherep mehele
Sepegket nengengeget

Ting ting ting ting pikiting-kiting
Ilimingi si digit
Miliki it misirip
Mihirip mihili
Sipigkit ningingigit

Tong tong tong tong pokotong-kotong
Olomongo so dogot
Moloko ot mosorop
Mohorop moholo
Sopogkot nongongogot

Tung tung tung tung pukutung-kutung
Ulumungu su dugut
Muluku ut musurup
Muhurup muhulu
Supugkut nungungugut

Tong tong tong tong pakitong-kitong
Alimango sa dagat
Malaki at masarap
Mahirap mahuli

Sapagkat nangangagat

In 1896 the Philippine revolutionary began. By 1897 the revolutionary and the Spanish government signed a truce. The pack of Biak-na-Bato needed the Spanish pay the revolutionary $MXN8000,0000 and that the Aguinaldo and the rest of the leaders to go under exile In Hong Kong, April 1998 at the outbreak of the Spanish and American war. Committee Gorge Dewey set sail on the U.S.S Olympia sailed into Manila bay They led the Asiatic Squadron Of the navy. May 1st, 1898 United States defeated the Spanish  In the battle Of Manila bay, The decision of Emilio Agauninaldo decided to return to The Philippines so he can help the American forces defeat the Spaniards. The U.S came upon an agreement that he can transport him back aboard the USS McCulloch. May 19th he arrived at his home of Cavite.

 

Independents day was proclaimed on June 12 1898 Between four to five in the afternoon to Cavite the astral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo 30 kilometers south of Manila. The event was the rolling out of the Philippine flag. Made in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncilio, Lorenza Agoncilio, and Delfina Herbosa. There was also a performance by Marcha Filipina Magdalo as the national anthem that was made by Julian Felipe and was played by a marching band.

 

The act of the declaration was written by Ambrosio Rianzrares Bautista in Spanish this piece of paper was signed by 98 people alongside them in the US army who were witnesses to this event.  The final paragraph states that there was a stranger/foreigner who attended the proceedings. His name was Mr. Johnson who attended most of the proceedings and despite his military background, he had no reason or role to be in the Philippines. 

 

The Philippine flag can come across different meanings depending on the way the flag is angled. The blue stripe on the philippine flag symbolizes justice and patriotism, red means valor and blood split for freedom and independence. The three stars represent the three main areas in the Philippines and the big star says independence and the eight rays on the star mean the eight provinces that led the Philippines uprising from the Spanish.

 

The Philippines normally on their Independence day do what most people do on a National Holiday. They can celebrate by celebrating festivals or cooking a giant feast with their national foods. They can eat chicken marinated with soy sauce and vinegar and all types of seasonings or cook a whole pig with rice. If they would like they can have chicken soup with leaves and vegetables.
