My Art

 Walt: Create art that represents yourself

Task Description

Hi, my name is Caleb, and welcome to my blog. For extension this term, we had to create an artwork that was special to us and represented something in Aotearoa. For the animal, I chose a seagull as that is our native beach bird. For the Beach/Grass Area, I based it off Saint Heliers Beach, as that is my favourite beach in Auckland. And finally for the mountains, I based them off the beautiful coastlines of our beaches.

Extension Term 1 2020 Research

Walt: Use our knowledge to complete tasks at hand



Task Description
Hi, my name is Caleb, and welcome to my blog. Before we went into Lockdown, we had our Extension research for Term 1, which obviously we couldn't complete. Since today is the first day back at Extension, I decided to finally get to post this. Until next time, see ya!

2019 Extension Highlights

This year, we have been doing a lot for extension. I have had a really fun year, and in this post, I will share some of my Highlights for the year.

Term 1: This term, we went to KPMG, which is a company which I loved. They were really kind, and I felt that they actually cared about us. We also did work on the treaty of waitangi, and we even did our own game design.

Term 2: This term, we did lots of work on robotics and devices. One day, we even got to code robots, and play Minecraft! We also went to KPMG, which I still think was the most active time.

Term 3: This term, we also went to KPMG, where I think I learnt the most. We also made our Film Festival movie.

Term 4: We of course went to KPMG. We also did work on UV lights, and we even made our own ones.

Those have been my highlights for this year. I hope you found this informative, and until next time, see ya!

KPMG Term 3

Today, the extension team, and a few others, went to KPMG. While we were there, we learnt about the ocean, and about pollution, and what it does. We also did an activity where we had to create a robot to help our gods. My groups god was the God of War, and the God of Mankind. Overall, I think that KPMG was really cool.

Bincurity Design Project

Walt: Create usable items for Bincurity



Task Description
Hi, my name is Caleb, and welcome to my blog. This is my extension post for this term, and it was so fun. In the future, I would like to do more activities like.

Orienteering

Today, the Extension group did Orienteering. Orienteering is like using a compass to get to different places. While we were at Extension, Mr Jacobsen came in and talked to us and taught us how to use a compass properly, then we all went outside to get ready for Orienteering.

When we got outside, we went onto the field, and waited for Mr Jacobsen to snd us to our right mark. I first went to room 28. I then went around to the different marks, while I was doing my seventh one, I realised I did a mistake, so I had to retrace my steps. I kept on tracking down the different marks for about more 10 minutes, until Mr J called us in. After he called us in, we took some photos, and came back to where I am right now.

Overall, I think that Orienteering is a really fun sport, and I would like to do it more. I would also love to use compasses more. I hope you enjoyed this, and until next time, see ya!

Students Research Term 1 2019

In this task, me, Toby and Zaeeda do research on technology. This is my first extension post for 2019, and it took me almost a whole term to post. I am proud of what I did, and I am excited for what I will do in the future.

My favourite games

This is a blogpost about games.

My favourite games (digital and non-digital) are:

• Battlefront 1-2
• Destiny 1-2
• Fortnite
• Cool maths games
• Injustice 2
• Maths Whizz
  

The reason/s why I enjoy playing these games are:

• They are super fun and you can play most of them with real people
• There is always something to do
• You can make new friends in them
• You can get rewards which you can use in game
• Every time you play them, there will be something different every time

Learning could be made much more fun and interesting if it included these elements of a game:

• Games where you don’t rage on and are always fun
• A offline and online server
• You get things in the game that you could use in that game, or in your class
• It will never get boring

Task Description
In this task, me and my group, Maanus and Toby, complete the task above. It took a lot of thinking and partnership to do this task. This task is about the differences and similarities between the pt England way and the treaty of waitangi.
