Week 3 Reflection

This week in English we learned to summarize in our writing, we started with trying to find the main points in nursery rhymes and what didn't need to be in the summarize, like Humpty Dumpty originated from a cannon falling off a wall but the main points in the nursery rhyme are that an egg fell off the wall. In PE we learned 2 Maori games, Ki O Rahi and Horohopu, I only learned the Ki O Rahi because I was away but Ki O Rahi is a complex ripper rugby where you score points by hitting the middle drum or touching 7 posts with a ball.

Lacrosse and Kabaddi

This week the class combined with English and PE. In PE learned two new games for us to play, we learned Lacrosse and Kabaddi. Lacrosse is like hockey but the ball is normally in a lacrosse stick that originated in France. The Lacrosse stick is a short pole with a net on the end to hold the ball. There are two teams on either side and they're both trying to score against each other.

Kabaddi is like rugby without the ball or bullrush tag, the aim of the game is to either get more points than the opposing team or by successfully eliminate the opposing team. I enjoyed this week because both games were fun. I learned that passing the ball was quite difficult but I dealt with it by not passing it. 
In English, we learned about subordinate junctions, subordinate clauses, and the CRAP (Credibility, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose) for website information to see if it's correct.

                                          

                                          

Palin ENG-PE

This week for ENG and PE we studied a sport from another culture, the sport we studied was Palin. Palin originated in Chile and is like hockey, the players of the game don't use hockey sticks they use drift wood from the beach and heat dry them so they can form and stretch the stick. The field they play on is 200m by 12m and the ball is firm. I enjoyed leaning another sport from a different country but the challenge I experienced  was trying to find a good curved stick to hit the ball but I ended u finding an alright stick that got my team a point.

Problem Solving With Python #1

INTRO

Over the last couple of weeks I have been learning the basics of  Python and by learning the rules of it. I have been learning about the codes and how they need to be perfectly set out, (if you missed out one letter or you haven't put a capital letter you code/game wouldn't work). When I'm Writing out the code I cheek several times just to see if the code is right.

# When you put a hashtag in your game template it turns into a note which the game software doesn't turn into a code so if you want to label things just put a hashtag and write next to it (it should turn red).

SETTING UP THE GAME

The first thing that you have to do at the start of every template/game you make you have to import the player and the scene otherwise there would be nothing and your game wouldn't work.

#Import Game/Player
Code: import pygame
      import player 
The next part is the template layout (the Width, Height and the FPS)

#Setting up the window
Code: WIDTH =360
      HEIGHT = 460
      FPS = 30
The following step is defining colors (I'll show you the basic colors) and setting up the page with the colors that you put in, (you can do it two ways but I'll show you the easiest way)

#Defining colors and screen
Code: WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
      BLACK = (0, 0, 0)
      Red = (255, 0, 0)
      Green = (0, 255, 0)
      Blue = (0, 0, 255)
      pygame.init()
      pygame.mixer.init()
      screen = pygame.display.set_mode (WIDTH, HEIGHT)
      pygame.display.set_caption ("My Game")
      clock = pygame.time.Clock()


GAME LOOP

In the loop sections there are 4 main parts of it, The

PROBLEM SOLVING

I managed to write the code down by following the video and  Ms Chowfin explained the reason

Time Management And Working Independently

For unit 1 I think I am showing the following time management skill level Extended abstract.

I have chosen this because I have worked independently and to my full potential for the work that has been given. I finished all work that has such as, creating a form, a social inquiry slide and an Anne Frank poster. I managed this survey on my own and recorded results. Link

I have evidence for choosing this level from class when I’m completing or editing work that has to be changed and staying on task.

For unit 1 I think I am showing the following working independently skill level Extended abstract.

I have chosen this because I get on my work by myself and I don’t have to be reminded to work on the task. I can adjust to whatever changes in the classroom because I work well with everyone.

I have evidence for choosing this level from class when I’m working independently and working without any distractions to the class. I also world reflect on my work for what I can improve on next.

Form Results:

Reuben Taylor has lived in New Zealand for 14 years. His family has lived in Taylorville, West Coast New Zealand for his entire life, his Mum and Dad have lived in New Zealand their entire lives as well.They moved to the south island about 30 years ago. When I asked him about the images his answers were interesting because he chose the shoes say that “everyone needs to have empathy”.I also asked Reuben about the 3 Videos and 4 movie trailers. He enjoyed the The Invictus movie Trailer and the Dave Dobbyn - Welcome Home (Official Music Video).

This photo about diversity that I related to the most. It means that you should have a jump into someone else's shoes which means the persons prospective.

Solo Taxonomy

Solo Taxonomy

In English we learnt about solo taxonomy and they are the four levels of learning.

Here I've used the cake technique for an example.
