My favourite things are playing on the tv and drawing, both of these are my main passions, especially art. I would love to be able to take architecture in the future so that I can draw while earning money. The game I'm currently working on right now is Genshin Impact, you might’ve heard of this game before since it is getting really popular now. I’ve been playing it for a couple of months now and it’s really fun to play in co-op. We usually play it around the weekends. For art I usually draw anime because I like the artstyle and the details of it.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Marshmallow Tower
In today's task we had to try to build a tower using skewers and marshmallows, unfortunately ours fell on the last second.
Two IP skills I used were verbal communication and inclusiveness, this helped us build it because we communicated and all decided on what to work on. All of us weren't left out and we all helped to build the tower, we talked about how to make it better and more sturdy! A couple warm fuzzies I used were GG (good game), Nice!, and nice thinking.
Using our IP skills helped us build the tower because we discussed on how to start the tower off by using our verbal communication. This helped us with the activity because whenever we needed to repair something we would just tell each other to do so!
Today I worked with Leo and Kristille, I don't usually work with Leo but it turned out to be a fun experience with working with both of them. Surprisingly all of us seemed to work nicely, no one was bringing each other down or anything like that!
If I could redo the activity I would change the way we started the base off, I think it needed to be a little more sturdy so that it wouldn't fall. We definitely needed to work on sturdiness.
I think I achieved my goal on working on level 3 of Helisons behaviour model by, working without supervision, me and my team were able to learn new skills. We made our own decisions during this activity so I think we succeeded in L3.

Students should have more mufti days.- DO NOW WEEK 3
Topic : Students should have more mufti days.
In my opinion I do think students should have more mufti.
The reasoning behind my opinion is that I think we should have more mufti days because of all the benefits. Some parts of mufti days also benefits the school, this is because on mufti days sometimes we have to give a dollar. It helps the school by donating a few coins while the students have fun in their outfits. Mufti day is a chance to express your inner self, and be able to wear what you want! Another reason is that sometimes school uniforms get dirty and it would be nice to change every now and then. I think that students have fun in mufti because they're comfortable in the clothes they've chosen to wear. Although school uniform is important, I would want to be able to wear something I like now and then.
Don't you ever just want to go to your school and wear the clothes you prefer to wear? While playing outside i'm sure your school uniform gets a bit dirty and want to change. Don't you want to express yourself in style? If so, then i'm sure that you agree we should have more mufti!
My ending opinion is that we should definitely have more mufti days as you've seen from the reasoning above this text.
