    Hello, again! No introductions needed.
  -Andrei Montellano

  This week in our P.E. Hurumanu we have...

• (Why) played two fun activities
• (Where) in the old school gym
• (What) and to learn about teamwork.

S - Statement

E - Explanation

E - Example

    Statement

   Our first activity was Kick Long Ball . For this activity, I rated myself as a Level 3.

    Explanation 

    To achieve at Level 4, we have to show that we can consistently show that we do a great job when we listen carefully.

    Example

   During the first game of Kick Long Ball, I showed that I am working at Level 3 by doing as told and learning when I didn't get it. These examples show that I have met the standards for Level 3.

    Statement

   Our second activity was  Benchball. For this activity, I rated myself as a Level 4.

    Explanation 

   To achieve at Level 4, we have to show that we can consistently show that we work together well as a team.

    Example

   During the second game of Bench Ball, I showed that I am working at Level 4, by doing the game as its made and cooperating with my teammates. These examples show that I have met the standards for Level 4.

    Next week, I am aiming to work at Level 4. To make sure that I am working on that level, I am going to work on my physical strength and speed and endurance.

Song Blog

     
     Hello again! Please enjoy. I need no further explanation (sorry).
  - Andrei Montellano


      The task requirements:
        The task requirements we were given were to make a song, a good one, add music (if optional), and to make a blog post about it, which is what you're reading right now.

      The lyrics:
    (Verse 1)

  An unknown Foundation

  Saving you from trouble

  Those things are inhuman

  And they’re our only hope

  Many foes they face

  Although they still stand

  The tests they do and run

  Is a cost at hand

(D-9341)

  I wake up

  I can’t remember anything

  A cell and a piece of paper comes to sight

  I don’t know what happened

  This place is a mystery to unravel

 Two guards appear at the door

 “Knock, knock! Come on, you bore!”

 This place is eerily formidable

 The moment I woke up,

 I wondered…

 What lies ahead?

(Chorus)

  Knock, knock! Open up the door!

  Something’s going on inside!

  Someone or something’s hiding in this place…

  We have to find it fast!

  That thing will kill us all!

  We say that you open up,

  Because the Foundation is here!

(Ulgrin)

  Just another day at the office

  Another fool to escort

  Prisoners of war, condemned to death

  Test subjects in our language

  I know, this job sucks, actually

  It pays, but still though, hey

  Sending lives to death

  For scientific gains

  It’s just as scary as the Grim Reaper

  And like a fantasy

  Am I just dreaming?

  Have I long died?

  I won’t know.

(D-9341)

  This place is just as terrifying

  As anything I’ve ever seen

  The anomalies takes the cake

  When it comes to terror

  Literally obscure

  This stuff is worse than Dead Space

  It’s just as terrifying

  When I die, I come back

  So, is any of this real?

  Or just a game?

(Bridge)

  A facility-wide breach,

  Took so many lives,

  Nobody is spared, either turned

  Or killed

(D-9341)

  It buys me time

  To get out of this place

  Will I be free…

  Or taken again?

(Chorus)

  Knock, knock! Open up the door!

  Something’s going on inside!

  Someone or something’s hiding in this place…

  We have to find it fast!

  That thing will kill us all!

  We say that you open up,

  Because the Foundation is here!

  The SCP Foundation

  Thanks you

  For your cooperation... 

Song Inspiration:

I was inspired by a video game, so I made this song. I based it off the horror game SCP - Containment Breach created on 2012. The game is based of a fictional company called the SCP Foundation. They specialise in protecting humanity from the unknown and dangerous, also called SCPs. The characters, D-9341, the player, and Agent Ulgrin, the agent who escorts you in the beginning, I added because I thought some character involvement would be good for the song. Some of their lines even included Fourth Wall Breaks.

Metaphors and Similes:

I only used a small amount of both in making the song. I even revised the original copy because I didn't think it was good enough, even though I finished. The metaphor, "takes the cake" stands out from the whole thing. And a "mystery to unravel" is pretty much self-explanatory.

The similes are:

"...as scary as the Grim Reaper." means very terrifying.

and "just as horrifying as Dead Space" is completely traumatising to be in a similar situation.

Difficulty:

It wasn't as hard as I thought it was, considering I finished it in a whole 1 hour class, so it wasn't hard. But it did stoke me a little bit on editing the finished version.

That was my blog post about how I created the song. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a good day!

Blog for Making Book Connections

     Making Connections

        Making connections is when we make links

        between what we already know (our prior knowledge) and

              the text.

      These are the three kinds of connections we can make:

  1. Text to Self

     This is when we connect the text to our own experiences.

 Example: (This part's like the time I got a pet. That's kinda cool!)

  2. Text to Text

     Text to text connections are when we compare the text we are reading to other similar texts.

   These texts could be TV programs, visual texts, books, or in a movie.

 Example: (Elton John kind of reminds me of Elvis Presley.)

 3. Text to World

    This is when we connect what we are reading to things that really happen in the outside world.

  Example: (The country is facing a drought in the water reserves. This is like Manila, when the citizens are troubled by running out of clean, purified water.)

This topic helps me better understand what I have read because it helps me understand how it relates to our real world and because it helps me understand what goes on and how I can prevent the same thing from happening or how I can make things better.

Self-Assesment on Paperboy

      Hello, again. Once again, this blog is another task given to me by my teacher, Mr. Terry Mitchell, on a book review for "Paperboy" by Vince Vawter.
          - Andrei Montellano


Self-Assessment on Last Week's Tasks
 
    1. Did I complete all of last week's tasks?
  No, I did not. I only managed to finish drawing Ara T and reading for 20 minutes. The other tasks I haven't done.

    2. What did I do well?
  I did well at drawing Ara T and reading about 20 minutes. The drawing isn't as good, but at least I tried.

    3. What activity challenged me the most?
  What challenged me the most was drawing Ara T because I had to rush, even though I had time to spare.

    4. What did I do about it?
  I drew it anyway because I didn't manage to finish all tasks in previous weeks, so I tried to finish the current one.

   5. What activity was the easiest for me?
  It was reading silently for 20 minutes, because I had been a bookworm when I was in 4th Grade.

   6. How can I extend myself next time?
  I could extend by doing my work more vigourously, or just a tad better.
