WC100



I took inspiration from the this photo:



After the safari in Africa with my dog,Buddy. I was jumping off my seat while looking at the photos I took . My Mother booked a private flight for Me, she was always nice to me. Then the plane went into a full-on nose dive. The pilot started shouting I couldn’t hear him over the propeller. I clutched Buddy and shut my eyes Then SLAM!.

I woke up with Buddy licking me , I ran from the Burning plane I kept running. Me and Buddy stopped to catch our breath in front of a river, My days of survival just begun.

My Audit

Hello bloggers!

On this post I will be reflecting on my participation in the Student Blogging challenge.

I participated in every week (1-8)  and posted 25 (26 once I have posted this page).
I also had 17 comments, 127 page views so I have become semi-popular.
My favourite week was probably week 5 because it was fun to research things about Sustainability and speak it all out in 1 post also I had 6 comments on My Earth day post and I love replying to people.
I used Pixabay, Pixelr, the site I used to make my avatar and other sites I can't remember.
I will probably keep posting not on this account but on my other account leeleejake.blogspot.com it has one post but it explains what I will be doing on that blog.

Science Spinning disc

I followed the instructions of Of this youtube video and made the spinning disc.
It worked- sort of, I sharpened the pencil too much and the lead kept breaking.
So it was a sort of win-win situation

My Emoji Story

My Emojis:⛷ skier 🍧 ice cream 😒 annoyed face  


The Legend of the Immortal Ice cream in the mountain of Matterhorn!

By Levi


Back in the days of old there was a Urban legend of Ice cream that made whoever ate it immortal. Located in the Middle of the Mountain of Matterhorn in Switzerland. One day in America a rich man named Snobby McSnobbypants who was big and round as well as having the traditional McSnobbypants tiny mustache heard of the legend and wanted that immortality so he selected 3 of his best men 1 of them , Luca was from Switzerland himself he was known mostly for being a great skier, He had heard of the legends and had always his life's dream was to know If the Ice cream was really real or not.

 After a long airplane ride they arrived in Zurich and brought hiking gear, Luca knew what they needed and brought some extra things one of the other two selected for the job scoffed and said "Ze boss will give us what we need and you aren't ze boss!"the other laughed, Luca was annoyed but carried on buying the extra things.

 After 5 hrs of snoring, laughing, and conversations later they had arrived at the foot of Matterhorn. Clusters of buildings and a small cafe sat at the base of the mountain. Luca was excited the other two were nervous, one of them squeaked "I need to go to ze bathroom" and the other one piped "Ya ya ya me too" Lucas looked confused but nodded in acceptance, Then the pair bolted straight to the car and drove off laughing about how stupid Luca was to fall for their trick. Luca was sad, angry, Because he just realized that Snobby McSnobbypants wanted him to die!. But since he was at the Matterhorn he decided to complete his dream and find the Ice-cream.

Before he started the trek he decided to visit the small cafe it was actually a small Ice Cream parlour a old man was standing behind the counter Luca walked up to the counter "Hello young man!" the old man said cheerfully he look old like 1000 years old, he had crumpled white hair, A small goatee, and eyes white like the snow he wore a dusty red t-shirt and light green shorts  he then said "I think you would like the old gold flavour ," ice cream flavour and while getting his ice cream the old man said "I don't get many customers in here," he paused then continued  "I made this ice cream shop because I thought the myth about the ice cream was popular but apparently not," Luca finally finished his ice cream and walked out.

He started climbing the snow was cold his hands felt numb after 2 hours of climbing we found a rock pointed out of the stone he sat on it trying to catch his breath he had climbed 101 metres (331 feet) then he heard a distant rumble and then a wall of snow smashed into him he blacked out. When he woke up he was in the old man's parlour but it was full of people they were crowding around Luca and muttering "look he's not dead, broken, or scratched how?" Luca was bewildered all of a sudden the crowd parted and the old man came through Luca asked him  "How am I alive?" the old man said "... 

You make Up the next part! it's up to you what happens next!.

School interview- With my Mother

My interview with My Mother

Why? Because she went to O.I.S when she was a child too and I want to see the differences between my Mothers time at O.I.S and my time at O.I.S.

Q.How big was the school when you were there?

A.It was 10 classrooms and about 260 to 290 students  (in 2020 there are 10 as well)

Q.What was your favourite memory from O.I.S? and Why?

A.Year 8 camp because it was really fun and it was a good mix of kids. We did lots of cool activities like Abseiling, Orienteering, Bushwalks, Nighttime Obstacle course . Being in the bunk rooms with my friends were fun.

Q.Was Technology the same four as they are now?  (Hard mats, Digi, Food and Textiles, Art) what was your favourite

A. We didn't have Digi Tech and Hard Materials was split between woodwork and metalwork. My favourites were Woodwork and Art

Q.What have you noticed visiting the School this year that was different to when you were there?

A.The Hub and Learning Center were resource sheds, The Hall set up completely different to how we had when I was at O.I.S , Also we had a big obstacle playground / course that has been removed.

There you have it folks a quick Interview about O.I.S in 1993 compared to O.I.S in 2020.

My opinions about my school

My opinions on O.I.S

Pros:

The Canteen serves delicious food
Lots of Sportgear if you forgot to bring your ball / Accessories
Really nice teachers
Good field for playing games on
Great Sporting variety

Cons:

Far away from my home
The school uniform is a bit strict (for my liking)
Weird rules about coming into school
Sometime teachers dismiss bullying 

Special events at my school


SPECIAL EVENTS AT MY SCHOOL
Today I will be telling you about five of our special events.
Triathlon team event- OIS is probably one of the only schools in Otago To have a Triathlon Team Event. It's when you and 2 others pick an event (swim, bike, run) and you do your event and your other two friends do the other events. It's a lot easier than the classic Triathlon but you don't get a reward like the people who do the classic Triathlon

Camp fundraising- At OIS we have a Year 8 (grade 7) camp and we have fundraisers for it. We either have a Garage sale, Make Cheese rolls, Make and sell Cakes, Take something to sell at a Mini Gala. If you really want to make sure that you have enough money to go to camp you can do all the options.

Cross Country- At my school we have a semi-big field that is big enough to run a full- fledged 1 kilometre (1036 yards) run. Everyone has to compete in Cross Country ( unless you're on holiday). If you come first in our Cross Country you go to the North Otago Cross Country and if you beat that you go to the Otago Cross Country.

James Hargest- At my school we have a sporting rivalry with James Hargest college in Invercargill where each year they come up to us in Oamaru or we go down to Invercargill and play sports with them. We play most sports Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Netball and many other sports.

Year 8 camp- I may have hinted at this one earlier but this had to be on this list because It's the best part of OIS (apparently). You get to choose what Camp you go on for a whole week!. The options are Kiwi Explorer a camp for adventurous people who like Soccer and biking, Wainui a laid back camp for people that just want to relax, Boyle River a mix between Kiwi and Wainui relaxation on the first day and adventuring on day two, Last but not least Mt Somers it's basically Kiwi explorer but more hiking no biking and lots of scenic views. If you had went to my school which camp would you go on?.

I compare my school with Cobham Intermediate

Oamaru Intermediate School VS Cobham Intermediate School

This will make a long lasting Rivalry... maybe...

Similarities

Both in New Zealand

They specialise in year 7 & 8 (grades 6 & 7)

Differences (1 point will be scored for whoever is bigger or better):

Size

O.I.S  200 cubic metres (200 x 200 metres)

C.I.S   150 cubic metres (150 x 150 metres)

Decile scale
(the less the number the less money they need from the Government to run)

O.I.S: 6

C.I.S: 8

Number of pupils

O.I.S 382

C.I.S 624 (the school is small for the number of pupils!)

Suburbs that they are in:

O.I.S: Oamaru with a population of : 14,667

C.I.S: Christchurch with a population of 398,520

Total score

O.I.S- 2

C.I.S- 2

TIEBREAKER:

Best rating on Google (weirdest tiebreaker ever)

O.I.S: 4.6 stars

C.I.S: 3.5 stars

BUT... Cobham Intermediate had more good reviews than bad reviews meaning that it's a Tie!




My School's Grounds.

My school is one of the biggest in my town and that means it should have big Fields right? right?
Well no, Compared to others schools my schools grounds are actually quite small. They are mostly made of dirt and more dirt our courts are made of concrete with steel basketball hoops spurting out of the courts. The library, classrooms, and office have been built around the court.
