CantaMaths 2019

Yesterday Me and 7 other school pupils made our way to Christchurch for the annual cantamaths competition. this year grey main competitors were... Year 8 team: Myself, Dylan, Franklin And Ayesha. Year 7 team: Addison, Honor, Jacob and Arielle. First thing in the morning we left school at around about 9:30. we started making our way out to kumara and on our way to arthurs pass. we stopped at the train station for a toilet stop and to get some fresh air. Then we hopped back in the van and started heading to christchurch. At Christchurch when we got there we went to riccarton mall. we were allowed to spend our own money. I bought some lollies and sherbert. and then we had to make our way to horncastle arena (this is where the competition was) there were also displays on some amazing experiments that some children presented. the year 7 team were first up and done really well they got a total score of 90 points ( 18 Questions ) this is the best a year 7 team has ever done from grey main. our team didn't do as well, we got 50 points ( not as good ) It was a really fun experience.
Then when we finished we got dinner at McDonalds shouted for us. Then we made our way back to the west coast, it was 10pm before we got home.

Minecraft

A few weeks ago Myself, Will and Eli started a Minecraft realm we worked on it for a couple of hours and got tons of iron and a few diamonds. we made ourselves a starter base in the hills to get started. we made ourselves an enchanting table and iron armour / tools, then we enchanted them with some of the lapis we found. now we are branching off and making our own bases. I have got my inspiration from iskills storage system in hermitcraft season 6. it used grey concrete mixed with sandstone and bright green glass. the colour pallet looks super effective. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Paper Planes

yesterday we had to make paper planes. well kind of, we had to follow the instructions to make a plane as a fun piece of work. we made a normal plane, a dragon and a butterfly, buuuuut we had to wait to make the butterfly because we had our very own Joseph Froom come in and teach us step by step. they turned out really cool. we also had a race with our planes, well not a race but who could get the furthest. I was in fist with two people to go, I was quietly confident. but then simeon beat me. I was ok because i still go to move on. but then the most unexpected plane from Arli... Won

Basic Facts

Today I beat my basic facts time. every morning a soon as school starts we have to complete a 100 question mixed sheet of basic facts we have to get %100 to even bother showing our teacher the time. my best time used to be 1:32 but today I beat it getting 1:26. we have a basic facts board with the peoples fastest time but only the top 5 are on there. it used to be. Regan 0:59, kyra 1:08, Me 1:32 Mia and Iris both on 1:36, but then Oliver came in with a time of 1:24, Hannah with 1:25 and Mia kicked me off with a time of 1:31, but today I made it back on with my best time of 1:26! 

Why Samsung Is Better Than Apple

Why Samsung Is Better Than Apple

Do you have a phone? I'm pretty sure about %90 of you said yes and if you did
then you know that phones are pretty expensive and it takes you awhile to
choose the right brand and the right type. And i'm sure most of you would go
for apple right? And you thinkyour getting your money out of it right? Well NO
apple make you pay much much much more than what the phone actually costs,
when Samsung you are paying for the Phone NOT the brand. 

Apple Phones are WAY too expensive but how much do they actually cost, An Iphone
Xs MAX costs about $370 to make but at noel leemings technology shops they
are worth $2599 that means they are charging you $2229 for the right to say you
own an Iphone. But Samsung S10 costs $530 to make and at noel leeming
technology shops are $1000 cheaper coming in at $1499.

Now i'm sure most of you probably have stopped reading this and think im an
idiot, but i'm sure a lot of you are saying that apples are better quality, but
that is a big bunch of LIES, LIES LIES LIES. an IPhone X battery lasts about
10.5 hours give or take, but the Samsung S10 Trumps it with nearly 15 hours.
But its not only the battery life it also the camera apple IPhone X only has a
12 megapixel camera. Buy samsung s10 and have a whopping 16MP ultra-wide,
12MP wide angle, 12MP telephoto And 10MP front camera.

Ok if your still reading this then you must be with me on samsung is better than
apple, but another thing why samsung is better than apple because it has more
products. Samsung don't only sell phones, tablets, laptops and desktops like
apple, samsung also sell televisions, fridges, washers / dryers, vacumes,
dishwashers, cooking appliances, they sell computer monitors, printers and
even speakers, and that's on top of what apple sells they sell everything apple
does at a better price and at better quality. 

Do you want to be paying a lot more money than you should for devices?
I'm guessing most of you said no. so don't choose Apple for your brand
because it charges you so much more than it should. They aren’t better
quality the camera isn’t as good the battery doesn’t last as long AND apple
doesn't sell as many devices / computers as samsung, so if you're looking for
a phone, television, fridge, washer / dryer, vacuum, dishwasher, cooking
appliances, computer monitors, printers and speakers choose Samsung!
