My Dream Superpower

While I've been stuck at home, doing work for the last week of my term, I decided to write a poem for my writing, about my dream superpower. It isn't exactly what you'd expect, for it's not exactly mainstream. But perhaps that is why it is a logical one, of which the only limits are your imagination.
What would your dream superpower be?
Stay safe everyone.

Here is my poem...


My Dream Superpower

If  people could have any superpower they dream,
from your imagination, or fitting a theme,
many upon many would choose to fly,
go higher than the clouds, up in the sky.

Others would pick invisibility,
they could do good, or bad, with great agility.
Perhaps some would select knowledge,
to be smarter than Athena, who created the olive.

Furthermore there is witchery,
to win almost any battle, with great victory.
Or maybe to see ahead in time,
to stop, or avoid, any crime.

Possibly the power to read the mind,
to manipulate, or leave, betrayers behind.
You could choose to run with great speed,
to enter the Olympics and succeed.

However I would not choose any of these powers,
nor to be super strong, or control the hours.
I would pick the talent to change probability,
with which anything is in your capability.

Zero percent chance or breathing underwater?
Well with this power, those numbers I would slaughter.
I could change it to one hundred percent,
I would dive under, and to my health there'd be no dent.

With this ability I could do ANYTHING!
Converse with animals, or become the king.
Why only one power would you steal?
If you could simply get them ALL in a package deal!

My Life Time Of Blog Posts

Today for cyber smart we made a graph to show the number of all our blog posts from 2019-2020.
The first graph shown is the chart that I created to show the dates and numbers so it's more specific information. The second graph is the class one, which is comparing my posts to the classes blog posts over 2019 and 2020. The sum of my blog posts is 31. We used google sheets to add the data and then used that data to make a graph.

As you can see Hayley has made the most blog posts by a LONG way. She has done 121 posts from the start of last year to now. Therefore she has made 90 more blog posts than me. WOW!!
Mrs Bennett, my teacher, has done 1 more blog post than me with a total of 32.
My cousin Isabel has done 43 posts, 12 more than me.
My other cousin Blake has done 18 posts, 13 more than me.
Sophia has done 26 which is 5 less than me.
Next time I think I would find it interesting to make a graph about peoples eye colour at my school.

Here are the graphs...







My Digital Pepeha

Today Room 4 used tour builder to show parts of our pepeha (we couldn't show un-cyber smart parts of it, for example where we live). We then used screencastify to make a video so we can share it on our blogs! In my digital pepeha I included my maunga, awa, iwi, and kura.
Here is my pepeha...

Making Ice Cream!

Room 4 have tech every Wednesday, we have 3 different techs: woodwork, sewing and cooking. This term the year 8's are in cooking tech and we got to make ice cream. Just the twist was that we got to design our own flavour as long as it wasn't too crazy and had a fresh element like fruit included in it. Every week we pair with someone different to make our various foods. I made the ice cream with my classmate John. We came up with the flavour of cinnamon peach with a dash of marshmallows. I really enjoyed making this even though our arm starts to ache after a while of whisking. Afterwards we were allowed to make posters using Poster My Wall to showcase our work like it was a new flavour coming to stores. Poster my wall provides various templates which helps to make an awesome poster and I would definitely recommend using this.

Here is the poster that I created to showcase my ice cream...
