Passion Project

My passion project today is chess, my goals are to beat a good player and to win a game against a bot in around 20 moves, I am going to achieve them by paying attention to my opponents moves and try to figure out the best move.

I am hoping to improve my chess skills because of this.

I am using the school values of

Resilience – I did not stop when it got hard.

Integrity – I did it without teacher supervision.

Success – I felt that I did it on my own.

Empathy – I worked with others to achieve the goal.

Matariki Literacy – Task 2

The second task that I have done is fiction writing, we had to write a fictional story about something or someone lost so I wrote one about a person who fell down a “well” and couldn’t get out.

 

One night the mayor of Peanut Town was walking back to his house after a long day of collecting taxes when suddenly, he tripped and fell down a well! The well was so deep that when he yelled for help it wouldn’t even go halfway up, he had to wait until someone lowered the bucket to get some water but the well wasn’t being used anymore so that would take a very long time. The mayor sat in the well for hours trying to think of a way out but it suddenly started to rain, this gave the mayor an idea: if it rained enough, the well would fill up and he could float up to the top and escape. After an entire day of raining the mayor was able to swim to the top but when he got out he realized that he wasn’t in the well, it was the toilet silo and it wasn’t raining water.

 The End
