Sports Game

Introduction

My group was going to make a shooting game but we changed the game design to a sports game because we where so behind in our game and all of the other where up to coding their games. We where only at finding out what to have types of guns and people that we needed in it. Mr Carter told us that we should change our game because we where so behind in our game that we had to change it to something different. We decided that we should do something we all knew how to play like sports so my whole group did something on a sport that they knew about Luke is doing Hockey Uma is doing Rugby Noah is doing Baseball and i am doing Soccer.

Reflection

a.I have learnt to use coggle and pad let and how to code a game on app lab.

How do i know how to use app lab: I know how it works i knew how it worked a little bit but i added to knowing how to us it a bit more.

My work shows that using app lab to make learn how to make a app with coding every thing that i have learnt.

b.Did everyone contribute: Everyone did contribute but it took a long time to get everyone on task and do what they have bee told to do.

How did this affect the outcome: The outcome of the game did not work at the start but when we changed the game i think that the group did understand what we where doing.

Was i happy with the group i worked with: The group that i work with was great to work with i would work with this group again.

c.Did we finish: We did not finish but we where so close to finishing the game.

What changes would we have make in the processes: Maybe having the sports game idea at the start.

What have i taking from this work: Learning that even if things don't work out it may in the end of everything

Bullying

I am writing this blog post to say that i hate when i keep bullied an my friends are getting bullied. I go to school to learn not to get bullied.

 When i started school i meet someone that knew what i was going though and so was he, we where best friend we would go to the garden with him because the school let him have his own garden. One day we went to the garden i helped him plant some plants the next day we would go in the garden with some other friends to water all of the plants. It got to the middle of the year and he started to get bullied i was there for him it was very hard for him the school before he came to hornby was sockburn and he was bullied there too. I helped him and so did his other friends he was always sitting in the library with his other best friends. It came to the end of the year i said to him have a good holiday and see you next year at school the holiday where so long that i though that he would be fine but ti came to the day when my mum and dad told me that he had passed away i was crying because he was one of my best friends. It came the first day of me being in year 8 with out my best friend the whole year 8 and 7 where told that he passed away over the holiday the people that where really good friends got to speak with the counsellor she gave me support so i could get though not have him there in the class with. I got bullied in year 7,8,9 and year 10, at the start of year 10 i thought that this year was going to be the best but i thought wrong i started getting bullied. Term 2 came right around the corner again i start getting bullied again.

I hope once you read this you will understand what bullying is like and that it will be stop once and for all.
