Algebra- Cup capers





Here is my solving of the problems above.




Valerie Adams Flag bearer ( Delayed )

The New Zealander who holds the women's shot put world record Valerie Adams was selected to represent New Zealand at the commonwealth games. How she did this was not only did she participate in the games she was the flag bearer. If you don't know what the flag bearer is it's the person who waves the flag when their country's name is called out.

She did a phenomenons job even though its quite a simple job but a huge privilege. " It was pretty scary I didn't know what I was doing I just tried to do what the others did" she had said after the opening ceremony. " Hopefully I did new Zealand proud" She quoted before she left to go and practice for her games.

At the end of the games her practice had payed of when she won the last gold medal for New Zealand. Also she won the 600th gold medal for New Zealand over the years. Here is a video of her waving the flag.

Completing the game Astria Countdown to Impact

Today me and my partner has completed and saved the world astria. It feels so good as the when we started we thought we wouldn't save the planet in time.

The most hardest section of today would be presenting our research and findings to the council to help find a solution. The key areas that my partner and I completed would have to be saving the planet. We already have saved the planet and are just celebrating.

Kahurangi Maori Dance Group

Ring Ring Ring…. the morning tea bell had rang and it was time for us to return to our classes and line up. But it seemed when we got to our classes we didn’t enter. Some of us were puzzled because we didn’t know what was going on. Finally the teachers announced “ Face the other way and walk the other way”. Turning we realised we had a special performance from the Kahurangi dance group.


If you don’t know what the Kahurangi Dance group is they are a Big Kapahaka group who travel around the world sharing the stories and ancestry actions and songs. Quick Fact: Did you know that they have a base in the U.S how cool is that?


Anyway entering the hall we didn’t see the group instead we saw the blank stage. We sat down waiting for the performances. Soon they came out and did their performances it was very touching and amazing because of their timing with the actions.


Finishing their 1st performance they introduced themselves. Then they wowed us with one of their performances. They did a song together with both poi and mau rakau. Did I mention there was only 2 females and 3 males.
More performances from the boys were mostly showing their mau rakau skills. Then the girls were the different poi actions that they could do. To get a break they got three warriors from the crowd. Their job was to try and copy one of the males from the three with the mau rakkaus they borrowed.


Closing the show they sang two songs that were well harmonised and wasn’t flat. Adding Poi’s and Mau rakau it was spectacular.


By the way they don’t just perform in front of schools they also do big performances across the world. So check them about Kahurangi Dance Group

Day 3:

The game is very difficult at this stage because I think I am near saving the planet. It is working my brain really hard because I don't know where everything is and what I am missing. Hopefully the I save the planet Astria with my planet.

Can't wait till tomorrow when I play the game where I left over.

Today me and my partner have accomplished so much I think that we are going to save the planet in time. I am really impressed with this game because I am learning so much vocab and what it means I think that today or tomorrow we will be done saving the planet.

Tune in tomorrow for some more updates on the game Astria Countdown To Impact.
