My Fake Media!

 Hey Bloggers! This is my fake media I made. I made this for schoolwork, not to genuinely trick people into thinking I am a scientist. I would be WAY too young! Well, obviously this is fake because the backdrop is a cartoon! I used  https://www.remove.bg/ to remove the background of the picture I took of myself and the photo I uploaded of the potion. Tell me what you think of my fake media in the comments and if it looks realistic or not! (Probably not, but that's okay.) Thank you for reading my blog! Bye! 😄 (I just previewed my blog, and the photo I embedded goes out of the picture! Oopsie...) Edit: It's okay now. I fixed it!

Legend SMP

 Hey Bloggers! Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Today I will talk about Legend SMP that my friends and I made. If you want to join, send an email to me or James McGrath with a video of you surviving 15 days in Minecraft survival on normal or hard mode. We will send you the join code whenever possible. So, on to the blog.

Houses

James and I built the first house on the server. It is VERY ugly. Then a couple of weeks later, a creeper blew up the front of the house and now it's even uglier :(


My Bedroom:



And yes, I have a fish tank on the right hand side.


James's Bedroom


And double yes, I encased James in obsidian while he was afk and we didn't bother to clean it up.

Enchanting room:


I am very proud of all that we have accomplished in Legend SMP.
I even opened up a shop called Chase Mart. We sell food, pet fish, quartz for redstone and just nice looking modern builds. We also sell potions, glowstone and nether wart. Special discounts for loyal customers!

Okay, this is just turning into an ad for Chase Mart. 
Bye Bloggers! 👋

Empires SMP Minecraft

Hello! My name is Sofia, and today I want to show you the Empires SMP (Survival Multiplayer) my friends and I started! I had the idea from a YouTube SMP.  It was a different Empires SMP that I first started watching on a YouTube channel called LDShadowLady. I took the idea for my starter castle from a youtuber called Katherine Elizabeth Gaming. She used calcite in the castle but as that is a 1.17 item, and education edition is in 1.15, (Edit: It finally got updated! Yay!) (Why does it update so slow??) I used polished diorite instead. My starter home and castle are both quite ugly,so I'm thinking of upgrading it soon. Here is a screenshot of my first house:    

And here is a screenshot of my new castle!


And most importantly....


Yup! This is my dog, Sky! I killed SO many cows to get a STACK (64) of steak to put in that barrel in the corner. And I found a name tag in a dungeon chest!I had an idea to pick a certain theme and trade that theme! For example I chose crops and farms so I trade seeds,wheat,carrots,sugarcane,beetroot, potatoes,melon,pumpkin and bamboo.I even put a little bell I found at a village by my farm stall where I trade the crops.



Thanks for reading my blog!

My Mushroom Fields Village!

 I'm sure most of you have already heard of the game Minecraft. If you play it, then you should know about villages. They spawn in Plains, Spruce Forests,Snowy Tundras, Savannas and Deserts. But why not other biomes? So I decided to change that. I sent my friends an email telling them to pick a biome that didn't have a village. I chose the Mushroom Fields. Here is a screenshot of a Nitwit (Nitwits are villagers that don't have a job) house I built!


Each villager has a different house according to the villager's profession. I will show you all of the mushroom houses I built ( The whole village isn't finished yet! ) and I will tell you their professions.

Cleric

Blacksmith

Librarian

I really had fun designing all of these fun mushroom houses! Designing villages is a fun thing to do when you are bored in Minecraft!

Why I am on strike. LOL

 

Hi Bloggers! Today i'm going to tell you why I am on strike!! LOL. So, It started when my teacher was giving us, like, 7 MATHS WORKSHEETS!! When I was on about the fourth worksheet, I realised, if adults can go on strikes, why can't we? So I talked to my friend Amina about it, and persuaded her to come with me to tell Ms. Corbett. I told Amina I would just be telling Ms. Corbett about the strike and she wouldn't have to say anything. I told Ms. Corbett that we were going on strike and that we wouldn't do any more maths until we got MINECRAFT!! She said, "Okay, you can go on strike but you're not getting Minecraft." I thought, "Eh, that's good enough at least I can read instead of MATH."  

Thanks for reading my blog! ✌

My favourite Minecraft games!

 Hello, my name is Sofia and today I will show you my favourite Minecraft games and how to play them.

1.  Bedwars 

In Bedwars you either have a blue bed, a lime bed, a red bed, or a yellow bed. Use your iron and gold to buy supplies to protect your bed and bridge over to the middle island to get emeralds to buy more items.

2.Murder Mystery

Murder Mystery is a really old map. In Murder Mystery you are either an innocent, a murderer or a detective. The detective has a bow that can one-shot anyone. If they shoot the wrong person, they lose the bow and someone else has to pick it up. If everyone is dead, the murderer wins. (The innocents basically just do tasks)

3:Build Battle

In Build Battle, you vote for a theme, then you build that theme. For example, if the theme was Cat, everyone would build a cat.There are 6 different ways you can be rated. SUPER POOP, Poop, Ok, Good, Epic and Legendary. 

Thank you for reading my blog! 😁

Scratch coding!

Helloo! My name is Sofia. Today I want to talk about Scratch Coding. Scratch is a wonderful coding website that is simple to operate and really fun. Scratch has multiple fun blocks to code with and comes with some starter tutorials to help you make some beginner games. Scratch is really fun! I have already made big projects but my teacher makes us do beginner tutorials. ☹

My Scratch Flying Project!

 Today for school we did a Scratch project! I think it is very cool and I am proud of it. We did a flying project. We chose a character to make fly. I chose the "Cat Flying" character. I added a cape and puff of smoke to it using the "paint" tool! (Sorry about the cursor in the way it shows up in my screenshots for some reason)






We had to move the scenery behind the cat to make it look like it was moving! This is a full screenshot:

I moved the car, bus and cloud! Thank you for reading!

How to start off your Minecraft world!

 Admit it. Minecraft is one of the coolest games in the world! Today I will show you a guide on how to make a good world in Minecraft survival.  😸


Gathering materials
The first thing you start with when you spawn, mine the first tree you see. turn the logs into planks and create a crafting table to make yourself some wooden tools. Make a wooden pickaxe and then break the  dirt under you until you reach stone. Mine nine stone to make a stone pickaxe, axe,shovel and sword. Then once you have crafted your tools, kill three sheep. Their wool can be used to make a bed and their meat can be cooked with a furnace ( mine 8 stone to craft). However, if you are a vegetarian, you can find two iron in a cave and smelt them in a furnace, to make ingots. Use these iron ingots to craft shears, so you can shear the sheep's wool. This seems to be more efficient as you can get more wool from shearing the sheep instead of killing it. From shearing, you can get 1-3 wool, but if you kill the sheep, then you will only get one wool. Once you have the wool you will craft a bed, which will allow you to skip the night so monsters don't spawn. Gather ONE TYPE of wood until your axe breaks. For example, you will only gather birch wood.

Making a house
If you didn't get enough wool to craft a bed before nighttime time you might want to find some coal and craft some torches. And fast! Mobs will spawn EVERYWHERE now. The best base you can make now is an underground base. Use your shovel and dig down 3 blocks.Use your crafting table to make a trapdoor and dig down another 3 blocks. Dig around the last three blocks you mined to make more room.Decorate your little base and put a torch in for light. Place the trapdoor to seal the entrance and keep checking if it is daytime. For a normal wooden base, do whatever design you want! I know it will look amazing!

Exploring Caves
Using the stone pickaxe,mine as much iron as you can. Get an iron pick and dig down to y10. If there is a cave, you are lucky! You can find diamonds there at y10. You can also find diamonds at y12, but there are more diamonds at y10. Once you find 6 diamonds, craft a diamond pickaxe and a diamond axe. Axes do more damage than swords.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Simplifying Fractions in Week 10

Today we were learning how to simplify fractions. The first thing we did was try find out which number would go equally into both numbers. The first fraction was 12⁄15. The answer was 4⁄5. The number I chose that went equally into both 12 and 15 was 3.The way got 4/5 was 3x4=is 12. and it was multiplied by 4. So there's the 4. then 3x5 =15, so there's the 5.

Fale House Points Week Nine

 


We made a graph to mark how many points our Fales got in Week nine. I used the information from the image above the graph to write it.        

From this Graph I can see that;
  • Rata is first, with 3600 points. (Rata is my house!)
  • Totara is second, with 3482 points!
  • Kowhai is third, but only just,the Kowhai people are nearly tied with Totara.
  • Kauri is fourth, with 3311 points. ( but they are trying so they are getting an extra token (House points) if they say "Morena" to my teacher, or Mrs Laxa.)
STATEMENTS
(My opinions) 
  • I think it is possible for Kauri to catch up to Rata but I think it is unlikely.
  • Kauri will need 200 points a day to catch up. Normally teams earn 60 points a day.

Spreadsheets- Analysis of Completed Tasks for Monday 28 June

  Ms Corbett was sick , but our reliever didn't come. Our class was split because of that. 😿. Ms. Corbett E-mailed us a taskboard for today.

Here is a graph of the tasks our class finished.

From the graph I can see that the total number of students in our class on 28 June was 20. I know this because I added up the numbers on the side of the graph.From this graph I can see 1 student completed no tasks, 6 students completed 1 task,7 students completed 2 tasks,6 students completed 3 tasks and only 2 students completed all 4.
I think next time I can write with better fonts. The only font I used was Pacifico and that font is kinda hard to read.
Bye! 😉

Fractions! =D




 

Today we made fraction combinations that were bigger than a half and smaller than a whole . We had an entire square to fill up but it was split up into four rectangles .We had to drag and drop the fraction pieces into the rectangles.I did:
  • 1 half & 1 fifth and two 1 eighths.
  • 1 half & 1 tenth and 1 sixth
  • 1 half & 1 third and 1 twelfth
  • 1 half & 1 twelfth and 1 fourth
We used this website: Fraction Strips!
