My name is Melone. Bugsy Melone ( A.K.A Musical Theatre= Busy Malone)

Musical Theatre

The year 9-10 have doth been blessed with have another chance of being in the year 7-8 passion projects ( it was called The Arts Kete but it’s changed). At all my years of doing this topic I alway choose Musical Theatre and I’m thankful for that. So this year I chose Musical Theatre again and the Musical we are doing is Bugsy Melone that was set in the 1920’s. 

Back Story: Bugsy Melone was set in the 1920’s as a mafia type of setting were there are guns but in stead of buliets and guns it’s replaced with whipped cream and cannon guns. Characters are : Bugsy,Blousey,Tallulah , Fat Sam, Danny Dan , Louella , and more.

The Character I’m playing is the lead roll, Bugsy Melone. Bugsy is a 15 year old kid where he is stuck in the middle because his father is Irish and his mother is Italian so he can’t choose which culture to identify as. He is a very known to all the people in the town, he’s normally talks to fat Sam, Tallulah and now a new person in his life named Blousey. He is a smooth talker and a nice guy in general.


How to channel that character: You got to have like a New York type of accent, smooth guy, look like a gentleman, be nice and respectful.

Health assessment 

If your boyfriend/Girlfriend told you to send nude pictures to them, and you know you don’t want to , and you know it’s wrong but you also don’t want him to think that you don’t love him anymore.How can you tell them in an assertive way? ( mind my pictures I type it at the bottom of this blog. And the weird photo angles)

 

Extension task : ( can’t spell on my sheet)
If they still pressure you to send them what do u say/ do and why?
.


Here is what I said to question one:
Question one:

• I would say no then give them a reason. Here are the reasons and scenarios.
• Someone else would text them: “Sorry no, because I don’t want to send nudes never, or not this age. I do love you don’t think I never did because I love you. Hopefully you understand.”
• Someone else would talk to them face to face:  “ Sorry I can’t do that because I never want to send nudes at all because that’s not the type of person I am. Don’t think I don’t love you anymore because I love you with all my heart. Hopefully you will understand what I’m saying.”
• Me in text: “ Sorry no, I’m not that type of person. I find it weird showing my body to someone if I’m not married/ not in a solid long relationship with them. I do love you deeply but I just don’t like doing those things. Hopefully you understand.”
• Me Face to Face with them: ( what I said before)

Extension Question:

• I would consider talking  to them more about it because they need to respect your decision because if they don’t then I think you should consider thinking about the relationship because trust, and understanding is one of the keys of a relationship.

Home Economics Reflection

In the start of the term 3, we learned about baking and how to use dry and wet ingredients in correct cups and spoons.
- Dry= Spoons
- Wet= Cup jugs
You add the dry ingredients first and then add your wet ingredients.

I also learnt to make a nutrition label and read it.

There are three allergies 
Celiacs Disease, Lactose intolerance, Allergy to food groups such as egg, nuts

What happens to Food? : Updated

Ingestion:

• When food goes into the mouth it is going through a process to be digested
• Chew Food is called Masticating
• Swallow Food
• There are three important teeth that help you digest your food. Canine that helps you with your ability to rip and tear the flesh off the bone, Incisors helps out with the cutting of the food, and the molars are used for crushing and grinding the food

Digestive Processes=

Stomach:

Liver:
The way the nutrients go to the small intestines to the liver is that the nutrients get absorbed and transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. That nutrient is converted to either energy, transported to a working muscle or stored for use later. The green-coloured fluid is called Bile. The fluid is stored in the gallbladder. The bile is an alkaline fluid. The alkaline neutralises the acidic from the stomach to prevent it digesting the rest of the digestive system.

Facts:

If you want a liver replacement the closest thing is a pigs one
You can re-grow your liver
The ancient Greeks thought the liver was god in them.

Problem solving: Health

What did you learn about ?
I learnt … that there are some situation where you got to think of the positives and the negatives of it.

When discussing “Thought Challenges” what did you notice about yourself?
When I think I often react both Positive and Negative.
Here is an example of one situation I've been in

Challenging Thoughts

SCENARIO    / NEGATIVE    / THOUGHT CHALLENGER    / POSITIVE

My Friends making me cry/ I’ll just sit here and cry/ Will I let this thought control my life/ Nah I got better things to do instead of listening to them

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business & Enterprise kete?
Here is an example that I had in year 7

Step one ->You want to make pom pom balls and I want to make glow in the dark mini jars

Step two->We will just make another Idea -We can make both

P

Step three->Take a long time to come to an agreement -More time wasted doing two

Step four->We ended up making pom pom balls ( Because a certain staff member didn’t like my design)

Step Five->We will start the planning next time

Digestive system : Science: Updated

Mouth:

• The mouth is used for digest food
• We use our teeth to chomp down the food

Oesophagus:

• It is a chub that sends the processed food down

Why do we have a mouth?: To chomp down all the food so it can go down the oesophagus and so on.

What else do you do with your mouth?: It moves and makes you talk and taste

Moko A.K.A Maori Tatto's ( Social Stidies)

In Social Studies we are learning about  Maori Europeans and we are focusing on the topic of Moko ( Maori Tatto's) I learned that the left side of the face means it's the mother side and the right is the fathers. The most confused bit of the whole this is the drawing part. I also learnt to be able to have a face tattoo back then you have to be strong. (I don't know why I do ghoul eyes)

English: Matrix for Myths, Legends, Fables and Tales : Updated

LO->Students will understand that traditional stories show aspect of different cultures.

In English, we are learning to understand and find the meaning of stories

Haiku:

The monkey is mean,

He threw away all the greens,

The turtle is sad.

Monkey is hungry,

But the turtle is helping,

In the end it’s bad

Why do you think the author created this story? Mybye they wanted a diffrent storyline than the others

What is the purpose (reason) for writing this story? To teach a moral.

What is the author trying to explain? Don't steal other peoples stuff or you will be punished later on.

What did the characters learn? Don't do bad things or you will be punished.

How did the characters grow or change? Spoiler: One charter dies ( Got cut up) and the other drowns

Why did the characters act this way? Because the other one stole there fruit.

Why do you think the story came into existence? Because the author wanted moral and a different type of story.

What did you learn about the Philippines from reading the story? That you will be punished if you do a bad thing.

What do you think the purpose of this story is? For a diffrent type of story and a moral.

Why do you think this story is important to the people of the Philippines? Don't do bad thing because you will get punished later.

What could I do better?:
Make it pop with different colours instead of keeping it the same one every time. ( especially the background)

One thing I might change about this story is the ending it's too brutal. I would make the Monkey have karma until he dies of natural courses.

I wonder?????? HMMMMM????? ( n.o 10 topic)

What was the first video game to come out?

in 1972 the first game to get a hit is a game named Pong. The only console that you can play it on is the Atari 2600. It is a game about moving your moving your cursor to get the slides to bounce back the moving square -- it will speed up as you progress through it. The game was only selled in Sears (it even had there logo on the console.)



The first Pong game to come on to PC was in 1977. Then Nintendo continued to develop and introduce new game consoles. Other companies, such as Sega and Sony, created their own home video game systems.
