Here is a Comment on Shay's Blog!

Hi Shay, It's me, Teegan.
I'm a year 8 at YMS!
It's great to see that you chose the first time you went to Winter Sports!
I think Winter Sports is really fun!
Hockey is also a really great sport to play as well!
Did you enjoy your first time at playing hockey?
I think you did a great story!

Here is a Comment on Riley's Blog!

Hi Riley, It's me, Teegan.
I'm a year 8 at YMS!
I think Typing Club is a good way to learn how to type faster!
It also helps you to practice not looking at the keyboard and use finger memory to type!
Have you used it alot?
Kind Regards,

Story Time With Me... i don't like this idea

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Today, I have to tell you guys a story...

And I'm not that creative with stories, so I'll just tell you about Mr Robertson!

Mr Robertson is our principal and every year we have an end-of-year assembly.

I guess it all started when my Mom wanted me to learn a song and then she would buy me an Acoustic Guitar...

(Prepare To Get Bored)

My Mom wanted me to learn how to play this song;

It's a GoodBye song so it fits the purpose, and so I learnt how to play it, well started to.

Anyways, My Dad was teaching me on the electric guitar and he played on the 12 string.

Which are harder to play than normal acoustic guitars. The next day my Mom had bought me the Acoustic! It was a nice red one too! This is what it looked like;

So i started to play it on it instead and it was my usual guitar now. It made the electric seem really small, compared to the wood body of a base boosted instrument. I've been practicing ever since I got it and I decided to play it for the End Of Year Assembly.

I brought it in one day and started playing with Mr Robertson and he showed me a couple of things I could play. Then it brings me to today, when he actually brang his guitar in to learn the song. (Yes, I have to teach him.) And that brings me to the end of my story!

Have you ever played a guitar before?

Or any other instrument?

Let me know!

Quality Blog Comment Check

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

This week at YMS, we learnt about Quality Blog Comments!

It's always important to write a quality comment!

We had to comment on the comment and suggest what needed to change.

Some of them had big spelling mistakes,
and others had personal information.
The most important thing about commenting and posting,
is that you NEVER put your personal information.

This was also a challenge as we had to work in pairs.
We didn't have to re-write them though.
Some of the comments were properly written.

Here is a screenshot of the work we did;

It was mostly my comments but my friend Shay did some as well.
We also had to use a thumbs up or down for them.
To write a quality comment, you need to think
Positive, something you like about their post.
Thoughtful, something that is nice about their post.
Helpful, something you think they could add to improve the post/suggestions.
Question, ask them about something from the blog.

Well, I hope you know how to write a quality blog comment now!

A Lesson About Resilience

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

This week at YMS, we learnt about something called Resilience!

Resilience is a funny kinda thing.

Think of it as learning from a previous experience.

If you were to take a spring and stretch it,

it would bounce back right?

But it would never be the same because

you stretched it out, it became longer.

Here is a short video to explain it a little bit better.

Video by : 

First to Draw Limited

Resilience is basically about keep trying and trying.
If you fall off your bike 5 times,
How many times do you get back up again?
5! Because you kept trying over and over again!

There is a famous quote about Resilience.
"I Can Be Changed By What Happens To Me, But I Refuse To Be Reduced By It." - Maya Angelou
It is partly related to having a growth mindset.
To not have one view of failure, but to adapt from it.

For me, Resilience is going just fine, as it should be.
I haven't made another error on anything since last time!
I'm able to bounce back and carry on. Have you got any Resilience?
Let me know!
