Scary Maze Game - Last Day Of Tech Term 3

Scary Maze Game!

The last day of technicraft was the best day as it was the day of making games, the game I focused on making for the day was ‘The Scary Maze Game’, I was inspired by the original scary maze game created by ‘Micro Worlds’ but mine however  was a little different. The game includes three maze levels and one jumpscare level. Red needs to get to all the green squares in order to move on to the next level but there is something horrific following him! This game was created using scratch and will be public soon for all to play! But sadly this was the last lesson of coding but not the end of my interest in making games.

Teachers Wanted

I am looking for a good teacher who can spread the word about who I am and about my father. I want a teacher who can teach the values and virtues of me to help the children to follow me and to be good children. I want someone to teach in different varieties of ways to help them to understand what you teach. It doesn’t matter if you are not christian but the only thing that matters is that you believe in me and that you are a good teacher and a good role model for the children.

The day my teacher was away...

The day my teacher was away

The day my teacher was away, it was the worst day in school history! Let me take you into my intimidating day. The day wasn’t just an ordinary day, it had monsters, a fake teacher and more! Let’s get into it!

‘Friday the twenty third of August’ “Ok, class the new teacher is here her name is Mrs Nice and she will take over for the day, please respect her” said Mrs Johnson.

“YES!” said John. Mrs Nice seemed familiar to Eugene, “Is she that person who everyone hates because she posts pictures of herself on moogle.com” Eugene asked in his head.

“Hi class, I’m your cool teacher Mrs Nice but you can call me Mia”

“Yep, she is the person” said Eugene.

“Yay, new teacher!” said John.

The day seemed like a normal day until the teacher went inside the back room, I followed her and I observed her as she was transformed into something else.  My eyes were glued to  her new appearance, like a magnet I felt myself being drawn towards the Grudge looking character. Dressed in clothes one would expect to see on someone from an asylum, with hair covering her face, it felt like a nightmare had come to life.

I dashed back into the classroom, colliding with the door and stumbling over the rubbish bin and planted myself under the table. Everyone snickered at me, holding their  laughs somewhere deep inside, it seemed as if laughing was prohibited in Mrs Nice or should I say Mia’s law.

Like I said she turned into a ghost character with her hair screened in front of her ghostly face. I informed Eugene about it but all he said was ‘LIES’.  I mentioned it to John, he laughed and he started to gossip. Suddenly, there was a big bang noise and Mrs Nice entered the room with all the lights turning off and a creepy music box turning on with music used in horror movies. She started to hypnotize the students except me to do what she commanded. “I’m dead” (I said to myself)

I know you might be thinking this story might have a happy ending like all stories but I am telling you, that is not necessarily true. Hold on tight, or take a depth breath, or whatever you think will help because this could get pretty scary. Mrs Nice came  closer and closer towards  me and then boom!  Complete darkness filled the classroom.  I tried to turn on the lights but before I could, they turned on by themselves. With eyes wide open, I stared in every direction.  The children were gone, everything was gone. I reached for the phone and fell forward.  

My eyes focused and I realised that I had fallen out of bed.  I woke up with my sister next to me telling me to wake up but while she was saying wake up, she started to change into the Grudge!

The End…    or is it….Dun Dun Duuuuun!

Queenstown

Queenstown

The ice cold air of Queenstown punched my face to the tip of my toes. It was nine in the morning and our destination was held at AJ Hackett Bungy Centre. The specific reason for this rather exciting action is that this planned activity is set to sit on a terrifying ride on none other than the one hundred and thirty meter high zipride.

Apparently when we saw the extreme zipride, something triggered  my grandma to announce to us that she was petrified at the thought of me  going on the ride. I assured my grandma by quickly informing her about all the safety aspects of the ride, to let us take our expedition to the next level but she refused to let us go, “What if the wire breaks?” were the words that my grandma repeated over and over again.

This situation gave my dad an idea to revisit Gold Fields, a place where people can go to pan for gold  to experience what it was like for the Chinese gold miners who lived in the forests inside houses made out of rocks and blankets.

After a short ten minute drive, we found ourselves at the  old Gold Fields - near Arrowtown. Almost immediately I was flashed back to my previous visit to Queenstown in

2014.

The compelling houses filled my head with a whole load of history, it expanded my brain! The engaging facts about the chinese immigration in the 1860’s were both interesting and arresting which increased my awareness of the hardship these early immigrants faced.

This made me commemorate the moment when I panned my first gold flake.  Sharing this experience with  my friends however, was a challenge that met with their disbelief!

Lady luck was with  my mum and grandma, who found three gold flakes. Their celebration of this fact, just about drove us all insane! Unfortunately even though I panned three times I did not find  one single flake of gold.

The three gold flakes ended our terrific day at Gold Fields but knowing that their is still more to find, I’ll be back.
