Dungeon boss!


My latest favorite game I have so far is Dungeon Boss. Dungeon boss is a roll playing game (RPG) where you upgrade your heroes as much as possible to defeat the increasingly difficult dungeons. This game is my favorite because I really like the characters you can get from the summons or tokens and the game play. There is also a mode where you can try to raid other peoples dungeon. This can earn you honor scrolls that you can buy summons and specials with. You can also get friends on the game and you can use their profile character once a day!
Those are the reasons why this is my favorite game from the app store.
Bye, and see you next week!

Jobs

This week we were told to write about our ideal job. Since I can't really think of one now I'll just write about a job I wanted as a little boy.

When I was a little boy I wanted to be a paleontologist because I was very enthusiastic about dinosaurs.

I don't actually know much about paleontology except you dig up fissilised bones but I think you'll have to study geology in highschool to learn more about it.

I think if you are really keen on being a paleontologist but are to young you should just try your luck and go digging in the beach or while going on a tramp.

That's it for this week folks!
See you next time on 'Joshua's Blog'!
What job would you like?

Wet n' wild, Gold Coast

Hi guys!

I'm back again to write about an event that happened to me in the school holidays.

In the holidays my family and I flew over to the Gold Coast in Australia. We went to a bunch of attractions including Australia Zoo, Dream World and Movie World but today I'm going to talk about Wet n' Wild.

Wet n' Wild is a water park in Australia which has some really cool rides and even has it's own wave pool! some of the rides I enjoyed most was the Black Hole, the Tornado, Constrictor and Mammoth Falls!

Here are some descriptions of the rides listed above.

Black Hole
The Black Hole is a water slide that has a series of twists and turns on it's way down. To top it off it's also almost pitch black.

The Tornado
The Tornado is probably one of the more intense-starting rides in the theme park. It starts off with a slow   u-turn followed by a steep slope into a large diagonal funnel which your floating ring along with you toss and turn to the end.

The Constrictor
The Constrictor is basically a large water slide with 3 around 360 degree turns in a floating ring.

Mammoth Falls
Mammoth Falls is the fourth and final ride I'm going to talk about. This is probably also going to be my most simple ride to explain. You're in a floating ring going down a very twisty water slide.

Well, that's it for today folks! See you next time on Joshua's blog!

P.S If your wondering why there are no pictures in this post it's because I couldn't find any good ones.

Artist

Hello!
This week we have been told to blog about an artist. I chose Vincent Van Gogh.
The artworks I have chose to blog about are:

Starry Night

I chose this artwork because I liked it. It  looked pretty cool and I remember doing a collage of this artwork some time ago. I find that it looks peaceful and must have taken a lot of time.


The next artwork I chose was his self portrait without an ear. I don't know why he did this but I know this is the only self portrait I know of with only one ear.

Well, that's all I can think of to say.
Until next time!

Sports Fest is over :(

So now that the Sports Fest is over I can tell you a little bit about .
As you might have read my second to latest post you would have known that I was in the Basketball team. The thing is we ended up getting seriously thrashed by the 3 other teams we faced.
The first team we faced we lost around 11-48 but I got I hoop. They were the easiest.
The next team we faced was a bit harder.
The last team we faced were sort of bad sportsmen. (I'm not going to say what they did).I still got 1 hoop.
Overall it was a fun day and I got an ASB drink bottle!

Poems

There once was a snail called dale
Who liked to deliver mail
He made a mistake
Then got hit by a rake
And now he's turning all pale

There once was a pug called Doug
Who had an over-sized mug
He pooed in a shoe
Then did a big spew
And now he needs a new rug

There once was a locked up door
That was next to the slightly burnt floor
Dan unlocked the latches
Just to find burning matches
Now he knew what the door was for

There once was a pig called pork
Who traveled all the way to New York
He saw Liberty
And then laughed he he
Shouldn't she be holding a spork

There once was a man called Bot
Whose nose was running with snot
He wiped some snot off
Then checked in a trough
And said, hey I missed a spot

There once was a boy called Lockie
Who was a bit of a moxie
At 12 o'clock flat
He put on his hat
And said Mum, we need to go for a walkie

My favorite poems I have posted up there are numbers 2 and 4.
I like these poems because I like the style of limericks and the way that the last line is meant to be humorous. Numbers 1 and 2 were the ones I started off with, then I just thought of the other ones randomly when I was doing a blog post. I also like them because they are simple and easy to make up. What's more is that they're short and sharp. I find them very fun and enjoyable!

If you have some limericks you'd like to share, you can comment below!

See you next time! (Not really 'cause I can't really see you through the screen) :p

Waiting for the anual Sportsfest!

The thing that I waiting for is coming soon! It's the annual Sportsfest!         
Another thing on my mind are how can I help my team play better and have more fun on the day?
I heard that raroa school students are apparently really good at basketball so I figured that our team practicing lots would improve our confidence and skills a lot.
I recently have sort of gained the ability to shoot 3 pointers and I have gotten a bit better at doing lay-ups. I hope all the teams do really well in the Sportsfest.

Good luck teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
