Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs Barys Nur Sultan game 5 recap

Hello, I’m Ben and I’m here to recap the hockey game between Metallurg and Barys.

The match played between Metallurg Hockey Club and Barys Hockey Club was game 5 of the first round of the KHL playoffs! The KHL is basically like the NHL but in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Puck drop was at 6 AM PT so I had to wake up fairly early to watch my favourite team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk play, but that’s not the worst. Lots of Metallurg’s games are played at 1 AM and 3 Am but I still stay up to watch them.

So now to the game. Magnitogorsk was the 3rd seed in the conference so they matched up against Barys, the 6th place team so I thought we would have beat them easily, especially after a dominant 7-4 game 1 win. But after that they just didn’t look as sharp, they haven’t been playing that bad but Barys just looked like they wanted it more so my confidence going into yesterdays game was not high, and the fact that we were coming off a disappointing 4-2 game 4 lose didn’t help. But the game still had to go on. 6 o’clock comes around and the puck drops and 2 minutes in captain Sergei Mozyakin got Magnitogorsk on the board giving them an early 1-0 lead. Magnitogorsk was buzzing after the good start and were putting the pressure on. Not to long after, Nikolai Prokhorkin pushed the lead up to 2-0. Metallurg was playing amazing. The period ends with the good guys up 2-0.

The second period also had a strong start with Magnitogorsk getting a lot of shots and hit the post on one of the but couldn’t put the puck in the net. I was getting hungry at this point so I went to grab some cereal and I come back to it being 3-1 Magnitogorsk. Since I didn’t see those goals I can’t really say if they were good or what even happened on the play. Now right as I’m settling back into my seat Canadian Taylor Beck fires a puck past the Barys goalie making it 4-1 for the good guys!! Then a minute later a shot from the top of the circles takes a few bounces and makes it 5-1 for Metallurg!!! Barys made a goalie change after this.

Not much happened in the 3rd so Magnitogorsk gets a big 5-1 win putting them up 3-2 in the series giving them a chance to move on to the next round on Friday at 5:30 AM in Nur Sultan!

I think that was a great game and a huge confidence builder for the team after a few poor games. I think they have a great chance to end the series on Friday!

thank you for reading and go Metallurg!!!!

Festivities

Hey I’m Ben and I’m going to talk about festivities that go on at my house.

This of course, is the festivities of Super Bowl Sunday!! Every year my family put everything aside to make sure we can watch it even if our teams aren’t playing. We bake a cake, tape the logo of the team we are cheering for on our shirts if our favourite teams aren’t playing, we order pizza and wings, and make a question sheet on what we think will happen in the game. Once when I was 6 I got the most questions right at a party and got a MASSIVE bag filled with Skittles!

THE CAKE

every year my mom makes a delicious cake for the super bow! The cake is shaped like a football and we put both teams names on it and what super bowl it is! However, this year we only put Tampa Bay on it because I am a HUGE Buccaneers fan and requested that there would be no Chiefs on it.

Ingredients:

Butter

sugar

eggs

vanilla

chocolate or cocoa powder

flour

baking powder

salt

milk

I don’t know the measurements but that is what we put in it!

How it started how its going post

Guess who’s back, back again, that’s right I’m back with another blog post and if you don’t know me my name is Ben and I’m an 8th grade student in Seycove’s PLP program. I’ll stop talking about me now and start talking about the most recent project!

Another project has come to an end for the PLP 8 class. This one was on worldview and how events from the past effect our worldview today. The driving question was “what can we learn from the past and how does that matter to use today?” I feel what went wrong in the past really effects us now. Maybe if slavery never happened it could still be going on today!

This project was fairly short but we did go through a lot of milestones and steppingstones.

First we made a “how it started how its going” meme. This is not the meme we would end up using in the museum though. Here is mine:

Then we went onto Google Arts and Cultures and took notes on the artworks. We looked at the colours, people, clothes (or not clothes in some occasions) and made a MindNode to organize our notes. This is what mine looked like:

Now I’m going to talk bout my favourite milestone. Milestone 2. For this milestone, we had to make a collage on our worldview! We thought of events that had happened in our lives that impacted your worldview. For example, I chose my trip to Arizona because it was the first time going to an US state that wasn’t Washington or Oregon, that would be under the aspect of geography. One of the rules for this is that we had to use our own photos, so we couldn’t take one off the internet. The photo had to be taken by you or drawn by you. I found that easy because most of my events were sporting events I went to.

Then we started about the medieval and Renaissance times. Honestly, I didn’t find is as interesting as some other people. I just found it kinda boring and not as exciting, it was all the same in my opinion. The only time it got interesting was when the christians and muslims fought for the holy land. I though that was pretty cool. A bunch of people took off on horses going out to try to kill other people!?! I thought it was epic. While learning about this, we were taught how to use cornel notes. Using our notes we wrote a test on a past event in the Renaissance or medieval time.

After the test, we were put into 7 groups, 1 for each aspect of worldview. We were separated by what aspect you wrote your test on, I wrote about society, so I was in the society group. The first thing we did in these groups was make a short story by using art we thought best represents our aspect. We had to use a certain story spine for writing the story:

After the story we got to creating the meme, now you’re probably thinking “didn’t y’all already do a meme?” Well yes but this is the final meme. For the final meme, we found a piece of artwork from the medieval or Renaissance times again, it could be the same one from the story, but most people decided to change it. Once we chose our piece of art, we had to edict our face on it ad make it more modern! Here is how mine turned out:

After all of this work, we put our art in a museum and had a big launch over Zoom! We also put our collages in a book!

EVIDENCE OF LEARNING

Before this project, I had no clue that online museums were a thing. Not only did I learn that they, well, exist, but I also learned the process of making one.
