Welcome back guys! The blogging challenge is officially back and let me tell you, I am incredibly exited! This is my second year doing the blogging challenge and I encourage you all to check out my about page. Today I will be talking all about avatars!

No, not that kind of avatar. This kind of avatar:

That’s me! If you guys have read my about page you should know that for 1, I am a teenager and 2, I love pandas! I wrote a post about them for last years blogging challenge. That is why you see a panda there in my avatar, I just had to include one. I will almost always chose comfort cloths rather than fashion which is why you see my avatar, in a sweater. Not only that but I live in Vancouver, so you know rain. I do wear glasses. I have always been a huge bookworm and turns out reading late at night with a bad lighting source isn’t good for your eyes.

I hope you guys have learned a little something about me and have fun on the blogging challenge! Feel free to comment as I’m always will reply as soon as I can!

 

Hi guys, sorry for not posting for a while, I am back! In this post I am talking about whether or not I would recommend the Blogging challenge to other people for week 10 of said blogging challenge. The answer to this is…

 

I think that this is a great way to socialize and learn about other people. You can also share about yourself, because you don’t only need to post about the blogging challenge. It is also just really fun, because in each week there are different tasks that you need to complete and you learn a lot about different topics.

 

I certainly learned stuff, like why the sky is blue (yes, I didn’t know why), or that emojis are a universal language, or how to create a GIF.

This week the theme for the blogging challenge was coding. For my hour of code, I did the mine craft coding challenge. I also did the flappy bird one, but it was outside of the hour of code so I won’t talk about it that much. I find coding very fun and easy to do if you follow the correct steps but can be frustrating if you make a mistake, because you have to go through all of your coding to find out where you went wrong and it can be very time consuming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that coding is very cool and can be useful if you are looking for a job in that industry. I personally am not, but I still think that it is a useful skill to have and is good to know in day to day life with all of the technology we are using in our lives.

 

 

 

Above you can see, the comment I left for Alex. I was curious about some ways to get into the coding industry. I have yet to receive a reply but when I do, I will be sure to update so you can all see. Overall I think that the major thing that I learned is how to code and some of the benifits of learning. I hope that you have learned something and until next time!

Hi guys. Happy holidays! For this weeks challenge I decided to decorate my blog! I also made a GIF that you guys can see in the featured image. You can make these by searching brush ninja. It is very easy to use and if you need any help you can find a instruction video below.

 

Hi guys, I’m here today to talk to you about week 6 of the student blogging challenge, science! Let’s get right into it! my driving question was why the sky is blue, or at least to our eyes.

Turns out, the sky is blue on a cloudless day because Molecules in the air scatter more blue light than red light that they get from the sun. If you want to get more scientific, blue light is scattered more because it travels as shorter and smaller waves than other colours. When you look toward the sun at around sunset, the reason that you see yellow or orange is because the blue light is being pushed out of the way. The ocean actually works the same way as the sky does when we are talking about why its blue. However, in the oceans case, instead of molecules in the air pushing it out of the way, the water absorbs the other colours while it reflects the blue because of their wave frequency’s.

Want to learn more? Check out the video below!

 

In this video they go over what I talked about and why the sky is blue and they explain in a little better than I do. They also talk about what colour the sun is, why clouds are white, and why the ocean is blue.

Did you learn something new? Comment down below!

Who doesn’t love emoji’s? I certainly do. Hi guys, it nice to talk again. Today I want to show you a few things I’ve made out of emoji’s, for this weeks challenge. I decided that I would make a few quizzes out of emoji’s. can you solve them? If you can make sure to comment below!

Question 1:

If 🤦‍♂️ times 💇‍♀️= 20

And 🙇‍♂️+🤦‍♂️=10

what would 💇‍♀️ be if 🙇‍♂️ was 6?

Question 2:

👘👘+🎩=18

🎩+🎩=28

👘+👟=22

👟👟+🎩🎩🎩+👘=?

Question 3:

👬+🧥=16

🧵+🦈=12

👬+🦈=10

👬+👬=14

🦈+🐾=?

Extra quiz ( not in emoji’s)

Chose a number between 1-10

Double it

Add ten

Half it

Take away the number you started with

Is your new number 5?

(If you did not get 5 you did the math wrong)

Hi there! We are getting into the start of week five and I was thrilled when I heard that there was an option to do a book review! As you probably guessed , that’s what I’m going to be talking about today!

My current favourite book is one called “The Devil’s Workshop” (TDW) by Alex Grecian. Alex Grecian is the author of “the Yard” (TY) which is a bestselling novel and also happens to be the prequel of “the Devils Workshop”. You don’t actually need to read TY before TDW though because it makes sense whether or not you read TY. I read TDW first which then introduced me to TY.

The Devils workshop is set about one year after Jack the Ripper’s rein and is about what would happen if Jack the Ripper was actually caught, but not by the police. Instead he was caught by an origination who believes in a different kind of justice which involves the criminal being put through what their victims felt. In this sense Jack the Ripper was caught and was tortured for about a year. This story started when that very organization planned to “move” 4 convicts to an their place of retribution. This is where they are holding Jack the Ripper captive. Their plan goes awry and ends with 4 convicts on the loose. The police get involved to try and capture these villains. One of the main detectives on the case, Detective Day Walter, is families with one of the convicts because he was the first criminal Day caught. Consequently, this convict knows where Day lives and now he is trying to catch all 4 criminals before one of them kills his pregnant wife.

If you enjoy murder mysteries or you are interested the third book is the harvest man:

I would give this book a 5/5. I think that the author does a great job with using words in a way that keeps the readers on their toes and keeps the pages turning. It really depicts Jack the Ripper as this crazy and dangerous criminal and I think that that was incredible. He also managed to write the book while changing to different perspectives and still keeping the book on track and relevant. This is an amazing book that I highly recommend but I would like to warn readers that some of the details in the book are a bit gruesome so this book is for a mature audience. Please keep this in mind if you would like to read the book. If you do read it please leave a comment down below on what you thought about the book. I will close with a poem from the book:

 

Push me down and shut my box,

And twist my arm about.

And listen to my merry tune.

I’ll soon be coming out.

 

Push me down again, dear Childe,

I’m safely hid away.

But I’m not gone; it wont be long

Till Jack comes out to play.

-Rupert Winthrop, “Jack In the Box,” from

London Town Rhymes for the Nursery (1893)
