In LS2, we’ve been working on our vision board to show what our goals were for this year and in order, for me I wanted to learn more than I know, gain more confidence and self esteem, improve my soccer skills more, get better at my kapa haka performances, try to get into a club and at the end of the year, I want to get accepted to glendowie college.
Kia ora, my name is Kaleb, I am excited for my last year in LS2 and PBS. I wish to compete and participate in many sport competitions.
I expect to face a lot of challenges ahead and I am extremely hyped for year 8. My goal for 2026 is to gain more confidence and have more self esteem both in and out of my school.
As part of a challenge for the 2025 Summer Learning Journey, we had to come up with a dog concept featuring a unique device for buffs like super speed, a self cooling system, or a snack dispenser that is build in. My response was to make a Turbo Booster canine and equip it with wheels giving it more speed and mobility all being widely improved.
In the 2025 Summer Learning Journey in LS2, we did a task to create a leg for a elephant called “Mosha” which needed a new leg, we customized and designed a custom cast for him that was special.
For this 2025 Summer Learning Journey we answered some equations and questions and learnt about the new Zealand Centipede. I found interesting that there are about 3,000 species discovered around the world.
For this Summer Learning Journey, In LS2 we cut the paper into a spider web pattern, we folded the paper a certain amount of times and drew lines to know where to cut, then after we cut we got this beautiful spider web pattern.
For this 2025 summer learning journey, in LS2 we made a drawing of a spider and webs for a art design, this was for the task called “Art in the Web” which needed us to trace/draw a spider in it’s web and take a photo and publish to our blog.
In LS2 we made Dioramas about moments in time, I did Balloonfest 86 since this caught my attention on how balloonfest was setup and the different images I could’ve used, we used different types of heights to make it look 3d. The materials were very east to use and I enjoyed this alot!
We made a diorama and a Google video about a moment in time something happened in history, I chose to do balloonfest 86 in cleaveland in Ohio because it really caught my attention on how balloons broke a record but also how it caused a death of 2 people and were sued for millions later on.
In LS2 we were asked what would our dream be and what would be want our Job or career to be, I didn’t have much ideas but one came to mind, so I chose to be a game developer or tester of some sort on online.
If I really want to become a developer online then I would need I will need to know different skills and techs of games and will need a good setup, I will need to know how to code but I will mostly just play platforming games which are usually 2D games where you jump around platforms to avoid other obstacles. I would also try open world games which are like adventure games with a fully packed open experience to the world which lets you explore new places without extreme requirements.
If I were a developer I honestly won’t really be making games but I would like to be a tester or bug fixer of games from creators and start to recreate test servers for it and make sure hard things are possible and to write codes.
I will be doing it for around 9-12 hours a day and will be using my own room, I will start around 9am and end around 8Pm-10Pm but also I would have good pay if I was recognized as a average new new zealand game developer earns around a whopping $60,000 to $80,000 per year while experienced ones earns around $80,000 to $100,000+ per year while every hour they make around $33-$59.
