My Mums BirthDay

It was my Mums birthday on Sunday. On my Mums birthday we had made breakfast in bed for her and some coffee. Once my mum had finished her breakfast and coffee I gave her the cards and she laughed at mine, mine was pretty funny. At nine in the morning my Uncle Grandma and I went to go pick up my Grandad from the KeriKeri airport because he had to go away for work. Once we had gotten back home my Mum didn't feel well and we were going to go to the Noughty Penguin in Russell at 11AM. We didn’t go to the Noughty Penguin and I was looking forward to go there. My Uncle and I were going to do some bets there because there was a arcade there and we were going to see who could get the most wins. My Mum was starting to feel a little bit better so we went and I was really happy and glad that my mum felt better. This reminds me of when I went to the pub with my friend Blake in Australia.

  Have you ever been to the Noughty Penguin before in Russell?

The Hand Crafted Catapult

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing some EPro8.On Tuesday we had to make a catapult. We were split into groups of 4 and 3. When we were building we had to use kinetic energy and potential energy. potential energy is when the object stays still and the energy is stored in the ball and kinetic energy is when the object's energy is let out. We only had a limited amount of resources and we had to use bamboo sticks, rubber bands, tape,string, scissors,and a ping pong ball. My group were struggling a little bit with building the catapult. We had made the structure we just had no clue of what to do for the catapult. We were stuck in the pit. After a while we all started to talk to each other and came up with this really cool idea. Once we had thought of the good idea we took down our catapult just by pulling some sticks out and then we had made the bowl that will hold the ball. After a while we had finished our catapult and it worked really well but not as good as the others but we were happy with it. But next time we need to work on communication. Have you ever made a catapult before?

Hi my name is Hudson and I’m a year 7 student. I think your boat animation is super cool. I like how you made the waves move and how you have different colours for the wave. That must if been hard to make. I like how you designed your boat  with the yellow and red stripes on the side. I also really like how the waves in the front and in the back are dark blue and light blue.

How hard was it and how long did it take you to do it?

 

Lunch At Greens For Shavams Birthday

 In Te Ngahere we went to lunch at Greens for Shavams birthday. For lunch we had butter chicken which was super good but the food would be a little better if it was spicy in my opinion, we even got soft drinks. We all got chocolate eggs which I was not expecting at all because it wasn’t even our b-day, after we had been given our eggs there was a trolley full of eggs that would of cost a lot of money for does eggs. We all sang Shavam happy birthday and after that Jade and Angela presented Shavam a letter with everyone's names on it saying happy birthday. After that we all did some witch was fun and we were really loud people across the road could hear when cars were going past. 

Have you ever done something like that for anyone before?  

what we have been doing in maths

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing some maths. We have been learning  place value, jumping the number line and more.I’m in a group called circles. We were adding with decimals. Adding with decimals is quite easy the way we have been learning it. So you would have to draw a pyramid and draw some boxes. You would have to draw numbers in the boxes is well and work the equation out. Some of the questions were a little hard because some of the questions were missing numbers so we had to figure what is was and that was fun it gave it some more spice in it.

Have you ever added decimals the way we had to do it?   

 

Try two of taskmaster

Hi in Te Ngahere we have been doing taskmaster and were doing it again. On the second attempt I was the Drawer again. I think it was easier than the first one because we had more experience and they weren’t as loud as the first time the drawings was nearly the same as the first but it was different. The only thing that was challenging was were the drawings go. The runners tried using there noises and it kind of worked well but we stopped doing it 

Have you ever done taskmaster before?
