Term 2 Week 3
Hello!
This week I've decided to train for cross country.
It's really fun, and if I were to run around a 400m track, I can do it in 1.24 minutes!!
That's my best on 400m, but when I run 3km, I can only run it in 15 minutes. So that's been great.
I'd have to say reading is the most fun, because who wouldn't want to make a catapult out of lego or make a fake text between two characters in a story?
To stay in touch with our teachers, we have this app called 'Zoom' it's pretty much an app where you invite people to a video call and chat about stuff in / or not in lockdown. And I'd have to say it's a lot less laggy then some other video call apps. I'm looking at you Google Duos!!

Week 1 Term 2
Hi,
It was Easter earlier this week, so I just want to talk about it.
I woke up to be told that my Mum had hidden my Easter egg and I had to find it. Which was okay but the clue I got wasn't the best 'what do you use in summer?' is what I got. My brother; Jacob was a bit lazy so he just wanted his egg straight forward without having to find it. My sisters; Catherine and Hayley got extremely easy clues: It's under the tree near the elephant & near the tool box. They both found theirs in two seconds flat. Me however, had some trouble. I eventually found it on the bbq, under the lid. Which, doesn't really go with 'what do you use in summer?' as a clue. Well anyway, after that we went on a refreshing 5 km walk. Then we just enjoyed the rest of the day.
I've been kind of struggling with my work, since doing work at home doesn't feel very natural. Anyway, I'm kind of getting through my work so it's all good.

Week 8 Term 1
Hello,
For maths we've been doing something called 'Problem Solving' you get into groups and you get given a hard problem which you need to solve with your group. We only do that on Wednesdays and Thursdays though. On Mondays and Tuesdays we either do a Workshop to learn something new in maths, play Mathletics, or do Maintenance.
For R.E. we are doing a Lent strand. We have been learning about

First Blog of 2020
Kia ora!
Hi again, it has been a while. This is my first post for the year, so I hope you like it!
This years theme for the school will be change. So at lunchtime, the teachers go around giving 'changemaker' awards. If you get one, you leave it in a bucket so that in assembly, year 8s will dip their hand in the bucket and if they pull out your name, you go up and get a $2 dollar award. This could be a fancy pencil, a stationary kit, bookmark, stickers, etc. It's really funny because when the year 8s go up they're in a caterpillar or butterfly costume showing 'change' in how the caterpillar became a butterfly.
We started a reading activity called Chapter Challenge. It's a cool activity where we listen to a book or a read the book and then, from that, we do activities based on the story like; draw a mechanical horse, make a catapult, do research on old money called sovereigns, write a new song for a character to sing, etc. THEN once you've done that, on Friday you go onto Twitter and post all your work for a few other schools to see. Of course, the other schools post work as well for you to look at. And, that's really the gist of it. Here's a piece of my work:
It's a catapult made from K'nex bricks. It was one of the many activities.
We had swimming sports, that was a bit of fun although, I'm not a swimmer. Luckily I got to the finals in freestyle, but my streak of luck died and I didn't get to zones.

Science Show
Hi!
Yesterday these people came in a big truck to show us about science!
It was super fun! My favorite thing they showed us was a glass ball with a certain type of ore in the middle of it that was radiating static electricity. If you touched the ball, all the electricity would go to where you touched it. It was so cool!
So... yeah! It was a blast seeing all the science!

Marshmallow Challenge!
Hello!
Today we did an epic challenge where you get uncooked spaghetti and sellotape the spaghetti together to make a structure, then you put a single marshmallow at the very top to mark how big it is. You only got 15 minutes to do all that though!
I was with Nicholas & Mathew. They were a big contribute to the team and super good teammates!
We got a metre string, a metre sellotape, 20 sticks of uncooked spaghetti and a marshmallow. Starting out it was good, but it kept falling over so we restarted, before realising we only had 3 minutes lefta!! We quickly tried to make a new design but it flopped :(
Here's a picture of us working:
