Last week of term/ week 11

I'm back from camp and I must say it was amazing. We had a water slide and I went down it really fast twice! There was also air rifling, go carting, BMX track, and the most dangerous, the trollies. My favourite was the go carts I have ones like them at my mums house, but these ones went even faster than the ones at my place. We also got to do team building exercises and one of them was really hard. You had to get your whole team across to the middle and then to the other side. At first we kept trying  the same thing, but then we found out that it wasn't working. So we set up an other one and tried making shoes out of the eight bits of wood we had. Some people got carried across, but most of us wanted to do it ourselves. Then we played predator and prey. The people with green ropes had to run away from everyone, blue could tag yellow and green, and yellow could tag green. Then there was the five fastest runners and they could tag any one! On the last night of camp most of the kids that came on camp wanted to stay another night but sadly we couldn't.
And that's the end of the term. You will have another blog up date next term.
See you!

Week 10

This week in Tec arts I finally learnt how to use the drill that makes the wheels, and now I have learnt how to put the sides onto the bottom. To do this you measure the bottom up and then you, or the teacher cuts it up. Then you get the glue and line up the side to the bottom and stick it on. Now the glue can't hold the truck together by itself so we put nails in just to make sure that it's secure. This week we started geometry and what I thought I knew it turns out I didn't. So far I have learnt to draw a triangle using a compass and a ruler. I have learnt to bisect an angle which I think is pretty fun. Again I'm in the lower maths group, but I just need a bit more help than others.

Next week I will be on camp so there will either be a blog post on Tuesday, or the Friday I get back from camp.  

Week8&9

Week8:
This week was only four days and we only got one session of tec arts (we finished the week one Thursday). We started our reading questions that we have to complete before we go on camp. This week in tec arts we sanded and cut out parts for our trucks and also made some wheels. We also started a piece of writing that is due the first week back term two.

Week9:
This week in tec I got most of the things done that I needed to get done. I got the template cut out, the windows cut out, I made the grill for my truck, sanded the truck I'm making, and I'm still trying to get my wheels cut out. Also this week we had inter house summer games. I got into doge ball, but there was also non-stop cricket, out door bowls and lots of others. 

Week7

This week I had a geometry test and remembered most of my geometry. Also this week I learnt how to cut out the front template of a wooden truck, sand and file it, and also make wheels for it. Although I didn't get all of it done I got a fare amount done. This week the makuhari  students left on Thursday morning. Also we had a revision test on number.
