Science Week 1

This week we started a sience block with each kiako.My favourite block was with matua travis and his sience was newtons law wich is if you dont know what newtons law it is gravity.In matuas group we got items wich were a black ping pong ball a red cup and thesse octagon looking things that was our items. what we did with our items is you had to put your ping pong ball on your table and put your cup over it and you had to use a way to try and move your cup to another table but your ball has to stay in your cup but you cant hold it you cant squeeze it so the ball stays in the cup so it was very hard. My team which was Oasis Ihia Oliver and me Johno found out a way so the ball can stay in the cup and the way was you had to spin the cup and it will stay in the cup but you had to keep spinnig it otherwise it will just drop out of the cup so it was very challenging for my team. Then matua got a basketball and a ping pong it he asked us a question he said wich ball would drop faster most of the pepole said the basketball would touch the ground first becuase of the weight diffrence and the pingpong ball was light and then when he had dropped the ball they touched the ground at the same tim and that made everyone shocked becuase they all thought that the basketball was going to touch the ground first but all of us were wrong becuase they both touched the ground first. And the reason why i like matuas becuase i always like doing somthing that i havent done and that is why i liked matuas group the most.

Softball

I think that softball is a good action station becuase some of the pepole that havent played softball will be good learning for them and they also will know how to play a diffrent game.I didint really learn anything in this action station becuase thesse are all of the basics of the game softball that is why i didint learn anything.I enjoyed it becuase i actually play softball and softball is one of my favourite sports that is why i enjoyed this sport.We found challenging finding that ball that noah threw over the fence and made a dent on the roof that is what we found challenging.My favourite part was playing stuck in the mud and catching the balls to get them out and to stop the ball from going past me.I would choose softball next term becuase it is one of my favourite sports.

Harold life education.

At harold on the 10th of april we were learning about the body and how it works through the day and night.We learnt about the blood and how it flows through your body that was the blood part there is a lot more stuff trust me with that. Second is the skelton and did you know if you dont have a skelton then you would just be a blob sitting on the ground doing nothing.The second part about the skelton is that if you break one bone then that bone that you broke will not even flinch even if you try your hardest that will just make it worst. Now the lungs if we didint have any trees or plants or anything that gives you oxegyn then it will be like your going on to mars becuase you will not be able to breath. and lastly your basic needs are like water,oxegyn,love,food,washing,shelter thoose are your basic needs so if you dont have basic needs then you wont have a very great life and body.

Action station

last week we started a action station with a lot of fun stuff and games like basketball softball kia rahi and more.For my pick i chose softball my favourite part about it was the game that we played to learn our throwing and our base running.

something i didint like was when i was in the batting group and i didint get to have a bat and i had to go to the passing and catching drill.

something i learnt was bigger space when i am running to the base.something that i didint understand was nothing but at the start of the game i didint know how to play it.

Beach ed

Kia ora ko Johno toku ingoa

 

On Tuesday the 20th the yr 6,7,8 went to north Brighton beach to learn some beach safety.

My favourite part was when we went to play a game. If you were a nonswimmer playing a game called up buddies it is when the lifeguard says a word and you have to go under switch run and up which means you go up on your buddy’s back.My least favourite part was when you had to run and dive for the stick in the sand because it hurt my stomach.

Top team

This term on week 7 we did  top team we had to compete in all of the challenges. There were 9 tasks there was gutter ball noughts and crosses and many more. My favourite challenge was tower building I dont know what is was actually could so im just calling it tower building in tower building we had to fill a bucket up with water and put some cones on the wood circle and put m0re cones on top and put the water bucket on top and we had to drag it to another bucket and pour as much water as we can into the bucket. my teams strategy was put half of the bucket ful of water and then put two pepole on each rope so it was easier to carry and then we dragged it back and had to do it over and over as much times as we can.

The boat mystery.

One day a mum was playing football out in her private house and her private football field but then when  she got tired and went to go get a rest but while she was resting  and  she was about to go outside  and then she heard a smashing sound and when she went to go look she saw a dead body and she doesn’t know how it got here since her house is so far from the other houses so she called her security to come and get the body. then  she looked for some stuff that was by the dead body. she looked for a while and she couldn’t find anything until she looked out of the broken window and she found a mask that she thought was from the killer but then she looked  in her cameras she  saw that no one threw  it in her house and nobody was near or by the dead body she looked and it looked  like someone threw something at the window and that,s how they made the glass break and he fell in to the window on accident. but the lady doesn’t know how it got there so she spent so long on her cameras she didint want to go to football training because she was to tired but then she saw a boat behind him and maybe he was running from someone and thats why he broke the window. so  she went on her boat and started to look for that boat that was chasing him so she looked she brang 3 pairs of banocuulers for her security and her. 30 mins later she saw the same boat that was chasing the man so she started to the boat the boat was but she got him and then she asked why were you chasing the man and why did throw something at the window he said becuase he was a undercover police and the guy he was chasing  robbed a bank and she said okay have a good day.
