Hello guys! It's Term 4 now. ... last term we faced a challenge, the aim of challenge was to make a 'car'  in a group, out of these materials: An empty bottle of milk One skewer 4 straws (2 big, 2 small) And 4 bottle caps ... also you can use drills, tape, hot glue and scissors, then see which car travelled the longest when let go on a ramp. Me, Ishaan , Tyson , and Nikhil were a group. At first, it was hard to agree on how to make the car. I had a brilliant idea, it's only little. But I thought that it was a great idea. So I told my other team members. They said it was a GREAT idea, I was happy. So we stick the straw with duck tape, it was Mr R's (My teacher) one, someone told us to ask Mr R but my other team members didn't agree. So I followed along with them. Then Mr R came along and told us to ask him first, 'I told you guys!' said the person who told us earlier. Ishaan made a final decision of putting two wheels close together, it wa

😄 Hi there. At this term we had the annual Athletics Day at the 2nd of November, it's part of our school curriculum. Also everyone is involved, including me! In Athletics Day, we move in rotations, categorised in Year groups. We could get points for our age and house groups, not those houses, I'll talk about what they are later.  There are loads of activities in Athletics, some are f u n , like fun throw, in my opinion. While some are boring . But that's not important, I'm just saying there are activities you rotate to, then eventually you'll come across most of them. I'm in the 10/11 year old boys, I'm 11, well, I turned 11.  The 400 metre run. Spoiler, not the 10-11 year old boys. The first thing we came across was the 400 metre run, I wasn't really sure if I was going to win. The 400 metre run is a running competition, there's a race track that continues straight forward, until it has curve, and also a cone. You HAVE to run around

Writing Tumble

Hi guys! Welcome to writing, my favourite subject! At the first week of this term, I wrote 2 descriptions and 1 story in a slideshow. We call it a writing tumble. In this writing tumble we basically describe the picture on the page. There are 5 pictures to write about. But you only have to write at least 3. You could pick a picture of your own but I don't think Waitemata did it. I didn't. Also they have titles. So to make a good writing and I try to do the most, make sure the writing is relevant. My favourite writing is the story because for me, writing stories isn't hard. My favourite writing is 'Invertebrate Calamity' because it's a story. I like writing stories. ...So my bet next time is to make it more it relevant to nature. The punctuation seems good to me and I organised it into paragraphs though. But otherwise it's really good. I have my other two writings, which are descriptions, the one called 'Mind on ruins' is my 2nd favourite, I tw
