Skip Off!

Next Friday skipping will begin. I am excited to see who can skip the longest without stopping. I mostly want to see what other classes have planned for their skipping display.

Our class has started practicing for the skipping display. On the day parents will come and watch their children skip.

I hope it doesn't rain.

Tech!

Today at tech I started on my board. I have changed my decision to do noughts and crosses because there wasn't  much time to do ludo.

For my board  I Made it smooth with 100 sand paper and brushed of the dust with a sweeping brush. After I attached the wood together with super glue, it took 15 minutes for the glue to dry.

I hope my game turns out great.

Wellingtons Art Gallery Gets a New Sculpture!

The sculpture is  called Quasi,This was designed by an artist named Ronnie Van Hout. This is about 5 meters tall.

The sculpture is a hand with a serious hand in the middle. The sculpture was on Christchurch's art gallery but now its in wellington.

I think the sculpture looks good and others will love it to.

Tech!!

At tech we started smoothing our  deign with sand paper so it can be soft. I decided to help Sione, Joanlisi and Agueer with there game because they had a lot to do. I exported my tinker card design to the teacher so she can make it 3d. When she is done I will soon start painting them in different colours.

I will need to make my dice and a few things three d before we move clases. I hope I can finish early.

Kayaking

On Friday we went to Wero Whitewater Park. The activity we were participating in  was kayaking, I was indeed excited to go kayaking because I have never experienced it before.

The instructor explained to us how to use a paddle facing the right way when your in the
water. First he arranged us in our heights so we were able to fit our boat. 

 As soon as we received our kayaking boats I started feeling  nervous because I didn't want anything bad to happen. When we got in the water I instantly fell out the water because I was rowing the paddles to hard.

I hope I get the chance to go kayaking again.

Poem!!

On Friday we did poems. Mr Reid choose me and six other students. My poem was about life and the meaning to it. I was really nervous to do my poem in front of a lot of students but I managed to calm down.

When it was almost my turn I got really shy but I stood up there and did my poem . I mumbled a little bit but got through it.

When I revived my certificate I
felt proud that I did well.

Tech!!

Today at tech Mrs Ferguson started to create our games with the 3d print. Before we start making it 3d we had to visualize how we wanted to create it ad try make it come to life. 

I found out that if we wanted to make it 3d we had to put each set of shapes on another design. Mine is going to take a long time because I have 16 small pieces and big board.

 I hope I finish by the end of this term.

Glass Cracks On the Sky Towers Building

Apparently the Glass deck at the sky tower where people walk on to get a good point of view was unexpectedly cracked.

There are three platforms layers of glass. The one at the top has been cracked. The glass will be fixed so none is allowed to visit the area.

I hope they get this fixed as soon as possible so people can observe our land
