Measles Has Hit New Zealand!!

A lot of people in New Zealand have a tragic disease called measles.

Measles is a contagious disease that spreads easily. This disease is treatable but is most likely to go to young kids. It is important to get vaccinated at a local clinic to prevent this disease. This illness appears for only a couple of days or weeks.

World wide 937 people have had measles, but most of the people are from Auckland. We have had 778 cases.

Remember to get vaccinated to protect yourself from measles.

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.

Train That Can Go To Auckland From Hamilton.

Transport Minister  Phil Tyword announced the funding on Friday.

A lot of people will be funding money for this transport to come true. Some may want to go to visit  relatives, friends etc.

This will launch next year.

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.
