Descriptive Paragraph-Fireworks

Boom! A colorful substance flies into the sky making a loud noise, then not long after sounds of excitement start to appear. While watching it go ka-boom so many colors lit up the sky, it was beautiful indeed. Then we came across the biggest one of all, nervously burning the wick and running away. As soon as it flew up at that very moment our eyes opened as wide as a crocodile's mouth. With a taste of smoke in my mouth I agreed to not open my mouth while it was being lit, because trust me smoke doesn’t taste good at all.A hint of gunpowder flew up my nose.The loud sounds almost sounded like explosions from a war. Feeling the heat on my hands and arms, felt very relaxing because of its warmness. The flashes from the rectangular shaped box almost made me blind. Thrills filled the air, that was a very explosive night.

One-step addition and subtraction equation

This was a screenshot I took when i got 100% on my 1 step equation quiz. It was very easy doing this quiz because it was only addition and subtraction in this quiz. Next time I am hoping to do another quiz, one much more challenging.

Burgers and fries - Technology

This was the last day of tech, and we made burgers and fries. It was really fun making and shaping the meat patty. The burgers we made were huge, I couldn't fit my mouth around the burger to take a bite. These burgers were so yummy I am going to make them at home.

Simple machines - Storyboard strip

This is a storyboard strip I made about how I made my simple machine. For my simple machine project I made a scale with two pulleys. It really works,and I was glad to hear my teacher saying nice things about my homemade scale.

Matific

This morning my teacher told us to play matific. Matific is a maths game we play in the morning. At the beginning of the game it was really easy, but as we got to higher levels it got harder and harder. But some activities have really taught me new things, that I haven't learnt before.

Morning maths - Integers

In the morning I played a math game that our teacher set out for us. This was an easy game. I feel that this game wasn’t challenging for my mind and I wish to play a more challenging game next time.My knowledge on integers really has increased in these past few days. But playing this game I got a better understanding of subtracting and adding positive and negative numbers.

E Te Ariki - Maori lesson

At about 12:15 Ms Maude came to our classroom to teach us a maori song.  We learnt a song called E te ariki, and it was a hymn.  She comes every Tuesday to teach us maori, the maori word for hymn is himene.  It was really fun learning and singing this song, we had some laughs while learning it.  When Ms Maude comes back next week we are going to go over the song again and she is also going to teach us a karakia (Prayer).

Mince and cheese pie

Today at tech we finished the second part of our pie.  We melted the mince and cut out the pastry into a circle and filled our pie plates.  This was really fun, but we had a pastry malfunction. Our pastry got to soft and it got stuck to our chopping board. The pie was very delicious and I want to try and make this at home with my mum. I also got to decorate my pie a little bit.

Rounding off

This decimal game was really easy because I understood that I had to round off to four digits. So I found this game really easy to play, and here is my screenshot to show what I got after finishing this game.

Football skills

Football

Football is a well known sport from around the world.  It is played with eleven players and you you have to get it into the opponent's goal. The rules are simple, and it is played on a soccer field.  There are a lot of skills you need to learn before you start playing the actual game.

This morning my class and I went to the hall for a soccer lesson with our coach Steve.  He taught us some skills that you can use in the actual game. He taught us these following skills 1. Kicking/passing with your outer foot

2. Kicking/passing with your lace/inner foot

3. Kicking/passing with your sole

4. Putting your body between the ball and opponent

These are the skills he taught us, I know how to do some of them but I need more practise.

The only sport that I play is netball and the only way football can relate to netball is how in football you run and in netball you run too. So netball and football don’t have much in common and I can't really compare the two sports.

During our football lesson I had a lot of fun. So the aim of the first game we played was to kick someone else's ball out of the square and if it went out then they lost a point.  Then after that warm up game we played an actual mini game of football and he split us up into four groups and swapped us on and off.

Football is a very fun game to play and I am glad I got to learn a few skills from our coach Steve.  He has taught us some skills and I am willing to learn more next week when he comes for another teaching lesson.

Meat filling - Tech class,T3 W2

Today at tech we made our filling for our mince and cheese pie. To make the mince and cheese pie you have to make the filling first and then make the pastry for the pie, so you have two lessons during this process. While I was making the filling my eyes hurt really badly because I was the person cutting up the onions. I am so excited to make this pie, I think it is going to taste wonderful.
