Jellie Park

  Jellie park

Jellie park is a fun place to go to because it’s really hot some days. You can just go there and spend time with your family and have a BBQ.

At Jellie Park there is a really big slide called the hydro slide and there are little slides too.  Some areas of the pool are really deep especially for short people and little kids.

Jellie park can be a bit weird because there are going to be people there and they're gonna stare at you. You should be very careful when you are walking beside the pool because you might fall in.

Egg drop challenge

 Malo E Lelei,

Today we have done a egg drop challenge. We started this yesterday, We started making our creations. We made our creation out of Popsicle sticks,Rubbish bag, Sticks,Tape,little soft square things and also string.

Our egg cracked  little bit cause it fell out of the little box we made out of the little soft things. I think if it stayed in the little box it would have survived.  I think if we covered it more it would've survived.

Our idea for the creation was to make a pyramid and put the egg in the middle. There was a big whole in the middle so we put Popsicle sticks all around the big whole.

Here is a video of our egg dropping...

Thank you all for reading and watching. BYE!!!

Gravity

Talofa everyone,

Today we are talking about Gravity.  This week we have been learning about mars.  Here are the question about gravity.

Is gravity strong on other planets?

The gravity on Jupiter is better than on earth because Jupiter is bigger.

How is gravity related to mass?

A bigger planet with mass will have stronger mass.

Say you will weigh 30 ad you went to Uranus it will feel like you weigh 27.6. because you have so much weight on you. 

How would your life be different if you lived with higher gravity or low gravity?

I think is would be different because you wouldn't be able to walk around but you can fly around.

Holiday

Hello everyone,

Today I am going to be telling you guys what I have been doing in the holiday.

In the holiday I went on a cruise in the middle of nowhere. Once we found an area to stop we got hot. We got changed into our swimming togs, And as soon as we finished we ran and jumped into the ocean. It was so nice and cold. It was so nice and relaxing that I didn't even want to get out. 

The next day we woke up to heaps of breakfast there was Waffles , Pancakes, strawberry's and Hot chocolate. After breakfast we went into a room full of activities. I chose to make bracelets. At night we went down to the restaurant and had dinner. Then the next day we went back home. 

Market day

Malo E Lelei,

Today I am going to be telling you guys what we have done for  market day yesterday. My group and I made Poly foods such as Chop suey, Pani keke, Fry bread and Otai. Our business was a success because  most of the food were almost sold out. 

We made $170 profit. 3 things I Learned from B & E was that it's when you have too much customers. Some items sell out fast. It's hard to work alone. I would change how close the company's were. One thing that I liked about market day was that our food was selling out fast.

How Do Bees Make Honey?

Hi,

Today we have been learning about How bees make honey. Here is my information about Bees.

How do bees make honey?

Bees go around the world and visit 8 million flowers to make honey.

First  bees pollinate 3 quarters of fruit, veggies and nuts. When they find flowers they  dive in and slurp the nectar. They need  at least 1000 flowers so they can slurp the nectar and make honey. One bee hive has 50kg’s of Honey.

Next they go around the world and look for flowers to slurp their nectar. When they get back  to the hive they vomit it into other bees. While the nectar is in their stomach it turns into little broken pieces.  They collect nectar as much as possible.

Thirdly after they vomit in other workers they put it in a honeycomb and cover it with wax to keep it secure. Bees go around the world to find heaps of flowers  to collect nectar. Some bees aren’t that big so they don’t get that much nectar. The more nectar they get the more honey there's gonna be.

Honey is sweeter than candy, You should go and try some.

That's all for today...BYE!!

Dark Forest

Hi everyone,

Today I am going to be showing you guys what I have been doing for writing this week. For this weeks writing I have made a story about Two men getting lost in the forest. Here is my writing...

One fine evening two men decided to go for an adventure in the forest. Their names were Frank and Chris. In the morning Frank called Chris and asked him if he wanted to go for an adventure and Chris said “yea sure sounds great” Then Frank said i’ll come and pick you up then Chris agreed.

7 hours later Frank went to pick Chris up. When Frank got there Chris was already outside waiting. Frank yelled out his name and then he looked and said “coming”. Once Chris got into the car they started driving.

Once they got there they got off and started walking but they had no idea where they were going, they were just gonna go for a run and come back to the car. But once they ran into the forest they didn’t know where they were. Frank and Chris tried to go and find out where their car was but they ended up more far away from their car.

A few hours later they decided to just wait till morning. So they tried to make a little house but it was too windy. So they stayed close to each other all through the night. When the sun came up they woke up and started walking to see where their car was.

After 30 minutes of walking they saw their car so they ran to it. When they got there they went inside and were so happy. They immediately turned on the car and left. Once they got hope their wives were worried about them. The two men got hugs and had hot chocolate and also went to the hospital to see if they were alright.

The End!!

House Of Horror's

Hi everybody,

Today I am going to be showing you guys my narrative writing. There were 3 genres  it was fantasy,action and Horror. I have chosen Horror. Here is my writing....

 One bright morning, 3 triplets went for a walk in the forest because they all loved nature. On the walk they were hearing noises and they thought someone was following them so they walked faster and when they were almost out of the forest they saw an abandoned old looking mansion it was pitch black but they all decided to go inside to get help. Once they got inside the house, The door closed right behind them.

 While they were in the house they went for an explore. 1 hour later, They heard someone open the front door and quickly hid. Once that person opened the door he instantly knew there were people inside his house. So he looked everywhere except the guest bedroom. 5 hours later, Their mum was worried about them because they have been gone for a really long time.

At 3 AM the girls woke up and heard weird noises so they went to look for what it was. When they went upstairs the stairs were creaking. By the time they got to the top the old creepy man was awake. The 3 triplets got scared and started crying.The creepy old man’s name was Eric. When Eric saw the girls he had a big creepy smile like he wanted to kill them.

Soon later the girls went up the attic and it looked like their eyes were about to pop out. What the girls saw was terrifying. The girls have seen lots of dead people being hung all around the attic. The old creepy man Eric woke up and walked into the attic and saw the girls and tried to kill them but the girls dodged him. Once they were out of the attic they ran for the door but it was locked and they didn’t know but Eric had a wife she was a nun she looked like an evil nun. The nun was staring at the girls while sitting on a rocking chair. She said “YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE” then she laughed. 

The girl's mother was getting paranoid so she called the police but they wouldn’t send anyone to search for her daughters so the mother paid two private investigators to look for her girls. The next month the two investigators had some information and heard they went for a walk in the forest so they went into the forest and saw an abandoned old looking mansion and thought that the girls would be there so they got their guns prepared and then walked in and saw the 3 girls tied up and two old people sitting on there rocking chairs. After a minute staring at them they started shooting and then in a matter of seconds the two old creepy couple were dead. Then the 3 girls were free to go home. Once their mother saw them she started balling. Also They were frightened to sleep by themselves so their mother let them sleep with her.

THE END   

That's all for today hope you enjoyed it, Please comment if you have feed back that can help me do better. BYE!!

Amazing work I have been doing for maths

Aloha,

Today I am going to be showing you guys what I have been doing for maths. For maths we have been learning about what the word middle means in a maths way. The meaning of middle is lots of thing like,midpoint,midsection,halfway and core.  With counters Mr Mitchell asked some volunteers to grab specific colours than he said everyone stop except one girl she was the only one allowed to keep grabbing it. After that she stopped, Mr Mitchell then asked some volunteers to come up and put it in a straight line also highest to lowest. Then we had to go and grab a white board and we had to write down the definition of Mean,Median and Mode. Here is a photo of the definition.
