did I go to zones?

On the 24th of October we went to Rawhiti domain to do our athletics. The people on the news said it was going to rain, but it was nice in the morning so we went to athletics. When we got there we went to shot put. My first throw was 5.6m so it was not the best but we had two throws. My next one was 6.9m so I think I came second so I might be going to zones. High jump was next so I was happy. I love high jump. I jump with my left leg so I am on the left side and everyone on the right went first so I had to wait for a bit. Then it was my turn. I thought it was easy but it was hard. I did not make my first jump but we had two jumps and I got the next one. I was so happy. There were 12 people who did that jump with me. If you did not do the jump you had to watch us do it. I did not do the first one but I did the next. I was on to the third jump which I did not make. Next it was discus. I was not the best at discus I came 5th with 11.6m. At that time it was getting dark with rain clouds but we did long jump. I do not know what place I came but it was not the best. Then it was time to eat but then I could feel rain drops on my arm. Then the rain was coming down as fast as it could so we had to race to get on the bus to come back to school. That was my day at athletics.

Have you done athletics and what part do you like?

my art

On the 18 of October we did some art, we had to look at Gordon Walters to get inspire by his art. We look at his art and then we did same art. First I did same shapes, like a circle and squares and put them beside each other and did same more shapes. Then we did the colours. I only coloured in the shapes that I did. Then i got a black pen and went over the lines in back so it pop out. It took a long time but that was that.

Have you down art what was it?

My Waka Adventure

There I was, sitting in the waka. There were people everywhere at least 50 people I look be hide me there was 9 waka's. I said to someone" where are we going? what am I doing here?" then he said" we our going to find a new island" then we walk away. After that I think for a minute they most have fishing nets to catch fish the fishing net was made out of flax and the hock was carved from bones.

 The people on the wake was strong and brave to travelling to island that they did not know where they was going we might not even make it to the place that we are going to we might go in a circle and end up where we started. We where a few hours in and I was getting hungry so I was going to get some cake but I said to myself cool only fish so I cook up some fish  and that was that

4 months in I was getting used to being on the waka but I had sore bones for doing nothing but walking around the waka. But then I head some birds singing so we most be close but one of the man said" the birds that you can hear that means that we are getting close but people say that you can hear the birds from 5 metres away so we are getting there but not that close". This is cool I wonder if there is other people on the island I hope not we might be the first people there. Then I saw the green trees so high and the birds was ever where it was beautiful there was two islands. When we got there was a big hill. Boom! we hit the sand my legs sore I was wobbling off the boat. I got my heavy bag off the boat when we went up the hill there was a swap with flat land that was the best land that we hope for. After 1 year living there we made the name Christchurch.

Would you want to be on a waka that long and why? 

are PBL ivention convetion

On the 25th of September we had our invention convention. The invention convention is our PBL sharing of our final project. We shared our invention convention with year 5/6, that is my hub and year 7/8 so it was very busy and loud. We did our invention convention from 1.30 to 3.30 it was a long time standing for Blake and I. We had to share our table with other people because there was not a lot of room for everyone to go in the hall so there was people everywhere around us. half. Blake and I took turns going around to see what the other people had made, while the other person stayed at the stand telling people what we made, and that is a card holder TCC. My other friends were next to us so we played a game of cards when there was not a lot of people there. I hope you enjoyed this blog post.

                    have you ever shared your learn with a lot of people? and what was it?

the fun hub trip

On the 16th of September we went on a school trip to the Museum. When we got there we went to the Maori side of the museum. When we  got there we looked at how the Maori people would life and how old that will life up to. First the man teach as a story about how green stone came to NZ. After that we looked at the huts and homes that that build out of wood. And then he talk about how they will not waste a thing and if they killed a dog that will use the fur for clothes and the meat for food and bones for weapon. Then we went to go to the classroom and we got to use the tools that that used to made stuff out of. After that we got to have some lunch and climb a tree and then we got to go around the Museum it was fun the best thing was looking at the old towns it was lot's of fun.

have you been on a school trip? and where?

The final step is here for our PBL Journey

For our PBL we are in the last fail part. Myself and Blake have have been on a long journey for our invention. For people who can not hold your cards we have made the thing for you it is the card holder we call it TCC for the card holder. We have to share our card holder it on the 25 of September. In your group you can have up to 5 people and you got to pick them. Many people have got different ideas like one is you know how you have to carry your folaty up the water slide they have made a puller it is only a prototype tho but still is a good idea. Our group used to have lot's other people but then they went with another group so it is me and Blake know but that is alright because we have used our PBl time very well. I think that me and Blake's PBL has been very well because some groups could not think of   an idea. On the other hand me and Blake went home and ask people what they problems was and me and Blake only got to pick one so we went with the easy one and the one that cloud help some one life or could really help them so we pick the card holder. We did not know how we were going to start but with the help of some teachers and mum and dad we got the idea and we started building it. Once we had build it we got to paint it we painted it red and black for the casino and that is where we are know so I hope you have enjoyed this blog for this week.
