Automata

 In MLH we did this thing called Automata. We only did it on wednesdays because we did it with a realever. first we had to do a plan on the first wednesday but then on the second wednesday is when we actually made the Automata's. We did it in groups of 2 and 3. 

An Automata is basically when you have a box and you have to make these things called cams. Once you did that you got a skewer and you stuck it through the center of the box. Once you did that you had to make a follower which you stick on the top of the box to make whatever you put on top spin around. We put mario on the top of ours and then we made a background for it.

After we did all that we had to pack up everything and all the cardboard bits. Then we went out for lunch time. After lunch time we all had about 30 minutes before we had to stop and show the whole class what we did. That's all for today i hope you enjoyed this blog.

Camp

 We have year six camp coming up this year. We were supposed to have already gone to it but due to coronavirus we didn't  end up going in the estimated time. Instead were going in term four week two. A few of the things we were going to do got cancelled though so that's a bit annoying but i'm still excited for it.

One of things we were going to do was staying the night at a aquarium but it got cancelled so instead were just going there to visit it. I was really excited for that part but sadly they had to cancel the sleep over there due to the safety issues or something like that.

After the aquarium sleepover we were going to head home on friday but now we're going home on late thursday. That's it for this blog if i had pictures of our plan i would show some to you but i'm not sure if there is any or not. Comment on my blog to help me to improve in my learning.

Weekly Round Ups

 In MLH we are doing weekly round ups. It's basically just a video of everything we have been doing  in a week. I'm not till next term but that's good for me because i can't really be bothered to do it i'd rather just get on with my priorities.The people who are doing it this week are Max, Mako and Alice. 

Honestly it sounds kinda hard because you 1 make the actual video and 2 you have to record everything that people do like heaps of learning and stuff like that. I got filmed a little today but i don't really mind getting filmed because im gonna have to film a bunch of other people.

Lets just say i'm not looking forward to my weekly round up because if i don't get all my priorities done i won't be able to go to rugby and the weekly round up sounds like it takes up alot of time. That's about it for today but i hope you enjoyed this blog and come back next to see what else i write about.

Rugby

This term our school rugby started. To be honest we haven't really been winning our games but oh well at least there just grading games not actual games. Our first proper game is this week and I can't wait to see how we go. Some of the people in our team is Rori, Taika, Oska, Jackson, Angus (our captain), Max, Stavis, Cash and Kobe. There's a few more than that but I can't really think who that is right now.

But it's not about winning it's about having fun and right now it's been really fun even though we've been losing. So as long as i'm having fun i don't really mind losing but if we win then that would be great. The captain of our team is Angus because he played rugby last year so he has a bit more experience than we do.

So over all rugby is a really fun sport for me and I highly recommend playing it even though you get bashed around and stuff like that, but you just don't be scared with the ball after a while and it becomes really fun. Plus you get some nice food at the end of the game and that's also great. I hope you enjoyed this blog I didn't really know what to wright this week so I wrote this.

Learning Through Play

Ltp stands for learning through play. Here's all of the options that you can do junky monkey, makey makey and a couple more fun things to do. The one that i did was junky monkey but i didn't really like it that much. The next one that i think i'm gonna do next week is makey makey. 

Makey makey is basically when you get a bunch of wires and stuff and then you can make mini games or something like that. I had a little look at it yesterday and it looked pretty fun so thats what im going to do next week.

I can't wait for the next Learning Through Play. That's it for today but i hope you enjoyed this blog cime back next week to see what i have done.

School holidays

In the school holidays i did this really fun surf camp that my dad did. It was basically like you went for a surf and ricardo filmed it. Once you were done surfing we went and got some lunch then watched the footage. After we watched the footage we went out for another surf but sometimes it wasn't very good but we still went out.

The last few days we went to mahia to surf blacks beach. It was really fun after the surf because we went and played in the shorey there and the shorey at blacks beach is so big and fun. I really liked it because we always went and got nice as food. It finished at 3:00. 

Then after that we just headed home for the day.
That's it for today i hope you enjoyed this blog.

Graffiti

In our writting groups we are doing graffiti. When i say "Graffiti" I mean not real graffiti were designing our own graffiti about what we want to change in the our communitie, world or even just our school. There were a few one's that people picked like black lives matter, road safety and bullying. The one that i picked was black lives matter.

I picked black lives matter because i don't believe in racism. Also a guy named george floyd got strangled in the neck by a police and he didn't even do anything bad. So I decided to pick black lives matter. I started on doin little words and drawing little pictures to see what I would like.

So that's about it I hope you enjoyed this blog. Come back next week to see what other things I have to write about.
