LEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi my name is James.

On the fifth of August we had Rachel come in with lots of Lego that we could play with. She made us do three different hard challenges. The first one was who could build the biggest tower. My group was coming first for a while but then people joined together and overtook my group. We came in third though our tower was 1 m and 23 cm. The tallest tower was 1 m and 53 inches.

Then we had a challenge of who could build a car that goes the farthest. My group did kinda good. Our cars didn't go that far we came 2nd to last we didn't know how to make the Technic car so we got Pieta who kindly built our car for us we built our Lego car by ourselves our cars didn't go that far.

The last challenge was to build a bridge that could hold books, pens and whiteboard markers my group was good we where destroying everyone else's but then ours collapsed I was sad.     




What fun would you have with Lego? can you beat my group?

Amazing Museum Trip!!!!

Hi my name is James and on the 16 of September we went to the Museum we learned about Maori and Polynesian and saw how they lived and what they used to carve out the canoes and what they used as drills and how the used as drills, hammers, and how the made the end of the axes on sandstone scroll down for some pictures.

We looked at some puzzles that had one hole and you had to move them and finish the puzzle. I had 10 minutes to do it. I couldn't , at first, then after we walked around the whole museum we walked back and I said to his mum "all I need is 4 minutes" and what happened we went back and I Finished the puzzle in 4 minutes.

Newspaper Challenge's

Newspaper Challenge's

this term we have been doing challenges. We did three challenges the first one one we had to make clothes out of 24 sheets of newspaper 10 meters of tape and 3 or 4 people. the second challenge was build a ramp for a marble. In this challenge we had to build a ramp to hit a can we had 3m of tape, 8 pieces of newspaper my group almost hit the can we got three points because of how far the marble went.

The last challenge was to build a device too pick up a balloon that was 1.5m away. My group did good until our tool ripped in half when we almost almost got the balloon. That challenge was my favorite challenge. The materiel's we had to use were 1m tape, 7 newspaper, and 5m of string.

Winter sport

Hello my name is James. This season for winter sport my team played soccer. 
This season of winter sport we have had been somewhat successful. We have lost most of our games and we also won some of our games. In one of our games the score was two- two. We had to have 5 extra mins. No one scored. We had a penalty shoot out and still no one scored. The other teams coach said she will tell the football manager that the score was two- two and see what happens. The fifteenth of August was our last game. Our fitness and skill levels improved a lot. My fitness improved a lot because I play soccer on Saturdays and I also kick soccer balls every night after school. My mum was our awesome coach. she gave up all her Thursday afternoons to be with us.      

 

What winter sport would you play?
