term 2 week 8

This week has gone really fast for me. In science for tech arts we had to make an octaginal pyramid, and I learnt that it needs an octagon on the base of the pyramid. We had to try and make it 1 metre tall with 40 straws, tape and scissors. We did volleyball again, and I learnt a few more skills. I started a book review called the outsiders, and I am almost at the end of the book and I really like it. For English I learnt about semicolons and where you need tyo put them. In math I learnt revised how to multiply and divide decimals because I forgot what to do, but now I completly understand it.

term 2 week 6

 This week has been fun and gone really fast. This week we only had 4 days of school because we celebrated the queens birthday on Monday. In science Quin and I finished the marble run on Tuesday, and and finished with 14 seconds but we meant to try and make it 20. I learnt about friction and forces on Friday. I learnt that the gravity and the ground force push against each other. We did winter sports and my sport was basket ball for Mangapiko. Our first game against Punui we drew, lost against Waipa and won against Waikato. In maths I learnt about ratios and at the start of the week I didn't know anything about they because I didn't learn much about them in primary, but at the first learning intention it was a big challenge, but now because we learnt about them all week I find it really easy.
