Go Hard! Or Go Home!

It was now my race. I was at the start line, waiting for the blocks to collide. BANG! 
I was off. I sprinted hard at the start to get a good position at the start. Then Toby shouted "Jack you hit me in the nose". Toby got a blood nose from that but he kept running because he was determined to beat Ziggy. Toby was a lot closer to Ziggy because Ziggy was sick. 

For the whole time me and Jack were neck and neck. Jack was ahead for most of it but at the end I gassed it past him and beat him. I don't know what I ended up coming. I think I was like 8th or something. Ziggy did end up beating Toby but he only just beat him at the end. So Ziggy ended up winning and Toby came 2nd, Rylan came 3rd but only just because Seve and him had a sprint race at the end. Through the whole race I was trying to stay close to Jack and then go faster at the end.

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!

Yep thats right our soccer team (Wainui Thunder) won the inteschool soccer for the first time in abou 4 years. In the finals it was 0 all at full time and it went into penalty shoot outs. I am the goalkeeper for our team but on Makauris first shot I almost saved because it hit my legs and bounced over them. Then it was our turn to shoot, Toby took that one and on his first shot he mist but then the reff let him take it again because she didn't blow the whistle, so then Toby took that shot and scored. It was now Makauris second shot. Which...they mist. Then Ziggy took his shot and mist. So Makauri took their last and......................MIST! So now it was all in gavins hands, the whistle blew, he shot and..............SCORED!!!!

Winter Soltice

This week for MLH quickwrites it was based on the winter solstice. One of them was a my map. We had to mark a pin on Stonehenge, Newgrange and Maeshowe. All of themm are prehistoric monuments that were built thousands of years ago.

Stonehenge is part of the Winter Solstice because when the shortest day of the year comes (which is called the winter solstice) it shines right in the middle of Stonehenge. Newgrange is famous for when the Winter Solstice comes the sun shines right down on the doorway. Maeshowe is famous for its amazing sun rise because it rise's right over the passage grave.

ANGLES AND TRIANGLES!!!!!

In maths strand this week we have been learning about the angles in a triangle and what types of triangle there are. We also learned that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

There is equilateral triangle that has all the sides the same.

Then there is an isosceles triangle where the top is longer and the bottom of it is short.

And then there is a scalene which has no equal sides. The side on the left is short then the other two are longer.

                                                                                                         

Revisiting Term 2

Retro Tech, Harold and Matariki. Term 2 went so fast that I could barely remember going to the Harold Truck and the term. Going to The Museum of Technology was a really fun experience since I had never been there before. I didn't end up getting a term achiever but I was fine with that because I'm going for the end of year award.

Jett and I with our hard hats and glasses on.
The Matariki stars.

ALLY FOR CLASS PRESIDENT!

In the book that we are reading (Fish in a Tree) this term there was a vote for who should be the class president. When they were in the class having a vote about who should run Jessica(Shays friend) voted for her and then Shay(the bully) voted for Ally for some reason. A while later they had a big vote for who would be class presedent. First there was 2 votes for Shay then 4 votes came out for Ally, then 3 more votes came out for Shay then 4 for Ally and she won.

Bullying

For one of my chapter chats this week I chose to do an anti bullying slogan/poster that will be put up around my school because at most schools bulling is a problem so you need to stand up to bullies.
