Hide and seek

Hide and seek

One day I was  at my friend’s  house and we wanted to  play hide and seek so we started to play. My friend Jimmy was in. Because he has a massive garden it would be hard to find me so we made it that the seeker had to count to 5. We started. I was so excited. Then I had the best idea ever, it was to go in the creek! I was  hiding for so long it was not funny.
Then I heard Jimmy but  Jimmy was too small to get over the fence so he had a idea and that idea was to push me in the creek so he did push me in creek. I was so angry . Then we started  round 2 I was in . 1 2 3 4 5  “here I come” It took so long it was like I was in the desert trying to get home then I saw him running to a different spot .

The reason that we think this shows the heart of Waimairi because Football shows Teamwork and the Year 6 is playing and role modelling for the Year 4. Football is fun and everyone can play it.

Speech

Today I am going to share with you a very funny and gross childhood memory.

I was seven years old and I was on holiday in Noosa with my family where one of my favourite animals the Koala also lives.

After a fun day at the beach swimming, building sandcastles and eating the best snow cones you could ever imagine. I could choose any flavour and the ice took forever to melt.

We walked back to our hotel when my two brothers thought they would have a relaxing spa in the outdoor bath on the deck. I didn't have one I thought I'd sit back on the lounger and soak up the views, and a funny view it was.

Jack and Ben my brothers filled up the bath and jumped in. They turned on the jets. The jets started to rumble and then like a shot gun they fired out all this black stuff onto their bodies. They first thought it was dirt but realising what it was they jumped out of the bath screaming their heads off.

Their bodies were covered with hundreds of tiny black soldier ants marching across their bodies. It looked like they had been attacked by the pepper grinder!

They ran inside to have a shower with ants stuck to their bodies but they slipped onto the wet tiles on the way. All I can remember is them screaming slipping and sliding all over the place and all Mum, Dad and I could do was laugh.

Science Blog 9/6/2017 Week 6 Catapults And Rocket Balloon.

_________________

What I've done. I have done rocket balloons and making catapults.

  

What I found out. That rubber bands help the spoon to not go to                        far back and snap. The rubber bands provide tension (tightness) for the catapult.

What I wonder. If you put stones in cotton balls they will go further than  normal. 

I think force is a

 Push and pull and gravity. Gravity is something  that helps us stay on earth .

Mini golf course - Week 7

I worked on the tiered seating.

I worked with Ollie Sean Jackson and me.

I worked with books and cups and wood and a ping pong ball.

I brought the cups and the wood.

It truned  out really good be us every shot went in the first shot miss so we made some bounce platforms and then every shot went in the hole.so it went good made by Sam Findlay 

 Science blog week 8 catapult 

FORCE IS……. A force like gravity and push and pull we tested a pull force game of tug of war  we tested boys vs girls and year 5 vs year 6 .

Gravity draws objects  towards the earth’s centre, pull is a towards you force and push is a forward force.       We 

Today Sanjive  and I finished our catapult data. We finished the one cotton ball one, then  we got on to the 3 cotton ball one. Sanjive 

And I think that it went good here is the data.

When we fired it the spoon went wobbly so we changed the height. It changed a lot like the speed and made it go longer. I changed the angle of the  spoon. We also changed the weight of the cotton balls. We started with 1 and then changed it to 3.

Here's the finished product 

it went good. I think it went good because the height and the structure of the catapult. The furtherest distance with one cotton ball was 12m and 20cm. The furtherest with 3 cotton balls  was 11m 16cm.

Week 9/10 plan. Playground  model. This week in   Science  we got to make a model playground this  is the steps 

Seesaw steps:1 get supplies. 

2 glue bottom layer of popsicle sticks together. 

3 glue the skewer in the middle of the popsicle sticks.

4. Get something that's a triangular shape to make it rock up and down.

5. Stick it on the base.

Flying fox steps: 1 get supplies

2 make a stand from pop sticks and stick the string to it.

3 make a climbing wall to get up to the flying fox.

4 put the seat on the string and make a stand for the other end.

5 stick it to the base.

Mouse wheel steps:1 get supplies 

2 glue  popsicle to the inside of can.

 3 slide toilet roll into can. 

4 cut some card to shape then glue to stop toilet roll coming out. 

5 glue to base   

Pound/pool steps:1 get supplies 

2. Hot glue plastic together.

 3 paint the plastic blue. 

4 stick to base 

5 put pebbles around the side. 

Slide steps:1 get supplies

2 fold the paper into the shape of a slide

3 glue popsicle stick to same size as paper.

4 glue the popsicle sticks on as the side 

5 glue to base and tower

Basketball hoop steps:1 get supplies

2 stick pop sticks and cardboard together to make the pole and backboard.

3 stick the wire to the backboard to make the rim.

4 stick the net to the wire.

Swing steps:1 get supplies. 

2 glue sticks into v shape with a little bit of space to put a skewer in and do it twice.

3 glue a skewer to connect them together. 

4 glue two pieces of string a cap and do it again. 

5 glue string to skewer and glue to base.

   

Bench in steps:1 get supplies

2 make a L shape with the pop sticks.

3 make the stools and stick them on.

 I'm working with hamish g . Liam and Sean. Something that's going good is the  organising.a struggle  is  working together .a improvement is Quality. My next step is to start making.

High ropes

Tuesday 23 may high ropes
At Wainui camp it was fun at high ropes. I was scared, I was nervous, I was worried. I had never been up that high before and I did not trust the rope.  I was standing below the ropes looking up thinking how high could I go and will I fall.

I felt excited when I was halfway through the course. Once I got on the first wire I realised that it was really fun. I did the one with the ropes and buoys that you have to reach. I had to give them a kick because I couldn’t reach them. I jumped on the middle buoy and sang raining tacos - I felt like a taco. I didn’t want to sing wrecking ball because I was getting filmed. I was the only one to go on the buoys in my group. I wondered if that would make me famous.

I felt really weird afterwards because I had been in the air for so long on a harness and holding onto the ropes. I had to hold on to stuff because I felt like I couldn’t walk properly on the ground. I also thought I might vomit.

It was so much fun and I realised that I could more than I thought I could do.

Jacket

Clothes Writing .

 I am made out of leather. I am always being worn by someone.  My owner loves me. Whenever my owner wears me he gets lucky. 

This is how I was brought by someone else. 

One day someone won a interview for a job. He needed a job because he was running out of money. He accepted the job interview. But he didn't have a suit.

He rushed done to the shop. The minute he saw me I love him he loved me so I prayed that he would buy me. He did I was so excited.

Now every day he wears me to work.

Whenever I come home I get put in a machine that  gives me a shower. Then I get put on some type of  boomerang thing and put in the closet.

Colour poem

I am the  fire extinguisher that saves your  life. 

I am  the apple you eat.

I am the sun burn that makes you red.

I am the  fire  that  warms you.

I am the sun ☀️ that blinds you.
