Highlight for Term 1

 This term has been a very nice term, because there weren't much lock downs as usual, and we got to communicate with each other better. Also I got to participate in some amazing, and fun sports, like, Cricket, and Softball, I reckon, out of all, my favourite was Softball, because we came first, but we also did for cricket. (I know right my favourite sports!). I also found some amazing subjects, that I actually didn't know I enjoyed, like Reading (Duhhh):). Sorry if this high light is so short. I just can't think of anything else, Thank you. If you have any questions please comment down below, and be sure, I might not post until next term. Byee!

(This year, I had an amazing opportunity to be in the extension group, we didn't get up to much, because we had lots of days off, like easter, and more...but one of our activity's we did was go to the genesis program, about sailing, we learnt about lots of sailors, and I really enjoyed it!) See you in Term 2!!

Keep it cool Experiment

 WALT: conduct a statistical investigation


Today we did an experiment which taught us many different things we have to pay attention to. We had to find out ways to somehow make the experiment fair and also find out our flaws after the experiment. 

Today for our experiment, we were finding out the best material to keep ice cool. It had to guess which material would work better, our options were foil, bubble wrap, polystyrene cups and our 'control' cup was plastic.

Find out which material was better by looking at my slides!

Streets 4 Everyone Project

 

On the 24th of march, the extension group went for a walk around our area. We went to mark some good spots, so that we know where to go, and the right places to put our activity's that we planned, in our groups. The video above, shows the walk that we went on, and seeing the different places we went to, and the things we planned, we are doing this so that the people walking around, and passing through the areas we put our little activity, can have some fun, the kind of activity's we planned, were Connect the dots, Word Search, and more things like Treasure hunts. In my small group were Me, Simon, and Oalii.
