Star dome trip

On thursday we were going on a trip to star dome it was three dollars to go, 2$ for the bus and 1$. We were in groups too. On the way me and my friend (we were in they same groups) and played games on the bus while waiting to get to star dome. When we got to star dome we sat down in our lines waiting to go in.  have you ever been in star dome before?

Our teacher said that we arrived 10 minutes early so we got to play on the park. They park had an flying fox an tire spinning thing ( I don't know the name of it) and an spider web there was more to the park. After we were finished we got back into our lines than we went inside. What park have you been too?   

Inside the building near the entry there was a rocket figure made of lego. In the building there were rocket figures made of lego. There were telescopes, rockets, screens (with info about space shuttles) and other stuff. After that where went too do an quiz with our groups then we went into a dome to watch an short movie. Have you done a quiz about space before?  

In the dome  we sat on some seats I sat with my friend and we looked up at the dome and watched what happened. Before they movie we say we're jupiter and saturn was at night. When we watched the movie it was about finding a new place to live. When the movie was done we went onto the bus and went back to school. Have you seen a movie about space before?

During our trip I have learnt that we should take of earth better so we don't need to move planets. I also learnt that when making rocket figures it's easier too use lego instead of using a lot of money. I have learnt about titan have methane rain and methane slush rivers.

On they first day of term 2 on monday we had an immersion assembly. At they hall there was a table that had a pc and different kinds of laptops/chromebooks. All the team's had a short movie to show what they were doing and what the will be learning about..

This terms topic is Now That's Thinking. Team 1/3s movie was about kites. Team ones movie was about 4 kites for matariki and four female teachers. Team threes movie was about the stars and how the got there. Team two's movie was making kites like team ones movie. Team fives movie was about fixing and they were building a garden for their class.

Team four was learning about what technology the maori people used in the before they pakeha people came. One of mr goodwin's Ideas (In the movie) was learning about a flux capacitor for a time machine. In team fours movie all the teachers in team 4 discussed what they were going to teach the kids.

I want to learn about technology and how it's works and what kind of technology we used in the past. I want to learn how planes and cars worked in the past. I also want to learn what kind of weapons maori people used in the past. I want to learn how maori people lived and what they did to entertain themselves.

Eating insects

Walt: writing a recount

On Thursday I thought it's was gonna be a normal day but no. Mrs Stickland was our teacher and she said we were eating insects and they were real! But they were dead. We all got into groups and Mrs Stickland gave us a napkins and put crickets on it with mud.

The kids in my group are Lepa, Justice, Arthur, Hopa and Awathan. All of the kids in the group had a cricket but me. I wanted to try the mud and it was disgusting and then I tried a cricket leg and it was crunchy but I spat it out than I had another one and spat it out again. I really didn't like bugs or insects so I didn't eat a full crickets.

In the end I felt sick and Mrs Stickland took the napkins with the crickets and told us we had to write a recount. This was a fun and yuck experience and I never want to eat a bug or touch it. It also tasted like burnt toast. That was a one in a lifetime, I hope!

2017 camp

To more days before camp and i'm excited for it. I really want to watch the movie that I voted for and I hope it's doesn't rain like before so we don't get wet or have too wake up at 3:00 in the morning. I'm nervous about kayaking because I don't know how or what to do but it's still will be fun anyways.

The things i'm excited about is the movie, it might be a movie I haven't seen before because there's only 1 movie I haven't seen. Another thing i'm excited about is the pool where going to I have been there before it's really fun but it's really cold and there's an volcano and to slides. There are two pools a indoor pool and an outdoor pool the indoor one is warn and the other pool is cold, and thes a water park.

I'm hoping for camp to be warm and sunny because it's been really cold lately and cloudy. I'm hoping we could do the kayaking because last camp my team couldn't do because the tide wasn't in and because it's was cloudy.

Something i'm nervous about is our camp dance because it's very weird and hard but we have a good chant. The group i'm in is called the presidents and i'm with three friends and I hope we don't get the least points. I don't know what things were going to do but I really want to make a fire and cook stuff again.
