catapult

 For the past couples of weeks in blast off Me and my buddy Ciara have been building catapults. at first we built three catapults that was the teachers design. Next we planed to make on of our own but we could not find the planing sheet so this is our poster for our catapult.

    

Robe Goldberg Machine

In blast off (class) Me, Ciara and Madeleine made a Rube goldberg machine.

 It went really well but the glue stick we had in it was to close to the car track but the marble did go in the cup so that was good and that was the goal 

this is our final design

this is our final video

 

Letter To Camp

Gisborne.

Dear Norm,

Today I am writing to you because I want to Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you especially for the delicious food. I loved your Amazing meals, my favourite meal was spaghetti bolenas.

One of the highlights for me was the high ropes and the zipline. The high ropes were pushing me to my limits and I made it to the end. The zip line was tiring going up the stairs but it was really worth it when you went down.

So thank you for everything, thank you for letting us stay there and again, thank you for the terrific food. 

You are AWESOME.

With heaps of gratitude.

Eva B

 

What Is Matter?

Click here to read my book.

Today I was learning about what matter is.

I enjoyed learning more about what matter is.

I found it difficult to remember all the facts and put them in my own words.

Next time I would try to get more facts into the book.

All Souls Day

Today I made a flower using shapes.

I found it hard to make the flower petals because they had to look nice or else it would look out of place.

Next time I would try  to make a different flower.

I enjoyed makeing the flowers because it was a challenge.

Piano

 When you're  just a starter, piano is extremely nerve racking.

I was only 9 but I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I was waiting for so long for my name to be called out it felt like a thousand years. my parents on both sides of me telling me it will be ok. I listened to other people play piano and this one girl mucked up and people started to laugh. I was scared that would happen to me

As I thought about my songs they called out a bunch of name’s and one of them was mine. I walked up to the spott to wait, trying my hardest to look brave and not burst out in tears.

As the lady in charge called my number I tried to walk up and out a little smile. I sat one the seat, put my feet on  the pedals and put my fingers on the keyboard. My hands were shaking but it was like the rest of my body was paralysed. I hit the first note and all my nerves washed away like a flood demolishing a house. My songs were indian dance, Rororo your boat and lavender blue.

I was relieved after I’d finished. I got a badge and a certificate and I came first place. My mum and dad said they were so proud of me. I shouted I was terrified because when you're just a starter, piano is extremely nerve racking.

Today I was learning about how to link your first sentence to your last one.

I enjoyed writing about the time when I did piano.

I found it difficult to remember all the things that had happened.

Next time I would talk about what the judge said and write more about my songs.

Service

Today I was learning about service what it looks like, sounds and feels like.

I enjoyed creating the poster because i like to use colorful things.

I found it difficult to find a good quote because it has to make sense.

Next time I would make it not so cluttered.
