The activity we played was about a patience chain. Mr Simanu would squeeze our shoulders then we had to carry it down in a chain. We weren't allowed to look back and we weren't allowed to squeeze without a person squeezing our shoulder first. At the end of each line there would be a runner and when the runner feels a squeeze they would race to grab a cone. The last game we were playing was called end of the road. This game was based on GKQ, we would form a line and then we would go down the line until the end of the road.

Maths | Paper airplanes

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift.
Today in maths, we are still continuing on with paper planes. We had tested the flight distance of the paper planes. The results were different to our prediction. I think some problems were that we didn't use the same power of throwing the paper planes. I think that the other problem was that we didn't fold the papers well.

She told us that she had to figure out a unique name and logo. This app took about 2 years of planning. You also need different ways of promoting your business like advertisements and self promotion.

In Foodprint stores sign up to Foodprint to give their unwanted food. Each year 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted and put into landfill, and this is bad because of climate change. Right now there are over 200 stores who have signed up and there are over 17400 people using the app. Michal's app is a social business which means they care about their profit, the people and the enviorment. I recommend this app because it can save you money.

Then we talked a bit more about respectful communication and how we can use it more often. Our activity was called musical cones and in this game we had to dance and grab cones as fast as we could. First we would dance to a song and then when the song stopped we had to try and be as fast as we could to grab a cone, and to secure it on your head.

In Kiwisport we were starting to learn about serving the ball.

To serve the ball we had to put the racket on our shoulder, then with our left hand we have to throw the ball up and then hit the ball high with our racket. When we are serving we don't serve straight we had to serve diagonally.

We also had to use adding, subtracting, multiplying, and division in a game called scattergories. To play all you need is a pen/pencil, a piece of paper or a book and friends. Everyone gets one question like 15 addition and then you have 2 minutes to write down as many ways to add up to 15.

To do reversing a question could be 35 − 23, instead of subtracting it you can try add it for example: 23 + ? = 35 ( 2 + 23 = 25 + 10 = 35 ) ( 2+10 = 12 ), the answer is 12. We also had to calculate the area & perimiter and we had to identify the fractions.

Apple meant we had to jump forward, Orange meant we had to jump backwards & and Banana meant we had to jumps and face the other direction ( 180 or 90 turn ). Then we talked about how & why we should respect ourselves. We can respect ourselves by making sure we are in a healthy condition, and we should respect ourselves because other people can also respect us. Lastly for our activity we were trying to guess between two different options like was I a duck or a skydiver. For each question we got right we would get a point. Some people were also lukcy because they got to have a turn asking questions to other people about themselves.

Rugby Profile and Performance

LI: To write a Rugby profile for a player of our choice
This task was about making a Rugby Profile ( Statistics about a player ) and Performance about a player from the country of our choice. The player I chose was TJ Perenara from New Zealand. We had to find information like his date of birth, place of birth, position and more. We could also find out more information about the player.

Rube Goldberg

LI: to make a working Rube Goldberg machine by using the 6 simple machines.
Over the past weeks, in groups LS1 had to make a Rube Goldberg machine, We used the 6 simple machines. Wheel and axle, Lever, Incline plane, Pulley, Screw & Wedge had to be included. The challenges were turning a Chromebook on, helping Mr Wong roll dice and hitting a putter. Our scenario was turning on the Chromebook.

On the last week our group had managed to get the machine finish. We used four different types of simple machines a wheel and axle, pulley, incline plane and a lever. For the wheel and axle we used a car. For the Pulley we used a string from a yo-yo and latches from the window. For the incline plane we used a marble roll down a ramp. And used the dominoes as the lever. 

The most challenging task was creating the machines and trying to apply the 6 simple machines and communicating with our group to know what is going on and how we could help. I'd change another way of putting dominoes up without it falling because we always had to keep putting it up and the amount of sellotape we used.

LI: To link the positions to the players.

From this task I learnt more about players and there positions, I also learnt what they look like so next time I can find them.
