Tough kids

On Wednesday me and my friends went to tough kids, tough kids is a fun obstacle course. My favorite obstacle was there was a lake and we had walk through it and we got soaked my least favorite was there were ropes and you had to walk through it and it was PACKED. At the end there was a bouncy castle and you went over a slide to get to the end  before the slide there was a hole you had to crawl through and I got sat on but it was still a lot of FUN.

I love doing math boards. It's really entertaining doing math problems. When you do a math board you need to make sure your sentence makes sense.

Athletics

 We had Athletics. My first rotation was sprints, I came first in my heat and at the finals I didn't make it to zones, then we did it again but it was longer, in my heat I came first and in the finals I again didn't make it to zones but it was still a blast. Then we did long distance and that was very hard for me because I had another problem i had a really bad stitch then I had trouble breathing. After that it started to spit/rain, we went to my favorite high jump, Caoimhe, Ariella, Gabrielle and I made it over the bar. We had to call it off because it was raining really hard but when we do it again I am going to try concur discs, shot put and long jump.

 The early settlers

My dearest friend Autumn I am on a boat to this new island and this boat journey is crazy. I had to say farewell to my peculiar uncle Rob he had a disease called the plague. This boat ride is not fun I have to share a stained bed with this person who I don’t know and they smell like tuna because that's what we have to eat, tuna and rotten apples with wiggly worms in them. You are very lucky you’re not on this boat because the boat never stops rocking and my new stick toy Mr Wright slid off the side of the boat because it is swaying and every five minutes someone is throwing up over my side of the deck. I am very nervous because we are aboard Sir George Seymour and six or more boats have sunk and it is horrible to even set a thought about the six or more ships that have sunk into the murky water. I am currently tying ropes for the anchor and it is no fun.I hope you will one day come aboard this weird ship and come and visit and if you do, I wish you good luck. I hope your family is doing good and your sick brother too.

Sincerely your dearest friend Lara.

This was my piece of writing.

The trip to the Museum

The whole hub went on a trip to the museum, we went in groups and in my group I had Elise, Corinne, Lincoln B, Travis and James in my group. Me and my group looked around the museum first, it was soooo cool looking at the mummy's but terrifying because the mummy's were real. After looking around the museum we had eat time and playtime, me and my friends climbed up a tree and nearly fell off the tree ...well I nearly fell off.

After that we came in and  listened to a guy named Anthony. He told us about how Maori lived and how they made their tools. After that we did some activities. The first activities that my group did was you had a stick and a piece of wood, you needed to rub the stick onto the piece of curved wood as fast as you could and if you rubbed it really hard eventually the wood will start to get hotter and hotter until the wood gets darker.


The second activity that we did was there were drawings of animals that the Maori people drew and you needed to draw one of the drawings. The third activity was you had a stone and you had a big rock and you needed to rub the small stone on the rock really hard. Then it will become soft enough and it will be cool weapon. The second to last activity was you had a Pounam (green stone) on a stick and you had a log that was turning into a waka (Kano) and you needed to hit the log and it will turn into a waka. The last activity was you had a stick drill and a piece of wood and there was a string attached to the stick drill and you would spin the string around the drill stick and pull it until it makes a dent in the piece of wood.
