The Fantastic Week 8

This week I have been doing some interesting stuff, this week I went to the online chess tournament, it was very fun. First we had to get onto it, so we spent some time signing in and Koka Ngaire said to me I owed her a chocolate fish for her helping me sign in. After, we signed in I was challenged by someone, I joined and then the match started. 

I started out moving my pawns then it was my opponent's turn they took a while to move, so I waited, and waited until they got stuck in a corner. I was excited, it was kind of easy, so next round I was hoping for a harder opponent. It wasn't long until the next opponent came.

A few hours later I had got four wins, that was when Oliver's dad bought us some pizza we were very happy and we ate and played until the pizza was gone. Finally after that, we took the desks back into their class and went back to our classes. It was fun playing chess and it was also very interesting.

 The Fantastic Week 7

This week, I went to makey makey to create something Electrical. I started out choosing a buddy, I chose Anroux. Because he knew lots about makey makey. When we got our kit we plugged it into my chromebook and got the alligator clips, I went on a makey makey piano and every time me and Anroux fist bumped each other the piano made noise. When I held both I could tap one and the sound would still come. I don't think the electricity went through our hands because normally it would electrocute you.

Then we did makey makey bongos, there was only two bongos so we got one each and plugged an alligator clips into earth. We held two alligator clips each and tapped our clips, we made a song and it was pretty nice. Next day we got a bee-buggy and made a track. It was pretty cool. But then we went to Ella and made a human piano. I was part of the human piano, and every time they pressed us the piano made a sound. Finally we packed up, I helped with the bee-buggy and a makey makey. Then we went to our classes.

The Fantastic Week 6

This week has been a little different, I went back to planet construction and played with the magnet tiles. I got all the large squares and I also got all of the mini squares, I was helping Kale'a by giving her lots of squares. Then I talked about a game and, surprisingly she knew about it to. So we talked and talked while also making our creations.

After, Kale'a finished her creation and Nathan came and had lots of magnet tiles. So we had a competition to see who had the tallest pile, I did and Nathan tried everything to try to get his tower higher. But nothing worked, when it was pack up time Kale'a gave me her creation, but Nathan broke it and got most of the pieces and his was higher. I did not accept defeat because if I had enough time I could make my tower taller with the pieces kale'a gave me.

The Fantastic Week 5

This week has almost finished but it's a great and exciting one, so much has happened. On the first day of school koka Ngaire introduced us to maths-whizz, it was fun and we still did math. It was like prodigy, but their was more math than play, but maths-whizz was still very fun, everyone played and we had to get a full crystal to make our very own avatar.F or every level we completed we got rewarded 30 credits, we used credits to buy pets,pet food, accessories, furniture and to play games.

When it was learning through play, I decided to play at planet construction. When I walked through the front door, I rushed to the giant lego pieces and then. Me, Tay, Oliver, William and Wolfe made a giant tower of lego, it was almost taller than William. But it was falling down a couple of times, so Oliver got an idea, we had to build around it like we were re enforcing it. We used every last piece to make it more stable, even though it still could fall it stood up long enough for koka Leah to take a photo of it. After she took a picture we broke it down.

The Fantastic Week 4

The week so far has been a good one, in ltp I joined cardboard nation and I was with ethan. we were planning on making a bird box with cardboard, straws, barbecue sticks and a ping pong ball. We started making the box with the cardboard and barbecue sticks, we stabbed the barbecue sticks into the box because it was falling apart.  

 It helped keep the box up, and we used straws to make some areas where the birds could perch on. It was almost done and we were making some progress, we added some details and some more straws. We put barbecue sticks in the straws to make them stronger and harder to break. It made me feel creative and I liked how we used teamwork, Finally we were done. 

Koka Jo took a picture and I took it home.

What does it mean if an animal is endangered:

It is at risk of extinction and their population is low, and in some cases their rarer to spot. It also means their population is lowering, and that they might die out all together. Endangered means that  they are at risk of extinction but some are at serious risk and will not survive for long.

How are humans responsible for endangering animals: They are because they kill them for their meat, bones, teeth, fur and horns. They kill them to make money. This is true for the tiger and many other animals like the panda and the polar bear. We destroy their habitat by chopping down too many trees and polluting and littering on land and in the ocean.

Why must we protect endangered animals: We have to because we chopped down to many trees and littered and pollute their habitat, we kill animals to make money and we sometimes even kill them for fun. If we don't protect them their will be less animals and if bees become extinct their will be less fruits and vegetation.

What can humans do to help endangered animals: 

Eat less meat, walk or cycle most of the time instead of using a car and recycle as much as you can whenever possible. Don't kill animals for fun or for money, pollute less and don't litter. Help an animal if its injured by calling a vet as soon as you can.

The Fantastic Week 3

The Fantastic Week 3

The week has so far been amazing, because we have been doing something fun. We have been on a mission called mission impossible. It was about Nga Ngaru, we had to observe to see how much action was happening.

We had to write down what we saw and what we heard, it sounded exciting. When I went in I saw them playing I was watching everyone it was interesting, some kids were playing snakes and ladders, I saw phoenix playing with george. for phoenix he got six 5 times in the match and george got 3 sixes.

When their playtime was over they rapidly packed up everything and walked over to room 8 and sat quietly. Then they walked out and got their food. Some went outside to eat while some ate inside then I asked some of them what they were doing when it was playtime and got some more information. Then we left and shared our reflection.
