Athletics

This week we had athletics. On Tuesday I did the 1500m I came second and Joel came first.
Then on Thursday I did the 800m I came second again and Joel came first again. Today we had the throwing, jumping and sprints. First I had sprints, I was in the best heat so I came 5th. Then we had the break and Caleb and Dontaey gave me juicies. We then had high jump but I didn't get put forward for that because I cant jump very high. Next up is long jump I surprisingly got 3rd with a length of 3.9m. Discus was next I came third but I only came 3rd by 3 millimetres after Caleb Belcher. 200m is my favourite so I was looking forward to it the whole day was put in the best heat again, I ended up coming 3rd.

Halloween Writing

Halloween

This Halloween I went to Caleb's house. First, we watched a movie and then we got bored so we started to get in our costumes I was wearing an anonymous mask with a black hoodie. Caleb was wearing a Zombie mask with a black hoodie. Joel was wearing a hilarious wrestler mask and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut out. Raghu had a huge dog head which I thought was really cool. We were all ready to go we jumped on our scooters and started to go.      

We went to our first house they weren't home strangely because their cars were outside and there windows were open. “We should just go to Russell Robertson because that's where everyone is,” I shouted. So we all started scootering down the hill to TeMata road. We are almost at Russell Robertson when we realise we haven't seen any cars or people which is strange because this is normally a busy road.

We go to a house no one answers so we decided to split up and try to find houses that will actually give us stuff. I go with Joel and Caleb goes with Charlie and Raghu.

I and Joel start going from house to house we still couldn't find anyone. All of a sudden we hear a scream come from a nearby house me and Joel sprinted over as fast as we could. We get to wear the scream was and we couldn't see anything apart from one house we shout is anyone there. We hear a mumbling sound but we’re not sure where it's from so we knock on the door. This guy comes out looking suspicious so Joel asks him “Did you hear that scream?”

“What scream?” the man responds.

We close the door and look in the window, we see Alex and Hugh tied up in rope with their mouths taped together. I and Joel didn’t know what to do so Joel just called the police but the guy saw us. He started chasing after us we got on our scooters and went to where we saw Caleb last, they weren't there we started to search for them. We could see the guy coming after us we run to a house and slam the door. We lock all the doors and then we realised that he wasn’t chasing after us. I and Joel lock ourselves in the bathroom and hold the windows shut we wait about half an hour and then we peek I realise that the window has been smashed, where could he be?        

New learning

This week I learnt about the different types of triangles at extension maths like equilateral, scalene and isosceles. Equilateral triangles have equals sides and angles. Scalene has all different angles and lengths. Isosceles triangles have two even sides. For P.E we have done shotput and I learnt that throwing is mostly in your legs otherwise it wouldn't get far at all. Hughs Dad came in and taught us about forensic and taught us how they catch criminals. At the forensic science, we learnt about how blood and saliva is a good way to get DNA.

This week I have learnt about my goals and what I need to improve on in writing. On Wednesday loa shi taught us how to make dumplings they were very nice. We were also trying to pick stuff up with chopsticks and I wasn't very good at it At extension maths, we have been revising all of our learning we have done through the year. Our inquiry is explaining the unexplained so we were watching The Myth Busters and they were very interesting. One of the Myth Busters taught me that a book can stop a weak bullet from hitting you. I have learnt also that William is the best at long jump.

This week I am doing a lot of work on my speeches. My speech is about gaming and I have learned that gaming is not all bad for you it can improve lots of things like co ordination and eye sight. Me, William, Alex and Louie finished our friendship rap and we were going to sare it in house assembly but Alex was embarrassed so we didn't share it. At extension maths, we are learning about decimals and fractions.

This week I learnt about coordinates at extension maths, The main things were that the Y axis is vertical and the X is horizontal. At science tech, we learnt how heat rises and that when you put a cold coloured ice block it goes down and then in 5 minutes it spreads around the whole thing. We have been doing lots of cross country training so I think that I have been getting fitter. We learnt how to greet people and countries in Mandarin.
