Well this wasn't expected at all was it? Auckland is now back at Alert Level 3 in Lockdown. This means Online Learning for 2021! This task was about getting ready for home learning. I hope you enjoy, it's quite short though.

For Literacy, Mr Moran created a writing challenge, this is how it works! He will be giving us 3 random pictures and words that we must use in our stories. However, you are only allowed to write 6 sentences but at the same time keep it interesting! So here is my story and I hope you like it.

Spongebob was getting bored of his Pineapple home under the sea because nobody visited him so he went to look around the globe to plan an adventure! Squidward stopped him and he smacked Spongebob with a broom making him bruised. “How dare you” said Spongebob as he ran out of there. He was now on land and saw an adorable little girl and he thought she was treasure and so he kidnapped her. When Spongebob returned back home to Patrick, Patrick said “Spongebob what is this girl doing here”. Spongebob then got another smack but from Patrick and he was forced to return the girl, the end :)

For Literacy, my class and I had to do a research presentation about my reading group but I accidentally did a whole presentation about Rarotonga instead but Mr Moran allowed it! Anyways, I hope you enjoy and learn something new.

Today for maths, we had a Dimic lesson and it was fun. There were lot's of groups and mine was with Austin and Jane! Our Dimic task was VERY hard and basically we had to use 4, 4's and use them with equations to equal a number from 1-20. If that makes sense? Anyways, my group only managed to do 3 of them- they were WAY to hard! I just wanted to do a recount about it!

Today was the first day for Year 7 and 8 Extension and we learnt about Wind Energy and Wind Turbines. We were split into 5 groups of 3 and one group was split into 4. My group was with Atawhai and also Finau. Each group was given a pen and a paper and we had to brainstorm about what we think wind energy is used for. My group thought of wind turbines and windmills first, so did other groups. We sketched a fair bit of Wind Turbines on our paper and then we thought of some other ways wind energy is used!
Finau thought of a Wind Blower which I thought was pretty smart because, obviously, it uses wind! So we sketched out a wind blower. Next we thought of heaters, air conditioning, hair dryers and also a compass! We weren't sure if compasses had anything to do with wind but we put it down just in case. We thought maybe the wind had something to do with how compasses know where north, east, south and west are!
When it was time to share our ideas, I had to present it and it went out pretty smooth. My group and I also thought of sailing/surfboarding because in order to move while doing those activities, you need air to push you on the water. No air, no moving!
Conclusion:
This activity was really fun and each group is working onto a google slide presentation about Wind Energy/Wind Turbines. Each group had to take out a piece of paper that either said 'against' or 'for'. If you get 'against' then you have to go against Wind Turbines. If you get 'for' then you will be supporting Wind Turbines. My group got 'against'! We were really happy with it and we are working on the presentation that we will share on our blogs later on the term!

This morning, my class and I did a challenge in groups! My group had four people (including me) and it included, Jane, Nadia and Tsai!
In year 5, I did this same thing but our tower was a complete fail..
But now, it was time to redeem myself and try to improve from it and we created this amazing tower!Everybody had around 2 minutes to plan what they would want to do to make their tower the tallest. My group were not really planning at all, it was more.. awkward? When we started building, we just did random things and hoped it would work and.. it did!
Here's how we did it:
1: We got the Spaghetti and doubled them by getting two and sticking them together. We did this twice and we positioned them leaning into each other to balance. We taped them both together and added 2 single Spaghetti piece to balance it on each side that didn't have a Spaghetti bit yet!
2: We taped them all together and added as much tape as we could to the bottom to add as much balance to support the Marshmallow and the Spaghetti piece that hold's the Marshmallow needs!
3: We FINALLY managed to get it to balance after around 2 minutes maybe? We then got 2 Spaghetti's to tape on top. We did that and then added two more, we didn't want to risk breaking our tower and so we figured we should just add the Marshmallow on now. We did that and it balanced!
4: We were pretty much finished so we just kept adding tape on top of tape when time was up...
5: We looked over at other groups' towers and we were a bit un-sure if we'd win but we still had hope!
6: We looked at other people's towers as Mrs Stone measured them while still keeping an eye on ours! Finally it was my groups' turn and we were nervous!
7: Our tower ended up being 60 centimetres if I am correct!

Yesterday, we started school again and I am now a year 7! I can't believe I have completed Primary! Today, my class and I had to write our About Me's for our blog and here is what I have came up with. Let me know if there is anything I could add!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome or welcome back to my blog! My name is Aye and I am a year 7 student at Pt England School. For this year, my literacy teacher is Mr Moran and my home room teacher is Mrs Stone. My culture is Rakhine\Arakan from Myanmar!
In my free time, I enjoy drawing, reading or writing. My favourite movies are Dora and the Lost City of Gold and also Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! My favourite author is David Walliams because he writes interesting and funny books that you just can’t take your eyes off! If i’m being honest, my closest friends would describe me as a crackhead, (a wild and fun person), that loves to laugh with friends!
When I grow up, I want to be a actor or somebody who voices over cartoon characters or just animated characters in movies! I love making new friends and I would love to hear some of your feedback on my blog posts!
I can’t wait to see what 2021 will bring us!
Aye :)
