Hand generator
The hand generator was one of my favourite projects that I got to see and use. It's really impressive that it generates the electric drill, coil and the SOS light. It amazed me how it can generate all of that at the same time.

We also investigated their science projects. There were so many interesting projects especially the mind working ones. I really enjoyed the connecting the ines game, it made me concentrate more on what I am doing. The projects got me thinking as I kept looking and observing them.

Physical and chemical changes
Today my class and I had a opportunity of going to a science roadshow. Firstly they did a show about physical changes and chemical changes. The first example was ripping a paper and burning a paper, can you figure out which one they belong to. Then it got even more interesting. They were experimenting on carbon dioxide and water. They even many more.

Migration of maoris
The migration of maoris started many years ago. The transportation was very useful for their kind of tribs. Their ways of living and surviving are based on one main thing and that is hunting. The wakas were made by men called Aotea, Tainui Te Arawa, To konoru, Kura kaupo, Takitimu and Mataatua. As they were on there way looking for land a man called Kupe travelled and found a island. He really thought this island could help my tribe and family, so he told everybody to go on the island. Another man named Ngatoroirangi name the land Aotearoa. They learnt all sorts of things such as making clothes, hunting, cooking making tools and many more.

Probability online game
The first top two have helped me accelerate my knowledge on probability. The 4th game helped me step up my pace and consolidated my knowledge. All the game helped me with probability. I would like to play difficult games involving probability. I think I am working at a 4.
Nestle Activity day - Athletics
The main one that really pumped me was the athletics, It was really good for you body however it was also fun. The coach was Kathy and she helped us run 20 metres in every activity to warm us up for the challenge. When we finished that we finally did the challenge and that was to sprint towards the other end without stopping and I came first. Then we did some obstacles.
Thank you Nestle and Mitchell.

Why I want to be Barrack Obama
Firstly he is humble his persuasive words create new generations and he is also known as the president of the United States of America, Barack Obama. What he does is creating a meaningful and healthier planet to live on forever. Why he does this is so you are happy. He shows gratitude, commitment and generosity. His kind of career can change the world in a instance, but he chooses it only to make things better. Any chaos made in this world he may configure it. His place of birth was in Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.
AUT Provide Lunch
On Tuesday AUT Provided us lunch. There were a variety of healthy options. We used this information in a maths lesson. I found it kind of easy. I would really like to do this with many more combinations.
Evil Twin
Walht: use creative skills to write an interesting narrative
I, Huntah popped up straight out of my slumber and shot off to the bathroom. The day started with the beautiful sunshine blinding my eyes and the white, fluffy clouds cloaking the sky. It still felt the same as usual, sleep, wake up, clean and off I go to work, but someone had to ruined my morning schedule by using up all the water. It was none other than my evil twin Jeff with rotten teeth and venomous eyes that just disgust me. Lucky for him he had left.
“Mum, I am off to work, have a great day and can you please grab the mail while I’m gone,” said Huntah.
“Okay, see you later, aaahh and go get some milk while you at it alright. My boy is already grown up,” mum screeched.
CRASH! I burst through the bank's with intensity. I saw my evil twin at my desk drinking coffee out of my favorite mug and his grubby finger typing on my priceless keyboard.
I sprinted towards my desk and gave my twin a learning lesson.
“Get off my desk I own this segment of the office!” I yelled
“No I own it,” he whispered happily. I dash to the manager's room and question him about my brother is doing on my desk and chair.
“Unfortunately, your brother qualified for your spot in the bank” He screeched. After that sad moment I stumbled out of the premises and dragged myself away to my house. As soon as I arrive home my mum asked
“What happened”? She said.
“I got fired” I mumbled under my breathe. I jolt to my bedroom door and fall on my bed like a disappointed sloth. I cried as I think about why my brother does these things to me.
“I have had enough of him now let's see if he gets enough of me” I said to myself. I stomped my way back to work.
As I am on my way back I think how the security or workers would react when I storm through the front entrance of the door, but then I thought not to overthink just do it. Once I get inside I yell out “Where are you Jeff”! I search for him and he was slacking on the job. So I took a sneaky picture and show the manager of the bank, but there was securities guarding the door, but luckily they got sent to the bank vault to guard it. He could fire him and look at my proof of his actions. I could even get my job back. After all the surreptitious actions I finally get my career back and I end off with another winning day against me and my brother. After all the mennas my brother finally apologises for all the mistakes he has done to me. I am really impressed that my brother finally said sorry for all his bad doings.
Nestle activity day - Rock climbing
I also really enjoyed the activity on rockclimbing. At first I really thought that it would be easy because I have done this at this fun place called Rocket Ropes and it had all sorts of obstacles. I was the demonstration for everyone to understand the way of keeping safe. Then we had to grab 2 partners to hold the person from falling. The rock climbing teacher’s name was Kiri.

Nestle Activity day - Kayaking
Yesterday some of my class and I had a one in a lifetime opportunity. That was to go to the AUT
Millennium centre. We did all sorts of activities such as Athletics, Rock Climbing and even kayaking. The person teaching Kayaking was chelsea and she taught us how to row a kayak. We were learning about life skills. There was laughter and screams. I really enjoyed the lunch. It's a way to keep safe when the boat capsize. I wish I could do that again.
Thank you Nestle and Mitchell.

Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.
Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with 10 sided dice. I played with Siunipa. We alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column. Of the 20 attempts we were successful to get 4 out of 20 outcomes correct. So the probability is ⅕ as a simple fraction and 20 as a percentage. Since we did similar games this week I have a better understanding of probability. Next I ‘d like to play possibilities with a increased number of attempts to make it more difficult and challenging.
