Cricket

This week we did Cricket.  We first started off by playing a game called steal the nest. In this game you have to run to the middle and collect balls.  when you get the balls you throw them back to the person in your team and then you run back and they run to the middle in the end its who has the most balls.  after that he gave us some instructions on how to play endless cricket.  

endless cricket was fun first the cricket guy started of with massive balls and then moved onto tiny balls.  first my team was feilding. after that we switched to batting. in batting I got a massive hit that went really far and then got a medium hit that went higher but got caught.  In endless cricket you take a hit and then run to each cone the more times you touch the cone with your bat the more points.  after we finished endless cricket we walked back to class. 

why Anime is good

 Anime (manga) is my favourite type of comic and cartoon it has lots of cool stories here are some of my favourites.  Naruto is one of the most popular mangas, it is about a boy who everybody hates for no good reason.  Naruto (the kid) has a dream his dream is to be king of the village also known as Hokage.  On his journey to become hokage he finds out he is jinjuriki, a jinjuriki means you control a powerful monster and use his powers.  Naruto's story is from being an underdog with no parents or friends to becoming the king of the hidden leaf village. 

The second manga i'd like to tell you about is One piece.  One piece is a manga thats supposed to be based around the pirate error.  The main character is monkey D luffy he made a promise to a great friend of his that he was gonna be the king of the pirates. So luffy gathered a crew together and started looking for the great treasure named the One piece.

Now that I have told you about anime have another think about it maybe it might suit you. the first image is Naruto The second is Luffy.

 

     

Pihitia Station

This week we went to Pihitia Station.  At Pihitia Station we got to do lots of stuff including shearing a sheep, watching farm dogs chase sheep and much more.  First, we got to watch a cow get milked while we were doing this we shook a jar of cream to make butter.  We also got to have a little bit of whipped cream.  Our next station was watching meat getting cut. When the butcher cut the meat he got each part of the meat into a pile, there was ribs, chops and all that other yum stuff.  

The 3rd station was the station where we got to weigh sheep.  We all had to sneak around the side of the fence to lure the sheep into the weighing machine.  After that, we weighed the sheep, if the sheep was too light we would put them in a different barn but if they were a good weight they went into another one and were sent off to the butcher.

After the sheep weighing, we went to check out the farm gadgets we got to watch a drone being flown it was pretty cool.  Next, we went to the sheep shearing where they were shearing sheep. The guy there chose Max to shear the sheep and Anroux to pull out the sheep. After the sheep shearing, we ate some food then went to the pest control station.  In there we found out how they kill wild cats and about stoats rabbits and possums.   

ICECREAM SUNDAY

last week we made an ice cream sundae, the day that koka terri left.  First we had to make instructions but the thing was we made them without knowing that we were actually going to use them to make an ice cream sundae.  We had a buddy to read ours for us some people didn't mention spoon so they were eating with their hands.  Rori Max Cash and Milo ate with their hands luckily I mentioned spoon so I wasn't eating with my hands. 

I think I should have added put a lot of sprinkles on my ice cream cause I said sprinkle a small amount and koka terri did 1 spoonful while the others got 2.  I had to read Max's and lets just say it wasn't the best first he didn't mention sprinkles then he was eating with his hands.  But Max's wasn't bad compared to Cash's, Cash had forgot about a spoon chocolate sauce and marshmallows.

LTP Beach

 This week in learning through play instead if doing the usual stuff we went to the beach.  The first time we went me and my friends made a massive hole with 2 seats on the edge.  We also made some sand balls to throw at each other.  I made a perfectly round sand ball and threw it at Momo.  

After that time at the beach we headed back and went home.  This time when we went to the beach I helped make a throne with bay for a while but then left to do some flips on the dunes.  After some time reef came to do some flips with me then Momo came.  Then I had a goal a goal to land a side flip I didn't succeed  

Automata

This week we had to do automata things.  I did mine with Max and Oskar,  first we had to plan what we were going to make, we started with something funny that little kids would recognise.  We decided to do a meme on the top of our automata and did chungus (a bunny rabbit)  this would give the kids a laugh because we were making our automata go up and down giving the people watching it get the feeling that it was hopping around.   

After that we had to form the automata we used a skinny box to start with and then cut some cardboard out so we could make the cam.  The cam is the bit that does all the work we did an egg cam so when you spin it around it makes the bit on top go up and down.  When me and Oskar were going to do the automata we changed the picture to Patrick from Spongebob, because we didn't like the bunny rabbit.  Then after that we started the finishing touches and finished the automata.

LTP

 In learning through play this week I did cardboard nation.  Cardboard nation is where you play with cardboard, rubber bands and other things, this week we attempted to build a house.  First we found a massive piece of cardboard, then I gathered lots of cardboard pipes for support beams.  We had found some plastic pieces that could go at the bottom of the pipes to make them stand, we put a support beam in the middle so it was stable.  After that me and Reef made headbands like the ones on naruto.

After laying the support beams down I found some wooden knife like pieces.  I gave one of the knife pieces to Max and one to Reef, after that we started building a window.  We had to get the craft knife so we could cut out a window.  After that we started to build a door it was very hard, first Reef tried but failed because his one was to skinny.  After that max builded the door and made it a double door.  we had to finish early because of something.
