Paper Planes
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of the wing span.
We measured the flight distance of the planes and we recorded the flight distance. The type of graph we used was the scatter chart. One person had to throw the planes at the same strength. We used the trend line to show how high and low the planes flow. All of our planes didn't fly as well. The reasons for that could be that the plane was thrown to hard or soft and it was folded incorrectly. My interpretation as the wingspan gets bigger the flight distance is still the same.

Sunday school
I had Sunday school and we had to learn how to write in our own cultures. When we go to Sunday school we can not talk in English, we can only talk English when our teacher asks us to. Our Sunday school starts at the beginning of every year. First we start off with easy stuff than every year it gets harder. Our school starts at 12 o'clock then ends at 3 o'clock. We only have a 30 min break and we only have the break 1 time. There are levels, the people that are not smart and the smartest.

Kiwi Sport
LI: To learn how to stay safe in the water.
We had our last swimming session. Our instructors were James, Livy and Maddy. For our last swimming session we had to wear a life jacket. Then we had to do the safe entry in the swimming pool. When we got in the pool we had to grab each others life jackets to make a chain.
Next we learnt how to keep our self warm while being in the water. To keep our self warm we had to make a huddle together and the smallest person in the huddle has to get in the middle to keep them warm. If your alone and don't know how to keep warm in the water you have to, get your knees to your chest and if you're moving around, spreed your knees a little bit to stay stable.
Lastly we did the pencil dive entry. For the pencil entry we had to cover the back of our head with one hand and the other hand has to be on our shoulder. Then we had to drop in the water. The instructors told us to stand up on the side of the pool. After that we had to jump off the side and jump off to high five the instructors. After we jumped off we had to leave the pool to shower with the life jackets on. After showering we had to take off the life jacket to go back to school.

Basic Fact
I did the speed demon challenge and I did it up to 5. I did the addition up to 5. My time was 5 min 59 sec.
World Time
L.I-To learn about the time in different countries.For this task we had to find the time in different countries when it was 6pm in Japan. An example we had to find time for Canada. The time in USA CA: 2am and NY: 5am. This helps by learning different time in other countries.
I learned from this task that there are different times for the west side and the north side of some countries. Why there are different time in the west or the north because those countries are bigger.
Rugby profile and Performance
L.I To learn about rugby players profile.
We had to write one of the all black rugby stars profile. We picked Kieran Read. We wrote new information and new understanding that you might not know about Kieran Read for example Kieran Read's height is 1.93 metres.
This activity helped me learn new things and new facts about Kieran read. We found out his position, height and country.

Rube Goldberg machine
LI: to try make a Rube Goldberg machine with all the six simple machines.
We had to try make a Rube Goldberg machine with the simple six machines. A Rube Goldberg machine is a complicated machine to do a simple thing. It took us 2 tries to get every thing working. I was the person working with the wheel and axle. We used a incline plain, wheel and axle and a lever.To create our machine we used a chair and some wood to make the incline plane. We used a car and a book to start our machine. Then someone tips the book, the book hits the car and the car comes down the incline plain, as soon as it gets to the bottom it's going to the person at the bottom of a table. The person at the bottom of the table is going to roll the ball in his hand. The ball then rolls and hits the person standing in front of the table. The person in front of the table is going to roll the basketball then the basketball comes down hits the person next to him. The when the basketball hit the person next to him, the person next to him slides under the table and hits the person that is at the finish. The person at the finish is going to roll the ball down the incline plain and the ball hits the cup with the dice in it.
The thing I found challenging was trying to get everything working. I would change people being under the table.
