Tamaki tech
On Friday we had tech and it was so fun that while I was walking there I was day dreaming about what would it be like. Our teachers name was Mrs. Sharma. Our first discussion was about the three branches of science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics. Then we talked about what happens in the three branches of science and then we had to write any three questions we wanted to ask during our session. Then came the fun part of making paper planes. we had three chances to identify the winner to engineered their planes the best the go the furthest. We had three chances because if we didn't make a good one the first time then you could modify it another two times. It was so fun because I came second place with my furthest at 9.90 m and Wuatai won it with 10.0 m. But I was still extremely happy with my place.

Treaty Of Waitangi Poem
Treaty Of Waitangi
Bang!
Gunshots
Like leaves fallen to the ground
The casualties of war
Lie helpless
Hopeless count
Two copies
One says left
The other says right
Maori in the middle
Not knowing which is right
Hone Heke as fast as a cheetah
First to sign
First to regret
Now 6 February
A public holiday
Hone Heke will probably hate

Maths Reflection
Today in maths I learnt a much more easy strategy to solve while doing subtraction. The problem we had to solve was 923-587. We did place value partitioning just like all the other groups. The way I learnt to do subtraction was called rounding and compensating. In our group we did place value partitioning and we also did algorithm. Today's session was really fun.

Water Fun Day
Spectacular there is no other way of describing what
an amazing morning I had at Glenbrae schools
water fun day. The whole school participated
in this event and it was held today on the 5th of February 2021.
There was lava on the ground and our first activity
was called Lava flow. This activity requires you to
get a cup fill it with water and run flowing the W
shape of the bench the carefully jump down of the
bench and run in a zig-zag manner around the
cones and then jump through the hoop and then
run to your house colored bucket and tip all the
water that you have managed to keep in your cup
the sprint back like the Flash and pass the cup to your partner.
Next, the activity we had was the water slide
and it was extremely fun and it was very easy
to slide down on my first attempt I didn’t make
it down the whole way so I stood up and the I
instantly fell straight down on the last bit of the slide.
The next activity was called Pool fun that was
just getting in the pool and freestyling in the
pool. I went in with my sock and shoes. It
was really fun and I also got floaty and got
more confident at swimming. I enjoyed it.
The next super fun game was with Mr Nath and
it was called Holly Molly. In that game, the holly
was the cup with holes leaking all of the water out
and splish sploshing on the ground. We had to manage
To get all of the water to your house colored buckets
mine was kowhai and I got it in with some water left. It was really fun.
I couldn't wait for the next activity because it
was called SpongeBob.I like that activity because
it was challenging not to accidentally drop the sponge
or press it and releasing all the water it was a really fun
game. For this game you had to line up in a row of your
house colors mine was kowhai and I was at the second to
last person at the back of the line. So the person at the front
of the line dipped the sponge in the water then they pass over
or under and then if they pass it over then the next person has
to pass it under their legs and then the next person passes it
over their head so on until you reach the last person. When it
reaches the last person. The last person runs to their house
colored bucket and then they squeeze all the water out of the
sponge and run back to the house line and stand at the front
of the line and dip it in the water and pass it over or under.
That activity was really fun.
Finally, we reached the last activity and that was
my second favorite activity. For that activity, you
had to dip a cup of water and then run or walk on
the branches then go under then over the desks and
get into a hula hoop and pull it over your self then
sprint like the flash to your house colored bucket.
And tip all of the water you have managed to conserve in your cup.
This was one of my most favorite water fun days at Glenbrae
school. My favorite activity was fun in the pool. I felt all
hyped up for today and it was just sensational.

Bounce Back
Bounce Back
Bad times don’t last stay optimistic
Other people can help if you talk to them
Unhelpful thinking makes you more upset
Nobody is perfect not you not others
Concentrate on the positives
Everybody experiences sadness it is a normal part of life
Blame fairley
Accept what can’t be changed
Catastrophizing exaggerates your worries don’t believe the worst possible picture
Keep things in perspective it's only part of life.
