After that we went out to the sandbar and along the way we pasted a warf and saw some interesting boats:

Book review

In the last few weeks I have been reading Uncollected Volume one by Paul Jennings. It's a great book a great way to past the time and get lost in a book and the great thing is that it's not just one book it's 16 short story's in one book! The story's range from happy to sad but they always make you smile. Overall I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My speech!

On Tuesday Team East had to do their speeches but unfortunately I was terribly sick so I did it on Thursday, my speech was about Antarctica (the video is below) I chose this topic because I always liked Antarctica but Antarctica was such a big fan topic so I narrowed it down to why I chose the topic what I'll do in Antarctica, what to take and how to get there.

MATARIKI

We have been studying Matariki in teameast. Here is what I have found interesting about Matariki.

High Ropes Day

High Ropes Day

On Friday the 3rd of June all the year 8s went to the Groins to complete a William Pike challenge. When we arrived I was feeling extremely excited about climbing but also feeling nervous because I am a bit afraid of heights. I don't know why but I feel more comfortable and safe climbing trees without a harness but get very nervous and I sorta get frozen in place when I stop climbing on a climbing wall with a harness.

But now I know what you're thinking “come on how high can it be??” Well…… The answer to that is very high, very very very high and all four of the climbing walls are the same height. The names of the four walls are the giant ladder, the vertical play pen, the floating islands, the horizontal pole (I call it the angle pole because it was on a angle) and last but definitely not least the Flying Kiwi.

My most proud moment was when me and my friends/teammates got past a certain point on the giant ladder when Hayato (who is terribly afraid of heights) couldn't get onto the next pole and I had to get Hayato onto my knee so he could climb up and the poles are not very wide and so I almost fell off the whole ladder, after Hayato got up to the next pole he wanted to come down so then it was just Benj and I on our own.

Clubs

Clubs Day.

On Friday the 27th of May Loburn School had clubs day, we have this every Friday, I got put into Coding and Robotics, the one I wanted! The reason I wanted this one is because I have been doing some coding before school on a thing called Scratch, it is this website where you put some codes in and the thing (people, animals, cars ETC.) moves how you programed it.

When I first thought about Coding I thought that it would be me working alone or with lots of kids that I will have to help and not get to do anything on my own work. But luckily I was wrong and in fact I was working with a group of people and on my own work. I think that we all had a great time even when we were on ScratchJR a app made for younger kids or kids who don’t understand Scratch but it was really FUN!

The most enjoyable part was seeing the faces on the little kids when they see their character move around and talked. The most interesting part was seeing how everyone will work together and how they will share the Ipads and react to ScratchJR.

My goal for this Friday is to finish my Scratch and try out a new app called Hopscotch and maybe make a thing on that. If you want to try Scratch or anything else I have said. You should try it now!
