Learning in The Making Conference

On Friday in the first week of term 4 the whole school participated in Learning in The Making.

My first workshop was Scout Skills. The people who ran the workshop were my mum and my Cub leader. In that workshop we did a burma trail and all sorts of fun things we do in Scouts.

My second workshop was The Mad Science returns. The teacher who ran the workshop was Mrs Barker. Our challenge was to get our balloon the farthest down the nylon racecourse.

My third workshop was Drink Bottle craft with Rebecca. In drink bottle craft we got to decorate our drink bottles with paint, stickers and all sorts of cool stuff.

My last workshop was Electronics with two college students. We learnt how to make a LED light turn on by hooking wires up to a circuit board. After everyone got the hang of it we played Bullrush and Duck, Duck,Goose.

My favourite workshop was The Mad Science Returns because I got to work with my favourite teacher Mrs Barker.

The skills that I learned were to pinpoint where North, South, East and West are.

Holiday Recount

In the second week of the holidays my whole family and I, (all sixteen of them), went to Rarotonga for my Nana's birthday. We lost a day and gained an hour. When we got there I jumped straight into the pool.

While we were there I opened three coconuts. One night we went to one of my mums best friends house for dinner. Before dinner I went snorkeling with Hamond, (the eldest of three children), and it was my first time doing it. After dinner we went down the the beach and caught seven huge hermit crabs. The next day I went snorkeling with my cousins a Muri beach.

When my Aunty and I went down the the wharf to look at the colourful fish, we saw a pod of whales. At one point they were right outside our hotel and we saw the fluke.

On the plane home I watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople and The Angry Birds movie. The flight was four hours long.
