Tokyo Olympics

Hello Bloggers

Today the senior class's went to Tokyo Olympics. We got on the bus at 9:00 there were 2 buses and 3 class's so my teacher slipt us into 2 groups my group went to room 6's bus and the other group went to the bus that room 8 were siting in. Once we got there we got of the bus and Poppy gave us a black wrist band. We went and sat on floor. There were 2 people siting on chairs with mics in there hands. Their names were Rob and Debbie Tanner. Debbie was an olympian athlete and she did the triathlon the sports she did in the triathlon was Swimming, Running, and Biking. There was another School there too. We asked some questions for Debbie. Then we went to the Tokyo game zone and the other school went to the skills zone. Once we were done we switched so we went to the  skills zone and the other school went to the Tokyo game zone.

I enjoyed  trying out the skills zone challenges my favourite challenge was the Power jump. There were 6 cones altogether each team had 3 cones. There were 2 teams it was a boys vs girls if u jump beside the first cone you would get 2 points the second cone was for 3 point and the last cone was for 10 points. I liked the Power jump because I kept getting the 3rd cone exept for the first time.  I learnt that when you're an athlete you need to eat a balanced diet. I recommended going there because it was really fun.

Bike riding

 Hello Bloggers!

Today in the middle block Paterson class had bike riding, today was the first session. Jason talked about the helemt saftey Rules. Jason gave the tall people the big bikes and the rest of us went and picked a bike. Jason and Loni were our coaches. Loni was teaching the people that didnt know how to ride a bike. 

I learnt the directions when your on the road, if you put out your hand on the right side it means your going right and if your puting it on the left side it means it going left, and if you put your hand straight so your fingers are facing upwards that means stop. The 4 letters A,B,C, and D, A stands for air B stands for brakes C stands for chain and D stands for direction. Riding the bike slow was a bit hard beacuse I  kept losing my balance.

 I enjoyed learning and doing the directions, I liked the turtle game you had to go slow and the slowest would win I liked it even though I kept losing my balance. I'm feeling confidient about tomorrows session because when we were gonna ride the bikes I thought I forgot how to ride a bike cause I hadn't rid a bike in a long time.

The Wonder Project

 Hello Bloggers

We have been learning about how to to make rockets. I learnt about Newton's laws of motion, aerodynamic and much more. We designed our rockets on a paper then we took bits of everyones rockets and drew it on the booklets. We made the fins out of cardboard, we made the nose cone out of bottles. The 4 main forces are thrust, drag, weight, and lift. My favourite part of the wonder project was designing the rocket. I found drawing on the bottle challenging because the bottle wasnt flat. I woud like to this again but next time I would have 4 fins. If you add too much water it will be heavy and it wont go far.

Some of the Safety Rules

• Dont stand too close to the rocket when your lauching it because it might hit you
• The Psi cant be over 60
• Dont launch your rocket when it rainy or windy
• wear safety glasses and hi-vis vest
• wait until the rocket has landed before u go to retrieve it.
