Kia ora, my name is Calais and I’m a year 8 from Paihia School.
Today it’s Wacky Wednesday.
Wacky Wednesday is when your wear something out of the ordinary.
Such as a dress,Skirt, and anything that looks funny.
This is a really awesome day because most of the year 8’s had dressed up,
In dresses and fairy customs, And it made sure all of the little kids had a
fun safe day. Here are some of the photos from today.
I hope you Guy will try this one time at your school or anywhere!
Have a good day!
Kia ora bloggers last week my class had science fair. My groups topic was “Can you keep a cut flower alive longer in something other than water”. The liquids that we used where L&P, Sugar mixed with water, Disprin,water, Aspro Clear, and Hair spray. We also used six cups. When I was doing science I learnt what a conclusion and a discussion mean’t, Here’s a example: Conclusion is the end of something like a story and a Discussion is like a meeting because you talking about something, here’s a example of my groups conclusion and discussion: I embedded the example at the bottom. What I found difficult is writing out the method and writing out the evaluation. What I would do different is picking a topic that is a little bit harder because it was a really simple topic.The part that I didn’t enjoy was when my groups flowers came out of our cups, we had to restart the next day but we knew what to do cause we did the day before. The hoe that I was usibottomng is Manaakitanga because I needed to help me and my group.
Have you ever done science experiments.
Kia ora Bloggers this week my class has been learning about “dot plots”. First we had to look at a dot plot that had data of how far the children from room 1 threw a tennis ball. The thing that what I got stuck was when Room 1 throwed between 14 and 19 but the thing that I got stuck on was I thought that all the balls were landing between 10 and 20.From that we then had to describe how the data from room 1s dot plot was gathered. Something I learnt how to do was analyze and also create a dot plot. Something that was tricky for me to do in this activity was explain what I saw or found in the two classes. Someone who helped me was Wairua & Jayden who is a student in my class and math group. Down below I will link my screencastify so you can see what I’ve been doing. Have you done something like this before? Bye.
Kia ora bloggers last week my class made some ramps for a marble run. This was really fun because we hadn't done this in a really long time. We did this to get us prepared for are science fair that was coming up. We also have to write down the scientific method next time we do this.
There where rules that we had to follow and the rules where (On competition day, you cannot touch your ramp or marble. Another team will operate the ramp, using the written instructions from your team. No verbal communication is allowed between teams during the competition)
I think the hardest part for me was to write the down the instructions because we had run out of time. The easiest part for me was to think of the design because me and my group had a good idea. Our ramp doesn’t look the best it got us lots of points, our total of points was 17.
Have you ever done this before?
Kia ora bloggers, yesterday we started to finish off our wakas with Mr E. I was really excited because I hadn’t seen Mr E in two weeks. Once Mr E let us go in his class he told us all the rules and safety hazards, to remind us. The most challenging thing for me was to remember all the instructions that Mr E gave us because I would forget everything he told us what to do. The easiest part for me was cut out the wood because I was very good at controlling the power tools. This was really fun but next time I need to improve my listening skills and try to remember more instructions next time.I only have a little more finish and it's only the paddles for the waka. I hope you enjoyed reading this post, blog you later.

Kia ora bloggers, This week we have been learning about “Smart relationships”. We have been learning about this because sometimes people play online games or talk to people that they don’t know, and they tell the people their name or some private information about them self or their family. The teachers gave us a video to watch for a demo. Here is the video if you want to watch it: link. After we watched the video we all made a DLO to show how to be safe online:Link to my DLO. I hope you enjoy reading my DLO I hope you learnt something new about talking to strangers online.
Have you ever learnt something like this before?
