Kia Kaha Buddies


Today we had two Year 13 students come into our classroom. They introduced themselves as Jayda and Oriwa. We then went outside to the tennis courts and stood in a circle in a boy-girl-boy-girl formation. We passed around a tennis ball and played a game called bang. In that game if Oriwa or Jayda said your name you had to duck down while the two people closest to you said bang and tried to shoot faster than the other person.

In the second round me and Lardayah tied but she insisted I was out so even though I wasn't I sat out. The next game we played was bull rush and we could save people on the first round. My friends kept on having to save me because I kept getting tagged. Again at one point Lardayah cheated and moved her legs to tag me and when I finally asked if she cheated and they said yes but someone tagged me before I could even speak.

That did make me kind of upset. At the end they said "123!" and we answered with "All eyes on me!". They said that they were a bit agitated when we talked over them. I agreed with that as sometimes I couldn't hear who they were calling in bang.

Overall it was pretty fun and I'm excited for next week.

Science Roadshow

 On Tuesday the 30th of March, the Science Roadshow came to Otaki College with many different gadgets and gizmos to show us. They showed us experiments involving fire and explosions and lots of gases and balloons. It was very interesting to see. First when we got inside   there was already a few classes sitting down. we sat to the right of them and began listening. Two lady's were talking to them about something they had previously done. She soon got onto us and began the show. A blonde haired girl  introduced herself as Jess and her brown-haired friend was Steph. Jess said they would be talking about gases and asked if we knew any gases. Lots of people had good ideas and raised their hands.  When that was done she demonstrated some experiments. Lots of them involved fire. One of them had a gas blowing about candles without touching them. It blocked the oxygen from reaching the fire. The gas was called carbon dioxide (CO2).  They showed us a few more experi...

DMIC Problem Solving

Today we did DMIC Problem Solving in groups of four. Shylah was the questionnaire, I was the writer, Jorgia was the presenter, and Jess was the reader. The problem asked us to figure out how many cookies a child had eaten on the first day of five. The kid had eaten one hundred cookies in total. First we took away six from a hundred five times and soon after realised that strategy didn't work. We then tried to divide one hundred by five. That strategy didn't work either. Then we tried guess and check. We started with the number fifteen. we added six to the four times and got the following numbers. Fifteen, twenty one, twenty seven, thirty three and thirty nine. We added all those together and got one hundred and thirty five.Then we tried ten which was to, high, five was two low, and then we tried eight. The numbers were eight, fourteen, twenty, twenty six, and thirty two. We added all those up and got one hundred! We were really excited at our lucky guess. We were then chosen to...
