Berries

I took a long look, deciding whether to eat it or not. It is just sitting there in it textured red casing. Waiting for me. I pick it up, it slips between my fingers it is back on the table waiting. I take a long whiff, the fruity fragrance burned my nostrils. I try picking it up again I make sure that doesn't slip. I take one more look then down the hatch. The taste of crunching ice and the sour essence make my mouth like a disco club. The bag gets scrunched up the ruffle echoes in the classroom. I take another one down the hatch it goes to but in two bites I peer in, it is like a white and red explosion in there. I eat more, it was like an early morning breakfast. Delicious!

Statistical Investigation: Omaru Creek

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest away was Zain who was 4.8km away and it would take him 59 minutes to walk. Jolie however live the closest only 550m away which by walking is 7 minutes. Harrison lives in East Tamaki so I had to work out how far it would be from the train station The mean distance of the 5 people in my group is 1970m.

Badminton 2017

Today we had our last badminton of the term and we were just hitting it to each over. Some of the skills that we learnt were the forehand grip where your thumb is down, the backhand grip which is when your thumb is up and pointing at your opponent's, forehand and backhand serve and also overhead and underarm serve.

Acceleration T1W5

This week I accelerated in maths by learning how to divide number without a remainder by turning it into a decimal. Once I learnt it I understood it straight away but today I forgot how to do it. Ooops! Luckily my Mum is a teacher and she can always teach me. Hopefully, I will consolidate my learning next week by revising division.

Softball 2017

Last Wednesday a group of 13 students from Glen Innes School including me went to a soft ball tournament.

I was the backstop and even got a home run!

Being Good with Money

Today Anina from the ASB Getwise Programme came in to talk to us about saving money. She taught us that no matter what your job is you can save it just might take a little longer. It was actually really fun because we played a game where we were in teams of four and we were given $2000 to fund and support a trip to Fiji. We all had to think about flight prices, accommodation, insurance and activities. Our group payed $200 for the economy class flights, $500 for accommodation, $300 dollars for insurance. All of the other groups just payed for the cheapest items but our group played in the long run. At the end of the game our group was tied for first with group 3. I learnt that even if you don't have the highest paying job you can still earn money and as long as you save it and spend it wisely then you will be able to get whatever you want in the future. If there was anyone that I would need to give advice to it would be my older brother because he spends a money which he wanted to save.
