Nelson Speedway

 Nelson speedway

On Lansdowne road, in Richmond, I went to speedway and raced. Richmond is south of Nelson, 7.5km apart from each over. I went to the mall for lunch. Once we got to lunch we went to speedway and got the cars out. I went to the track to look at it, it looked wet and small.

Summer

Once it was five o clock I went out for my first race. When it was time to grid up I was right behind the person in front of me. When the lights went green my right foot went straight down to the ground. The track was mudyer than it has ever been. I went into the first corner sideways thinking I was going to spin up. Mud was flicking all over me. I drove into the pits and got my helmet, beleclaver, and earpieces off. I was so hot I tipped water all over me to cool down.

Winter

In the winter speedway is not on, but if it was, the track would be wet and muddy. Cars would be everywhere and you would get hot. If it rained in the winter and is the same in the summer you can’t race. You can’t race when it's raining because it could damage your car as in blowing up a motor.

Niger

 

For learning languages, Taiao has been learning French with french. Miss G said to choose a place that speaks french and I chose niger because I don't know that much about it and I didn't even know it was a place. This was cool learning about the river and that it's one of the top ten longest rivers. When I saw the river I thought that it would be the biggest but it wasn't.

summer learning journey

 

 

Today my class Whenua did the summer learning journey and one of the activities was to make your own comic but you already had the photos there. All you had to do for the comic activity was chose what he was saying. I didn't like doing the first activity because you had to go from slide to slide.

Gingerbread Man Comic

 

For this week Whenua has been doing comics. I choose the book named The gingerbread Man from the library. I randomly chose my book from the shelf because it was hard choosing what book. Now that I have posted this I get to go and make my own comic about anything. I liked doing this because it doesn't take long and once you have done one you get to make your own comic about anything. The hardest part about doing this was getting it all together.

Animal Town

 

This week we have been doing pobbles. The date for this pobble was April the 1st. This was fun to do by coming up with your own ideas in the story. One thing that was hard was coming up with the start of the story and when someone would talk to you and then you can't get that idea you had back.

Snowman writing

 

Today when the year sevens left we did a pobble about snowman. First I did the snowman then the writing. I liked doing the snowman because it's your own thing now copying. I didn't like thinking about what to write because it took half the time that was boring.

Quiz Activity

 

Today we did a quiz in our house groups. My groups tied with 15/20, we tied with red and green. Blue got 14/20. We do these quizzes every week but mostly on a Friday. I like doing this because it's fun to do and also when you don't know the answer you can guess.
