Kia ora, on Friday Paihia Primary School had a kids can fundraiser. We played sports like big ball soccer, gumboot throw, relays, dodgeball and other games. There was a group of people called PAL leaders who ran the sports, I was one of them Breeze and I were running the gumboot throw, it was awesome. My favorite part of running the gumboot throw was being there to help the juniors. What I can improve on is try to get along with some of the juniors because some of them don't listen.

In Te Ngahere we have been doing this marble challenge. We had to get into two or three groups my group is Missy,and Cheyenne. We made our ramp with our class dustpan and Missy’s maths book. We had points if your marble gets within 1.1o cm you get 5 points 3 points if the marbles stops within 5.5 cm

2 points if the marbles stops within 11 cm

1 point if the marbles stops within 22 cm.

We marked a line on the maths book where we wanted the marble to start.

Then we rolled the marble. Our first roll was 96 cm but we weren't happy so we change the height of the maths book then our second roll was 112 cm but we weren't happy with it so we keep changing the height until we got to 110 cm.



What I think we can do better next time is not change things around so much because sometimes you get there and sometime you don't. What we did good was work together as a team.

On Wednesday the year 7 & 8s went to Moerewa School for Technology. The year 7s were cooking and the year 8s were finishing off their projects. This time we were making two things cottage pie and apple pie . First we had to get in to groups of two or one .I was with Anyah. Anyah and I had decided I would cook the cottage pie and she would make the apple pie. My first step was to prepare the potatoes by peeling them with a potato peeler. Then I placed them in a pot of water and waited for them to boil, While I was waiting for my potatoes I moved on to my next step by preparing my onions, garlic and tomatoes by chopping them. Then I moved on to grating my cheese. By the time this was all done my potatoes were ready to be mashed. After I had mashed my potatoes I moved on to my mince and bacon. I chopped my bacon into small pieces, then I mixed the mince and bacon together. After all of that was done I fried my meat onions’ garlic’ and tomatoes together in a frying pan then i added tomato paste to the pan as well. My next step was to move all the food from the frying pan into a oven dish. i placed my mashed potatoes on top then finished off with my grated cheese and placed it in the oven to bake.

What I think I did well was put the cheese in the mashed potatoes. What I think I can do better next time is not put tomatoes in the pie because it tasted sour.
