Minecraft Being Used In Schools

Over 200 schools in the UK are letting the kids play minecraft in classes. They first let them play minecraft then they need to write about what they experience. Teachers say that people that don’t like books read more and write more from minecraft. That means that they learn more about blocks, materials, maths strategies, history even! They can create all sorts of buildings, countries and islands through their imagination and even some that are real places.

They really can find out lots of things.

Is your school playing minecraft?

I wish mine was.

Rugby

On June 18th NSW won the 2014 State of Origin Series. It is the first time in 9 years New South Wales won.They finally won the trophy off Queensland. The score was 16-4 in the second game. The game was at Sydney.It was one of the tightest matches in Origin history.

I thought NSW would win this year and they did. The Last time NSW won was in 2005. NSW made a big improvement.

My Trip To Tonga!

!!Tonga!!

Good morning I'm going to tell you about my trip  to Tonga. It was really awesome. I went when I was only about 9 in the year 2012!. We were going to Tonga because it was time for our family reunion. By the time we got to Tonga I was really thirsty so I went to our own shop and got a drink .

I then went to see my cousins from Australia. They were surprised because they didn't know I was coming. Soon it was the time to go and have a very big feed. It started to rain. In Tonga when it rains it really pours down!

All the kids and my older cousins got bottles and had a water fight. Then on Sunday we had to go church but me and my cousin just played games. On Monday I went with my friend and helped cut some grass at a lot of houses. The trip back to the airport was fun too because we got to ride on the back of a truck.

A Shopkeepers Deth

Good Morning and welcome to T.V. 3.

Leading the news are two boys who had gone into a dairy in Henderson and stabbed the owner to death.

The two young boys are aged 12 and 13. The police has got them and now they are in CYWRs.

Netball Lessons

I was in my classroom when the speaker went 'Beep! Room 11 and 6 its time for your netball lessons. Beep!’ Our class walked up to the netball court and we all saw room 6 there. We were excited and really wanted to get started. The coach said 'hello my name is Donna and I will be teaching you kids netball for the next 4 weeks. OK what do we always do before we ever play a sport?’ Mika shouted 'warm ups!’ We had to line up on a yellow line and after that we had to do different jogging styles such as skipping and grapevine. We then did a passing-shooting game.We had to do a fire pass, rolling-chest pass, overhead and one hand shoulder pass. Our team won the first 2 drills but lost the last one.

We played a game where there were 2 teams. Both teams went into 1 circle each so we end up with 2 circles. We had to pass the ball in a circle. Then Donna had to put out 4 cones for a team of 3. We played a passing game where a person had to run to the empty space and we had to pass the ball  to them.

My Secret Code

I am absolutely excited that I am going to get a new password for my school Google account. I can’t wait to be more cyber safe when I use it I will be able to do all sorts of things. I will have safer  access to the internet. People won’t have access to my Chromebook because I will have a new password that they won’t know.

   !!One Account & All Of Google!!

Chicago Bulls Against Lakers

I was at home and was really bored so I said to my cousin “Hey we should go up to the school and play basketball.” When we got there we saw some other guys  playing basketball.We asked them if they wanted to play basketball.They said “Why not!”

… And we played a 2 on 2 game.

We pretended it was a Lakers vs Bulls game. My cousin and I were the Lakers.When we were playing I got the ball and got a basket.Then Ngamanu and my other cousin came. Now it was a 3 vs 3 game. My Lakers team was too good.The score was 18 to 16.

And the champions are the lakers!!!

How much do you know about planets?          

There are many kinds of planets in outer space. I will be writing about Pluto. This is a report about planets.Not just any planet. . . . The planets I think are special. The planets I think that are special are earth, mars, jupiter and pluto, which is a dwarf planet.

Pluto Facts

Did you know that pluto is the second biggest dwarf planet in space?Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld not a disney character. For many years, Pluto was thought of as the farthest known planet from the Sun.

Planet Facts

the planets go in order which is this order from sun,mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune.

mercury is the closest planet to the sun and is also known as mercurio. its star system is the solar system.its parent star is the sun,and its orbit is the sun.its surface temperature is 66.85.c

Venus is west of the Sun, she rises before the Sun in the morning and is known as the Morning Star.  When she is east of the Sun, she shines in the evening just after sunset and is known as the Evening Star.

earth is the third closest planet to the sun and is the only planet with life on it .earth is 80% water and 20% land. 100 planets of earth will be the size of one of our suns.

mars is known as the fourth closest planet to the sun. Befitting the red planet's bloody color, the Romans named it after their god of war. The Romans copied the ancient Greeks, who also named the planet after their god of war, Ares. Other civilizations also typically gave the planet names based on its color — for example, the Egyptians named it "Her Desher," meaning "the red one," while ancient Chinese astronomers dubbed it "the fire star."

jupiter is the fifth closest planet to the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Fittingly, it was named after the king of the gods in Roman mythology. In a similar manner, the ancient Greeks named the planet after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon.

saturn is the sixth closest to the planet.Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest planet in the solar system. Although the other gas giants in the solar system — Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune — also have rings, those of Saturn are without a doubt the most extraordinary.

Saturn was the Roman name for Cronus, the lord of the Titans in Greek mythology. Saturn is the root of the English word "Saturday."

Smooth And Shiny

Hard Materials Is Cool.

What We Do At Hard Material Technology?

Hard materials is awesome because we get to make a Pewter Casting.

On Wednesday we watched Mr Grundy show us the way to make pewter casting.

He made something like this.

First Mr Grundy looked for a picture online then printed it.Then he drew the picture on to the wood.This is a Kiwi drawing.

Next he had to cut it out with a machine.

Then he put two pieces of wood side by side and put a rubber band around it.

Next he had to melt the pewter.

(before)

(after)

Then he poured the pewter into the the wood.

After that he had to wait till it dried up and then took it out.

Now he will cut some bits up and make it smooth.

After that he will have to sandpaper it to make it smooth and shiny.

Now he will do the finishing top and make it as shiny as possible.

I am going to make a shield.
