Today was Raffle For A ride at Russell St School. Some people got to go in some awesome cars. Lucky Abby, Zoe and Sumayah got to go with More Fm. They got to also got to go on the air. They got Mcdonalds for breakfast too. Any way there were lots of other cars on the field. Here are some of my favourite vehicles that I saw. Stock cars which raced around the field ripping the grass up, Ivan is going to be so mad. A Ferrari, Helicopter, Ford Focus, Lamborgine and a police car. The thing that I thought was really cool was that I got to sit in the helicopter and look at all the controls. I wish I would have won one of the rides because they were so cool.

It was an awesome morning and I had a lot of fun looking at all the cool cars.

Here is me in a car from this morning:

Here is my car plan:

I made is a round shape and for the paint I want splurges of paint and the static lines of paint coming out of the splurges of paint.

For my add ons I have 1 spike on every wheel on the car and I have one little motor piece that goes on the front of the car.

Here is my design:

I am learning how to use a craft knife safely.

I can do this when I…

Always cut away from my hands and body.

Remain focused at all times.

Hold the knife firmly.

Cut with slow and steady movements.

Use only 3cm of blade on the craft knife.

On Friday 14th of November in Rarotonga Zac Guilford walked into a bar naked and bleeding because he had been doing silly stuff with his motorcycle.

The bar that he walked into was called Trader Jacks but the owner is thinking of changing the name to Trader Zacs. The owner has also made a new cocktail called Guilford Punch.

Trader Jacks Owner told the dominion post that the All Blacks were ambassadors for New Zealand and Guilford’s behavior was unacceptable. Jane told the Dominion post that Guiford liked to have a bit of fun, like any other 22 year old man and needed to get smart about where he chose to party.

Zac Guilford also threw Punches at patrons in the bar.

He Has been in a lot of trouble but I hope that he will still be aloud in the All Blacks Rugby Team.

Here is my pattern that I made to show you how Algebra works.

Here it is:

This week in Maths I have been Learning how to do order of operations. Brackets comes first and then the times and the divided by. Then you do the pluses and minus’s. Then you get all the answers and add them together. Here is an example: 4-3  + 6 + (4 x 5)  6 ÷ 2 Answer: Brackets First 4 x5 = 20. Then 6÷ 2 = 3. Then 4 – 3= 1 Then plus the 6. Then add them all up: 20 + 3 + 1= 24.

Example 2: Power of. Q. 5 x 5 x 5 x 5=?  First 5×5= 25. Then you go 25 x 5= 125. Then 125 x 5= 625. Then 625 x 5= 3125. So the Answer is 3125

Here is a Wordle that I did on a website called Image Chef.

Here it is:

Greece: It’s flag has nine equal horixontal striped of blue alternating with white. It also has a blue square with a white cross through it. It is placed in the top left of the flag.

Russia: 3 landscape bands of white, blue and red. The white is at the top. The blue is the second. The red is the third. The colours have been based on the dutch flag.

Malaysia: 14 egual horizontal stripes of red and white. It also has a blue box in the top left that has a Star and a Moon in it . The 14 teen stripes stand for the equal status in the federation of the 13 member states and the federal government.

Belarus: Red horizontal band is at the top. And there is a green band at the bottom of the flag. There is also a white strip going up and down on the left side. The red colour recalls past struggles from oppression. The green band represents hope and the many forest of the country.
