Zoo trip






As I took a step in the cool ground my burst into piece. I was filled with excitement because I couldn’t think of what to see first. As we were walking to our meeting place everyone was crowding around an animal, and when I saw it, it just made my day. I saw a Red Panda and it was climbing. Now I was time to see some animals.


We all came together, and waited to see the animas. I was with Kiarah, Shayna, Kamryn,and Mariana. After we got to go and explored. The first animal we saw was an Otter. An Otter is an type of sea animal that you might see in different country or not. Next was the serval where the cheetah and baboon lived. We saw the baboon first in the area and it looked at us like a funny look at us , it even scratch it bum. After four minutes it was time to see the fast, flash cheetah. There were two one was sleep and one snuck from the back and came right up to the glass and I was scared. Later we had to go back and have morning tea.


The next thing we did was wait for our education to come and take us to the night forest where the kiwis were. Later we went with our education to the night forest. I was excited. When we got there we had a talk about the animals we were going to see. As we sat down our education was telling us about what kiwi eat, how big there egg is, what happens when the baby is born, and where you can mostly find them.The first thing she told us was were kiwis come from. She said ‘ the only country you can find kiwis are in New Zealand. The next thing she did was telling how big there egg is. Did you know that kiwis eggs are half of their body?. Well that was the first thing I learned about during the trip.The last and finally thing she told us was what they eat. What they eat is bugs any type of bugs.Kiwis sleep in the day and wake up in the day, so so told the parents and teachers to turn there flashlight off. As we took a step in it was dark, and what I saw was a kiwi. The kiwi came in front of the glass and was looking for some bugs to eat.There was also some more things like shells and butterflies. After we went outside to were the eels and birds were. We took a step and saw the eels. Our education told us a fact about eels. She said ‘ did you know that eels live and Tonga and come back when they grow up.Now it was time to go and see the birds. The education gave our parents a piece of paper of different type of birds. We only had ten minutes until lunch.After that ten minutes it was time to go back to our meeting place so that we could go to the bug lab.


We all went to the bug lab together. When we went in everyone was going crazy having fun but mostly playing with each other. Later having fun and all that stuff sadly it was time to go back to the meeting place to have some lunch and go on our last walk over.


After everybody finished they went to place to see more animals and some like us went to the kidz zone and had some fun. Meanwhile our group and another group went to see Africa to see the Zebra, Uno, and Giraffe. After a couple of minutes it was time to go back home.


I had fun because we got see and play around, but my favourite part was playing and eating food. Just can’t wait to go back and see the animals.

My catapult

Have you ever made a catapult at school? Well we made some and it was awesome. You are probably wondering why we made it.here's the reason why we made it was to learn how energy works. The energy we were learning about was potential energy that means it waiting liked stored. Another one of them is kinetic energy it means it ready to move like running. Then the last one is gravitational potential energy. Later we started making them.

The first thing we did was get six popsicle stick from our literacy teacher.Then you get three piece of sellotape. The next thing you do is get four out of six popsicle stick and stack it up like pancakes. Next you get your other two and put them together like a tweezers. Then you tape the one of the side. Finally you get your sticks and put it inside the stack, and there you have it your catapult.Now for the war.


We were given our only one secret weapon, a pompom. Then the war began. Everyone was going nuts and crazy on each other. It was going so crazy that and could barely see a pompom. Me and my friends Julianna, Kiarah , and Keyana were running away to room twenty three to escape from the war and not get shot. Suddenly out of nowhere Mr Moran came in and joyed. After a very long time Mr Moran yelled ‘stop’, everyone was frozen. After Miss King exclaimed ‘all the girls go to room twenty one and boys go to room twenty three.


As we were going to the rooms we were told I was thinking if we were having a battle. When we got to our rooms and sat down Miss King taped a square and a line for the battle of the zone. Miss King explained the rules to everyone she said ‘who ever get the ball in the square or near it they go into the finals’. Everyone was super excited. It was go .

Miss Teleso picked ten girls and one of them was me. We stepped up on the line with all our toes behind the line. None had got in, but wait there were eight lucky people who got in the finals. Miss King said ‘ first to three’. After the rounds it was the final one and the winners were Aaron and Jermaine.

I felt amazed and it was cool. My favourite part was when I shot it on Julianna’s head and she shot it back to me.I was puffed and it was cool.

My machines



I used five out of six simple machines for my rube goldberg, that were called wheel, screw, ramp, pulley, and wedge.


First thing that happens is my ball (wheel) knocks down four dominos (lever). Which the last one knocks another ball (wheel) which the ball goes down a twisty slide (screw). Next the ball (wheel) rolls down on three ramps (inclined plane). Then it drops straight down to a box with a spring (screw). Which then bounce into two ramps (inclined plane) then rolls down one ramp (inclined plane).After the ball hits a car (wheel and axle) then the car hit another ball (wheel) then the ball falls into a box, but a pulley comes and picks the ball (wheel) in a bucket. Later the bucket tips down on a ramp (inclined plane) then the ball goes down a screw.Then it goes on three ramps (inclined plane) which lands on a scissor ( wedge) that cuts a balloon then the balloon floats up to pushes a button then it get pop.
