5 Resons Why Living In The Country Is Better Than Town
With some of our writing with Mrs Bennett we did persuasive writing which is a type of writing when you and another person is debating on something like e.g Zoos should be banned.

Hypertufa Pots
Last Thursday with Mrs Allan room four started to make Hypertufa pots and how we did that was . . .
Firstly we got a bit of cardboard and we shaped it into any kind of shape, I just did a simple square. Once you had your shape you put tape on it to keep the shape in place. Then you completely cover the cardboard on the outside and the inside. Once you have done that you grab another bit of cardboard to place on the bottom. You stick the bottom to the shape with loads of tape so it doesn't leak out. We had to make a small hole with our pencil at the bottom of the cardboard for a place for water to drip out of.
Then we mixed together perlite, concrete, water and Pete so it was in between lumpy and watery. Before we put any concrete into the cardboard we got some blue tack and a round container that fits perfectly inside of the cardboard. We made the bit of blue tack about 2cm long and stuck it into the hole we made and balanced the container on top. We carefully packed the concrete down the sides and at the bottom of the cardboard.
After 1 week we went up to the shade house where we had kept our Hypertufa pots. Room four rushed back to class to destroy our creations so we could get our pot out.
They look really cool but now our class smells like a garden centre.

Best Tech Yet
Today for tech the year 7's woodwork teacher was sick so our principal was going to do something with us. Mr Knight choose to do robotics with us. We had one and 1/2 hours to complete out robots and we were going to have a soccer game with them. Our teams were Duncan, Maranga and Jaimee then Hayley and myself. The skill we were focusing on was teamwork. Neither of the teams had finished our creations so Mr Knight said he will find some time so we can finish our robots and have a big soccer game. It was really hard to find the pieces that we needed and also how to connect the batteries. Overall it was really fun and a great way to fill in our tech time.
Here's the robot Hayley and I are close to finishing . . .
