The Girl and The Evil Man

The Girl and The Evil Man
Up on a hill, in western California, there lived a girl who had the
spirit of an angel. Dark brown, straight hair. A designer dress and
blue coloured diamond eyes.

One day, the girl and her family went to a concert . There was a man
who had yellow teeth, half a head of hair and old rotting clothes at the
concert. He wanted the girl so he waited for the perfect moment and he… 
Snatched! the girl and ran to his car. They drove to a cave deep in a forest
300 miles from the concert. 

In the cave sat the girl in old clothes now.

Back at the concert, the girl’s parents were freaking out.  They asked
everyone if they had seen her. No one knew where she went until a little
girl from the back of the crowd mumbled “A man ran that way.”
She pointed towards the forest. 
“The forest?” everyone asked confusedly.
“The forest is 300 miles from here. Are you sure?” 
the parents asked.
“Sure” replied the girl. 
“Okay” the parents said. They got in  the car and took off towards the
forest. They finally arrived at the forest and started to hike 
“Look look a cave” shouted the mother  
“Where almost there”
“Yay” replied the father


Meanwhile…
The man spotted the girls parents and picked up the girl and ran
deeper into the forest.“excuses me”
 “what little girl” the man rudely replied
“I can see my mum and dad. It was nice to be kidnapped by you but
now it is time for me to go home.”said the girl
“g g go home”the man stutterd 
“Why yes”replied the girl”
“Are you um what's the word for it…”
“Stuped?” 
“Yes are you stuped?”
“I don't know, are you?” replied the girl 
“no!” the man yelled 
Qwickly after the man heard a noise “up there” “there he is” the girl's
parents yelled. 
“I think your the stuped one” the girl laughed 
“You know what Shut Up”   
“ok”Syrup

If we got under 18 points we had to do it again we were marked 

1 point for correct formula written out 
2 points for a set layout and working out 
1 point for the correct answer and
1 point for correct units of measure 

I had to do the test again because my layout was wrong.

My Adrenalin Forest Experience

Adrenaline Forest!

On Wednesday the 12th of August, some of the year 7 & 8s from 
Ata Hapara and Tangaroa went to Adrenalin Forest via van.

I woke on Wednesday with so much energy I could do a backflip - literally. I got ready and jumped in the car to head off to school.

At school, one of my best friends was waiting for me. "Jade" I yell.
"Mailli," she yelled back. 
Shortly after, my other bestie, Kahu showed even more excited than me. We were jumping up and down in excitement. because we were going to Adrenaline Forest.

Suddenly Nogo, a teacher from Tangaroa, walked in. He wanted to do a roll to see who was there. Kahu and I were nervous because Naquita wasn't there yet but luckily just as Nogo was leaving, Naquita showed up. Then we left to go to Adrenaline Forest.

Once we got to Adrenaline Forest, the instructors told us to put our bags at the back of the forest. After that we buddied up to get our harnesses on. Then one of the instructors showed us how to use our harness. At first I wasn't the best at clipping on and off but I got the hang of it.

Finally it was time to climb.  I started on stage one and found it too easy. Oh did I mention all the stages have an a.b and c part. Then I skipped to stage 3b which was jusst zip lines, but it was still fun.

The Eel Life cycles

Today I learnt about the eel life cycles

The eel's eggs start off in the salt water. The eggs hatch there and are now called larva and then the larva float to the estuary. It takes about 1 year for the larva to get to the estuary and are now glass eels. From there, the eels move to live in rivers and lakes and are now elvers. From there, they just grow to be an adult and then the adults swim to the salt water, lay their eggs, die and repeat.



















Maths using Volume


Today in maths I learnt about volume. Volume is measured in cubic cm, mm, metres

The formula for volume is 

Volume = length x width x height

V=l x w x h
   =12m x 4m x 3m
   =144m3(cubic metres)

I got it at first now I have to work on more problems.


Then Nogo made us do this problem: we had to find the volume of a sandpit that was 16m by 11m and 1.5m tall. The volume of the sandpit was 264m3  
V= l x w x h, 16m x 11m x 1.5m =264m3
The sand was $4 per cubic metre multiplied by the volume of the sandpit which was 264m3 which equalled $1056. 
Then we had to find 30% discount and the total overall cost.

Estimate Distances

Today in Nogo's math class we are learning to estimate distances with our pacing

It took me 506 of my foot length for 100 metres
