If you want you should try it because it was really good. Have you ever tasted a mug cake if you have tell me in the comments did you like it ? 

In term 2 week 3 our hub did the Caritas Challenge. The Caritas Challenge involves picking either the sweat it challenge, move it challenge or the live it challenge. The sweat it challenge is when you people bring in used toys and sell them on a market day. Live it challenge is when you live like the people in Timor Leste that includes staying over night and the move it challenge is when nonstop sport for a certain number of hours. Our hub picked the live it challenge and to make the day more exciting we also did a mini sweat it challenge and a mini move it challenge. We then got put into groups to organise what we were going to do during in these challenges. I got put in the mini sweat it. First our group made a time for the market to begin on day we were doing the live it challenge. Then we got our school to bring in any second hand toys, books and games to sell on the market. Some of us got to stay and help with the market but I didn't because I had my sisters Netball that I ha...

Do you now what the wahine disaster is about ? Well that's what I am going to share with you now it has been my recount and I know term 1 is over but but I still have't showed what I did so sit back and read away PS: I hope you like it and had a great holiday. The Wahine Story “Robertson Gordon”!!! I repeat “Robertson Gordon”!!! ‘The seas are getting really rough out there’, said the harbour master, you should  either turn back or risk it and  push on to Wellington”.  It was the 10th of April 1968 and the ferry was travelling from Christchurch to Wellington their were two storms raging and they were going to meet.  One storm was coming  from the North and one from the South Island. Robertson Gordon ( Captain/me  ) said “thanks but we will risk it.” I knew I should had pulled the boat around but I chose not to. Getting to Wellington that was my plan and the ferry engine started and the people were so excited that's why I didn’t want to turn around...

This Term we have been doing a science project with or without a buddy. I chose with a buddy and that was Logan because I think we work really well together. This week we have been focusing on our background research and hypothesis and that's what I am going to be sharing with you. Hypothesis It will affect its travel because the wings of a plane play a big role in aerodynamics and its travel of a plane. The different wing span will make the paper airplane go further because the air will keep it going. Background research The way that a paper airplane works is that while the plane is flying forward, air moving over and on the bottom of the wings providing lift. If the wings are longer it fly better because the wings providing air through longer wings will keep it going. Paper Airplane I hope you learned a lot about my background. Have you been doing a science project if you have what is your question ?    

On the second week of term 2 some year 7 to 8 students got to go out to a teacher's conference this was called voice and choice. That is when some students go to a teacher's conference and speak about what goes on your school but the students say what goes on not the teachers. So me and Trent had to come up with a speech to say to the other teachers that were there. We all got a topic to speak about and a buddy to come up with what we presented ( mine was Trent ). There was a number of topics and our topic was science. This term we get to come up with our own science project and we get to go with a buddy. Mine is Logan and our project is "how does the shape of a paper plane's wings affect its travel distance?" This is mine and Trent's speech. Hi my name is Reuben and this is Trent and we will be sharing with you what it is like in science for the Kaupeka hub for kids. Last term we started to do some science we got to chose out of chemistry, Biology and ph...
