Kowhaiwhai patterns

Today before and after morning tea we did Kowhaiwhai patterns for an art project. The reason we were doing it was because it was for symmetry. We had to create a kowhaiwhai pattern on a piece of paper and then draw it on a plank of wood. Then you start painting the picture on the wood with red,black and white.

Chess

Today we played chess to try get into the Southland Otago chess championships. To get into the championships we had to finish in the top 6 placings on the chess leaderboard. I finished 3rd on the leaderboard by beating Connor G in chess time. I won the game by beating him in points. I was also winning from the very start of the game to the very end of the game. Robert just hopped in the top 6 because Jack wasn't able to make the championship. 

Passion time

Today I did passion time with Marshmallow(Max). We changed our scooter design plan. Instead of designing a scooter we are going to make  a scooter. The scooter I'm going to make is going to be red and black. Next fortnight we might have some one from SIT over to help us.This is my scooter plan(above).

Passion time

Today was the first day for passion time. I did scooter design with Marshmallow (Max). We looked at other scooter logos to create our own logos for our own designed scooter. Today I finished the clamp and my scooter logo. My scooter name is CASPER SCOOTERS. My scooter's badge is a smiling demon. Next time we should be creating a set of scooter bars and maybe some grips.  

ANZAC Keynote

Today I did the ANZAC day "Where in the world?" keynote. I had to search the web for some answers to put on the keynote page. Some questions were really hard to find and some were easy to find. Some questions involved World War 1.

First day for term 2

Today was the first day back for term 2. We started off with some speed stacks and some chess. I played Travis in chess and won. Next we played a Wilson game. We played criss-cross and 5-ball. Criss-cross is when you have a large group of people and put them in two lines. Then you give 1-5 balls to each team and they throw diagonally missing out the person in front of them. The first team to get all the balls to the other end is the winner. 5-ball is when you are in 2 group circles throwing five balls around for 10 seconds not throwing the ball to the same person or the person beside you. After 10 seconds the people holding the balls hold them up. The team with the most balls left wins.
