Introduction to blog 2021

 Hi. My names Kate and I’m a year 8. I’m a Chinese and my height is around 1.6-7 m tall and I go to Otaki College. I enjoy art and often enough, writing and my family consists of my parents and 2 siblings. I don’t have a favourite subject since I don’t have enough opinions on all of them. My favourite colours bubblegum red and I love chocolate though I’ll never bite down into liquorice. I HATE sports and I would rather do a really hard algebra question then run a 2 k running race. 

Athletics Day writing

 Athletics Day

---

I caressed the singular leaf I had pulled off, before ripping a hole into its rubbery skin and attempting to shove my hand into the poor thing. It fell into halves, as I expected and the remains slowly drifted to the ground, joining its brotherliness in the line of being compost. 

I had forgotten to bring green clothes for athletics day. Heck, I actually forgot it was sports day but I was lucky enough to have brought my normal P.E ones. But again I didn’t actually HAVE green clothes in my defence.

Pulling onto a bush of a bush, I snapped off a twig and again attempted to wrap it around my arm and knot it. But again, it snapped. Dang it. I raised my arm once again and tugged at the bush; when I suddenly pulled at what I thought was part of the tangle of leaves, when it separated from the tree while both sides of the line were still intertwined through the branches of the bush. Then I realised… vines! Beautiful stick like things that are a lot more bendy and is known for wrapping around things! Perfect.

So I begun to follow the vine-wrapping trail until I thought it was long enough and using my fingernails, snapped it and repeated the process with the other side. Once I was done,  I tried to make a bracelet and guess what? It worked! With a confident grin, I finally left. Good. The rustling of the leaves were slowly sounding like they were laughing at me even though it only was a few minutes.

We are supposed to make a research project researching something that we saw/do/heard at camp.

I didn't know a lot of these glowworm facts like how glowworms refer to two kind of species then just one.

Have you seen a glowworm?

Strategies I Love To Use Slide

We were learning different ways to work out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions.

I mostly knew most of the strategies but forgot the division one so I guess I re-learnt the division algorithm tactic?

Are there any better strategies that could be easier to use then the ones I showed?
