Dancing Ghost
Dancing Ghost
For a science experiment we did the Floating Ghost.
First we had to blow up a balloon, then I had tear a tissue to it's smallest slit and cut a ghost shape out. Then I rubbed the balloon on my head and put the ghost under the balloon while pinching the bottom of the ghost. It seemed to float up towards the balloon. This is because of invincible electrons building up on the balloon when you rub your heir on the balloon, which pulls smaller objects towards it.

Cool Cars
Today at Monday Mashup we had to make a car that moved. We could only make the base of the car.
It was still very fun and we had a good time. Have you done something like this before? Please comment down below.

Today we had to do an experiment. First we had to blow up a balloon. Then we had to tape both ends of the balloon. We then had to poke a skewer through the taped end of the balloon. The balloon did not deflate. Have you done this experiment before?

Chariots of Fire
We made a Sphero Chariots of Fire. First we had to sketch the design and then made it with Cardboard, Bottle Tops and straws. The wheels were loose so we had to modify the axle. We made a plastic flap were the Sphero would be so it could go at MAX speed and not be too fast, and so the Sphero didn't come out. I was impressed we won the Sphero race, as I did not think we could. We only had to change the axle. We had to be Resilient when the axle did not work, and Success when we won.

The Archamis Backstory - Dungeons And Dragons - Prologue
Prologue
I slam the door open. It is a stormy night. Then crackle of thunder strikes. The rain pours onto my head. Rambow the Fighter shuffles in past me and then starts gazing at the bard, a Dragon-Born. I walk up to the counter and slam my fist down. The pub becomes quiet. "Beer." I say. The man in front of me opens the cabinet and grabs the biggest cup he could find and pours the beer. I go sit down at a lonesome table. I table of three Men and two Woman stand up and leave. I scowl at them as they leave. Just because I'm a Half Orc doesn't mean I'm not nice. Just then the door swings open and hits one of the men in the face. A human walks in. The human wears green robes, Druid robes (In case you don't know, Druids are people who deeply care about nature an can call upon the forces of nature to help them). She walks up to the counter and orders some butter-beer. She comes and sits next to me. Rambow breaks his gaze with the bard and orders some ale. He comes and sits down at the table with me and the Druid. I notices that the tips of the humans heir are tied up in a bun with a thorn. She unravels the thorn and a mas of blond heir comes down to her shoulders. the tips of her heir are a dark green. Rambow then breaks the silents at the table "So whats your name kid?" He asks the Druid. "Rowan." She says in reply. "So whats your-" Before she can finish the door slams open and a young Elf walks in, a Wood Elf. She kicks the door closed and walks up to the counter. She slams a knife down on the counter and before we know it, shes holding a cup of Wood Beery Juice, a Wood Elf's favorite. She smiles down at the drink, and then looks up and glares at the man, who is quivering with fear. She strides over our table and slumps herself down next to Rambow. "So, whats your-" "Rambow." Answers Rambow. "Can I finish a sentence!?!?" Rowan says angrily. Then the music coming from the Bard stops and everyone starts claping and cheering (A Bard is a person who makes music and magic). Just then the Wood Elf Throws her empty cup at the man who poured her Juice. He fumbles to grab the cup, which falls to the floor. He then picks it up, drops it on the counter, and pours some beer. He runs out as fast as he can, spilling it on himself as he goes. He gives it to the Wood Elf, who snatches it off him. Everyone is staring at our Table, most at the Wood Elf, some at me. "What?" She says, and everyone goes back to doing what they where doing. The Bard then strides over to our table "Hello everyone!" Says the Bard. "My name is Sial." "My name is Strange." Said the Wood Elf. "My name is Rowan, this is Rambow and this is..." As she points her finger at me I start to feel a little bit grumpy that she didn't ask my name "Archamis." A smile spreads across the Bards face. She sits down at the seat at the end of the table. Now that everyone is settled, I am ready to tell them my story.

Year 6 Camp
Week 8 I went on camp to the Waipara Adventure Centre.I thought camp was exciting because of The Waterslide and The Giant Swing.(They were pretty cool!) Raft Building, Air Rifles and Archery were fun too. At camp, I expected to feel nervous, excited, scared. My favourite activity was Giant Swing.The activity I found most challenging was Bridge building and Confidence Course.Other things I enjoyed were Air Rifles, Waterslide and Archery.(They were exiting!!!) I can't wait for me and my family to go camping at Waipara again!!!!

My Letter To Wakefield Students.
This is my letter to the Wakefield students who had to evacuate in the nelson fire. I have written this letter to make you feel better.
Dear Wakefield students…
I know how you feel, it’s scary.
I was in the 2009 earthquake.
I was only a baby.
Shelfs, Windows and Paintings fell down.
Please listen to your parents and stay safe.
Look on the bright side.
It will get better.
From Abe.
