Harry Potter night!

On Friday Room 7 had a Harry Potter themed quiz night! Where you had to dress up as your favourite character, I dressed up as Bellatrix. There was also a best dressed competition and a candlelight supper. We all had to bring something to share and I brought a plate of Hogwarts muffins. At 6:20 we left to pick up Victoria then we went straight to Trinity hall. First Victoria and I had a walk around then we got put into groups for the quiz we were both put into nearly headless nick. I thought we did pretty good. After a while we found out we lost. :( After Dad came to pick up Victoria and I. Once we droped off Victoria we went home and I thought it was a cooleo night!!!

Current Events Week 10 Christchurch Quake.

In Christchurch on Saturday morning at 4:00 there was a big earth quake. It was as big as the Hati earthquake! But nobody died & I think that's a miracle! Schools are closed & people have to go to the toilet outside & their parents have to boil water before they drink it. My Sister & her friend were upstairs & they said they felt it & got scared. My Dad said he heard the house crack. But I slept right through it. Buildings have been crashed & on the Ritcher scale it was 7.1. people have been having to sleep in a high school where nice people and the Salvation Army are having fun by setting up board games & other stuff like that & the Salvation Army is dishing up food. I think it is very nice & caring. I hope it gets better.

There are a lot of famous authors in the world but today I'm going to talk about one I admire, her name is Joanne Rowling. Joanne has written several books but the most known is the Harry Potter series because they are adventurous, exciting, mysterious and intriguing. Joanne got the idea of Harry Potter while on a train, she says it just popped into her head. Joanne has not only written Harry Potter.

Totara Trading

On the 20/8/10 Totara syndicate had Totara trading. First I went to Lauren, Aimee and Bianca's stool, they were selling cupcakes and mystery envelopes. I bought a cupcake and a mystery envelope. Then I just had a look around I also bought, a brownie, 2 packs of stickers, a balloon full of flour thing, a soda stream drink (Cola) and a bag of popcorn. To start off I had $195 Totara and now I'm left with $151 Totara. I thought I had spent more but I didn't! So I'm happy about that! :) It was the best trading day ever!!!!:)

Once there was a hobit called Bilbo and he was on a walk to the park but then he came to a sudden stop. "Wow! Thats such a cool cave!" Bilbo had spotted a big cave. " Hmmm... i wonder whats inside!" Bilbo waddled into the cave. Then his heart stoppted beating for a few seconds. "Arhhh!! A dragon! Help!" Bilbo saw a dragon! With big house sized teeth and razer sharp claws. Bilbo ran away as fast as he could. "Help! Help! A dragons after me!" Bibo caught up with his friends. "Have you gone mad?" Said his friend Tim "NO!! A dragon is back there!

T-H-E - E-N-D!!

The Great Car Race

On the ninth of August 2010 Totara syndicate had the Great Car Race. They all had to be powered by one rubber band only. Every teacher from the syndicate choose two people to enter. From our class Jonathan choose Max and Bianca. (Hers was really good!) We all packed into Trinity hall in two lines with a gap for the cars. First was Cameron, then Ella T, some other people and then I could see Bianca looking very confident. She put her car down and... 13.64 meters!!! Yay! Everybody was cheering so loud! Bianca won! Yay! :) She looked embarrassed but Dave looked amazed! Kids still cheering loud.
My opinion is I thought it was a fun experience!
I learnt that you can use just one rubber band to power a whole car and how to transfer potential energy into kinetic energy.
