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! I found a cave and a dragon was in it!!" "Come on, lets take you home." Said Tim. "Fine!"

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.
