This week we had played 2v2 for tennis. On one side of the net there were the champions and on the other side was the challengers. The ball gets served to the challengers first. The challengers only have 1 chance but the champions has 2. If the ball hits the net, doesn't go over the net, bounces 2 times, or gets out of the square then those people are out but if it was the champions they have another chance. At the end of the session the champions from each side of the court had competed against one another. It was Sione & Makaili vs Andrew and Hosea. The first duo to two points wins. There was a good rally but unfortunately Hosea and Andrew had lost with Sione and Makaili won.

This week for Kiwi Can we have been working on being patient. We talked about the things that make us impatient and the outcomes of being impatient. We played 2 games based on being patient. From those 2 games I have learnt that the more you are being patient the better the outcome, or you would achieve more and get a reward.

Wingspan | Flight Distance

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift.

This week for maths we have been continuing with our paper planes. This week we studied the wing span and how the flight distance would change depending on the wingspan. In our groups we all had done different tasks. One person would measure, another would record the data, one person would throw the planes at the same strength and another person would be the marker of where the plane landed. On the 5th plane there was a difference between all the others. The difference was that comparing that plane to all the others that specific plane never flew as far. It would've been been how the thrower never threw the plane at the same strength or something was wrong with the plane. 

Definitions | Words

LI: To create a DLO listing 10 words and finding the definitions.

This week the activity I had done for reading was, word definitions. The 10 words I had used was Parrafin, Bogus, Grouse, Partridges, Hordes, Mightn't, Hiding, Flabbergasted, Interval, and Inevitable.

LI: To describe a setting by using the 5 senses.
This week for writing we have been using the 5 senses to describe a setting. In our writing groups we all chose a setting together and we had to make a show and tell of it using the 5 senses. The 5 senses are hear, touch, taste, see, and smell. Our setting was the skytower. We done the tell as a group and made the show individually. For the tell sentences we had to just write some simple sentences based around the 5 senses, and for the show sentences we had to add figurative language and more descriptive language.

Supply and Demand | Goods and Services | Enterprise and Bussiness

LI: To understand how a business works.

Supply means when you have the amount of the product that is available to sell, and demand means the people and how many people are going to buy your product. This is called Supply and Demand. Without any supply you won't have any demand and without any demand your supply would go to the landfill or be wasted.

This week Mr Ogilvie had brought in a friend of his, her name was Michal. She came to talk about how she made her business and how it was successful. Her business is called "Foodprint". Foodprint is based on selling food half price that was going to be wasted from cafes.

Michal got her inspiration from food waste and how it is creating climate change around the world. When food is being wasted it is taken to landfill which creates a gas called methane. She also talked about how 3 billion pieces of food is being wasted and in 2019 we have the right amount of food to supply 7.5 billion people but about 1 billion people aren't getting enough food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Michal saw how this was a problem so that is why she created the app foodprint.

There is about 250 food stores that works with foodprint. Also there is 17,401 people using foodprint. She had planned out the app for 2 years and her business has been running for 6 months.

Michal's business it slowly reaching expectation and when she reaches that expectation then she would like to make her business go global not just in NZ, but around the world.
