Zespri Challenge

 My Class Started The Zespri Challenge started this Zespri Challenge 3 weeks ago but at first, everyone was shacking the Fitbit to get more steps but then the teacher would take the FitBit of them if they keep shacking the FitBit so everybody stopped shacking the FitBit and every Class in the Nelson block goes on walks half block or the full block or the park across the road from the school.

on the 2nd day, my Fitbit keeps lagging out and I had to keep resetting the FitBit and I can't get my FitBit to a high number but then I just leave the Fitbit be and let it do its thing, and then my dad fixed my Fitbit for me then it stopped lagging out and now I get to a high number like 28411 steps but also I have to walk up an enormous hill or down Te Horo beach road and the hill. and I get like 2000 both ways down Te Horo Beach road and like 1000 up and down the hill.

My class has been going on walks mostly every day and sometimes we go with other classes like N9 And N6.

Kaylis Peneha Scholarship

 This is about this boy named kaylis peneha and kaylis is in my class and he got awarded a five-year basketball scholarship at Scots College in Wellington. When kaylis applied  Kaylis had to go through a Hard examination process after applying to attend Scots College and then Kaylis got awarded entry on a general scholarship.

 Scots College Basketball coach, Kenny McFadden Supported kaylis receiving a general scholarship, recognising his sporting passion and talent. 

but then it came to be a great surprise to be offered the Steven Adams scholarship which identifies one student and supports them throughout their college years. The timing is perfect as the inaugural recipient is about to finish year 13 at Scots College, and the scholarship will be passed on to kaylis from next year. 

Kaylis has previously attended two Steven Adams training camps, notably New Zealand's highest profile professional basketball to ever play in the professional American Basketball league.

Steven Adams, who now plays his basketball in the USA for the Memphis Grizzlies, attended Scots College and his training camps and scholarships are generous ways of encouraging and supporting aspiring young basketball players hoping to pursue professional careers in basketball.

One of Kaylis basketball coaches Paxman Taurima of Ngati Raukawa Basketball says the Club members are really pleased for Kaylis.

All of us here at Raukawa Basketball are excited for kaylis and the opportunities this scholarship will provide kaylis, says Paxman. On top of being really talented, kaylis is just a really good kid and Kaylis and his Family really do deserve this.

And My Question For Kaylis is are you going to stay at the boarding school or are you going to get dropped off every day.

My Labour Weekend

On my Labour Weekend, I And my Dad And my Brother went to Go Karting And Rock Climbing in Wellington. Before we went to Wellington we stopped in Paraparaumu And got McDonald's for breakfast. Then headed off to Wellington And went Go Karting first. Then we went Rock Climbing next but we needed a book-in for a session. We got a session at 3:00. So we went to the Dockside Restaurant across from Rock Climbing. I and my Brother got Mocktails and a little snack before Rock Climbing. Then it was time to go Rock Climbing. Then after all of the fun activities, we explored Wellington on our Escooters around Wellington.

D.I.M.C Problem solving

My Favourite D.I.M.C Problem was Scrooge McDuck so the problem was that Scrooge McDuck never spends $1 coins or $10 notes- he saves them. Every now and then he also adds a $50 note to the money he saved. One Day he counts up his savings and discovers that he has saved exactly $550 made up of a total of 50 coins and/or notes. 

Find out how many $1.00 coins $10 notes and $50 notes he has saved and prove that this is the only possible solution. 

So with my Group we did gusse and check and we use ten nine ten and then we change the the nine with four and we got out of a total of $24 coins/notes and and the exactly $550 but not the coins/notes and the my Group was Lilley Aillie and Jesscia and me Lulu. 

The Science Roadshow

 Yesterday The Science Roadshow people came in and the people that was the host was Jess Mary and  and the host talk about gas and the gas were Hydrogen and Nitrogen and Oxygen and Helium and they did a fire tornado with metal bin to make it twirl up and the explosions to and my favourite project  was the honey one and the rocket gun one to because honey one was that you get to taste one and you do a little quiz and pick the one you tasted and for the rocket gun one it was super fun and you get to shoot the target and the long paper bullet was the fast on and  it went really far to and i miss and hit the target to.  

D.I.M.C

Today we did D.I.M.C for maths and we had to solve the problem and the problem that we had to solve was on like us so how we solve the problem was  we went backwards and started with the hundred and take away the Fifty and half the Fifty and that will equal Twenty five and we plus the twenty five with the six and that equal thirty one so they ate thirty one cookies in one day
