Softball Tournament

On Sunday last week I had a softball tournament and we versed 3 other teams so there was 4 teams in total, We played PCU and to riccarton teams.

The first team we versed was PCU they were the best team in the tournament and we lost that game then we played riccarton and we won that game 3-2.

The we versed the last riccarton team and we tied that game then we had a break and then we found out that we didn’t make it into the finals because it was for the team that won their last game they had and we won but not by enough points so we came third.

Then we all found out that two people in our team made it to the south island team and the canterbury team we were all proud of them.

Then on saturday last week we had to play PCU and we lost that game because we only had one person get home but we had fun.

The positions I play are Center outfield, Left outfield and 3rd base and first base, and sometimes when I am off I go behind the fence and sometimes I help the catcher by standing behind them just in case the ball goes behind them.

The thing I like about softball is it is fun and it gets you out of the house so what if you get hurt everyone should play it is a really fun game and I will recommend it for people that love to smack balls with a bat and I never give up.

Just because I lose it is still fun because I get to meet some of the greatest people and I made some new friends.

Next season I am going to play and I am going to be under 15 next season

4.  Put the white cup on the white paper
5.  Pour the water in the cups 1/4 way
6. Turn the heat lamp on and put it in front of all the cups
7. Put a timer on for 15 minutes and wait
8. When that 15 minutes is up put the thermometer in the cup for 1 minute then  take it out for 1 minute and see what it is
9. Do all the other cups
10. Record your findings
11. Lastly do your conclusion

Mars

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The Mars 2020 rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. The two front and two rear wheels also have individual steering motors. This steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The four-wheel steering also allows the rover to swerve and curve, making arcing turns.
Solar Panel	The Mars 2020 rover requires electrical power to operate. Without power, the rover cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. Mars 2020 carries a radioisotope power system. This power system produces a dependable flow of electricity using the heat of plutonium's radioactive decay as its "fuel." The power source is called a "Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator" or MMRTG for short. The MMRTG converts heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electricity. This power system charges the rover's two primary batteries. The heat from the MMRTG is also used to keep the rover's tools and systems at their correct operating temperatures.
Laser
Camera
Shovel, rock pick,drill

Revolution Tour

Revolution Tour

• What was the best thing/s about the tour?

We got the opportunity to go on stage if people got picked and this guy Reggie asked you some questions about bullying and he was the one that runs it.

He asked us a question about hope and what it means and people said hope means trust.

• What did I learn from the talk?

I learnt new things about bullying and how it isn't nice, so if you bully then people won't want to be your friend, so start being nice to others.

• How did I feel when we had the talk?

I felt really emotional because Reggie talked about him and it was really sad because he talked about how his mum turned into a prostitute for money to feed his brother and sister then she found out that she was pregnant with Reggie and she didn't want him so he got adopted to another family that wanted him.

That is why I felt that way because it is really sad to hear that your parents don't want you.

Something I am going to do is be nice. I am going to be nice by letting people join in and letting them share ideas  if they have them.
