Welcome back! It's Vann. Do you remember me? I am now a year 7! Yes! Last week all the year 7's went sailing. Like We did last year in HPS, but now I am in HHS and I missed HPS. We rode a bus to get there and the other year 7's went in the double Decker bus. The destination was not that far away. I was sitting with Axle. Also we were laughing like crazy people. Then suddenly we arrived into our destination. The instructors told the teachers to put us in groups.
There were three groups, group 1, group 2 and group 3. I got into group 1 with Jullien and Gerald and lots more. But they were the only one I know. Afterwards the instructors told us to go at our groups and then they told us to get our boat and sit back down. The instructors gave us really long instructions but it was for our safety. Next they said that we had to make a group of 3 - 4 so we went to a group. I was with Jullien and Gerald, then a someone showed up and joined our group and we were now a grou of four. We were all Filipinos which was easy so we can communicate a lot easier. So we started building our boat, it was a little bit tricky because 2 of our group didn't know what to do, so Jullien and I were the only one that knew what to do because we did this last year in HPS. After that we finally finished our sailing boats... Then we sailed along in the lake.
We had to help others to get off the boat because you had to balance the boat so your boat doesn't flip over... Also there was a time when we can swim in the lake and it was really deep and really hard to swim because we had life jackets on. Then I said to Jullien and Gerald. To look down, and we looked, we started panicking because it was really deep and there might be some alien creatures like a mermaid or something below so we started going back... Then we sailed again and again. After that it was to time to change back in our clothes. It was really hard to change because there were no doors. Then we went back HHS and said thank you to the instructors. Next it was our time to go in the double Decker bus. Then we went back to HHS and I really enjoyed it and I was really tired... But that's all the things that happen and I hope you enjoy! See you next time!
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Sailing Into The Bermuda Triangle! (Soike)

Olympics Day! (Athletics Day...)
Yesterday, we had an Athletics day all the children at different rooms were there too. There were 6 events, or 7 because there was a event where you can rest. But there was sprints, long distance, shot put, discus, high jump and long jump. My favorite one was sprints, long distance, long jump and high jump. When I was doing the sprints I felt kind of scared because I was versing fast people. But then when it started I came second place and I felt very proud of myself. Then we had a final with all the people that won, and I came second again!
After we sprinted we rested at the resting area. Then the bell rang and we went to shot put, but I didn't really did that good in shot put. Next we went to long distance. The teacher gave us the rules, and then the 10 year old boys sprinted at the field, we had to do 4 laps of the field. I looked around me and I was second place. A couple of minutes ago I stared puffing and I also started to go slower but I got my second lap. After that I finished my 4th lap and I was second place again. After that we went to the resting area again, me and my friends were playing slaps. Next the bell rang, this time we were going to discus. I found discus really hard so my goal was to get better at shot put and discus.
But then we went to high jump, it was one of my favorite event. I was more used jumping using my right foot so I went into the right side. After 3 - 4 rounds I started failing and hurting myself a bit so I stopped. Then the last event long jump, I jumped from 2.5 meters. But I didn't did that well but that is also one of my goal. But I think I did really good on athletics and I hope I get better at it. Baboosh!

Mariana French (Mariana Trench)
Last week we have been doing a information report, we had a choice of what report we are doing like history. But I did the ocean, I chose the ocean because I liked it. It took me 1 week to finish this report because I wasn't here at Friday. But at least I finished it at home. I also have drawing of the two animals that I drew. Anyways I hope you enjoy and I hope you learnt something... Baboosh!

Mysteries Of The Deep...
The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world’s oceans. It is 10,994 meters deep. It is located in the Western Pacific Ocean, an average of 200 kilometres (124 miles) to the east of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific East of the Philippines. It is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth's crust. So are you interested now? No!? “What do you mean no?” Fine how about this.. How about we learn about learn about the people that succeeded to go at the bottom of the Mariana Trench? Ok! Let’s go follow me…!
So it’s called Mariana Trench, and at the very bottom was the lowest point on Earth’s surface, “The Challenger Deep..” Its floor was seven terrifying miles down!
“No that has to be fake..!” Don’t believe me again? Hehe well read this. What lives at the bottom of the Mariana Trench? “Pretty scary down there..”
Are you still diving with me? If you are, we have lots to dive through like sharks! “Nah, I was just kidding…” I’m pretty sure you don’t want to dive /through sharks…
Are you enjoying about what I have said so far about the Mariana Trench and the Challenger deep? “Cool!” Because I have some more..!
But of course he wasn't the first spectator.. A different looking sub was invented, “The Bathyscaphe Trieste.” It was invented in 1960, but the Bathyscaphe Trieste was unable to observe much, and for whatever reason, little seemed to reach the public about what has been found since. Back in February, all footage of the Challenger dives and landers are being withheld by National Geographic until their can release their own 3-D feature film. Perfectly understandable, considering they helped bankroll the huge operation. The result, though, is that after all these visits to Challenger Deep, the view of the bottom remains largely and frustratingly shrouded to the rest of us. He went a little bit further than James Cameron too.
Now i’m probably wondering that you are thinking of krakens or other insane animals. But sadly there ain't no krakens at the Challenger Deep. But there will be a lot of cute or creepy alien looking animals in this report.
It’s an octopus that is very cute. It got it’s name from the elephant named dumbo… It’s called a Dumbo Octopus because it has ears like the elephant Dumbo. But this adorable animals has some special features, it has wiggly eyes and a pleasant puckered mouth. But that only adds to it’s cartoonish looks.
This may look dainty, but it’s actually strong enough to make it the deepest living octopus
Known to science..
It actually choose to make it’s home all the way down between 9,800 and 13,000 feet, or
2. “The Deep Sea DragonFish” If the Dumbo Octopus is the least harmless looking animal.
Well this Dragonfish is the opposite. With it’s oversized teeth and his hideous face, the dragon fish is an assassin of the incomprehensible deep. Although this fish has no scales but it has very slippery, slimy skin that resembles an eel’s body…
The Dragonfish about 6 inches or 15 centimeters long, it prefers to swim between 700 and 6,000 feet, or 213 and 1,828 meters. Under the surface. So the Dumbo Octopus swims more deeper that this creature. But this Dragonfish likes to be in the cold and lightless water. But I actually thought that the water there should be hot because it is closer to the Earth’s core. But they said it is cold, and some said it was warm with a little bit of coldness…
3. Now let’s go to my favorite one, the “Goblin Shark” If you have ever seen any scary alien movies, this creepy alien looking shark might ruin your day. Goblin sharks have a protruding snout that looks like a pointy sword. Just below the snout are a set of protruding jaws that appear to be mismatched for the shark’s face.
If you can’t see some of the pictures just reload the page and hopefully it will work. But there are tons more of facts about this mysterious, ancient Mariana Trench. But I will let you explore the other things that I didn't say in this report. But I hope you enjoy! Peace Out...

I Need Feedbacks!!
This term we were reading our novel books, my novel was "Number The Stars!" The author's name was Lois Lowry. But If you don't know what Number The Stars is I'll tell you a little bit. I's basically a story about Germans and Jewish people. The leader of the Germans thought that the Jewish people were bad but they weren't actually bad. Then the Germans started killing Jewish people or put them into jail. That's the little bit, but we had to make a character traits about the characters in the story, but if you don't know what character traits mean it means that you are telling about the character like their very helpful.
But anyways we made a slide show about our characters, but it's still in work in progress. But the purpose of this is: To get feedback about your character description so you know what you've done well and how you can improve. That's why I am posting this it's because I need feedback of what I should do next or if I should change anything. But anyways that's pretty much it and please don't forget to give me feedback about my character traits. Bye!
