Simple Machines (MOTAT)
We went to MOTAT to learn and discover more about simple machines. MOTAT stands for Museum of Transport and Technology. We had Melissa as our instructor.
At MOTAT we first went to the future train and had a turn each on the driver’s seat. Then we went to the Steam House. There was a man who was telling us about the history of the steam machines.
Then we all gathered up at the tram station waiting for the tram. We all sat patiently waiting to reach the other end. It was an exciting experience because all my friends were in the tram with me. We giggled and laughed and quickly reached the other end. The driver spoke about how the tram worked.
After that we went with Melissa to a class to learn about first, second and third Levers. The first lever was a plier, second was a nut cracker, and finally the last was a tong. This was new information that I learnt.
There were new exhibits at the assembly point. For the first time I saw an olden day tank and other army transport vehicles. I was fascinated to see the army vehicles which looked smaller than what we see in movies.
It was an awesome experience for me and at the same time it was fun. I learnt that simple machines make life easier for people. I hope we can go back there again and have more time to learn about transport.

Swimming Recount.
One very sunny day at the Glenbrae pool, the students from room 10 were first to go for their swimming lesson. The instructors were waiting for us.
First they tested how good we are at swimming and they divided us into three ability groups.
I was in the top group. I went inside the pool which was as cool as the waters in the Atlantic Ocean.
The instructors taught us how to swim using freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke.
At the end of the lesson I felt like it was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. It was exhausting at the same time.

Bio Poem
Christian,
Handsome, Tall and Smart
Lover of Maths, Sport and Food
Who wonders why people kill each other
Who fear chickens, dogs and people who talk too much.
Who feels calm when listening to music, happy when jogging and a little angry when my brother is annoying.
Who is able to stay focussed when he is doing his work
Who would like to play for the All Blacks, Bungy jump and go to the moon,
Who dreams that racism and poverty would be eradicated.
