Yesterday we did top team. Top team is a game run by Canterbury Primary Sports. There were lots of activity where you would get a score and at the end they would add up the score and the team with the highest overall score won. We got to do water activities which I didn’t like because there was a cold wind. We also had the normal stuff like egg races and sack races. Overall it was fun because it was better than doing school work. I used all the RISE values.
In New Zealand we have fishing rules to help prevent over fishing. In New Zealand 76 percent of native fresh water fish have the threat of extinction. The most popular fish to catch in New Zealand is snapper, Snapper/tamure is one of the most common fish to see in New Zealand.
In 2015 in New Zealand 17 percent of the fish caught were thought of as being over-fished. The most valuable fish to catch in New Zealand is whitebait. In New Zealand there is no weight limit for the amount of whitebait you can catch which leads white bait to being very over-fished.
Another thing seawater animal people like to eat is Kina it is a close relative to sea stars and is easily recognised as a type of marine animal. They also eat entire coral reefs. Quota means taking so much of something until there is nothing left this happens a lot with fishing and over fishing.

This week for inquiry I had to look at how we could improve the jr playground. We took photos of the trees, bushes and stones that had been thrown out of the swale. Then we put it into a slideshow and wrote everything wrong with it. We also learnt the meanings of words like future proof and kaitiakitanga.
MEANINGS. Kaitiakitanga: means guardianship and protection or looking after an environment. Sustainability: the ability to maintain for the future generations. Quota: the removal of a place’s natural resources until it is all gone. Replenish. Guardian: A person who protects a place or a thing. Future proof: Future proof has almost the same meaning as sustainability. Future proof means preparing for the future.
To solve a linear equation first you have to find the equation and know what it means for example 4 n – 12=36 find n. Step two you have to minus the 12 and then add it back so that = 48. Step three you have to divided n by the number before the letter so for me that equals 12. Step four find out what n equals for me n = 12.
Today we went to tech I had robotics. First we learnt how to write code using blocks on Mindstorm by Lego. To use Mindstorm you just write you could use these blocks and numbers and then plug in your little Lego code block into the computer using a USB cord.
Then we had to make a little robot that can drive around using code. We gave it a grabber that can pick up things and then release them when it gets to another place.
