The Miniature Castle Part 2

  The Miniature Castle

Wealth. Fame. Power. When Bill Gates had everything the world had to offer, he didn’t have a worry in the world. Until… he was kidnapped by his greedy family members and taken deep into the forest. “Tell us where you hid your treasure is!” Shouted his father. “I’ll never tell you!” Bill Gates shouted back. As hours past Bill’s family got angrier and angrier. Until, they couldn’t take it anymore. Bill’s father walked up to the tied up Bill. Then proceed to hit Bill over and over again.


As it went on Bill managed to loosen the ropes that tied his hands to the chair he was tied to. Then suddenly… He ! Then ran and ran and didn’t stop running until his body started to give up on him. He fell to the ground, his life slowly fading away. 


Days later, the police found his body deep within the forest. As they searched around, one of the police officers found a letter inside of his left pocket. It read “You want my treasure? Well you are going to have to find it deep within the forest. Where you will find a bizarrely small castle. There, and only there will you find my treasure”. It was all over the news. Although Bill had given many clues to where he left his treasure. No one managed to find it. 


But I thought otherwise. I believed that i could find it if I listened closely to the clues, and put it all together to find out where his treasure was. Finally...after days of research I had finally found out where he hid his treasure. Although it was pretty easy since he said “Where you will find a bizarrely small castle. There, and only there will you find my treasure”. So it was pretty easy. 


Now it’s time to get ready for the adventure beyond! To be continued...

Part 2:

With everything ready. I am ready and set to find the treasures of Bill Gates! But where is this miniature castle? A mini golf course? No no, of course not. Maybe a...hmm..In a forest? Hah, funny joke, of course not. But maybe...It could be deep in the forest? Yeah, yeah maybe it is! Alright lets check there. As I approach the forest getting closer by the minute, I wonder. "If I ever find the money, what will I spend it on? Definitely a glue stick. But what will I do with the rest? I'll just burn the rest and make a campfire. Yeah! Great idea".


Anyways, lets find this treasure! Wait...I think I left the oven on? No, no I didn't. Hopefully nothing burns. Now its time to find this treasure! I walk through the forest, but I've found NOTHING!!! Wait...I see something in the distance. What is that? Woah that's a!...

To be continued...IN PART 3!!

Surf to Turf

 Surf to Turf

Last Tuesday we did Surf to Turf. What is Surf to Turf? Surf to Turf is an event were we run from Kaiapoi, all the way back to Belfast. Once we're back at Belfast, we do some mini events like commando crawl, 50 sit-ups, and 1 minute plank. After all of that we pull a firetruck. Before we did the event on Tuesday, we would do practices every Tuesday and Thursday. We would do mostly running (Because the event was running) and we did some burpees, push-ups etc. When we started the run, I stayed with two of my friends (Josh and Joshua). I managed to keep up with Josh for some of the run, until we lost sight of Joshua. Then I started to get tired so I fell behind of Josh, and stayed with Joshua instead. We both ran together for most of the run until we decided to run with Bill, and Lucas. We all ran together for some of the run until Bill and Joshua got ahead of me and I stayed with Lucas. Then Joshua got left behind by Bill so I ran with him leaving Lucas behind. We ran for a while until we got back to Belfast, then we did all of the activities. First was 1 minute plank, then commando crawl, then 50 sit-ups etc. 

After finishing we got juicies, and a water bottle. After everyone finished, everyone went down the driveway where the firetruck was. There were two ropes, one for the year 8 boys and year 7 girls, and one for the year 8 girls and year 7 boys. When the firetruck alarm started, we started pulling. It didn't feel that hard since there were a lot of us pulling the truck. After awhile of pulling we had to go over a speed bump and I think the truck got stuck. But we managed to pull it hard enough that it got out. After pulling the firetruck all the way up the driveway we took a photo in front of the firetruck. After that we headed back to the finishing line area, and we got hot dogs and some drinks. A few days later we got our rewards for competing in Surf to Turf. We got a Lone Star key chain, a $4.50 McDonalds gift card, and a free one slice of pizza gift card. After finishing Surf to Turf, we headed back to class and had to wait until the bell rang for us to go home.

Steps To Solving A Math Problem

https://www.powtoon.com/s/cSyOIg6YEAZ/1/m

Kia ora! In math we have been tasked with making a google slide, powtoon etc. In the presentation we have to explain the four steps to simplify a math problem: See, plan, do, and check. We also had to explain some of the strategies that are included in the four steps. For example: Guess and check, work backwards, make a drawing or diagram, and make an organised list. Enjoy. :D (You might need to pause the powtoon sometimes to read some of the texts).
