Manukau takes over the school!🥳

Kia ora,

When the year 5 and 6 went on camp so manukau took over the school because we were the only seniors.

We were also excited because Mr Riceman told us that we were doing a ping pong ball challenge.

And when I mean ping pong ball challenge I mean we had to make A ping pong ball race track and all the things we used was foam and Popsicle sticks , Paper and of course sella tape.

And something else we got to do was do math games and they were so fun and I don’t know which one is better. But honestly I think they all are and if you were here I’m pretty sure you will agree with me.

Something that I wish was to do this again because it was the funnest week of my life but I did miss my friends.

We also got to build our own Eco houses which means like a house that looks after the environment and I forgot to tell you guys that we did it on minecraft.  Why I’m exited is because I really love doing minecraft.

But the better part was when the year 5 and 6 came back and I really missed my teacher Ms Kneller because she went with them too.

I also got to do hauraki’s jobs and they were so amazing but the best one was the sports room because I could play inside of it and my best friend Zendaya got to do it with me and my other friends.

Until the year 5 and 6 come back and ruin the day but after all they have to come back anyway!

The amazing ten second ping pong ball Timer

Faka lofa lahi atu everyone,

On Thursday the  2nd of November everyone in  Manukau made a ten second ping pong ball race track to see who’s team is the closest to 10 seconds.

Well how this all started was on Wednesday the 1st of November our teacher  Mr Riceman  had an idea for us to build a 10 second ping pong ball race track to see who’s team was the closest to 10 second.

And I can’t forget it was Me, Zendaya and Rasina team that was the closest to ten second. Our average number was 9.43 but we didn’t get anything for our win.

We only got hie fives from everyone and cheering.

Well the materials that we used were black foam, Paper, Kebab sticks, straws, blocks, pop-sickle sticks, tape and I think that was all we used.

Well and how I felt about it was amazing because when we were making it we all got to do different activities and they were so fun to do also when we My team won and then I actually never new that our group was going to win but yeah we did. And it also felt like the best day of my life.
