At the end of the slide he talked to us about our own countries bridge the Auckland Harbour Bridge. He told us about the history of the bridge, when the bridge was built, what is the bridge made of, , Future plans of the bridge and the fun facts about the bridge. We also made a Comparison between the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

Decimals

Today for Mathematics we have doing Decimals. I created this DLO to explain to someone how to do decimals and what to when doing this type of strategy. What I did was to First look at the number that was the nearest to the whole number which was 8.1 then that turned into 8.0, than I added one to 6.5 which turned into 6.6. After that I added 6.6 and 8.0 together which equaled up to 14. 6. I really enjoyed doing this strategy because I learned to how to do Decimals.    

Key Into Evaluation- Places to Visit in New York City

Today for Reading I was creating a DLO about 5 place around the Empire State Building that I would like to visit in New York City.  I chose these five places because I found interest in them Star bucks, Model scouts,  Spot Dessert Bar, Juvenex Spa, Panera Bread and the Empire State Building. I would actually one day want to visit these places when I am older. What I enjoyed about this task was to explore google maps and see what these places looked liked.

I've been trying to keep my pace and keep getting better scores Next time I will remember to go back and re- read my story to match my answer. 

Key Into Evaluation - City Fitness

Today for reading I was creating a DLO about a gym in my local area. The gym I chose to was City Fitness, I chose this gym because I thought that looks like a very good gym and it's in my local area. I had to explain how much it costs to join, where it is and how old you need to be to join. I really enjoyed learning about this gym. 

Tech

Today we had Tech at Tamaki College. This was our second to last session at Pewter Casting with Mr Grundy. Last week I took home my design home to give to my mom and I think she liked it very much because it was the best design for her that is why I chose the chef's hat. The thing I had to do was to finish my work book. I still have a couple more question to finish and then to find out what Pewter is to give me extra marks. 

Sky Tower Trip

Today LS2, Rm 5 and LS1 had a trip to the Auckland Sky Tower. LS2 was split up into two groups to take tours around the Sky Tower. This was my first time ever being in the Sky Tower, so I was quite nervous and scared. Our group went into the elevator were there was a a whole in the elevator were there was a piece of glass inserted into the whole, we jumped, stomped and walked on the glass and it never broke and never even made a crack. The level we stopped at was level Forty- Five {45} which was the Main Observation Room, were we got see two people jump of. It was really cool and I was happy to see it. A huge thanks to my { father } Mr Dobson for helping take care of us and Really huge thanks to  Mr Dougles Bates for donating the money for our trip.
