Week 7 Update

Hey Everybody,

This week so far I have started my Science Fair Testing. I did a few tests at school and alot back at home. My whole Science Fair is coming along great and it will be ready by Friday Next Week.

In other next week is Cross Country. Its coming up on Monday, Week 8. My aim is to get into the top 10. Its going to be a tough goal to achieve but I think I might be able to make it if I really push myself. Lately we have been doing fitness which includes Zumba & Running. I have increased highly in long distance as last year I wasn't very good.

Week 5 Update

Hey Guys,

This week I started my Science Fair Testing. My Science Fair project is to find out if Sight or Smell affects taste. I started on my Brothers and my Nana. I don't really have enough information yet but I am going to do some taste testing at school.

 Also this week we learned about Helium and Hydrogen Atoms. These include Protonss, Neutrons and Electrons. Your probably wondering what that is? These are all sources of particles. An electron is a negative. A proton is a positive source. A neutron is a source that can run without any electric change.

Its been a pretty good week so far. This year is gonna be an awesome year with Room 30.

Bye Everyone (:

Homework Challenge #1

For the Rimu Homework Challenge I made my own challenge in the category of "Giving".

I went to my nanas at the beginning of April this year and helped her pack up her 3-bedroom house as my dad was moving her in to a 2-bedroom villa at Cedar Manor retirement home in 6th Ave.

When we were packing her house up she knew she had to down size. What we did for her was we got some boxes and packed things like spare cutlery, spare kitchen appliances and storage, some towels and sheets and spare clothes from my grandad, who passed away just last year. We delivered these items to the Salvation Army, Waipuna Hospice shop and St.Vincent De Paul as they give to the people that are in need.

What the Salvation Army, Waipuna Hospice and St. Vincent De Paul do, is they have a proud history of helping people.  They gather items such as furniture and miscellaneous items and sell them cheap to people locally to raise funds for their charity work. My Nana helped out alot as she donated many items to the charities. I also helped mum and dad go through some of our cupboards to find stuff we could donate. We ended up donating some furniture and some of my baby clothes and old toys.
