The Science Roadshow

On the 26th of March the year 7&8 classes went to the Science Roadshow, MNC, DHT and MNL went together and SWL and EER. We went over after interval, there were older OC students helping out. Two men started off the show by talking about atoms and then younger schools came. the second show was by the same guys and they were experimenting this time they made elephant toothpaste, disapearing coloured water and an explosion out of powder and and some gases. then they let us roam around the exhibit !!

One of the things we looked at was the shadow capture, me and nova went in and she took a photo and we could see our shadow on the wall. The other one was the bed of nails!!! you lie on a bed of nails where the nails are the sharp side up and the girl said it wouldn't hurt, it really hurt!!! 

The end show was very good Kendall and Shane talked to us about motion. she did some very cool tricks like the one where you can pull the table sheet off with out moving the table wear. also the one wear you the cup doesn't fall or spill while spinning the plate round and round.

overall the show was very good and I would them to come back again. It was very entertaining and I think alot of people enjoyed it.

Captial E Festivial of The Arts

On 14/3/19 the year 7 & 8’s from Otaki College went to Captial E Festival of the Arts  in Wellington. We had to be at school by 7:30 am which was very hard for me, We left school at 7:45, our bus was SWL and half of EER. We were the first bbus to leave I sat next to Jorja and behind us was Neriah and Montana, we took photos and tiktoks on my phone. Then we facetimed the others on the other buses. After we made a song up (best song ever).

Once we arrived we had to wait for the rest of EER, once they arrived we went into Wesley Hall for the story Studio Live/Sound Effects Performance which was really funny. The people presenting names were Bree green, Smitty and Junior, they made a beatboxing tape that Jayaiah took into a song in 10 minutes, It was very impressive. They were telling storys while acting and making sounds to them. They told us two stories one of them was called, The vampire.

We walked to the Opera house next which is where we saw the other half of the year 7&8’s. We went in and sat down and watched Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus which was very scary because they were doing very risky tricks. They did a bit of jazz, ballet and pointe ballet. I couldn’t really see because Mr E was sitting was sitting in front of me. There was a lady, a man and a guy playing the Chordian.

After that we went to Gabez while walking there we passed my mums work and we could see her from the window. We met a lovely girl that was helping kids cross the road (we owe her a butter chicken wrap). Once we arrived at Gabez, we sat down and watched the Dancing Japanese Duo (Masa, Hotishi) some of the boys fell asleep during the performance. It was ineteresting because they were acting without speaking, the acts were Washing The Window, Kung Fu, Mr Wolfand just dancing. At the end og the performance they started playing Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars and we started singing along to it.


After that we got on the bus and headed back to school, we arrived at 3:30 pm and went home.

Athletics Day

Athletics was good day, we started in the morning with our chants, I thought ours was pretty good but we came 3rd. Then we had the 1500 run/walk and I think I did pretty good. We had a rotation and we were in groups my group was all the year 7 and 8 girls.

Our first rotation was rugby throws, the attempt was to throw the rugby ball through the hula hoop from different spots. I got one and then it just failed. After people started having turns Selena brought her and a speaker and we were listening to some pretty good songs.

After that we went to shot put, that's where the speaker died and we were so bored, so we actually tried shot put I think I did pretty bad. Then went to high jump, I only did participation because high jump and I don’t like each other so Yeah. Then me, Mali, Nova and Daisy had running races while waiting for the high jump girls to finish.

Our next activity was Long jump and I HATE LONG JUMP, so I actually did it wrong and failed so that was good and We got bored so we started to put face paint on ourselves which was a bad idea because it took me two days to get it off. Then we did sprints which I also kinda failed because I got so TIRED in the end I just gave up so yeah.

Then we did Discuss but we didn’t do it because I think I was physically broken after the run. So I had a sausage which was very yummy. Ten we did Relays and I also failed at that because I was so late that I was literally running in the middle of nowhere!

Then we finished up and I had to drop Daisy, Maggie and Macy off at their houses.

The End
