Day 1

Activity 1:
The country I chose was Germany. The reason why I chose Germany was because Germany was once East Prussia and West Prussia before it became Germany.

Activity 2:
The name for Germany in German is Deutschland
There are around 300 varieties of bread
In World War II, a German sub was sunk by a broken toilet.

Dear Nana,
I wanted to let you know that I am really excited because I am going to go to Germany. I will be flying in to Frankfurt on Wednesday the 21st of December and I will be in Germany for one month.
You know how I have been enjoying watching Victoria? The reason why I have chosen Germany is because I can go to Coburg and see some of the places Prince Albert grew up in. Perhaps you can meet me for the last week there.
Love Robin

Trip to OMG Tech

Trip to OMG Tech

On Saturday 28 November, 19 students dform Glenbrae School went to a Spark building to do activities about Science. We take a bus to get to the OMG Tech building

When we got there we were spilt into groups. There were 25 groups to be split into. I was split into Group 2 Subgroup B. We then went off to our activities. Our first activity was 3d Printing.

Our next activity was pulling apart. I pulled apart a phone first of all. When I had finished pulling apart the phone I helped Loto pull apart a hard drive. Our next activity was coding. We had to code a program to make a maze and get an person through it.

The next activity that we did was Science. We learnt at Science how to stick a skewer in and out of a balloon without the balloon popping. We also made catapults out of marshmallow and skewers.

The last activity that we did was robotics. We had to program a robot to move around the track, stop on the X and get to the safety zone.

At the end of the day, I was tired and happy that I had gone with our school to OMG Tech.

Birthday

On Friday 30th October, it was my birthday. I had a party for 5 friends but one went home before the sleep-over. We had dinner, then played some games outside. We watched some movies. The movies we watched were Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days and Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. After the movies we went to bed.

In the morning, we woke up, talked for a bit, then had breakfast. I had cornflakes and rice bubbles for breakfast. As I was hungry I had another helping of breakfast. We played some more, then it was time for my friends to go home.

I liked my sleep-over birthday because I got to see my friends and spend time with them on my birthday.
