In this story the world turned purple. The only thing that wasn't purple was the blue jay. The smartest scientist took test on the bird. He didn’t know what was going on. After a year the world turned yellow. The Jay was still blue. After that it turned orange, pink then blue. Everyone was happy that the world was only one colour. They let the blue jay and it flew happily. After three months the world turned back to normal. They forgot about what happened.

Making A Chain
Making a chain
Walt: 1.Write a recount
2.Integrate maths and writing
On Monday morning we made a paper chain. We did this because our focus was to make the longest chain in the class. My partner was Tane. We made the chain out of A5 paper
First we estimated how long our chain would be. My estimation was 140 centimeters. Tane’s estimation was 179 cm. We had a discussion about our estimation and we went with mine. We had a pattern that went green, green, red, red.
Next we cut the paper into strips. We had to make the strips even. We didn’t cut it straight. Our cutting was very crooked. Only the green paper strips were big and the red were small. After we cut it we connected the strips with the tape that was given to us.
Thereafter we measured the chain. It was more than one meter. We grabbed the other one meter ruler and measured it. Our chain was 192 cm long. If we pulled the chain it would of been more than two meters.
Finally we compared the measurement with our estimation. My estimation was close but not close enough. If we chose Tane’s estimation we would of been more closer than my one. Then we compared our chain with the student's chain. The longest chain made in our class was Viliami’s chain. His was 3 m and 83 cm.
I think that if we cut it more thinner it would of been more longer and if it had a lot of width it would be shorter.

The differences in the length. I think it's all different because of the cutting. Some of them cut it lengthwise and with width. Viliami’s chain was long because they took their time to cut it even and small. Ben and Dion was the shortest chain because they cut it with width. In the middle some were going to be long but the cutting was uneven which caused it to be in the middle. If we were to do this topic I would take our teachers advice. The thinner the chain the longer the chain.

Watch Did Not Watch
B G B G
10 5 3 7
First we collected the data by the show of hands. After that we used the online tools to draw it. It showed that more boys watched the rugby world cup more than girls. I think that boys watch the rugby world cup because it's their favourite sport. I also think that the others didn’t watch because they don't have sky. We were predicting the score on Friday. The closest score was Robin. His prediction was 32 - 17.
