On Wednesday there was a helicopter that came to our school on our field.

We all got to go into the Helicopter and see what it had inside.

The Helicopter had over 80 gages 110 buttons and 4 seats and lots and lots of cargo.

The heavier the cargo the heavier blades for more bite with the same motor.

The Helicopter is 8 in a half tonnes not including the cargo or anything else.

They came up and seed that the Helicopter can go up to 180 knots and is made aluminum. It is going to Wanaka.
It is going to land at base at about 3.30pm with over 10 years of expertise.
It was awesome that we could see the pilots.

Max really enjoyed sitting in the helicopter and on the landing gear. He found it exciting having it land at school.

I feel I have achieved in writing songs and singing songs because I have been singing and writing lots of songs. I started singing when I was 3, my mum's surprised I'm not famous! I have always dreamed of being a secret popstar. I have a wig so that will be my secret hair.

This week I have acheived a much better running time. I had improved by 1 and a half minutes. And I was very very happy when I acheived this! We do running practise every day but this is the last week for doing this. I think this is a good result for me!

I feel that I have got better at using the computer by working on my powerpoint presentation by adding custom animation and creating my own. I have been shown by my friend J.K how to get up the custom animation list and how to create my own animations.

We are all enjoying the school pool as the last of summer fades.
We are all more confident in, on and under the water.
Ari over there has been working on his kicking trying to kick more evenly and making good progress.

We are continuing with our habits of mind. This time we are thinking about thinking ie. Metacognition.
