Today I did matific and I did the activity flying colours, also the matific games began today but we played the warm up games last week. I won 1000 points aswell as finishing all the games for today. I think that this game was really easy because I knew what to do. For example if it wanted me to do 4200 I would put 4 of the 1000L, 2 of the 100L and for the rest I would put nothing.
Overall I loved playing this game.
I am a Year 8 student at Glen Innes School in Auckland, New Zealand. I am in Room 6 and my teacher is Miss Donaldson.

Reflection on sewing at tech.
At tech we were put into sewing. We made a tote bag.
Materials needed are.
Coloured fabric (Optional)
pencil
measuring tape
scissors
sewing kit or sewing machine
To make this we...
looked up a tote bag design, then we grabbed a piece of paper and measured the handle and the main part. After that we picked our fabric and put our measurements on it. When we did that we cut the fabric and then started sewing the parts so that we could get a tote bag. This is my tote bag that I made.

My simple machine.
This is my simple machine. I have made a Trailer out of loom bands,tape and cardboard. My classroom and I have all made one. But we could only make these out of pulleys or wheel and axle. We are making these because we are doing an exhibition in week 6.

Fire drill.
“Fire drills” we've all heard of those. They help us prepare for when a real fire happens. Also everyone does fire drills because it’s very good to have. They hold fire drills anywhere and anyplace.
Here are some reasons why we need a fire drill. We need one because It’s better for you and your family. Also if a fire appears you won't have to worry at all because you will know what to do. Also many families in New Zealand have died because of fires happening in their house. Another reason why is because if you want you and your family to be safe then making a fire drill would come in handy.
Here are some tips on making a good fire drill. You could start by planning with your family so that they know. Then you could ask some of your neighbours if they have a fire drill and ask if you can see it. Another way is getting help from the fire fighters and see what they have to say.
some places on where you could practise your fire drill. One popular place would have to be at the one and only fire station. Another place would be at your home because since you live there you can practise and practise.
So as you can see we all need fire drills because it very very important. Make sure that you and your family plan a fire drill today.
writing is my weakness so I'm sorry if I can't explain properly.
