Hi again,

On Saturday I played soccer against a team from Cambridge. The game was going to be an away game for us but the field at Cambridge would have been very hard to play on because of the rain recently. It was raining before the game but the weather improved as we were kicking off. The half time score was 2 – 1 to Cambridge and I had scored the only goal for my team. It was a great game and my team played very well but unfortunately we lost 4 – 1. I was pleased with how I played and I was pleased I scored a goal. I’m looking forward to my team’s next game. I hope we win.

This weekend I’ve been working on my science fair project that is due tomorrow. It will be judged on Tuesday and Wednesday but we will be pair assessing them in class on Monday. I had already done my experiment and taken photos and today I finished displaying my work on my science fair board. It looks great.

Bye for now, Gregory

Hi again,

 Science Fair.

My school is having Science Fair soon and this will the first time I have been involved in one. My question is ‘What is the effect on the fizziness of Coke when different substances are added?’ I will be using salt, baking soda, sugar and sand. I will pour these into bottles of Coke and find out the amount of Coke that comes out of the bottles. If you want to find out more about this year’s science fair at my school go to http://ultranet.teawamutuint.school.nz/. Here you can also find out some other exciting things happening at my school this year.

Squash.

On the weekend I played in a Squash Tournament at Te Awamutu. I was in division one and I was the eighth seed. In my first game I played an E2 who was about twice my size. I lost in three but I had fun because we had lots of long rallies. In my second game I played an F grader. I’m a J1 so it was going to be a hard game because he is a higher grade than me. Last time I played this boy it was a very close game and I lost in five. This time I lost in three but the first game was really close. I didn’t play another game because the second seed pulled out because he injured his leg so my last game was a bye. I won ten dollars in this tournament .

Bye for now, Gregory.
