Bermuda triangle

snail race (maths)game

  Today my group played snail race
it was fun
there were sometimes when someone didn't move and someone did
but yeah like I said it was fun.
so the main number up to 12 to win most of the games was 7 and 8 and 6 and 9 but mostly 7
because every time my group played 7 won them all.
The game has dice that goes up to 6 and the number 1 couldn't be used because we had two dice and you only can get  1 with one dice
and 7 is more likely to win because it's not a known number and 1 is not likely to win because there are 2 dice so you cant get 1. number 7 snail is the best because it wins them all and number 1 is the worst because you cant get anything with it.So that how our game went so now ill tell you how to play it.

1 set up the board and 12 snails.
2 make sure someone is in charge of moving each snail.

3 take turns rolling two dice and add the numbers together.
4 move the number snail one place along the board.
5keep playing until 3 snails have crossed the finish line .6 record the 1st (pts 2nd  (3pts) and 3rd (1pt)
7 play the game at least 5 or more times.

7 wins most of the games because there is no double ups  and there are 6 chances to get a 7 and 5 chances to get a 6 and an 8
6 and 8 cant beats 7 because they have double ups so that means 7 wins by one

number one pet

The Number 1 Pet

me and my friends had talked about a piranha being your pet and this is what we done

Intro: Why you should get a piranha

Reason 1: The piranhas would make a good pet because they can get rid of your old meat scraps and all the dead mice that you catch in the house because if you give it to a piranha it ends stinking out the house or the rubbish bin.

Why piranha is a good pet			Extra detail
Reason 1 The piranhas would make a good pet because they can get rid of your old meat scraps and all the dead mice that you catch in the house, because if you give it to a piranha it end stinking out the house or the rubbish bin.	Reason.2 they are not loud	Reason 3;  if you have a bad kid you can say i'll put you in with the piranhas to make them listen and eat their veggies	Piranhas can live up to 25 years When piranhas a large animal the eat the flesh and muscle in seconds and they only leave the skeleton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAkN_8rwcE

Introduction:

Have you ever wanted a pet but your parents wouldn't let you get them well now you can…? Get a piranha, yes I know they are one of the most dangerous fish in the world but no piranhas hardly attack people and it's not like you're gonna be putting it or anything. Now you don't have to throw out your scraps to just rot in your bin you can feed everything to the piranha bones meat veggies even dead rats or mice that have died, also you don’t have to buy rubbish bags for your old rotting meat.

Reason 1: Piranhas would be a good pet because they are like a garbage eating machine inside your house.

Don't you just hate it when your cat brings in a rat or a bird? Well no more! If you get a piranha you can dispose of all of the disgusting things that get dragged in your house you can say later and just chuck them in the tank! Piranhas eat everything cow, human, rat, dog, cat, pretty much everything `300 or 500 piranhas to eat it a cow  especially red belly piranha

Reason 2 if you have a piranha you will be the coolest kid in the whole school, .all of your friends will want to come see it. Imagine being the most popular kid in the school all thanks to your piranha fred. If you have a friend and you want them to come around tell them you have a pet piranha and you will get an easy yes!!!!! Time to step up your game and get a piranha !!!!!!!.nowwwwwwwwww

Reason 3:  When you give piranhas food you won't end up having to empty your rubbish bags because piranhas don’t use rubbish. So it saves money for having to buy rubbish bags for all your old rotting meat. Also, you don’t have to feed the piranhas as much as you have to feed dogs, cats, and birds. Plus it won’t cost as much money to feed the piranhas as it does to feed other pets.  

kids bullying you about your pet worm or pet cockroach well no more get a piranha and you can be the coolest kid in the school, not only you will save money for not buying, or cats and dogs bringing birds or rats inside. All you have to do right now is drop your homework come to the shop and buy a piranha!!! Terms and conditions apply

lucknow road

Lucknow road by Caleb Watene

 As I was walking up Lucknow road hill with luukas, Dayton and,cody and with my skateboard in my head I fought about it because it was my first time going down this steep hill. So as I got to the top of Lucknow road luukas Dayton and Cody had gone down the hill on the scooter.So as I took a big breath and then took 3 steps back and (then ran as fast as I can with my skateboard in my hand) and then jumped onto my skateboard and as I had got a quarter of the way down I Had started to get speed wobbles. And after a while, I couldn't control the skateboard and in 1 second I flipped off the skateboard onto the hard concrete.!! And then rolled down the hill for days but finally stopped. My body was shaking and I was scared but not crying but then I looked at both of my elbows and they were deadly grazed and so was my knee but when I looked at my shoulder. I saw a long bloody line going across my shoulder luukas Dayton and Cody were laughing at me but then they saw that I was badly hurt. As we made it to the bottom of the hill I was still shaking and regretting going down the hill. 1)always wear a helmet 2)never try this unless you're good at it 3)check you skateboard before you go down a steep hill 4)make sure your skateboard trucks are tight because mine were not because my skateboard is a cruiser.
