YouthTown

On Wednesday YouthTown brought some equipment for EOTC week. In my group I had one of my best friends which was Lachlan. My group was in group  "A" with a lot more people.

My groups first activity was Ti Pi building, we failed because first our group couldn't get the tarpaulin over the Ti Pi. Our groups Ti Pi fell down which was annoying. But we kept on trying but it didn't work but in the end at least we tried. Then after one hour it was morning tea.

At the Ti Pi building we moved onto the Flintstones car. When we got to the Flintstones car building one of the Youthtown people said the instructions. Then we learnt 2 new knots which is the kabinders hitch and the glove hitch. Then we started to build the Flintstones car. The thing that we had was 2 barrels, 8 bamboo poles, and 9 ropes. Then our group got started. Firstly my group got the barrels and did a kabinders hitch over the 2 pieces of bamboo and then it was stuck together and did the back. Then we added seats. Then the boys and girls pushed the Flintstones car till everyone got a turn and walked down to archery with Miss Cooper.

Once my group got to archery the instructions person said "sit down please" so my group sat down and he explained the rules and put the group into two teams so it was quick. The first time was a practice. The equipment was real bows and real arrows. It was very hard because I haven't done it before. On the first real game I got a red,blue and a black which was surprising because the first practice I missed every single arrow. After one hour we moved to problem solving.

My mum was running this with Jenneane. The first game was minefield and everyone died on their first turn but Lachlan on his second go made it. The next game was gutter ball which is people get one gutter each and you try to get a golf ball into a plastic cup. My group was the only group that got the ball in the plastic cup. Our next activity was crocodile river which is a game with planks and you have to try to get to the of the river with out falling off. After problem solving my group walked to the walkie talkies.

Once my group got there we had a little play, then we played knots and crosses on the walkie talkies. Me and Lachlan were a group, Ruby and her friend were a group and then we many more. When we started the walkie talkie didn't work because it was the one that didn't connect, so it was very very boring. For awhile the people thought we didn't talk. So then the hour went so quick that it was the end of the day.

Weekly Challenge

I am an athlete who is a boy and wants to race cars on dirt tracks when I'm eighteen years old for my future. I am great at my homework and ICT skills. I wish I was as fast as a Jaguar. At the moment I race go-karts. I think lemon is the most sour fruit in the world. I live in New Zealand which is the best country. Orange is my favorite fruit, I like the pips in the orange too. I don't really like being quiet. My name is Roman and I like planting seeds to help the earth. For go-karting I race on a track specially used for go-karts. My dad drives his van around for go-karting. My dad driver trains people in wet and sunny weather. When I was 5 I had to have X-rays and my arm turned yellow and my muscle went weak. I wish my cast had a zip because it stank.

Editing

My writing goal is going to be editing because I don't edit and check my work.

 I will do this by using a dictionary or asking a buddy to check my work. I will check for spelling mistakes and punctuation as well. I will see if my work makes sense.
