In metal this term my class and I made a balancing toy and the first step was to cut the metal to the right size and then drill the holes for the poles to go into and then we had to file the poles clean until they had fit into the holes in the base.Then we had to weld them onto the base and clean the black off the bottom from the welding and after we had to design our balancing toy first I had a arrow but i cut the corner off with the machine so then I had to start another balancing toy and I had to not cut the metal because it was already in the right shape so I had to file it and clean it until it was clean and shiny.
Did I finish my balancing toy
Yes I did finish my balancing toy on time because I did not muck around and I got on with my work and I got to take it home with me after I spray painted it red and black
What did I learn
I learned how to weld and use the electric drill in metal this term it was my first time welding.
What was a challenge
The challenge I had was to get the metal clean and the noise because some people were loud and it was distracting .
Did I weld
Yes I did weld I had to weld the pieces of metal together so they would not come apart and if they were not welded they would just come apart and the balancing toy would not work properly and I have not welded before.
What did I think of welding
I thought welding was fun because we got to hold the welding torch and we got to see our metal get hot and and we had this special rod which melted and it went around the metal and turned hard then we had to put it in a bucket full of water and the metal made a sizzling sound when the cold water hit the metal then we had to put our hand in the water and pull the metal out and clean it.
What have I got better at
Moving away from Luke and Levi when they start to get annoying and using the welding torch.

Music
What have I learned over this term ?
During term 3 in Music, we have been learning on how to make an advertisement about Hornby. I was assigned in The Hub group together with Luke, Mijji, and Memory. I have learnt how to write a business letter to a company called the Hub Hornby asking for permission if we could film in that space for a competition.The letter has to be formal and saying why you want permission to film and and who is the right person to contact for permission
What challenges did we have and how did we overcome them
The challenges we had were filming the sign of The Hub because cars and people were walking in front of where we were filming so we decided not to do this part.Next , we also filmed on the escalator . Other people were using the escalator so we had to wait before we could film.
Here is the video at the end
What would we do differently and why

The Worlds Worst Children
The terrible triplets
ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a set of terrible triplets.Their names were Tom,Dick and Harry.Sometimes when you have sets of triplets you have a mixture of nice ones and naughty ones.All three of these triplets were naughty.Tom,Dick and Harry had been born just moments apart,fighting their way out of the womb,trying to elbow each other aside to see who could be first.You see, all three of them wanted to be top dog.As a result,the best at something.These being three of the world's worst children,they wanted to be the best at bad things only.Very bad things.When they were babies,Tom,Dick and Harry would battle over who could bawl the loudest...AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Break their toys the fastest...Bash! chew through the bars in their cot first...MUNCH! Create the most mess on the walls with their crayons...HA! HA! soak their poor mother with the most water spat from the bath SPLOSH! Flick their baby food the furthest...SPLAT! Wipe the most dirt from their hands on to the curtain WIPE ! Guzzle down the most milk...GUZZLE! Do the smelliest burps...BURP ! leave the biggest deposit in their nappy...When they were toddlers,the triplets would tussle over who could: Go fastest in the trolley down the supermarket aisles,and knock over the largest number of old ladies WHIZ Z ! Burst other children's balloons at the funfair with a drawing pin and make them cry... POP ! overfeed their goldfishes so they were bigger than their bowl's...BLEURGH!'' Do the smelliest blow offs while sitting on father Christmas's knee...poooooooooooh ! Build the rudest snowman.This was all about where you placed the carrot...TEE-HEE ! Spoil story time by eating as many of the books as they could CRUNCH ! lam the piano lid down the hardest on their nursery teacher's fingers when it was singsong time...TWONG ! ouch ! Ruin another child's birthday party the quickest ... This might be by cheating at all the party games opening all their presents or stuffing the whole birthday cake in their mouths,candles and all Nooooooooooooooo ! play the worst tricks on their father.Tom put his father's underpants in the deep freeze so when he put them on his bottom turned blue AH ! Dick swapped his father's hair gel with glue so his comb became stuck to his head GLOOP ! Harry switched his parents bed for a trampoline so when his father jumped on it he bounced right up to the ceiling and ended up clinging to the light shade HELP ! When Tom,Dick and Harry started at school,the scraps became fiercer still.They would fight over who could SNEEZE the loudest during tests when everyone had to be silent AAATISSSHHOOOO ! ATISHOO! AATISHHHOOO ! Hurl jellies the longest distance in the school canteen SPLAT ! Spray their pee furthest from the toilet bowl Harry manged ten meters... HOORAY ! Boot the ball the hardest at the PE teacher as he refereed a football match OOF ! Write the crudest thing on the school bus window... Get in the biggest trouble on the school trip to the local pantomime by catapulting toffees at the window twankey... OUCH ! Ruin the Christmas carol concert by making monkey noises instead of singing... OOH OOH Cover the art teacher in the most clay when making a pot on the potter's wheel...SPLAT ! make the biggest explosion in science class... Tie the most children's laces together on the start line of a running race so they tripped over KABOOM ! whenever this trio did something cruel to others they would laugh.Not a nice happy laugh but a mean mocking laugh as you can imagine because they were always competing for who could be the worst of the worst these terrible triplets had upset absolutely everyone with whom they'd ever come in contact .And many more besides.As they grew up Tom,Dick and Harry spent their time desperately trying to outdo each other with their grossness.Tom took to eating his own earwax.He would spend all day and night with his little fingers in his ears,digging the smelly yellow putty out.Tom slept on the top bunk in the bedroom SHUT UP AND LOOK AT ME ! he would shout down.Then to Dick and Harry's horror and delight he would eat the earwax even though it tasted like licking a rusty climbing frame. Dick was not to be outdone.He took to sticking his fingers up his nose and rooting out the biggest stickiest bogeys he could find stuck up there.The boy would stick the bogeys to each other until he had what looked like a huge green icicle Then he would shout from the middle bunk SHUT UP AND LOOK AT ME ! When he had his brothers attention he would then proceed to suck on the icicle which tasted like a rotten cabbage lolly.Down on the bottom bunk,Harry was feeling a little left out.How could he outdo the other two? Harry had a belly button that was always full of fluff.Sweaty,manky,disgusting balls of who knew what. As soon as he'd plucked the revolting globule out of his belly button he shouted... SHUT UP AND LOOK AT ME ! The fluff tasted like something you might find at the bottom of a deep and dirty bog.In a word yuck some.
