Letter

Over the past few weeks. we have been learning to write both formal and informal letters. Here is an example of a letter I wrote about Electric cars:Gio Cagalitan

Dear Government and Jacinda Ardern, 
Electric cars cost less compared to Gas vehicles each year, but people still use Gas cars. As the cost of electric cars become the same as or less than existing vehicles the choice to “Go Electric” will be obvious. Electric Vehicles are already pretty affordable. The cost of operating an Electric Car will already save you money. Honestly I don't know why people still use Gas cars. 
Anyways in almost every way that counts, an electric car costs less to run and maintain than a Gas-powered car. There is basically no gas to buy, no oil changes, no smog tests, and a few moving parts to break or wear-out. In fact, many Electric Car owners such as Elon Musk go years without any repair or Service Bills at all.  
Since Electric Cars have basically Zero tailpipe gases, we can look forward to cleaner air where there are more electric cars on the road. Cleaner air means less disease in the world, which means less stress on public health systems, hospitals, and more. In addition fewer greenhouse gases will save the Ozone layer and reduce our carbon footprint. If we can't stop global warming, we will have dirty air and EVs (Electric Cars) are nothing if it's not a good start.

I think we should start using Electric cars since it is good for the environment and can stop air pollution

Ferrymead park

So I wake up in the morning and I went to the shower and brushed my teeth and wore my school clothes. Then I went to the table ate breakfast, then drove to school. I walked to the cloakroom and only saw nothing JUST NOTHING (Insert crickets chirping) so I grabbed my bag and went to the hub and everyone was there. "Hey go down to the office, you are marked not here" said Molly
"But I am here" I said. So I just sat down and then..
"Hey Gio have you gone down to the office?" said The teacher
"YES!" I said
And then I realised a 100000000 million people are looking at me right now
"What?" I said. Then everyone left and I followed them. I was in the bus with liam, and the type of bus is the bendy bus. I'd imagine the bus turning around and then the driver crashed onto the back of the bus. Sadly that didn't happen. So 100 hours later we arrived
"Hello welcome to Ferrymead" said the guy that kinda looked like Bill Nye the Science guy
So everyone learned about the rules
"Blah blah blah" said Bill Nye and then we went to this house and then we have to wear these ridiculous clothes, The pants were called Knickerbockers and I have to wear a hat that looked like I stole Sherlock Holmes hat and we have to wear this shirt that looked like my winter uniform. Everyone was wearing 2 layers of clothes. and basically why is there lases on the back of the pants? Pants aren't shoes though. anyways So I wore these ridiculous clothes and went to the church-looking building and I looked at the girls and they basically looked like Maids and us boys look like Factory workers.

PBL Time

                       PBL TIME 

  In this PBL 2019, my group (Liam, Tom, Cory, and me), We have to make something that can help us in everyday life (Not really as we are just making a prototype), our project is to make a grabber and we did, but the grabber was already built so we made it better, and plus we made an ad and a site, Cool right? we made the prototype in the website called Tinkercad, Our prototype had to get 3D printed, But we also made a logo, But yeah I was not really interested on doing PBL, so I thought I could just blog right now, Although the grabber is not made yet and i'm still dying from boredom, I'd rather read books all day long and still be called a Nerd all day, But now I'm stuck in PBL and making a grabber and all, But we already built a Website and a prototype, and now I'm stuck waiting until it is Wednesday, which is the day of the Invention Convention, But as we already built the grabber, we are now ready.

Question: If you were in this invention convention, what will you make?

Museum Blog

On September the 16th, Everyone got to go to the bus to the museum (not everyone I think) But before everybody got to the bus they were in groups. I was stuck in Dejon's group it took awhile to get to the museum, When everyone got there, I found one of those things when you throw them up in the air they spin and fly, I honestly don't know what they named or spelt but they are fun. Anyways when we got inside, I saw many things that are awesome, such as Fossils and everything. And everyone got crazy in their free time, Looking at one thing to another in 1 second, Then using the Technology. I looked at one of the fossils and they were rusty and old (obviously). There was this guy named Anthony who was telling us about the fossils and artifacts in the room, and today I cant even remember what he said. ''Blah blah blah'' Anthony said. And I knew what he said was cool, I think he even said the stuff in the room is from Poland not New Zealand, But it looks Maori to me. After that mess, he told us a story. Anyways onto the next room, Anthony told us about the clothes and weapons and stuff. But I noticed a big green stone and the sign said ''Please Touch!'' I thought that they accidentally forgot ''don't'' in the sign, So I guess whoever built this museum forgot about the sign near the green stone. I guess it should say ''Please don't touch!'' but someone said it gives good luck and I thought Why not? So when Anthony finished his talk with us, I quickly ran to the  binoculars, but all I saw was a black screen saying ''I had to pay'' I only had 2 dollars in my pocket. But I'd rather not waste my time, Anyways Anthony took us to this room with Drills and a Axe and stuff, My group started with the Axe, We were supposed to hit the sides of the wood but when a boy in our group almost hit his legs, I had second thoughts. But did it anyway and It was actually fun! I started to hit the wood 2 more times when it was another persons turn, but it was already time to swap places anyway, The next activity was drills. At first I had trouble when someone helped me, It was too fast that it stopped spinning and toppled sideways. After sometime I had the hang of it! but 2 seconds later it was time to swap AGAIN This time it was chisels. the edge of my chisel was a green stone or Jade. I started to make dents on the wood and almost took one of those black shapes out, But it was time to swap before I could finish. This time I had to make a Caveman drawing and I started writing on the paper, I started drawing one thing after another, I only drew 3 drawings and it was time to swap. This time I have to clean and make the rocks smooth, I mean I am not a geologist, Which is a person who studies rocks all day. But anyways I was just scraping the rocks, making them smooth, and everyone is scraping the rocks and spraying them like they are spraying water on cats. Then Anthony started to talk about how its lunch time or morning tea and all. So after that, I went towards the exit, when suddenly I was actually going out the entry, luckily someone said ''Hey! That's the entry! go the other way!'' I'm like okay, So I went towards the exit and ate with my friends and blah blah blah and stuff, So when It was playtime, I climbed the tree, many climbed so high, I mean How are you supposed to get down? Seriously none of the students are stuntmen, But I climbed up a trunk and here's a photo

After awhile It was time to go home and all, So we all gone to the bus and left, The trip was amazing and I learned about new stuff, such as how green stone (Jade) is stronger than steel, So I guess This is the end of this blog.
