Hidden Matariki!

Have you ever heard of "Hidden Talents" on Disney Channel? Well, the Year 5 & 6 Extension group had a challenge to put together a movie just like that, but you have to guess what MATARIKI is! This is me and my friends Hidden Matariki! We hope you enjoy this little game!

My Swimming Movie!

With my teeth chattering and the spray flying from the other kids,I felt really cold!The coldness made me cough and splutter.Even though I was very buoyant,I gasped for breath while I was doing freestyle.A shock of cold was the only thing that electrified my body,even though the water was deliciously warm.

  I pushed of the wall with a powerful kick and determination.As soon as I sunk down into the water,I grasped onto the flutter-board,so I then again became very buoyant.I kicked furiously with coordinated movements to the other end of the pool.

 When it was time to do the backstroke,I glided gracefully on the water. I then submerged down into the turquoise colored aqua because another kid pushed me.I bobbed around because I thought that I was drowning.It was time to get out of blue,runny pleasure.

 I was shivering and shaking.I still had a gulp of water in my mouth,but I was too cold to realise.I went into the changing rooms.I put on my two thick layered jumpers and headed back to school.

Archimedes

Some scientists and mathematicians in the Ancient world were not as good as Archimedes.Who is Archimedes?You are probably wondering who is he.He was a mathematician and an inventor in the Ancient Greek days.He was the last Greek mathematician.Not only was he known as the wise one,but he was also known as the master too.

Born in Syracuse,Sicily,2086 B.C,he probably got his interest of maths from his father,Phidias.His father was an astronomer,a scientific studier of heavenly bodies.Some days he was so interested in trying to solve mathematical problems,that he may have forgotten to eat!!I would not want to be him!

He invented the Claw,the ship shaking construction.It was invented in 2014 B.C.It was useful for warding off ships.The right arm was used to lift,sink and drop on an attacking ship with a large hook.It was controlled by a pulley system and also two poles.It’s also used to pick up toys in stuff toy machines.FUN!!!!
