Main Star ~ Create a Christmas Decoration

For this Main Star I had to create a Christmas Decoration and hang it around my house for Christmas. I made a stocking out of a sock!? Now I will teach you how to make a stocking!!

1. First you will need a sock and a few vivid's or highlighters (any colour you prefer).
2. Then you will need to take your markers and start putting quotes onto the sock with them.
3. And that's it, you have now officially made your very own D.I.Y stocking.

Here is me making and planing the stocking!

Tin Foil Boats

Today we have been doing tin foil boats. We had only one piece of tin foil and we had to make a boat out of it, then we had to see how many marbles we could put in the boat until it sunk, we had two rounds and the first boat that I made got 8 marbles and the second boat got 7 marbles in it until it sunk .

Main star ~ Prep

For prep this year I got the police job! The police job is where you go around and help out / look around the class rooms, and at mini and big market we have to go around and help people if they ask for it.

We all get 80 kiwis (currency) in total, I myself have already spent 60 out of that 80 on a pair of cool socks and bracelets. 

Prep is fun because it feels just like being an actual company and selling your things!

I didn't really get anything out of this because it doesn't give you a clear understanding of what you had to do, so this is what it looks like (for some reason it said you had to have a ninja on it as well, that's why there is a ninja's face on it).

Main Star ~ Book 👏 Review 👏

Title:  Timeless, Diego and the rangers of the Vastlantic

Author: Armand Baltazar

Publisher: Harper Colins 2017

This story is about Diego's journey and adventures while trying to save his Dad from the villain named Magnus.  

The story is set in an alternate dimension of our world, where technology has been replaced by a steampunk theme. At the beginning of the story, Diego's father who is an inventor with special powers has been kidnapped which leads his son Diago on a grand adventure to save him.

I enjoyed this book because of the artwork throughout it.  The story is action packed, science fiction adventure.  I would recommend this book to intermediate readers who enjoy action packed / fantasy books!

This is some artwork from the book itself!

Main Star ~ Plan a Dish of Food

For this Main Star, I had to design a dish that is under 20 dollars. I did Fish and rice, the total of that came to $7.90, which is quite cheap for a tasty dish of food.

Main Star ~ Comment on 8 People's blog's

For this I had to comment on 8 people's blog's and here are the comments!

Main Star ~ DLO

In maths we learnt about three by three multiplication. Thsis is quite simple when you get the hang of it. For this example I am using 154 and 279. the first step is to take the bottom number and then times it by the top number then you need to do that for all the top numbers. The next step is to go to the middle bottom number and then do what you did just before. Next step is to do the same to the bottom left number. Now add it up and that is the answer. I got 42966 and I was correct!

Main Star ~ Read 4x a week

This term for Main Stars I had to read 4x a week! I have been reading The Hippo at the End of the Hall. I loved reading this book because it was interesting to find out what would happen next. I would rate this book a 4.5 / 5 because there was no dust cover and the book got scratched and dented. (I got the hardcover instead of the paperback).

Main Star ~ Cross Country

For the cross country i did not do it because i kinked my neck at rugby and i didnt want to make it worse. But instead of doing cross country I vacuumed the room for student led conferences.
