We went to lots of different places while we stayed in Wellington like ,Te papa,Zealandea,parliament,Space Place,wellington zoo and a marine reserve. While on camp my three favorite three places we went to were H2O Xtream,Android app making and Weta workshop. I liked H2O Xtream because we were all making huge trains and going down the water slides together .The only down side to H2O Xtream was that I jumped into the pool and cut my knee. I liked Weta workshop because we got to hold guns and props from movies ,like the rail gun from district nine and the Tommy gun from King Kong what made it even better is that I had seen those props in the movies. I liked android app making because using a simple app I made 4 apps that I could even use on the phone provided. My Favorited app was the magic 8 ball ,we programmed the app to show a random answer after shaking the phone we also made it make the sound cha ching when we shake the phone.

In week five and six I learnt about the holocaust and the Nazis. I learnt that the Jews where rounded up by Nazis to get either killed or made into slaves, this  all happened throughout world war two. I had lots of fun at robotics on both Thursdays and I learnt how to make a robot called sphero walk by putting in orders or controlling it we used the sphero app on the i pads in week seven but in week six we used tickle to control them. In maths I learnt about B.E.D.M.A.S. bedmas is a way to figure out a equation it means brackets,indeces/powers,division,multiplication,addition and subtraction. you use this to find the correct answer in a equation. I also learnt about how to place commas like in lists and before fanboy. That is what I learnt in weeks seven and six

Week five was good I had my first robotics session and we watched a video and used the i pads and went on tickle to try make a object move and talk. I also learnt to pay more attention when writing the page number and the work we have to do  in maths sometimes I miss out the most important things like how many questions to do so I end up doing too much work and wasting lots of precious  time but know I am going to pay more attention. Also we won jump jam with the most points possible.  Overall i had a amazing week five and I learnt lots.

I found week three exciting but it is still hard to keep up with all the notices but Friday sport was fun and danish rounders also is fun because our team is in the finals. Also I did swimming heats. The most important thing I learnt is that you need to listen hard,very hard to the notices because you can miss your activities and meetings. Also I got my mathletics pass words and I learnt how to find live games and do things on mathletics. In music I learnt how to play some tunes and about the classical era and now I can play F,G,C and A minor on the ukulele.

I find TAI a lot different then my previous schools. the biggest difference is the opportunity there are for example camps,trips,band,sports,leadership positions and more. At my old school there were opportunities but not such a vast amount. I do find the assemblies quite long but you leave having a lot more info about the week.  I found my first few days hard with so many notices but some how I managed. I have had a fun first couple of days and now I am getting to the school and I am sure it will be a great year.
