The Haunted House

When we got in the haunted House, it was SUPER SCARY because the people in the pictures were moving. They changed from their normal face or skin into a zombie or something like that. There was a lady who guided us through the house. She told us that if your wearing anything that’s white it will glow because it was very dark. There were lots of rooms, spider webs and frightening pictures. The first room in the Haunted House was scary but cool. In it was an old woman like skeleton on her rock chair holding a dead baby trying to put it to sleep while looking at us with a big evil grin. Bleach. The next room was pretty horrifying. There was blood on a bed with 2 plastic baby dolls ripped apart with their eyes open. Creepy right. In the hallway I saw brown material tubes hanging down from the roof. They were kinda hard but everyone behind me got lost and scared so I had to guide them to where we were. Around the corner I saw an electric chair. A CHAIR,oh yes yes yes YES! Ah. So nice. The tour guide lady lowered the head part that electrocutes you and asked if she wanted me to do this. Pull the lever. I shouted. Do it. I’m not afraid! She slowly pulled it down. Lower and lower came the lever until she slammed it. I SCREAMED for 1 second and then stopped. I wasn’t electrocuted luckily. What the headpiece of the chair actually does is it blows air on your head really hard and fast. Everyone around me stepped back as I screamed. I was laughing hard out. As we came out everyone was looking at us as if they were thinking ‘’what happened in there. I am not going in there for sure’’. I said to them that it was okay. Just got a fright. Everyone was relieved and walked away. That was the best day of my ENTIER ENTIERS LIFE! I wish we could stay here longer but we can’t and I don’t know why.

The End!

The Haunted House

When we got in, it was SUPER SCARY because the people in the pictures were moving. They changed from their normal face or skin to a zombie or something like that. There was a lady who guided us through the house. She told us that if you're wearing anything that’s white it will glow because it was very dark. There were lots of rooms, spider webs and frightening pictures. The first room in the Haunted House was scary but cool. In it was an old woman-like skeleton on her rock chair holding a dead baby trying to put it to sleep while looking at us with a big evil grin. Bleach. The next room was pretty horrifying. There was blood on a bed with 2 plastic baby dolls ripped apart with their eyes open. Creepy right. In the hallway, I saw brown material tubes hanging down from the roof.

STEAM Term 3 2018.docx

Name: Paige Beach Date: 18.09.18

STEAM - TERM 3
- Coding (Snap4Arduino) and Circuit Boards

In Term 3, the students have been continuing their STEAM learning using the STEAM Electronic kits. They have been learning how to block code using the program Snap4Arduino. The purpose of this learning has been for the students to control one or more LED lights on an electronic Arduino board using code. Each week the coding expectation increased and the students showed perseverance in achieving successful outcomes!

Learning Goal 1. To make an LED blink on/off by controlling voltage from 0V to 5V by programming the Arduino.

Learning Goal 2. To change the speed of blinking to such a high rate that the LED appears to be dimmer.



Learning Goal 3. To make the LED fade on and off by varying the voltage.

2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Circuit Boards’ Reflective Questions.

Paige and izabela's LED circuit!

What was I learning and why? I was learning how to code and how to make an LED flash alternately because it was a way to proceed a higher level at a lower class.


What did I do well and how do I know? I did very well with working together with Izabela and putting together the circuits and coding. I know because me and Izabela Made 5 LED lights flash alternately.


What challenged me? Trying to help others without being appreciated and wiring all LED lights the correct way.


What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful? I would ask them to be patient while I try to help them and use the booklet a little bit more often.

Physical features:Tuatara

Physical features:Tuatara

The tuatara is nocturnal so it has very good eyesight and hunts for food at night. Its teeth are part of the lower jaw-bone and it chews moving the lower jaw back and forth. They’re teeth are not like any other animals teeth because they don’t have any! The skin on the other hand is generally wrinkly. The maori meaning of tuatara is ‘spiny back’. They shed their old skin and new skin grows underneath. This reptile must have access to water otherwise they can easily dehydrate.




Sincerely Paige

Cross Country

We did Cross Country. It was held at Mr.Jones. There was a whole lot of other schools racing there too. They were very fast. I came 10th or 11th. I didn’t keep track! The worst part about it as that we had to go over and around hills and mountains. It was 3km. I sure was puffed and I felt like I had died of not breathing because it so hard. When I finished my race I flopped onto the grass so my mum and dad brought me some food from the canteen. I ate a lot. After that me,Izabela and chelena went hunting for money that other people had accidentally dropped! 10 mins later dad left. Another 10 mins later we had to go home as well. But first we went to school to get changed and return their uniform. I sort of enjoyed that. 3km was way too hard for a 9 turning 10 year old girl.;)

Speech:Diatoms

Did you think that trees were the only things that could produce air? Well they are not.If you don't believe me 

look it up. Diatoms can also produce air. Diatoms are all different kinds of sizes and shapes. They are microscopic living creatures. They live in water like the pacific,arctic ocean,puddles,lakes and in the sea. Diatoms can help plants grow. They do it when they die. How cool is that. When they die they turn to dust and then the wind picks it up. If the diatom dust lands on a plant it will speed up its growth. Diatoms die when they starve to death. Diatoms can also sink to the bottom of the sea if they are not lucky. They will multiply when they die too. Diatoms eat each other if they have to but they are very fast eaters. They eat ice but as soon as feeding time starts it immediately stops. When the ice is about to break off it makes a similar trickling sound of little bubbles popping and water running. There are actually more diatoms than people. Since there is more water than land there would be more diatoms than the human population.The more diatoms there are the more life and air there will be. To me it is cool and crazy when diatoms still create life when they die. What do you like about the diatoms. Do not answer! It is a question that does not need to be answered. It is called a historical question. Any way diatoms can not eat animals or humans although they eat each other and ice. It is a mystery to all. Even scientists. 

Tidy Numbers Paige

WALT subtract using Tidy Numbers so that we can calculate it in our heads. I hope you use this strategy because it is easy :)

The Science Roadshow

Hello I'm Paige and on the eighth of August 2018,Te Kauru and Te Puawai went to the Abundant Life school witch was where the Science Roadshow was held. We had to travel by bus. It was a bumpy ride. It took awhile to get there but we all managed to. My favorite subject was the reflection in a black bowl and that you could put your hand through it and you wont feel anything except the bottom of the black bowl. When we had to sit down, they showed us how big the small and the large intestines really were. They also showed us how much we pee and poo every day and year. Totally gross but totally true. they pulled out a huge plate full of fake brown poo. I noticed that fire needs fuel,oxygen and carbon dioxide in order to be fire. I learned that nitrogen was very cold. If they put the pool ball into the hoop it would go through but if you put the hoop into the nitrogen for one minute and then take it out and put the pool ball into the hoop again it will get stuck because the hoop had shrunken. Cool isn't it. I also learned what the arm muscles are called and how they work. When we had to go I was very sad because I wanted to learn more science. I loved learning about science because it was also fun for me and everyone else.

All About Me

All About Me

Hello my name is Paige Beach and I am 9 years old but people think I look like I am 7. My favourite colour is purple. I like to go to the park and have picnics. I go to Paparore School. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. We like to go to Lake Ngatu and we released a mouse there.

I am good at math and Spelling at my School. I enjoy math the most. I challenge myself into getting 67 correct and I also challenge myself with how fast I run. My goal is to be the smartest in my class.

 I look forward to my Birthday and all of the other celebrations. When I was little I achieved winning the fairest wheel and the only one colour I liked was the golden yellow. I haven't shared much stuff on my blog and I don't know how to connect with others but I know how to connect on Mathletics only.
