Project Based Learning
This week I was working on my science project on this part of my science project our task was to work on a imaginary animal this meant we could create any animal,The animal I chose wasn't based of off out of my head I chose these three animals because of its good traits it has,Here I wrote some descriptions of my hybrid,So my animal is a close size to a bird so it might be quite big for my animal.

Here is a quick update on my PBL
Sailing
This week on Tuesday we went to sailing at sailing,We went to okahu bay to do our sailing,When we got there we were introduced to the coaches that were gonna help us to sail,They gave us some information about how our rotation was gonna a go,We were put into groups of three and in each group is five people,Our first rotation was with a coach she,taught how to tie useful knots that we could use in the future,After a few sessions of learning how to tie a knot,She took us outside to a opti (Opti small sailing boat),She taught how to bring it down apart and build back up again,We each had a race against each other after 2 matches of having a race,Key won by 40 seconds,After that she took us to the speed boat or dingy,We got to drive in the area because we,Were only allowed to drive 5 knots in the border,As we got out of the border we could go as fast as we could,As our first rotation was done we were swapped with other people in the opti so that meant our rotation would be faster we did laps around these cones for 45 mins then,Third rotation,On our third rotation we were going on the big sailing boats the boats were called quest,as we had a spin of the boat we could sit right up in the front as i went up to the,Front it gave me a adrenaline rush so that made me stay there even more,After our rotation we came back and got changed and said our fairwells.
What I learned at sailing
I learned to use the sail and to have fun,When me and my partner capsized we used teamwork to get the boat back on its feat,
