Jean Batten day

 On Tuesday our class (MLH) booked the hall for the day to do Jean Batten inquiry.  If you don't know who Jean Batten is, she is the first woman to fly from New Zealand to England.

In the hall we did lots of code cracking kind of like a treasure hunt.  Our first clue was very hard because I had never done something like that before.  Luckily my group has so they could help me with it.  It was very confusing but I got it overtime.

Our second clue was fun because we had to team up with a group and sit opposite of eachother and make letters with our arms.  After that we made sure we got the right words by calling them out.  Then we called out random word and you had to write down the first letter of the word and it starts to make words.

When we finished all of the clues we made two different type of paper plane the Gull and the Moth paper planes and the teachers set up challenges to see what plane is better.  I got paper to make the moth and the plane we made was the same as my poppas paper planes that he makes, so I made mine real fast compared to the rest of my group.

The first challenge was to see whos plane could go furthest.  I wasn't quite sure who won that but I know somebodys plane went real far.  Our second challenge was to try get your plane through a hula hoop, nobody got through it but someone hit it.  The last challenge was to try hit a bullseye on a sheet from across the room.  When I first tried, I thought it was impossible, but then archie almost hit it and I thought otherwise.  When It was my turn again I threw my plane knowing it wouldn't hit, but then it swerved and hit the middle of the bullseye
