Extravaganza Poem
Beep Beep off we ran to win some activities.

Swish off we ran to guess correct colours of the cones.

Thud Thud Thud we walked down to our second activity

Bang one drop ball, our second activity is touch

Beep Beep the horn went everyone separated into their schools

Munch Crunch went the food

Now it was time to go outside to get wet

Beep Beep the car horn went

Zooom they weaved through the poles

Scooped up the water and slide back down

Splash the water went in the bucket

Now it was my  turn I zoomed up through the poles

I filled up the cup

SPLASH the bucket of water got poured on top of me as I was sliding down

Then Click Miss Lamb took a photo of me as I zoomed down

The water was everywhere

Then Boom my team captain just poured another bucket of water on me

Beep Beep now it was time to go back to school I was devastated

Brrrrrrrrrm Brrrrrrrrm we drove into the distance

What Swimming Is

Swimming is a sport that you do in water. There are different types of strokes in swimming that you can swim many lengths of. Most towns and Cities have a swimming pool.  At a pool you can swim lengths. There are different sized lengths like the one in Balclutha is 25 meters. There are 4 strokes and they are called Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle. Backstroke is the only stroke that you are on your back. For swimming you wear Togs and dry yourself with a towel, and  you can use A swimming cap, Goggles and fins some of these help you swim. You can swim in any open water place at any time, but if it’s at a pool you have to go in between the trading hours. You can go swimming anywhere at anytime like one week at school we had swimming it was fun we learnt new things and how to do them. In our group we did 4 different strokes.

The Interpretation Key

Key 20. The Interpretation key. A moving blinking light in the night sky…

1. It was only 6:00pm and it was dark. We were playing outside. I heard a vrmmm, I did not know what it was. It was coming from the sky, looking up I saw a flashing red light I didn't know what it was so I told my friends they didn't know what it was either. Soon the light was nearly out of sight we chased it down the road. Our parents followed us they told us what it was, Apparently it was a rescue helicopter. They told us to go inside so we did, when we went to bed we heard another vrmmm so we woke up and chased it down the road.

Today we used tholman.com/texter/ with Mrs Kenneally and we used a piece of writing and drew a image. I drew a house.

2017 Technology Challenge

Technology Challenge
On Wednesday we did an Technology Challenge we were in 6 groups of 4. We had to make a pet house big enough to fit a toy dog in. These are the materials we got to use a glue stick, cello tape, scissors and newspaper. To do this we had Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Our Pet house had to be stable, look good, a door, shelter and big enough to fit the dog in.
In my group I had Akmal, Cooper and Mya. Our first idea was a triangle with a cube around it, But Akmal threw that out and then we decided to build a cube, But Miss Lamb said that we could fold the newspaper sticks in half so we did. On Friday morning we had to build the walls. We all enjoyed building it and we all hope that we get to do something like it again.

Technology - Savoury Muffins

On Thursday when the year seven and eights were at technology the year one to sixes made savoury muffins in technology. We were split into three groups to make these. We got the option of Tomato, Red Onion, Spinach, Tasty Cheese or Ham to put in them. Miss Lamb and Mr Storer helped us with baking these. They were fun to bake and we hope we get to make something similar to them again in the near future.

I watched a video named partly cloudy.  It was about a pelican and a cloud. First the pelicans goes with the stuff the clouds gave them and gives them to the creatures that need them and then
loneliness, happiness...

The Bald Eagle Story

The Bald Eagle zoomed across the river as it looked for its prey finally the eagle found its prey, Salmon. The Bald Eagle took the salmon carrying it with its  6 talons to its perch at a top of an old tree and dropped it into its mouth. Not long after it had its last meal the big bird flew off its perch and got some more salmon. Then, once again it glided off to its perch and sat on it perch. With one big gulp it swallowed the Salmon, but this time watched the birds soar in the blue sky. The next beautiful morning the sun was shining above the birds perch so the bald eagle set off on a soaring adventure into the nearby forest. The Bald Eagle flew across the tips of tall trees and beside the edges of small trees. Then the bird came to a lake there were fish jumping in and out of the water, after the bald eagle watched for a moment he flew with speed towards the water and caught some salmon and ate it, then the bird prepared for the way back to its perch. After its long flight back it dipped its feet in the lake near its perch and flew off onto its perch and had a big deep sleep. The next morning the bird flew off to find some food when the Bald eagle came back to its perch it was gone the big bird was shocked and then had a good idea, so the bird flew off into the distance to find another perch.
