Swimming Sports

On Monday the 7th we went over to the lido and had swimming sports there are 2 different types that you can do non-competitive or competitive I did non-competitive freestyle and backstroke all the non-competitive freestyle girls had to come out and line up in rows from 1-6 and I was in the third row and after 2 mins I went and hopped into the pool and the teacher said on your marks get set go and then we swam all the way to the end and I felt proud of myself after sometime we did the backstrokeand I did better than I did before and I was really happy and felt quite cold. Later after a few hours we got to have freeplay and I swam down to the deep end by myself for the first time because last time I didn't know how to swim to the deep end then we used swimming objects and it was really fun.

Week 1 Term 4 Integrated Unit

On Tuesday and Wednesday of week one term 4 our class has been working on our integrated unit and we did it on EVOLVING and we did a Technology challenge on Tuesday we made ballon powered cars and our car was a little successful but we were also learning in the pit, the learning pit is a thing we used for when we got stuck. We had three pieces of post stick notes of two colours(Orange and Yellow) We had to use the orange post stick note for our sayings another yellow post stick note for our feelings and then we made it into a pit and we sometimes got stuck but no one gave up. Later on Wednesday we had to cut out a very complicated piece of work and everyone thought it would be easy but it wasn't at all my group nearly gave up until we finally got it and we felt so excited and happy we also had to write our documentation about our group in the learning pit and it was very fun and a good way to write how we finally got to the stage that we had finished it.

Term 3 School Holidays

On the first week of the holidays my family and I went to Wellington to see my cousins there was a little baby boy that was six months old and a two year old boy they both a really cute. Later when we came we watched TV and the incredibles was on so I watched the whole movie because I hadn't seen that movie in years then it was bedtime so I brushed my teeth and fell asleep. The next morning we went to Te Papa and we took lots and lots of photos so we hardly got anywhere later everyone was hungry so we went to Mc Donald's and KFC for our lunch table we were going to go to the garden but thousands of people were there and it was the spring festival so lots of people were obviously going to be there so we went to Zealandia and it was super fun because we got to see the birds. After a few hours we were going to go to the Planetarium but it cost too much so we went back home and played a game and watched some movies and went shopping at the Mall and it was huge so we had to shop really fast so that we won't be late to leave back to Palmerston North then we went home and had afternoon tea and left back home I was really sad but I had a really fun time and I really enjoyed seeing my cousins.

TML(The Mind Lab) Trip

On 22.09.15 Tuesday My class (GRi11) went to The MindLab in Petone,Wellington there were heaps of fun activities that we could do, our class had a really great time at MinLab.

 

There was Stop Motion Animation and it was really fun and crazy we got to make our own animations and my groups one was the wizards spell in the animation the wizard did a spell on a dog and something went wrong with the spell and it grew bigger and bigger each time and and it exploded on the dog and the dog turned into a bull and it killed the wizard. There is a variety of settings that you can choose from.

This is the 3d Printing it is my favourite part at MindLab, we got to create our own 3d printing and we know that everyone wants there own 3d printing, and guess what when you've made your design they send it over to your place and you can make whatever you want so that you can enjoy what you do.

There is also the Scribble-bots and you make a robot that makes scribbles and you need a plastic cup a motor and pens etc you attach the pens and motor onto the cup and you can make it scribble on the paper and it looks very cool.

There was another thing called a MaKey MaKey and it was something that you use with circuits you put a wire on the earth and another wire into something different and you can play anything you want like play-dough and it can play what you wanted it to do.

These are the cars that we can make using cardboard CD disc's that make your car move and it moves when you give it a boost so that it will go and they can make a raceway and test there cars to see that if they can improve there car.

$10 Note Writing

One day there was a little girl named Rosie she had a favourite game called CandyLand, the reason she loved the game was because you earn money each time you find a special piece of candy shaped as a key you eat it and then you earn a note if the key candy is gold if it is silver you get a coin when you earn money you can go to the store and buy junk food so you won't starve. Later after a week the maker of CandyLand decided to promote the game so on the day that they promoted she (Rosie) wished that she could teleport into the game so that night she secretly sneaked over to the TV and stood next to it she closed her eyes and... She'd teleported into the game she knew it was going to be dark so she galloped all the way to find a bed she saw a round lollie that looked like a bean bag so she jumped onto it, After she felt a little cold she had an idea she could keep herself warm by wrapping herself with lolly wrappers. After that day she felt her stomach rumbling so she remembered that when you earn money you can buy junk food with it, she searched and searched for a key but she couldn't she started roaming around and then she saw a cute jellybean also searching for a key she also remembered that was the character she always used on the game. She saw a gold key she ate it and she sprinted to the junk food stall she bought a burger and a grape soda she finished it and then she felt energetic so she ran and looked for her favourite character Bob he hid behind the jaw breaker and she looked behind and she found him I'm scared scared she said to the bean she wanted to go back home out of CandyLand so she asked if Bob if he could help her she told him why she needed his help,After a few seconds he went and he came back with a remote so she said will you teleport me out of here he said that he can't unless she paid her $50 so she used the spare money to teleport her out of CandyLand she went got teleported back it was still dark she tiptoed to her room she found that everything in her room was made out of money she woke up and she realised it was all a dream but when she found the golden coin she fell into deep trouble she saw her money she got from the game that all that time the money was edible so she ate it but it tasted horrible so. After that day she went to school and told her friends about it and also her friends gave her money but she didn't want it she gave it to her other friend Sarah her friend said thanks and now she goes through the same
