2013

I have enjoyed about swimsafe beacause I get to go to the deepest pool and my frist time ever and I was the high group and I was lucky beacuse I get to go to the diving pool it was fun but when it was my turn I was scared to jump off beacuse I got butterflies in my tummy and I thought that I would drown.

Athletics Running

We have learnt to run and Mrs Head taught us running. It was hard to beat the boys and I was puffed

and Mrs Head said on your marks and we did one step up to the line and get set we bent our knee down and do the opposite arm and pretend to hold a feather. On go I try my hardest to get first place.

My goal is to run faster by swinging my arms more in my capital L shape.

Athletics Throwing

I am good at my throwing and I have to throw a long one and my goal is to throw longer every time and try to throw past the tall logs.

App Review for Pic Collage

Here is my app review for Pic Collage.

App Review For Pic Collage.

Pic Collage is an app where you reflect on your learning by using pictures.

I have used Pic Collage to show my learning at different events like when the Hot Air Balloon came to our school.

Pic Collage helps me with my learning because it is an app to share our learning with other people.

I think Pic Collage should stay on the i- pads or i-pods because it is a fantastic way to share our learning quickly.

Pic Collage is a collaborative app because you work with other people to make the Pic Collage.

Next time I use Pic Collage I am going to try and use pictures that actually show the order of what we did the event in. I could use it to summarise the story I have read at reading time or I could use it in writing for planning my beginning, middle and end.

Character Description

Icebreaker looks evil she likes white and that is her favourite colour. Her hair looks like waves of wiggly worms. She has got an ice house in the snow. Her house looks smooth and icy like you are going to fall down it but she doesn't. She has got a Santa sleigh but it is white so she doesn't have to walk. She is not cold because she has got clothes made out of snow bear. She eats wood and people if is she is hungry. If she touches something which is not white it will turn into white and snaps it in half. She sounds like a normal person but she is evil. Her eyes look like a sleeping ghost she sleeps in the daytime but when someone sits by her she gets frightened and she wakes up.She is a witch and fights with the good people.

Learning my divided by

I have learnt my ten, two and five  times tables and can use my times knowledge to work out my divided by's.

What is Culture?

Mrs Head asked us what is culture? We could show her and Room 9 any way we wanted, what we thought culture is. I choose to create a sock puppet video to explain what I thought.

Room 9 Assemby

I felt nervous because I was scared to go on the stage.
I enjoyed sharing the if your a kid song because we got to dance.
I have improved because I went on the stage and said my lines.

Designing an instrument for home learning

Today I made my instruments with my family it was a small shaker and a big shaker and a clicker and a drum and a bottle.
I made my drum using a can and ducktape. I ducktapped the top. My drum makes three sounds a low sound when you tap on the ducktap. A middle sound when you tap the side of the can and a loud sound when you tap the bottom of the can.

WOW Visit

WoW

We went to the museum I enjoyed seeing the costumes because it was famous in the world.
And we learnt about the cool designs and they are all the winners there.  It all looked cool and the moon costume was like a feather flying up in the sky.  It will help me to make my own costumes because we looked at all of the costumes even the night glow it is blue and I was blue because of the blue light and the butterfly was cool.
