Swimming Zones

Today certain year five and six students were chosen to be in the Mt Roskill swimming zones. I was one of the students that was chosen, It was so nerve racking once we got there. I was doing freestyle and breaststroke even though I was real bad at breaststroke.  I swam my best in freestyle - 16.50, I was really proud of myself. But in the breaststroke I got 33.30 but yet again it's not my favourite style. We also did a year six boys relay and a year six girls relay and both of our teams came fourth which is awesome. Then every one else did a medley relay bar us because none of us could do butterfly but that's fine. So after all the relays they announced the overall relay winners and of course it was going to be Three Kings School, But overall we had an awesome day.

After we looked at the videos we got some inspiration to write some of our own. Here is my story stater guess what happened at the end, don't forget to comment.

Along the beautiful trimmed bushes, beautiful smooth paint jobs, magnificent polished Audi R8’s along Jam St sits the Troydmurg household. Charles was sound asleep dribbling profusely out of his mouth and nose. His Wife is waffling about herself as per usual. In the meantime his huge black toenail begins to wriggle off…

His toenail has eventually fallen off leaving a revolting odour in the bedroom. Jeremy the toenail started growing bigger and bigger until it was the size of a big baby. Then he begins hopping around the room bashing into everything, but somehow Charles and his wife didn’t wake up. Jeremy hit his head on the wardrobe and some smelly undies fell on his huge jagged toenail head. In the meantime Tom the cat snuck into the room and sat on Charles’s bed, eyeing Jeremy out looking at him like it was his favourite treat. Tom was about to attack when Jeremy ran out the door barely escaping on a journey to find…

My Magnificent Game

Cyber Smart Game

The first step of the game was playing a game that has already been made for example James's game witch was awesome. We got all the links off his game and image ideas off his as well. I inserted  the image then copied the link of the Website/Task and put the link on the image. I also added a link into the game where you roll the dice in the top right so don't forget to do that!

We did it because of all the things that we have done for Cyber Smart and I think James thought we had enough skills to make our own game after 4 terms of it we were ready. It was also a bit of a challenge for us because it took some of us ages and some not so long because they were pros. 

My game is finished so I can let the next year, year 5's to play it so they can learn what Cyber Smart is like. Please comment on my blog.

Book Review

Book Review

Two to three weeks ago we worked on a book review on a book that we have been assigned to by Our teacher. The book I got was The Secret Of Jelly Mountain Witch was a really good book but in the end I didn't finish it so that was a shame. We did this because we wanted to know a bit more about the book and give it a better description on what the book is about. I want to do another book review but we could choose what book we wanted so we could change it up a bit. Here is also my book review.

Toys

Toys 

For the past week we have been making toys for Inquiry. We have been looking around a toy with a mechanism and my one was a pulley. I was working with my friend called Kieren and we made a Slingshot with a Velcro target and Velcro balls so they can stick to the target. We tried to make a Slingshot like the one my brother brought home from Thailand but It was nowhere near. Here is a image of me and my toy. This is Kieren's blog
