Athletics day

Athletics day

“On your marks get set go,” said Mrs Hill. I looked behind me I was last I started to run as fast as I can. Suddenly in the corner of my eye I caught sight of Thea passing me. I started running as fast as I can, I pass lots of people I see the finished line Thea, and Brooklyn were in front of me. Brooklyn had finished Its up to me to came third I hear Hemani shouting my name I starting to sprint as fast as I can I looked behind. Where's Thea? she just finished. Mr Makris put a two on my sticker I thought that's better then getting a one.

“On your marks get set go,” said Mrs Hill again for the next group. I see Hemani sprinting as fast as she could.“ You can do it Hemani,” I said shouting .   But sadly Hemani came last. Mrs Hill told her “Better luck next time,” she said. Mrs Hill told as we had to go to the softball throw with Mrs Paki. We went to Mrs Paki “ Today we are doing softball throw you throw the ball to the yellow cone over there,” She says. It was my turn I pick up the ball and throw the ball it was so close to the cone Mrs Paki gave me a one that's good I thought.

Next was the high jump we were all in line waiting for our turn. Now its my turn I bring both  of my legs up ready to land on the big mat  my legs wouldn't let me jump I had to watch the others Hemani did that to cause Hemani did not  want to do it again. It was lunch and morning tea time we had to eat everything. “ Next year 6 girls go to the 200m race. “ On your marks get set go,” I was running very fast I passed lots of people I see 3 kids in  front of me. “My legs are starting to hurt,” I say. Sadly I came six.  

Reflection for Athletics day

Something I was pleased with was how Hemani was encouraging me at everything I did. Because she was cheering and shouting you can do it. I                              

I really enjoyed learning How to do the softball throw. Because last year I didn't throw it long enough but this year Mrs Paki should me how to do it properly.

                   

Something I found hard was High Jump. Because I was too afraid of doing it.

Something that made me think was Doing the long jump. Because at fist I didn't jump properly because I was over thinking everything. My second time I jumped and did it  properly.

Something I want to get better at is Doing the high jump

         

How I can do that is  trying new things.

How to make a parachute

First parachute drop

1. Andre-Jacque Garnerin When October 22 1797.  

2. He was  french.
3. He became official aeronaut of France.

4. Seven-meter silk parachute.

5. The basket lurched  violently and suffered a bad learning  Garnerin somehow emerged totally uninjured.
6.Approximately 3,000 feet.

7.Jeanne Genevieve Labrosse was his sudden  and he married her. She was the first female parachutist.

What you need

Scissors
Plastic bag

Straw
sellotape

What you do
First you cut a straw into 8 equal parts so it can go on your parachute Then you sellotape the end.

Next grab a plastic bag, cut off the handles and the bottom.

After that cut a square shape, Then fold the square in half,then in a quarter,then an eight,and then a sixteenth.

Next cut of the excess plastic.

Open the shape and you will get a circle,then lay out the circle and sellotape the straw with eight equal parts down on the circle, like this.

You can put some weights on it so it can go slowly. Here is a photo and a link to the site

Yachting and Kayaking Day 3

Something I was pleased with was Me,Lily and Tracy having a go at yachting because we were just having a fun and we really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed learning was the kayaking because now I know how to turn the kayak properly.

                   
Something I found hard was the tiller why? cause when my teammates said to go left I went right.

Something that made me think was kayaking why? cause when I turned I keep on hitting rocks I had to think to move away from the rocks.

  

Something I want to get better at is kayaking on my own because I am bad at it.

         

My Kayaking story

Today I went kayaking on my own at the start I was doing ok I thought. I was turning around boom my kayak went on top of a giant rock. Luckily Kane and Dave helped me get of the rock. It was time to go under the bright so I did. Yes I said because I made it under the I had to cage up to the other I paddle as hard as I can I made it up to them. On the way back was hard I was paddling to slowly when I should of been fast. At the end  I made it.

The Taj Mahal

My Taj Mahal story

The Taj Mahal is a lovely building in Agra in india here is my story of it.

There once was an Empire  who had filled in love with Mumtaz Mahal  they were both in love with each other. One day Mumtaz Mahal had died by having a child The Empire was so  sad  he locked all the doors and locked himself inside his house for 8 whole days. When he come out his back was bent and his black hair is White.

He got all his kingdom to come he made 20,000 men to work on the Taj Mahal its 81 meters long Thats 20 storey building for the queen Mumtaz Mahal. It was built in the  17 century (1600s). They buried  Mumtaz Mahal under the Taj Mahal. Around the Taj Mahal they also made a symmetry and much more. The Empire died as well he is in a dom next to his wife.

Now today you can visiting and go inside the Taj Mahal. In Front of this lovely Taj Mahal there is a little lake.

A letter to Ken Catran

Dear Ken Catran,

My classroom has been reading your fantastic book called Dead Harry. I have been enjoying your book as it is funny and very cool.

My classroom has been making movie trailers I am playing Mrs Anson for the movie trailer and the gun  what she was holding is a ruler. I love making the movie  trailers . Here is a link to my classroom blog so you can see the movie   trailer’s The Tree of pride

My Favorite character in the book is Harry. Why? He is a very good character I like when he Helps Sam and Anna when they need his help most. Harry would like  Sam to figure out how he died and why he died.

My favorite part is when Sam and Anna find out that the favorite  teachers are  were working with the bad people. Because they were only doing it for money that was a good part in the book. Thank you for reading to my letter. I hope you enjoyed it.

Your Sincerely 

Emma Morrison

The ordinary day

The ordinary day
One ordinary day lived an ordinary girl in a ordinary  house. I hopped on my  bed and starting to watch ordinary Tv .My  mum shouted “ Emma come down for school”so off I went, I Walked very slowly to school when I came to school the bell ring at the same time every day I put my bag down and walk into class very slowly
The teacher was sick again so we had a new teacher in the class Mr pea his name was.He talked about monsters and dragon.Then for writing we all close our eyes and imagine to fly with the birds “everyone open your eyes” said Mr Pea “now start your writing” the bell ring I saw Mr Pea near his car I came and said “today was the best day ever” “ yes it was” I went home and thought that was the best day ever.
The next day I was so excited about school tomorrow when tomorrow came Mr Pea was nowhere to be seen we had our normal teacher Mrs Knight it turn out to be boring Tuesday Mrs Knight said  “Mr Pea only came in because I was sick” it was like he never step foot into the classroom.
