 For practical learning the last term we made head phone bags that we all hand stitched.This is what mine looks like... I chose  these patterns because I wanted an animal print on it and I was about to do candy but then I saw the owls. The trickiest part about making this bag was sewing on the letter Z because you had to go into all the gaps of the letter. The part  I  liked the most was when I was sewing on the cord because that was the last thing I did and I was almost finished! I am very proud of my head phone bag!!!

 In room 15 one of our reading active learning tasks is what could we do ? I ts were we have to  repurpose glass and come up with three different ideas. Here are mine.

  Visiting W.I.S was really fun. We did hard materials/ wood work, music, cooking and my favorite class, science. Science was fun with all the electronics and creating fire from a lighted candle. This is me in music class.

  For reading active learning I made a Waka. The most challenging thing to make was sticking on the flags because they kept falling over and it got very frustrating. The easiest thing to do was gather the materials because they were all in a box that you could grab them out of.It was a really fun thing to make and I suggest you give it a go to. 

Here are my 3 paragraphs describing my holiday experience. Can you guess which are fact and which are fiction 

I have done a word art shaped rain drop with words that are related to the water cycle and water.

The water cycle in a bag experiment was really fun to do and the end result was awesome. What happened-  the Bag with the water in it was heated up by the sun and the water started to evaporate. Then the evaporated water started to form on the bag and was turned into condensation. When you pushed on the bag while it was condensation the water dripped down like it precipitated. It fell into the water at the bottom and collected there. Evaporation- When water heats up and turns in to a gas called water vapour. Condensation- The water that evaporated forms into a cloud. Precipitation- When the clouds get to heavy they leak and fall down from the sky. Collection- When the water that fell from the sky falls back in the lakes, rivers and ponds. Here is what the experiment looks like and what the water cycle looks like.

In room 15 for P.E we have been doing hockey. All of the skills we have been learning have been fun to try. I recommend you give playing hockey a go too.

"Easter!!" I thought all morning, the word was practically rushing through my mind. The day was really great until we got up to one part. It was time to do… Easter rock hunting ( at home of course. ) The aim of the game is that we had to find all of the painted Easter rocks and there were 2 special rocks that we could find and if you found them you could choose a cool family activity. We had lots of rounds that we did but one of the rounds I found both the special rocks! I looked over at Jasmine and she looked a little bit disappointed so I gave her one of my special rocks that I found so then we could both pick an activity.  Jasmine's disappointed look became a happy little smile.

Yesterday I made a sculpture out of recycled materials, those materials were bottle lids, a broken light bulb, old ice-cream container, cheese lid and a baking soda container. It was lots of fun to make this sculpture and we (meaning me and my sister) called it the light of colour and creativity because it is very colourful and we made it with pure creativity.    

My Obstacle course Today me and my family made an obstacle course and here is how it works. First we had to weave a soccer ball through 3 bowls there and all the way back. Next we had a skipping rope that we had to jump over 10 times and then we moved on to throwing the frisbee so it hit the fence. Then we threw 3 small bouncy balls into a washing basket and had to run to where you would do 5 push ups and 5 star jumps. After, we had to run to the trampoline and do 5 bum knees and then we had to run to the clothes rack where we crawled underneath it and that was the finish! Times Me. The first round my time was 2m 28s, and the second round I was 2m 08s. Jasmine. Jasmine was 3m. 11s the first round and 2m 43s the second round. Mum. My mum was 2m 40s the first round but didn't do a second round. Dad. My dad was 2m 43s the first round and didn't do a second round either.
