E.O.T.C (Education Outside The Classroom) Week.

E.O.T.C week is education outside the classroom week.  E.O.T.C week is where the trusted trekkers pick fun things for the year 5 and 6's to do or go to, the year 4's can also join in but only one day.  This year we went surfing and body boarding on Thursday, we went to Adrenaline Forest on Friday, we were going to go sailing on Monday but it was raining so it was canceled and on Tuesday we went to mega air and we did a fun challenge called top team.  Top team was at school and we got into groups then we started doing lots of different challenges against different groups.

In Mega Air we were jumping on lots of trampolines, and there was a foam pit in mega air, I learnt a cool trick on one of the trampolines, the trick was jumping from one platform onto a trampoline, then onto another platform in one jump, the platforms were a bit far away.  Mega air's rules were, no diving headfirst, no double or triple flips, remove all socks, shoes and jewelry, no phones or cameras while bouncing, take all photos from the walkways, no food or drinks on the trampolines, walk, don't run, don't jump on the pads, land on two feet, and always jump in the center of the trampolines.

If you can't jump onto a platform, you can't jump off, watch out for other jumpers, especially children, don't run in front of other jumpers, follow the jump guards instructions or you will be asked to leave, no hanging from the basketball hoops and bounce to your ability.  At Adrenaline Forest we got to climb up trees with clippers so we were safe, there was lots of challenges for us because sometimes the clippers got stuck and we couldn't pull them off so it took awhile.  I hope you enjoy some of these photos because I enjoyed everything in E.O.T.C week.

I have made a slide about onomatopoeia from comics, I have heard some of these noises from comics but I will be making new sounds for them.  In the past few weeks I have been learning about comics and onomatopoeia is in lots of different types of comics so, my teacher has assigned me to find noises of different things and then, record the noises then write what I thought they sounded like.  But there is a twist, I had to search and see if those words existed, and if they already did exist, then I couldn't use them.  I hope you enjoy.
