Athletics Day!!!

Yesterday was athletics day.  On athletics day we have to do 6 events.  The events are, Discuss, Shot put, Long Distance, High Jump, Long Jump and Sprints.  We had to do Sprints before lunch time, and when I did Sprints I came second to last.  After lunch time we started the events, first up was Shot put.  I'm not sure which place I came in Shot put but I know it was fun.  

Next thing was Long Distance.  In Long Distance, we had to do four laps around the field but to make sure no one was cheating we had to run across a white line.  I came fourth and I was proud of myself because four is my lucky number.

Next thing was Discuss, in Discuss we had to line up in a line.  It was less than half a minute before it was my turn.  When I was up I threw the Discuss and it wasn't that far, we had to go into different lines after our turn was finished.  I went into the line all the way on the left, and some people went in the line all the way on the right.  When we all had one turn each, the 10 year old boys had to line up again and do it again.  When they were finished it was time to go to the next event, Ms Scott said that we (the 11 year old boys) would have to come to the field at lunch time the next day.

The next thing up was High jump.  At High jump, Mr. Martin had put the bar at 50cm up.  It wasn't that high, we all were able to jump over it.  Next, He put it up to 80 cm.  I was able to jump over it.  Then he put it up to 90 cm and I wasn't able to jump over it.

Next thing is Long jump.  Long jump was the last thing for Athletics day, and I was surprisingly bad at it considering I always jump around all the time.  When I jumped the first time it was a practice jump, but it was probably better than my second jump.  Once I was about to jump for the second time, I thought to myself, 'What do other people do to make them go farther?' I looked at the person going next, it was Lasa, I looked to see if he did anything to make him jump farther.  He didn't, he just jumped and hoped.  So that's what I did, but I got 2.1. most of the other 11 year old boys had a bigger number than me.  I didn't worry about, I was happy that I had fun.

It went pretty good but I mainly felt really happy knowing that my Mum was there to cheer for me.  My favourite part of the day was Long distance because I did four laps without stopping and I came fourth which isn't bad.  Next year I won't be here for athletics but hopefully at the High School there are some sort of fun.

The Mysteries Of The Never Ending Solar System

For the past few weeks I have been collecting exciting information about the solar system and I have created a slideshow about 3 big questions we all would love to know.  I have made it into a slideshow because I wanted it to be more interesting and exciting.  I have added pictures in so it can look better.  Hopefully you like it because I put a lot of work into it.  Here it is, I hope you enjoy it.

W.A.L.T: Understand Reflection

Freak The Mighty Tony D. Character Description

The picture below is a character description that I have written about a character from the book Freak the Mighty.  The character is Tony D.,  this character description is a work in progress so it might change later.  The purpose of me showing all of you is so that I can get feedback.  If anyone has any questions or any comments, I would like it if you comment down below because feedback is one thing that I need.  Freak the mighty is written by Rodman Philbrick.  The reason I am reading Freak the mighty is because in my class, I am in literacy group 2 and we get to read novels to make D.L.O's about those novels, last term I read Number the stars by Lois Lowry.

How to Screenshot

Screenshotting.

You might be wondering why a picture of my last post is on this post.

Well, today I am going to teach you how to screenshot.

The first key you must have to screenshot, is the Control key or, the Ctrl key.  The second key is Shift.  The third key is the Switch Window button.  If you don't know what this button is, then press Ctrl + Alt + Then the ? button.  That is the tutorial for if you want a certain part of the screen to be screenshotted, but if you want to screenshot the whole screen, then you have to press: Ctrl + Switch window button.

W.A.L.T: Create Nets For 3D Shapes

This term I have started learning about Geometry.  We started by naming shapes and 3D shapes, then we named how many corners, edges and faces those shapes had, but we were put in different groups of course, so there are Diamonds, Circles and Stars.  I was put in Diamonds, Diamonds had to work on symmetry lines in week 1.  Squares and Circles didn't.  This week Squares and Circles are creating their D.L.O's for Edges Faces and Corners.  We, the Diamonds, have to work on 3D nets and we have to put at least 3 3D shape nets in our D.L.O, here it is.

I hope you enjoy.
