Gymnastics

This week on Thursday we had our fourth lesson with our coach Steve. We had some new things we had to try like on the bars we had to try and swing back and forth like on a swing. The things I found challenging were the handstand on the wall I found it challenging because I couldn't bring the bar closer to the wall. Another thing I found challenging was the beam and walking backwards because I am not really good at walking backwards. My group Alex, Aung Naing, Jack, Rhys, Chavda and Avalon.) The circuit I was in was we were doing handstands on the wall and bringing the bar closer to the wall and swinging on the steps back and forth. We were learning a new skill called the dive roll.

Who am I

Today I made A google drawing about who I am and what are the things I like. On my google drawing I used transparent images to make the google drawing about what I like.Transparent is when there is no background to an image so you can put images without other images are not covered.

Major Yuri Gagarin Animation

This week for reading we used our creative skills to create an animation or an explainer movie about Yuri Gagarin, in groups. My group and I decided to create an animation. Before we created the animation, we planned it as a group. On a piece of paper we drew a S to include the information we wanted about Yuri Gagarin from the start to the finish. A fact about Yuri Gagarin is that he was the first cosmonaut to orbit Earth in Vostok 1. After planning the animation, we started to create our animation. We chose a leader to tell us our job of creating our animation. We all decided that Chavda was the right leader of our group. My group and I worked together as a team and helped each other to complete our animation. I think that everyone in my group had great create skills and are really talented in drawing digitally.

Stardome Trip

Yesterday on Thursday evening LS2 went on a trip to Stardome in One Tree Hill. When we got to Stardome we walked in and went into this room where you can sit on a seat and take you on a tour about space. The guy who was controlling this tour talked to us about the constellations, and my favorite constellation is Sagittarius the Archer he is a half man half horse.

 When we finished that we went out and has ten minutes to have a look around and see what else they had in the Stardome. There was a angry birds game and you play on planets and there is this thing that you can pick a planet and stand on a metal thing that sees ho much you weigh and it compares it to see how much you will weigh on the planet you picked. When we left the Stardome it was dark and when we got back to school some peoples parents were waiting outside.

It was fun at the Star I learn't so many things.

Penguins

Penguins

Penguins are unusual animals the Male penguins look after the eggs until they hatch while the Female penguins go, and hunt for food. Penguins are flightless birds which means they can’t fly. Penguins have created technique on how to move from place to place faster it is called tobogganing its when the penguins slide around on their stomachs like a sled on the ice.  Penguins use a special oil to keep them warm and keep their feathers clean.

Penguins come in all different colours and sizes the tallest penguin is the Aptenodytes forsteri, and its height is 122m and the smallest penguin is the little penguin and its height is 33cm. The main colours of a penguin is a black back and a white stomach.  The female penguins do everything : eating, swimming, hunting and nesting.


 Penguins are carnivores (they eat meat). Penguins main meal is fish but they also eat Krill, Squid and other small sea animals. Penguins will eat food at any time of the day or night.


Penguins live in different kind of countries They mostly live in the southern hemisphere. Some of the countries they live in are New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, south america, Falkland Islands, Galapagos Islands, Gough Island and South sandwich island.


Also did you know that Penguins get out of the water by rocketing out The penguins can be found in a lot of different places in the world.

This week for writing I made a information report about penguins. First we had to make a copy of a google document for note taking before we did the writing about the penguins to help us write our information report. The structure of a information report is TIPS Tittle, introduction, paragraphs and summary. In a information report there has to have technical words and must be in present tense. In my information report about penguins was to talk about the appearance (what they look like), diet (what they eat and the habbitat (where they live) of the penguins. I have learnt that penguins are extraordinary creatures.

Gymnastics

L.I To learn multiple tasks. This week LS2 had our second session with Steve from Eastern Suberbs Gymnastics. We were doing Foward rolls, Backwards rolls, Cartwheels, Beam-Balance, Jumping and building strength. We had a warm up game it was like stuck in the mud its when there are two taggers and Steve would tell us a way to try not to get tagged like hop on one leg and skipping. If you get tagged you would have to put one knee on the ground with one arm up and someone would have to pretend to sit on you like a toilet and they pull your arm down. After that we did our stretches. We were in rotation groups so we don't all go to the same activities and people don't get hurt. Examples of each circuit were circuit 1: handstand on the wall and have one leg out, circuit 2: Foward roll on a beam, and circuit 3: run and jump on a trampoline and make a star shape with your body.

Agents of change

This week we were talking about being an agent of change, an agent of change is a person that makes change to make the most of their learning and they turn problems into solutions.

Tech

This week for tech everybody doing woodwork were almost finished their design. Mr Grundy was talking to us about the what we did on the first day that we went to him. What Mr Grundy was telling us to do write down on a piece of paper what the process was on how started to how we were up to now. Mr Grundy has on his white board a list saying Mr Grundy I need help so if we don't know what to do then we write our name on the board and he will call out our name and come to us to help us.
