Athletics-Long Jump

On the first day of long jump my heart was pounding it was girl vs boy me and Ella were facing each other.I sprinted is hard as I could then I pounced into the soft silky sand.Then leaped out and went to the back of the line.When it was my shot for the last time we all got mixed up because this time I was against Sarah.So I tried the same thing again.

You have the strength I know you do. You can do it it's all in you. Use your heart to make a better life. Continue your life and celebrate those happy days. Be thankful for your survival. It's all right don't be sad but have hope don't be scared. Keep on learning more everyday. Forget about that day and keep on moving forward. Remember the good memories you had with your family and that they are still in your heart. You still have a life to live and do the things you love to do.                                                                                                                                                                                                        From Alex (Vardon School, NZ)

Volcano experiment

                                                          The power of mentos                                                                         Welcome and I wonder if you know what contains in the mentos that  makes an eruption?Well I will tell you.
In mentos there is sugar which means the quicker it falls down the quicker the eruption happens. Do you know what CO2 and H2O is? Well H2O is water and CO2 is air (carbon dioxide). H20 traps CO2 in and the mentos breaks the water up and the CO2 gets bigger then explodes.
Now you know why a volcano explodes try this at your house Baammmm!                

Jump Jam

I loved being in the jump jam because I got to perform on stage.When the lady took us through the door I did not know where we were going but when I looked I saw the stage. I was hoping the other team would go first but then I heard we were going first. I was so frightened when I got on the stage I started to get used to it once it was over I was so proud of myself.

Athletics-running

I have learnt a lot about running from Mrs Head. First stand straight and still then put your right or left leg forward. Next put the opposite arm in front with your fingers looking like your holding a feather.
When you hear a clap you sprint to the finish line and it doesn't matter if you come 1,2,3 or 4 because it's all about having fun. My goal is to stay in my lane when I run.

App Review for Pic Collage

Here is my Pic Collage app review.

App review For Pic Collage

Pic Collage is an app that can find awesome ways to tag stuff in different new amazing ways where you can make your own background and add lots of pictures on top of the background.

I have used Pic Collage to share photos about Keeping New Zealand Beautiful.

Pic Collage helps me with my learning because you can share your learning with other people.

I think Pic Collage should stay on the ipod or ipad because it is a wonderful app where you can place many photos on one whole page using just one app.

Pic Collage is a collaborative app because you can share your learning with other people and your family.

Next time I use Pic Collage I am going to use it to show my writing over time to show how much longer my stories have got or a page of all my most interesting stories.

Writing Warmup

Tuesday's writing warmup we had to write a story that used a pencil, boot and $5 note. We only had 8 minutes to write it. This is my story.

Once upon a time there lived a little boy named Oliver. One day Oliver went to by a pencil with his $5 note. He almost forgot to put on his gumboots. So he walked down the road to get a pencil.
