CO2 Cars

Last week we started designing CO2 cars. First we drew them most of us had to restart because we just spent all our time making them look fancy and cool and not aerodynamic. I was one of the people who restarted. I did a better job the second time round. I made it aerodynamic and I still made it a bit fancy. I named it DR Giraffe. I had a lot of fun.

The Invention

Week 2 Reflection

What: This week it was labour day so that means that we got the day off school I was so exited. On my day off I went to Castlecliff  park me my sister and her friend also went to the dairy I think it was unfair because I got $1 and they got $1.90c. I got two k bars they were really hard but they were really yum. On Thursday   

we did Rippa rugby again but this time we played a proper game of rugby, everybody was moaning and saying pass the ball stop hogging. 

So What: This week I learnt how to play Rippa rugby and play badminton again. I also think I have done good with our habit of mind taking responsible risk because yesterday I was about to jump off the deck and onto the wooden edge of the garden. I didn't jump because I could have missed and hurt myself or I could land in the garden and get in trouble.

Now What: I want to listen better so I don't get in trouble and get my work finished all of the time.

Rippa Rugby

Last week Room 15 had Rippa Rugby. First we played a game called finding space. In finding space we had to run around like crazy and when we got told to stop we had to sprint to the largest area. When you play finding space it is important to keep your head up because if your looking at the ground you cant see the biggest area. Next we played a game and everyone got a number, 2 people had the same number and there were two teams black and white. One team was attacking and one team was defending. I was in the black team. When a number like 7 was called out the number 7 from each team would run around their team mates, one team would grab the ball and the other would try stop his opponent getting a try. It was fun.

My Holiday

In art I learnt that you can paint with lots of different things like cardboard not just a paint brush. I also learnt how to do lots of different patterns and I learnt that after you’ve painted something you can scratch patterns into the paint using the end of a paint brush.

Week 1 Reflection

What: This week on Thursday we did some art. First we got 8 pieces of paper and named them. Then we got our instructions we had to follow them exactly or we would get the whole thing wrong. Later in the afternoon we played rippa rugby. First we played a game called looking for space. In looking for space you had to keep your head up and when we got told to stop we had to quickly run to the biggest area. Who ever had the biggest area gets to pick whatever they want to build in that spot. It was lots of fun. I think I have done good with our new habit of mind taking responsible risk because I was about to jump to a another tree when I was in a tree but I thought I could miss the tree and break a bone, so I didn't.

So What: I learnt that there are lots of different ways to paint not just with a paint brush and I also learnt some new games in rippa rugby.

Now  What: I want to listen and follow instructions better and not talk so I don't get in trouble and so I finish my work. 

Geometry Lesson!

Room 15 have been learning about geometry so we made some pictures like people, cars, games and houses made out of shapes.
