Totara Fun Day

Today on the 7th of December the whole senior school had a fun day to celebrate the year.We got a ticket with a variety of activities and where they were held.The first activity I done was making a mouse out of felt and a candy cane.First we got a template then cut it out onto the felt.Then once we got all of our bits altogether we would hot glue them altogether to make it into one.Once we finished everything we got to pick a candy cane to make a tail.Next I went to the cooking and I had to wait in a horrendously long line.But once I got my waffles it wasn't the best one I have tasted but it was fine.After cooking I went swimming.When I got into the pool it was freezing cold.We didn't really

Athletics Training 2018

On Monday the 5th of November the whole senior school is going to do athletics.We are doing training of every sport that is going to be included.There is high jump , long jump , shot put , running , and discus but I am going to just talk about running and high jump.

First I am just going to talk about high jump and tips that could help you.If you run up slowly and then gradually get faster, jump and scissor kick your legs.You should land on you feet and not jump backwards because you might fall off and hit your head .

Second running.When you run you should swing your arms beside you to create more momentum.You should also lean forward but not to forward or else you might fall and land on your face.When you start you should be on one knee and lean forward so then you can get a running head start.

For reading the thing I have to work on the most is inferring so then I can get better and so it will be at an even level with all the other reading goals.I'm getting on with it and I'm almost there but I still need some help.

For writing I should work on is to re craft to improve content and message so then I can make more sense to talk to the audience.I still have a lot of mistakes in my writing and whenever I think of this goal it reminds me to do this

S.T.E.A.M Project

On the 31st of July we entered this project thing called S.T.E.A.M which stands for Science,Technology,Engineering,And Math .The first we did was enter the hall and then the teachers were explaining what the S.T.E.A.M project is all about.And then this man came in and then told us about keeping the environment clean an healthy and well.

After the big talk we followed the teachers to the activities and I did stick man animations with Mrs Todd but there were a bunch of other options such as Break out edu,Chopsticks,knitting,scratch,Pixel art and other things.The first thing we did was going into this practice game thing and then we had to draw a person and some objects.And then after the practices we went onto these game activity things where we would draw a stick man and then add another frame to create a stick man animation.And there was another activity where we would do an animation with a pre made stick man.
