(Thursday) Week 10, Term 3

Salut! Tout le monde! Comment allez-vous? (Hey everyone! How are you?)


It is the last week of term! YAY!



Yr 7 Speeches were yesterday and Rowan got 2nd! Yr 8 speeches are this afternoon, and three people from our class are in it, Amelia, Kylie and Oksana.

I have learnt a lot in French since the last lesson, and I am super-excited!
I have learnt how to say my family tree:

Mon grand-pere s'appelle ____                                                  Mon grand-pere s'appelle___
(My granddad is called___)                                                        (My granddad is called___)
Ma grand-mere s'appelle____                                                    Ma grand-mere s'apelle___
(My grandma is called___)                                                         (My grandma is called___)                                       
Mon pere s'appelle___                                                            Ma mere s'appelle___
(My mum is called___)                                                            (My mum is called___)
                                                                        
Moi jem'appelle Grace                                 Mon frere s'appelle___                     Ma seour s'appelle___
(My name is Grace)                                 (My brother is called___)                     (My sister is called___)

That is my family tree ;). This week we have also been doing tech, of course, and we have started building my balloon powered car! We are testing them and competing with other classes to beat  the longest distance of 16 meters! (A loooooong way!)
I will upload some photos of the pillow, bag, 'lava lamp' and ice cream watercolor I made in tech arts.

Au Revoir!

This Friday I have been away, so I missed a Tech Art session =( !I missed out on rolling down the hill of Sherwyn Park in a rubbish bin, so I’m not too devastated about that, though I would’ve wanted to get a video. So far this term for Tech Arts, Science, we have learnt a lot, but not done that much. Have made marble runs in groups as part of a competition with all the other classes, competing for a time closest to 20 seconds, my group’s was 19.99 seconds! So we are winning at the moment.

This week I have been working on a poem to publish. This is what I have so far:

Checkmate

Four rows

opposite sides

two opponents

one winner

First move

and last chance

to own the game

and take it out

Disaster crashes

plastic figures fall

launching your opponent

into a mad winning strike

Panic rises

tension grows

once empty spaces taken

precious moves wasted  

Foreign players

circle your king

no escape,

no going back now

Checkmate

Grace

Thankyou to everyone who views my blog page and reads my posts! Just a reminder, don’t be scared to add comments =P

Au Revoir

Week 8

Hey everyone!

Sorry, but I can't really remember what happened in week 8, it has been so busy and I have been doing so much, so this blog post will be covering two weeks.

Tech Arts this term is still Science and we have been learning lots but not doing much. So far we have completed a marble run, and we are so far in the lead for the best time! My group consists of me (of course), Hadlee, and Arden. Our time was the closest to 20 seconds, and it was 19.99 seconds exactly! Yaaaaaay!

Week 7 Term 3

Hi everyone!

This week I have started learning about ! I Have learnt about angles, sides, vertices, face and edges.  All geometry angles are...reflex, right, straight, obtuse, and revolution. These are what the before stated angles look like:

I have also been doing Tech Arts! YAY! So on Friday, everyone started a new cycle, and now I'm doing Science! On Friday we didn't actually do anything, but we 'experimented' with these "UFO Balls" (or at least that's what Mrs Tyson called them) that light up red, and make a whining noise, but they look really cool. The way to turn them on is this: You have to touch them in a certain area with two human fingers, or your nose or something, but you could also be holding hands with someone, their finger on one side, and your finger on the other side, without your hands touching on the ball, and waala! It lights up!
