The Great Adventure

There was once a girl called Amy that was very interested
in scientists that save the world. She has wanted to be one since she
was 3 but now she is 7 she is much older and is way more confident about
being one. She feels that she is going to be a great scientist when she is
older. She has a best friend that is also 7 years old. Her name is Zara. She
is a very nice girl but she can be quite sensitive about what other people say
about her. She is always nice to other people but sometimes they aren't
very nice to her. One Day they were Having a playdate and they asked if
they could go on an adventure and so they did. Zara asked if they could go
to the same place as last time. Amy said no we are going to adventure
somewhere else this time. Last time they went to the park that was far
away that they didn't even know the way to. Zara asked if they could go to
the forest and Amy said yes. They packed a picnic and headed off for the
forest. When they got there they decided that they would go Zara said
lets go left, then Amy said no lets go right. The right path was dark and
the left path was light. Amy's mum said they would go left this time and
maybe they would go right next time. Amy then said WE HAD BETTER!
So they wandered off into the forest to find the perfect picnic spot.
When they came across a big patch of green grass they thought that this
was the perfect spot to have a picnic. They got out the cookies and ate.
They also had fruit and lollies and other types of food. They all thought
that it was a great lunch, but there was one problem, They didn't remember
what way they had come from. Amy said they wouldn't have to go to school
ever again secretly knowing what way they had come from. Then her mum
said oh yes you will. I will call the cops and ask if they can try and find us.
Amy said there's no need. We can just wait here for life. We have food and
there is a water fountain right over there. I don't think we will last even with
food and water out here plus Zara's mum will kill me if she stays with me out
here. Now I am calling the cops and before you come up with another plan to
keep us out here. Sorry but I already have and the last couple of years you
haven't needed a warning about me being a fast thinker. I just thought you
wouldn't need one today. But sad for me I was wrong. Oh well. Well would
you like to know my plan or would you rather me just do it. She said she
doesn't want either so they didn't get in any more trouble. Amy then said
that she would choose for her and that she would choose just to do it. So
let's just go over there and oh I forgot to tell you this is a good plan and
school can be kinda helpful. Lets go over there and try the path that I know
is the right path to get home just because I don’t want you to die. What do
you mean you don’t want me to die? Well you said that Zara's mother would
kill you if she was stuck here forever. Oh that wouldn't really happen that's
just how I explained what would not really happen but at least it made you
care for me. Like you never have before. Ok follow me to the best place in
the world: home safe warm home. Ok let’s go through the forest this way
and let's go in between the trees over this way and here we are. Home sweet
home. This has been the best day ever!

Tennis👓

Tennis is my favorite sport I have played for about three or four years and I really enjoyed it. On my second year of tennis my brother and sister played but my other brother was to young. I am still playing now on a saturday morning at shirley tennis club. I really want to play interclub because it is my dream to play. I really love playing tennis and I think that it would be a really cool experience for me to play interclub.👍

The School Fair!

On sunday March 8 our school had a school fair. It was filled
with fun and excitement and there was heaps to do. My Dad
gave me $10 to spend and I spent it all very quickly. First I
bought a jolly jar that was my own and then I went to buy a
drink. After that I got an ice cream. My  ice cream was
chocolate flavored and it was delicious. The first thing I did
was the maze in which my friend Emma’s mum paid for. The
maze had a mystery word that involved clues to figure it out.
Then I went over to my mum to chat about the maze and the
clues to find the word “AMAZING.”

Then I went to the fire truck with Emma. There was one
fireman in the truck and one fireman standing by the step
helping us on and off. After that we went to find Emma's
mum and then I went to the bouncy castle. I had two turns
on the course then I got off. It was a fun bouncy castle but
wasn't too bouncy. After the bouncy castle I went to archery
and had quite a good turn. I had fun and got some good shots.
There were red arrows, blue arrows, white arrows and orange
arrows. After that we went to ride the old car rides but they
had just finished their last ride. I was quite sad but it was ok
because I was allowed to go and use the kids zone ticket on
some fun games out the front. I played the game where you
throw the balls into the holes and they have an amount of
points on them. Next I played knock down. I got a pretty good
shot after l had my first tun I finished with three cans left.
Then I went to the guessing game next. It was so much fun
because the last thing that you have to guess is the lollies.
I took lots of turns just for the lollies. After the school fair
I went to meet baby Blake, my cousin for the first time and it
was also my mum's first time too. We met my Aunty outside
the hospital. And then we all walked in together. When we
were in the hospital and in my Aunt's room we saw baby Blake.
She was so small and cute and she had so much hair all ready.
Mum had a little hold and then she asked if I was allowed one
too. I was so I did. Then I got to have some giant m&ms. For
the rest of the visit I was allowed to  hold the baby and i didnt
want to let go. She was so cute and then mum made a joke she
said: congratulations Sarah and dj you have two daughters now.
She only said that because I didn't want to give somebody else
a turn holding the baby because she was so cute. It was the
cutest baby that i had ever seen. I really wanted more m&m’s
but I knew it would be rude to ask and plus I had already had
a whole hand full of them. They were good but I had more
treats at home. We didn't want to be too long at the
hospital but we stayed longer anyway. The baby was so cute.
I really wish that they didn't live so far away. I would love
it if they had bought the house that was just next door to
us but somebody already did. After we had been there long
enough we decided to go home so we said goodbye and we
left really wishing that we could stay longer. We headed
home a long and really fun car ride. When we got home
the other kids were going for a bike ride and so i
watched something on the tv. It was called brooklyn
99. It's about policemen and women that have all sorts of
mysteries to solve and lots of adventures to go on. The main
character is called jake. It is my favorite tv show because it
is so interesting and i really love watching the program.

The Jolly Jar experiment!!!!!!!!!

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers
putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively
to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin
exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community
through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product,
experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others. 

Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be easy to understand and the font needs to be easy to read. 
When you write instructions you need to read them out loud to yourself and possibly even get
someone else to  check them as well. You do that to make sure that they make sence and you
should always do that before publishing.

Reflection on PBL:

For PBL our group was doing flowers in a jar. We found that it was much harder while working
with people that we don't usually work with. In the end it all worked out and we got it done but
just in time because it was the last day to finish our jars.

For our Jolly Jar we had to do an action plan that chose our idea. For a little while we were
thinking of doing paper snowflakes but in the end it was flowers in a jar. It was a rush to
get them done but we worked as a group and made it finally.

I contributed to my group by bringing the soil and seeds for the jolly jar and a jar as well.
I helped to prepare and pack the things to grow the flower into the jar. I made sure nothing was
missing from the jar by checking them.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because not very many people plant things in a jar. We also think it
was creative because instead of drainage holes we used stones. I collected the rocks from my
driveway at home. 

What I learned about working with others was that it can bring people closer together and make
friendships stronger. It can also make the product more interesting because of the people in the
group. Different people have different ideas. Everybody has a different mind so everybody has
a different way of thinking.

How did we build community through our actions?

We raised money for our school bike track. The children will have fun using it and we will all
appreciate the  work put into raising the money. The amount of money raised was very good
and I hope we are capable of doing this again. As year 5,6 we were all really                                                                                                         

proud of how well the fair went on sunday 8 March 2020.

My avatar

This is my avatar. I created it on google drawings and it took quite a while. Here's what I did. First I took a photo of myself then I went onto line and clicked curve. next I traced around the edge of my face. Then I went shapes then oval and made the shape of my face. I did the same with the hair but because the pony tail wasn't showing I added one my self.all I traced was my face shape and my hair shape. The rest was just me making it look like me and I think it turned out pretty well. It took me some time to achieve this but it came to the time for me to finish up. I really enjoyed doing this but when I finished it I was proud of my self.
