Cross Country

OH NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said to myself as I woke up this morning there is Cross Country today. Cross Country is when you get into your age group and run with all the children that are your age. But there obviously are boys races and girls races so we get separated. Oh man I remember last year my spot was not pretty. I really hope that this year my placing will be extremely better than last year. Thumbs up and I am hoping for a good place. Oh Yeah GO TAINUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to the ASB Grounds and staying at the Chorus Stand

Today Mr Max Jacobsen, Mubasshira, Chante and I went to the ASB Show grounds in Greenlane.
We went there because we had to pretty much be ambassadors for the school, outside school.

In September 2011 some of our Pt England students worked at the Chorus stand demonstrating things we need USB for to help us learn.

The stall where we helped out was at the Chorus stall. It is the Company that is helping us to try to make our Broadband work way faster.

It was extremely fun because since Mr J was a hilarious clown we all had a heap of fun and made a lot of jokes. As we were there we had played a game. The point of the game was to try and get the most pamphlets. It was really hard because I thought that the pamphlets were only for adults and I was also way too shy to go up and get one. Most of the stalls had at least a bowl full of candy. After we all had a turn to have a go me and Chante were being a little crazy and sucking up the helium gas that was in our balloons. But yeah it was extremely fun and I wish to do it again some time. And thank you Mr J for the fun.

Historical Files about Camera's

I have been reading a story set in the future called Space Nuts Light Speed by Simon Cooke. Just like in this story, I have written a historical file about an object we use on earth, that someone could read about in the future.

Camera's are used to store photo's of any special occasion's and anything or anyone.
In the future there will be a camera installed in peoples eyes so that they won't miss a single time of their life that is funny. Or Sad or anything. In the future people will be able to scan their finger prints over their eyes so that they can print straight away.

Digestive System

The beginning of this term the Extension Group had a task to research about the Digestive System. We did this to find out about how Healthy bodies look like and how malnourished bodies looked like as well.

My bit in the movie is the Small intestine. It looks like sausages but really YUCK to eat. In an adults body it is about 7 meters long. And the fact that it lives in a humans body is astonishing. The small intestine (also known as small bowel) is the longest portion of the digestive track. It is also located in the abdomen.

I would rate my movie 5 out of ten because my voice over is really bad. But over all for the whole team I would give it a 9 out of ten which is excellent. And one mark off because of me. It is quiete funny as well.

Sit back relax and enjoy your way through the journey of the GUTS.

Comments:

As we all were waiting impatiently to get a racket each, we had to learn how to hold the racket first. We had to grip the racket loosely and we had to act like we were shaking somebodies hand, which was quite awkward. And we had to let our wrist move and nothing else. Laureen taught us some of the ways we should hold it. One was the forehand it is when we are trying to hit the shuttle really hard over the net or when ever you like. Then there is a backhand when you would like to serve the shuttle or just hit it randomly.
