Room 19 Tennis

Every Thursday room 19 goes to play tennis, it is a fun and enjoyfull game. I got to learn some new skills.We practice first then we start on playing some games.Then we are put in to even groups and vs other people in our class.The game is easy to play because you have to beat the other team to win.Some teams disappointed because they lose.
Tennis balls and tennis racquet's we use to play tennis with. When you play tennis you have to try and hit the ball inside the line so you can get points and not to be out. When you or other people play you have to be really hard because your trying to win.

Thanks to Jonty and Sione for checking my work.

Furniture Design For The Street...

For the last few weeks we have been Designing on our future design and
we looked up lots of pictures for our designs.Were looking forward to making our designs.
Then we got some cardboard and started to draw our design and cut our design out.
Our teacher said to bring stuff to class to start on our design. We use big cardboard to draw our designs and then cut it out.Some of the people in the class little designs chair that people can sit on in the street. I made a beach chair,when I finish putting my design together my teacher look at it and told me when I’m really,to put the papers on I was very excited to making my future design. My teacher helped me with some of my work. Next I got two cans from home to put under to make it bend. And we all had to clean up the classroom.

Next day our furniture designs were just about finish so we had to finish it before taking a picture with the video Camera.

Thanks to Jonty and Ervin for editing my work.

Outta This World Holiday

Brring....... ‘ Screamed the alarm .I wanted to stay in my dream.My outta this world dream holiday.

For my holiday I wanted to go Outta this world and explore in space and go to Saturn because that’s my favourite planet.Saturn is a flattened ball it spins so quickly on it’s axis that the planet
flattened itself.

My dream holiday I want to go to space to explore and also see all the planets and the moon. It all started when I dreamed about where I wanted for my Outta this world holiday. Then I woke up in bed I got up and walked towards the T.V. then a light shine on me. I thought someone was turning on the light to wake me up but no I thought it was the sun.I’m in space I can’t believe eyes how can this happen is this for real I got off my bed and looked around and around. It was quit there was no noise at all I took little steps I fill over. When I got up something was so bright I can’t see where I was walking so I out my hands near my face and looked down to the ground to my foot to see where I was going then I walked into a big shinny light Then I got up and took 10 steps away from the shinny light then I took my hands off my face and it was the Sun. I’m getting near the planets I thought.

“I said in my head “is this a dream is is this a dream then I thought I saw Mercury but I wasn’t sure if it was then I heard a noise coming from the back of me I looked no one was there I heard the noise again I looked on one was there,I was scared I wanted to go back home but there was noway back home. I try to call for help but no one didn’t reply so I kept on calling until a reply answered who’s there “hello” I said anyone there hello. Then the noise shopped I was so scared. I thought somebody was playing a trick on me. But they were just calling if anyone was there then he came out and said are you alright no I came to visit all the planets but I can’t get there. Then he said lets tour around space let’s go then as we continue on flowing around space I said to my space friend what is that well that is the milky way, I did not known that was the milky way.

Lets keep looking around OK where are the planets flow me he said we were quite then he said by the way my name is Tom,here are the planets can I look yes that's why we came here Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune that’s all the planets in order wait..... and Pluto but Pluto is not a planet it’s a star.

Wake up wake up I woke up so fast and looked around it was my big brother’s what time for breakfast first I went to wash my face then I went for breakfast. I told my brother’s and sister’s that I was in space. It was a dream it wasn’t it was if it was how come you’re here.... You’re right it was a dream.... so I wasn’t in space and I did fly around space with my friend Tom who’s Tom they all said my friend in space it was a dream I known....

Team 5 Fun Sports

On Tuesday the 23 after morning tea room's 19, 20, 21,and 22 all went down to the field to play some games and sports.The first sports was with Mr.Harris the tennis ball tied up leg race it was fun because we had to run with the ball to the other side and back some of us had two or three turns to run to other side and back.That game was fun because get to fall over and to run a round with the tennis ball.Then the voice speaker rang to change over to the next group.

The game went to was Mrs Una's game it was called the bucket and water game your team had to be in font to pass the water thing to the side and under to the next person and the last person runs and put the water out and the group that has the most water in the bucket wins.

Cross Country

Yes, its cross country! I thought. I was nervous as I walked off to the start line. I hadn’t run a cross country race, they are longer than other races, and I was nervous of getting hurt on the rough ground.

“Ready to race? 3,2,1,” yelled Ms. V as she clapped the starting boards together. The year 8 boys zoomed off like a fast car speeding up the road! We all raced down to the far side of the field. I was already tired, but I sped up anyway to catch up with my friends. They were a long way ahead!

I caught them near the beach, the one at Pt England Reserve, the track there was muddy. ‘Mash’ water came into my shoes. “Come on, lets get going,” I said.
Breathlessly Marven said, “Stop, have a rest.”
So I walked with Marven until he caught his breath then we jogged up the track.

We passed some girls and boys that were walking. We kept running toward school, the year 8 boys and girls had to run extra because they are the oldest, out onto the reserve again and to the finish line. Before the line I thought, ‘I’m tired’.
“Come on!” yelled Mr J, “The race is nearly finished!”

I ran to Marven and Damion,and said we can finish the race together!” But they said
we can’t run just go I said why because we are going to walk OK bye.

“Go David they said to me finish line is there I said in my head I could hear people shouting when I saw the finish line some students I could hear students yelling go David go I looked and spirited to the finish line.

Who invented Band-Aids?

Earle Dickson invented Band-Aids to help with treatment of minor injuries. Band-Aids are easy to apply for yourself and quick to put on.

Earle Dickson was born on October 10,1892 and he died on September 21,1961.

He noticed his wife was always cutting her fingers in the kitchen while preparing food. At that time a bandage consisted of separate gauze and adhesive tape that you would cut to size and apply for yourself.

Earle Dickson invented Band-Aids to help with a treatment of minor injuries. If we did not have Band-Aids we wouldn't have quick, easy treatment for cuts and absasions. Band-Aids can help heal faster by stopping infection.
