The beach

VROOOOOM VROOOOM as the Ute starts we speed off onto the road trailing behind a long line of cars following behind a smelly old truck, I turn on my phone from boredom playing white tiles, while I was playing on my phone which felt like 5 minutes then I felt the Ute stop I wondered what it was?....I looked up to see the waves crashing into each other. YAY we are finally here I screeched, Deklyn my oldest nephew and I ran straight into the waves while Jayden my youngest nephew, Sasha my eldest niece and Charlotte the youngest niece were building sand castles and playing in the sand together.



After I stayed in the water for what felt like 10 minutes I started playing in the sand and put some more sunblock on. A little while later a lady walked past with the cutest little dog ever it was brown with a pink and white bedazzled color she had the biggest brown eyes over all she was adorable. After looking at the dog I ran into the water once again crash the waves went over me.



My sister Sam called me back to the sand she said we will be going soon it is getting late, I said to her we only just got here!!! Sam said we got here at 12 o’clock and that it is already 3 o'clock so I played in the sand for a while with Charlotte then my sister said right it’s time to go.
As we all moaned and groaned back into the Ute we all turned around to notice people on motorbikes literally tearing up the sand it was flying around everywhere luckily there was no one sitting in the area where they were riding, can you imagine that?

As I got home I ran up the driveway waddling like a penguin because I had really bad rash from the sand, I jumped straight into the shower. As I got out I looked at the bathtub….. 

It was completely fill with sand. 
I still can’t figure out where was all hiding can you….?   

The modern learning enviroment

Over the past week room 18, 19 and 20 have merged together into what we call the modern learning environment we also have buddy learners and my buddy learner is Jacob J he is a great buddy and we work really well together here is a picture of my buddy and the modern learning environment.



Genius hour

GENIUS HOUR
Lately rooms 18, 19, and 20 (the Modern Learning Environment) have been doing Genius Hour.
While we do Genius Hour we can do whatever we want but of course it has to have some learning part take in it. For my Genius Hour I have been doing 19 questions about the world and their answers. Here is my plan below to show what I am doing.

19 questions I have about the World.

Q: Is it true that we were all Monkeys before we turned into Humans?
A: There is not a true answer to this question but some believe we descended from Apes and some believe we descended from Adam and Eve.

Q: Is there a way that animals communicate?
A:Animals can communicate to their own species but not others. For example The Octopus usually communicate by changing their colours. Bees do dances to communicate with others, and Crickets scratch their legs together.

Q: How is rain made?
A:The mud produces water which evaporates into the sky which then the clouds get full and it rains.

Q:Has anyone found scientific proof that Aliens are real?
A: The answer to this is from others perspectives and beliefs.

Q: How many hours do we have of school from 5 years old to 18 years old?
A:18720 hours.

Q:What happened on earth before we came here?
A:The water we have was from the comets that hit Earth millions of years ago. When the comets hit they would have I believe 5% water in them and for millions of years it rained and that's how the oceans formed.The Earth also went through different stages. Such as an Ice Age, and sometimes volcanic ashes from many volcanoes. Now I'm not saying God didn't make it.

Q:Why is summer hot and winter cold?
A:The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun which = summer(hot) or lean away from the Sun which = winter(cold)

Q:Why does the earth spin?
A:It continues to spin because of gravity.

Q:Why does February only have 28 days in that month
A:Some believe February once boasted 28 days and that Augustus Caesar stole a day so he could add it to August, which was named for him But that’s a myth. February has 28 days because, the month was an afterthought. In the 8th century they used a 10-month calendar that kicked the year off in March and ended in December. January and February didn’t even exist.

Q:Why do people die?
A:Humans die because that is the nature of life. Our bodies age they get old they become infirm, and they get weak but then there are the causes of death that happen accidentally or just happen when people have problems with their bodies,hearts,lungs and another horrible causes.

Q:Why is the sky blue?
A: A clear cloudless day sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Q:Why does the night sky go black?
A: the sky has no color of its own: it is transparent. At night, when the Sun and Moon are below the horizon, it is black, except where the stars shine through it. When the Moon rises, it turns gray: light scattered by the air molecules,

Q:Why do we need oxygen?
A: We breathe because oxygen is needed to burn the fuel sugars and fatty acids in our cells to produce energy.

Q:How many layers are on earth?
A:In total there are 4 layers on the earth!

Q:How many layers are on the sun?
A:The sun has five different layers the core, solar envelope, photo sphere, chromosome and corona.

Q:Who invented concrete?
A:Cement was made by Joseph Aspdin in 1824. Reinforced concrete was invented in 1849 by Joseph Monier. In 1889 the first concrete reinforced bridge was built, and the first large concrete dams were built in 1936, Hoover Dam and Grand Coulee Dam

Q:How many countries are in the world?
A:In total there are 196 countries in the world

Q:Why is a volcano called a volcano
A:The word volcano originally comes from the name of the Roman god of fire, Vulcan.


On the poster I will do pictures about the question E.G The word volcano originally comes from the name of the Roman god of fire, Vulcan. = I will draw a volcano.

Jazmyns basket ball skills!!

 here I am dribbling the ball with my left and right hands. I can dribble the ball while looking at the camera.

 here I am passing the ball to somebody directly at them.It is much easier to pass the ball when I have my left foot in front of my right foot and then I have my left leg bent and my right leg straight because it helps me to get more power in my body to throw the ball

 here I am shooting the ball into the hoop. Is what I did was as you can see I jumped and that helps but also to take my time to aim and slow down before shooting the goal.

Uniforms are important.

Uniforms are important


I think that uniforms are important and I have lots of reasons why and here they are below.
If you have a uniform you can show what school you are from,you can pass your clothes down to family and friends and also you don’t have the kids coming into competitions about who have the best clothes.


Firstly When you have a uniform you can represent what special school your child attends to.If the school is doing a competition against lots of different other schools then your child needs a uniform because if there are parents that want to move their child to a different school and they walk past and notice that the students are very well behaved at Parkvale because they will be able to identify where the children are from of their uniform,(and who often wins)
Secondly you can pass your clothes down to family or friends instead of having to spend more money on more uniforms.
When you pass the clothes down then the people at the desk in the office do not have to order more uniforms and spend their time doing that instead of doing more important things.
If you do decide to pass your clothes down or to sell them honestly you are helping everyone.


Lastly when you have a uniform you the teachers and the students do not have to worry about bullying because if you have a uniform then the students will not pear pressured into having different clothes such as Nike,Puma,Vans,DC's and Adidas which are now days called the cool clothes.It also apply's more pressure to the parents to buy the clothes also then the children will likely have a hissy fit if they can’t have them.


So lets keep it cool and calm at home and school!
Keep the uniforms.

Drop Kicking By Jazmyn,

Figure 8 knot.

first you need to begin with an end of string in each hand then you bring your right side of the string over top of the left side of the string...








Bring the string on top behind the other side of string shown in the picture beside...









With the piece of string that you just put around the back now needs to loop over and go through the hole but through the side that is facing you...









pull tight and that is what you should have!!

Thank you for ready and remember practice makes perfect and soon maybe you'll be sailing an optimist yacht!!

An optimist yacht

here are a few of the features on an optimist yacht

MARSHMALLOWS

MARSHMALLOWS                                                                


As I pop my head out of the luke warm water I see a bright light coming from above a short cliff not far from here.I slowly drift up on land when I see a terrible sight this thing is so hard to describe it didn’t have 4 feet with the same amount of toes it didn’t have colored skin and worst of all it didn’t have green sharp teeth.It did have 2 feet, 10 toes,white creamy coloured skin and he had white shiny teeth as he was walking along the beach.


I finally walked on the cliff after drying off when a whiff of roasted marshmallows flew by.
I followed the scent of the marshmallows when I came across a little boy roasting my  marshmallows I slowly walk up to him when I step on a rotten stick which snaps in half.The little boy turns around in a hurry and jumps up as fast as a rabbit. I see the marshmallows on the dirty unwashed crumbled up sticks in his hands all roasted,toasted and delicious.I snatch one out of his hand then we look eye to eye I smile he odly smiles back he grabs 2 more and throws them as I am running to get them I turned back to see him eating one I take one big jump which makes three enormous trees fall down exactly in the position I hoped like a triangle that blocked him in. by the time I had got back to him he had just about climbed over when I picked him up by his trousers and I went to chomp him  when I heard a little girl screaming I turned around and it was another camper I dropped the little boy in shock when I saw her with my children on her feet.
I went to leap for her when my children leapt off her feet and bit me right of the cliff and by the time I got back up the cliff the campers were gone with my children.


THE END!!
