HOUSE EVENT FUN!!

The Ned Show and Cross Country

The Ned Show 
 
The Ned Show visited our school this year. Students sat through an eventful lecture about persistence and doing your best, while yo-yo tricks were performed. Afterwards, students crowded into the hall to buy their own Ned yo-yo, and could be seen at school practising tricks. 

 

Cross Country 
 
This year's cross country was a fun-filled event, immediately followed by a sausage sizzle. The year seven and eights have been training for cross country this term. This consists of running around our school 3-5 times, and we will continue to do so for the rest of the year due to the Fun Run. The intermediate teachers are greatly enjoying this and see this as a great opportunity to become fit, while the year seven and eight students have other ideas.

Ayr Street Reserve

In Room24 we studied the Ayr street reserve. Thankfully, it was extremely easy for me because i just happen to live on Ayr St, so i didnt have to go very far for the answer (Not very far being the kitchen in my house where my mum was).

 Our job was to interview somone on what the water was like in the reserve in the 1960's. Again it was easy for me because both my mum and my grandmother live on Ayr street in that time. this is how it went:

Me: What was the water like in the 60's?

Mum: Pretty clean, 9/10.

Me: Was the water drinkable back then?

Mum: Yes

Me: Would you swim in it?

Mum: I didnt, but it would be clean enough to swim in.

Me: How would you compare the cleanness (Yes that is a word) in the 60's to now?

Mum Now it is quite pllouted, probably 4/10... i wouldnt swim in it or drink it.

Me: Was there a vast range of wild life around the reserve? e.g plants, insects?

Mum: In the 60's yes, but now, not so much.

5 paragraph Essay on an Animal

Speeding towards a helpless antelope, the cheetah pounces, a pounce to kill. The cheetah is very unique compared to its fellow big cats. Cheetahs are my favourite animal and always will be. Cheetahs are an impressive animal because of the speed that they can travel at, how they only live in one gigantic habitat, and also the wide variety of animals that they hunt for food.

First off, cheetahs are well known for their speed. They can run up to one hundred and thirteen kilometres per hour, but they can only hold that speed for two to three minutes. Now that is impressive. If you were to drive alongside a cheetah at motorway speed it could keep up for a bit. That’s pretty fast! Cheetahs can run so fast, it’s crazy!

The cheetah’s habitat is centred around the middle of South Africa. It is the only place in the world that cheetahs live in. They are surrounded by lions, antelopes, giraffes and even a few Meer cats. All of whom live in the grasslands of central South Africa. It’s amazing how cheetahs only live in on habitat, The grasslands of south Africa.

The cheetah’s food supply is quite scarce; therefore they have a wide variety of food on their diet, though thy still prefer because antelopes are fast and cheetahs like a challenging chase. Unlike most big cats the cheetah hunts during the day. They have black lines leading from their eyes down to their jaw. This is said to help them see prey three or four kilometres away. The large amount of food on their diet helps them survive with the low mount of prey nearby to hunt.

So basically, to sum it up cheetahs are pretty cool. With the speed they travel at, the distance they can see, heir one amazing habitat, and the amount of different food they hunt, they are the ultimate animal. Cheetahs are epic, and hopefully you think that to.

Today the year 7&8 boys went to the tackle rugby tournament so the class only had 18 people, Yay! (mainly girls too which made Ms Barr's job wayyy easier). We went to the library and read in silence for an hour then we went for maths. Mr J is away on Jury Duty so we had Mrs Kumpala instead. We were doing symmetry shapes and moving on to symmetrical patterns and drawings. Also the boys had lost a soccer ball before lunch so Yoobin and I spent our afternoon looking for the ball that the boys lost - We didn't have much success unfortunately. So it ended up some of them confessing to Ms Loveday and Mrs Franklin - Smith what happened to it. On Friday we are raising money by wearing muffti for Denzal's baseball championship thing, so hopefully that will go well :)
