Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers.

My team is Brumbies

There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

Furniture Design Solutions

After
Before

We have been designing a model for the street. Our problem is we don’t have any chairs or sitting equipment to sit on. I have been designing a furniture chair, it has been paper Mashhad, painted and ready for it’s picture. Cardboard has been cut into small pieces. Barb wire has been struck-ed at the backrest to make it stiff. And a toilet roll is under neath the seat. To Be Continued......?

Swimming

Splash, water is splashing every where, it’s like I’m drowning in fun. I was soaking wet as I race with my friends. My free style isn't good but I’ll manage to do it, swimming has showed me to be a successful swimmer and helps me survive while I’m in the beach. My arms churned the water, my legs kicked like a bat out of hell! And Zoom! there I was, last to reach the end of the pool. I felt embraced, but may be I’ll manage one day.

Forestry/ If I Had A Job

If I had a job
It will be to lift up logs.

If I had a job
I wouldn't be a fob.

If I had a job
I'll bet in the morning there will be a fog.

If I had a job
I'll be just like Bob.

The Potato Chip

George Crum was the creator of this food (Potato Chips). The chip is an accidental invention.
This invention takes us back to the 80’s, it was a summer day when George Crum (the inventor) was a chief at an elegant resort in Sara toga Springs, New York.
A dinner guest was at the restaurant and ordered some of George’s french fries, but the fries were too thick for his taste. He rejected the order and so Crum redid the french fries and they became paper thin chips. And that’s how this type of food was born.
Crum’s date of birth was in 1822 in Sara Toga, New York. His death was in 1914 he was a native American Man. Not much can be found about his early life and education. He was the son of a mulatto jockey and an Indian maid.
Did you know he opened his own restaurant and he put a basket of some of his famous potato chips on every table. As you know now potato chips are every where, they come in all different sizes, packets and flavours.

My Highlighs From Last Term

reLooking Back - Looking Forward

Looking Back at Term 1 my learning has not been improving well. But it did not keep me down from having fun. I was enjoying Camp Take Charge, but mostly Rock up. There were all kinds of fun like Archery, Dunker and even swimming. It was breath taking. Just think of all the terms?, or even next year, there could be even more fun. I am also happy that the net books are finally here. My highlights of term 1 were awesome.

Looking forward- I am discovering new adventures, words nouns and verbs. My improvement today has been earned and my learning skills are better than I thought. Bigger, Better, Faster, and Stronger is our model or Topic.
Looking forward-
