Extreme Fear

Walt: write a story in sequence.

Yesterday was the big jump. Chris wanted to break the world's biggest fear fall. He was really scared because he was going to spring into space and zoom down to earth.

Chris and his ground crew zoomed straight to England to execute the worlds biggest jump. The helium balloon carried Chris all the way up into the galaxy where you cannot hear a thing.

He was just about to spring into space. Chris was extremely terrified he felt like he was going to faint. When he jumped he just felt like he was gliding on air. When Chris was going to land on earth his visor were really foggy he couldn’t see anything. Luckily he quickly wiped his visor and he landed perfectly like he had planned.

Chris had a lot of guts to jump from out of space. His crew asked him “was it a lovely trip down?”. Everyone said he had the speed to zoom really fast.

Chris had landed really safe onto the ground. Everyone was amazed that he made it down really safe. He was proud of himself for taking the helium balloon up into space and jumping out of it.

The message is about doing something crazy and believing in yourself.

Technology Lesson

Walt: write a narrative.

Technology

This week in technology we are learning how to construct a joint. Every Monday mornings the year 7 students go to Tamaki College. We go by bus to Tamaki College.

The first process was planning. I found the planning very easy because all we had to do was think of what you are going to make. I drew my five ideas. All the measurements has to be accurate. If you make a mistake your project will be ruined.

The second process was to learn the safety rules. The first and most important rule is don’t fiddle because if you fiddle you’re not going to finish your work or pay attention to the teacher. The next rule was stools in. If your stool is not in Mr. Grundy will take the stool away from you and you would have to stand up for the whole lesson. The final rule is closed shoes. If you don’t have closed shoes you could get hurt when using tools and it won’t be Mr Grundy’s fault it would be your fault because you didn’t follow the rules. Following the rules is really important because if you don’t you're going to get yourself hurt.


I enjoy technology because we get to do lots of fun stuff and my classmates enjoy it, too. I think we should stay at hard materials because it just so much fun and the things we make we get to keep.

A Very Big Thanks

Dear Mum

Thank you very much for spending lots of money on me and buying my netbook.

When its maths time I really get frustrated putting fractions into order from smallest to biggest.But I’m starting to get the hang of it now because I have my cosdibrics teacher Mrs Lammes to help me when I am struggling.

Reading is really cool because I get to talk about where the setting took place and how did it end did it end in a happy way or in a sad way.

Writing is really difficult for me because I just feel like I’m going to stay on the same stage but I’m getting there with my writing I just can’t wait to learn more about writing.

From now on I will look after my netbook and take care of it and make sure it is always safe and charged for me to learn on.

Thank You

Your daughter
Mary
