The Run

Walt: Write a recount about your experience.

Do you like running? Well I don't so imagine how it would have been like sprinting, today I had to put my sprinting to the test. Today we had a Race.

I was surprised when Mr Goodwin told us we had to line up. Everyone was lined up except for me and then Mr Goodwin told me to hurry up I was a bit embarrassed. I had to hurry up and then Terry came out of the corner. I thought “Thank God I thought I was the only one.”

When we walked to the field I was wondering “why are we at the field.” Then When we were lining up I thought  “Oh No it's a Run.” I just wanted to do some free writing that was all I wanted to do. Mr Goodwin told us the instructions and then we got ready to run.

Mr Goodwin surprised me by saying “Go” and not doing a countdown. I was doing Ok and then I started laughing I was actually having a good time that was just really weird for me. I looked around and everyone was laughing I was like what is going on I felt very odd.When we got to the finish I sat on my buns and then I fell onto my back I didn’t care if I got a wet backside, in fact I liked it. When we all finished Mr Goodwin put us all in to groups one and two and then  he took us to have a drink I had a quick drink and it was delicious. I then lined up behind Jaedah.

I hope that we can do that run/race Occasionally. Can you believe it, we all had a good time. I liked that run a lot it was really fun. I hope that the run we did turns into the normal run.

Task Description: For this task I had a fun Experience and then I made a new doc in my writing folder. I did my introduction, body paragraphs, and my Conclusion. I published it on my blog with a complete high standard with a Title, Walt , Task Description and Labels.

Newspaper Towers

WALT: write a recount about our experience.

Have you ever built a tower of newspapers before? Well I have it is absolutely hard, but i guess it was with a group and there was a timer I think it would have been easier alone and without a timer. You should really give it a go one day.

When our teacher Mr Goodwin told us about the newspaper tower challenge. I thought it would be stacking all of the newspapers, and finding out which one was the highest. It wasn’t. Instead we had to make a plan once we got in our groups. For one part I wasn’t really listening, because I had too many ideas in my head. I faced Hinerangi who was beside me and then I mouthed “me and you”, and she did the eyebrows at me. We moved a little closer so we wouldn’t forget.

Next we worked out our plan. I was thinking a platform at the bottom, and then scrunched up paper at the top. Soon we started the building. Our plan failed. I thought that it would be as easy as baking a cake, apparently not. I was confident with my plan but I soon learned that you had to adapt is as you go.

My team was Hinerangi, Me, Nasibah, Ana, and Maria we were still feeling pretty confident. Our tower however was not going so swell, we then changed the plan and made some poles. We used the newspaper to hold it up. We never recovered though, and we lost.

After that I learned you had to adapt your plan and start over and over again. When we finished we had to put away the tape and scissors. Guess what we did what we did with the newspaper tower, yup we threw it in the bin!

Task Description: For this task i made some towers out of news paper and then I made a copy of the template and put it in my writing folder. I then wrote the paragraphs separately and then posted it all together. I put it on my blog with a WALT, Task Description Labels, and a Title.
