Tomorrow all the year fives are going to compete in the ‘Mini Olympics’. We have been working in our grades making flags and mascots and choosing which events we would like to participate in. The events are an egg and spoon race, basketball shoot out, hoola hoop spin, four square, tball hit, monkey bar hand, sack race and skipping. It will be lots of fun. We can’t wait!

Today we went down to Sawyer Park for the 150th celebration of AFL NAB.  We did four activities. They were The Big Kick, Handballing,Stretching and a tour of the NAB AFL truck. With The Big Kick what you had to do was there was a big net with a target on and you had to try and get it on the red bit of the target or insidethe blue line, after that you had to try and get it over the whole blow up thing. The handballing one was a big blow up thing and there was footy players on it and a hole where you had to handball it into, you had teams as well our team scored 18 we were the highest score. In the truck there was lots of things to look at and you could even play a game of footy on the play station. The stretching one was you did all different ball handling skills. After that we went back to school I had a great day at the footy.

Disadvantages
Gears are sometimes too hard to change
Metal rusts
Not safe enough
The chains can get caught on your pants
When left in the rain can go rusty
Dogs chase them
The grip wears away and breaks
It only has two wheels
The tyres need pumping up
You can fall off
It is harder for old people with arthritis to hold onto the handle bars
When you are riding the tyres can pop, or go flat
You have to put your hand out to signal a turn
The tyres are not thick enough
Brakes can fail
If you start going down a hill it can be hard to stop

Improvements
A GPS tracker and vibrating system to alert you to any cars or danger that you may not be aware of
A touch screen gear changer
Indicators to tell people when you are turning
A rocket booster to use if you get tired
Fast acting brakes
A steering wheel
Cruise control
Rust resistent metal
Heaters to warm up handle bars
A floating device, to hover through traffic
Should be made a aluminium so it can be lifted easier
Better grip for wheels
Should have four wheels for better control
Should be able to glow in the dark
Umbrella in case of rain

Today Heather Blakey came into our ‘learning studio’ to inspire us to publish work on the Internet, using Global student. We think it is pretty cool to be able to share our work with the others on a global level. We are all looking forward to developing our global projects!

On the holidays mum and me were painting my room white. I’m getting a double bed very soon i am excited. I also went to see KUNG FU PANDA!!! It was funny and when I came back cougar was in the paint we had to wash her. She liked to roll around in it and go on the carpet so now we have white carpet, instead of green carpet. Now we just need to get the mattress and my room is going to be done.

On saturday we played Edenhope we have won one and they have won one by five points, an under 15 girl played it but we willl win next time the end of my story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
