Weekend Journal

Saturday was my Dad's Birthday!  So I went ahead and baked a cake.  I didn't know what to bake so I searched up simple cakes, because I was only a beginner baker.  In the end I chose to bake vanilla cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes are simple but delicious.  After mixing all the ingredients for the vanilla cupcakes I decided to not do cupcakes and bake a cake.  My cake turned out okay but when I trimmed it to make it perfect it got smaller.  I made the icing while the cake was cooling down.  I didn't want to put on just icing on the cake because it was my dad's birthday and I wanted to make it special.  So I put on a lot of different coloured sprinkles.  It turned out to be an awesome as cake, everyone seemed to enjoy it.  

On Sunday I tried to do a front flip because I didn't attempt doing one at Bridge Valley because I wasn't in the mood.  It took me three attempts until I actually flipped! Even though I didn't land the flip I'm still proud of myself.  Next steps is to land it and maybe do it on the ground, (probably not)

My Weekend Journal

On my weekend I spent most of it outside, I didn't really do much because everyone was busy doing something.  On Saturday I decided to try out some new Gymnastic Moves,  I tried a Scorpion and many others but I forgot.  That night we watched Narnia The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.  A book series that I've been reading, I'm on the 3rd book. 

On Sunday morning I woke up early but then went back to sleep and got out of bed late.  I started my day with a delicious breakfast, then went outside and played on the tramp.  In the Afternoon I started to work on my Scorpion (Gymnastics) I started tying to do it on the ground then worked my way up onto the wall, then eventually I tried without the wall and it worked! and that was without stretching!  I took some photos of progression and showed my friends, they were supersized. I'm very proud of myself, that I achieved my goal.  My next goal is to do a Needle which is practically a Scorpion but with a straight leg.

Overall even though my weekend was very short it still had a heap of stuff going on.

Athletics

On Monday 6th of November my class went to Athletics.  There were six events, which were: Long jump, high jump, Discus, shot put, Sprints and the 400 meter run.

My favourite two would have to be discus and sprints, because I think I tried my hardest in those two and for me they were the ones that were the funnest.  

The cons of my day at Athletics is that I didn't jump that high in High Jump because for some reason I was kind of scared of the bar.  

Overall I think that Athletics went well because everyone had fun and everyone cheered for each other.

It's cruel to keep animals in zoos, speech

During term three we have been focusing on persuasive writing.  We all had to choose a topic to write on for our upcoming speech.  For my speech I decided to choose a topic on zoos, which was It's cruel to keep animals in zoos.  When I first started to work on my speech I had trouble coming up with some ideas,  but I eventually got some help from the teacher which really helped a lot and I also checked some websites about cruel zoo facts and put it into my own words.  I got a lot of good feedback from my classmates and they said that I used a lot of repetition in my speech which made the message go through to people, well done and I definitely made an impact on the audience, but there's always room for improvement.  Next time I should have a clearer voice so that people can hear me better and use some more complex words to make my speech more interesting.  Overall I'm happy with my results and I hope that I'll do more better speeches in the future.

Maths Investigation MD & LF

For our maths statistical investigation we decided to do how many times you can clap while you throw a cricket ball in the air.  Here is what we found out

Six more people got 12 - 14 claps than 6 - 8 claps 
The least amount of people got 0 - 5 claps
More people got 9 - 11 claps than 15 - 16 claps 
Only five people didn't get 12 - 14 claps 
The same amount of people got 0 - 5 claps and 15 - 16 claps
