Term 1- Reading Challenge Post 1

Title- Like Nobodys Watching

Author- L.J. Ritchie

Illustrator- L.J. Ritchie

Rating- 13+ Because its a little inappropriate sometimes. 

This book is about a boy who lives with his Dad, Mum, and cousin. He goes to a bad school that has really naughty kids in it. He is in a classroom up in the top class with lots of people who smoke and don't like doing work. My favorite character is Sam, Oscars best friend because she is really kind. My least favorite character is Oscars cousin because he is really annoying

He doesn't like his cousin because he is really annoying. The main Character is Oscar he isn't naughty but he got put in a bad class. He has to put a desk under his door handle in his room so that his little cousin Cameron can't get in. The most important part of the story is when they are trying to hack the surveillance cameras at school because that is what the story is mostly about. 

He and his friends are trying to find some sort of security cameras that are videoing the kids in different places and not giving them any privacy. I think this book is trying to teach us that you have to have some sort of privacy at school instead of having cameras everywhere. I like this book because it is really interesting and adventurous. I think me and Oscar have a connection because we both have really annoying cousins. 

I think the title does fit the book they shut down all of the surveillance cameras so that the teachers can't see what anyone is doing. So I think Like Nobodys Watching is a good title for the book. Overall I am enjoying this book so far. 

Averages W7 T4

This past week I have been going outside and shooting hoops to find the average of my shooting. The first day I got 4/10 Tuesday I got 6/10 Wednesday I got 4/10 Thursday I got 6/10 and Friday I got 7/10. I think that it was good because I improved by the time it got to Friday. My average in the end was 5.2 and I was shooting from 2.12 meters away from the hoop. Here is our video that we made. 

Reflection W6 T4

This week my Numeracy group has been focusing on ratios we had to make a fruit kebab but before we made it we had to make a ratio for how many of the different fruits and marshmallows we were putting on. Here is my google drawing of what my ratio was. 

West Coast Athletics

On Wednesday of this week, I went to West Coast Athletics! I got in for - Shot Put, High Jump, Long Jump, 100m Sprint and 60m sprint. For shot put I came 5th, For High jump I came 1st and I jumped 1.30m, for 100m sprint I came 2nd and for 60m sprint I came 3rd=. To get to Canterbury you have to get 1st or 2nd so I got in for the 100m sprint and high jump. I am very excited to go to Canterbury!

You had to read the sub titles and then Miss Hines would stop the movie and we had to remember the sub title before she paused it so we pretty much had the read the sub titles. the movie we are doing is Ink Heart. Here is my activity.

Grey District Athletics

On Wednesday it was grey district athletics. I got in for everything except discus. When we first got there Mrs Clark gave us instructions about where we are going first. 

The year 8 girls went to shot put first. I threw 5.90m and I came 3rd. My first throw was the only throw that counted because the other 2 were no throws. After I had my 3 throws we waited until the hooter went and then we walked over to do the 60m Sprint. 

Waiting at the starting line nervously I heard "On your marks, Get set, BOOM. I sprint off. At the end I put of foot over the line in first place! So I came first in that race. 

Then We went to have a rest before discus. I didn't do discus. I watched Mackenzie do it. 

Then we went to high jump I jumped 1.30m high. I came first again! Then we went to long jump. I jumped 4.00m. Which was the longest jump. Then we had another break until finally Our last race the 100m sprint. I won again with a time of 14.03 seconds!

At the very end we had a relay where the 2 fastest girls and 2 fastest boys from each age group and from each school race 100m each around ANZAC park. We came 1st in the relay as well.

That was my day! I loved athletics and I cant wait for West Coast Next Wednesday! I got in for everything I done!  

Numeracy T4 W3

This week we have been learning about the different types of triangles. I have learnt that a Scalene has all different angles, an Isosceles has 2 angles the same size and 1 different, and an equilateral has all the same size sides. We also did some Maths Buddy tasks about angles and I got 10/10 in all 4 of them. I liked learning about triangles because it was really easy to pick up. Here are some pictures of the different types of triangles.
