Cycling: A Sporting Moment in Time

A few weeks ago we brought our bikes to school for a safety check. We worked with Constable Joss and our signs for when we are biking on the road or on the foot path. After biking we started to write about it. We used present tense to make the reader feel like he/she are actually there. Here is my writing.

Finally we start biking through and around the court. As I whizz through the middle of the court felling like I am in a sports car. We start to do a course. When we start to cycle on the course, it is really well made. I’m racing to the ramp feeling like I am in a RACE! When I fly up the ramp again, I feel like I can touch the clouds. The other jump look easy but really they are not that easy. So I just race as fast and I can and clear the jump like I am nearly going to fly out of space. I skid around the cone and bolted over the ladder. At the end I try to do another skid. When I put the brakes on, I nearly did a skid and instead I made a awesome parking like a car.

We buddy up and practiced our signals riding through the middle of the court. My seat is as hard as metal, but when I push my hands into it, it feels like foam. “Oh no, my chain cover broke!” No worries it doesn’t do much, it just protects the chain from dirt and mud.

Back to the course. Same thing over and over but… “AHHHHH!” I failed the jump and fell off the ramp. I feel nervous going over the next one and I cleared it again but just before you know it I SMASH, to the ground making my bike slower as I dashed past the cone. Over the bumpy ladder, a little bit o zig zag. All of a sudden in line again. Waiting and waiting as I chatter to my friends and at the time it my turn to rush around the track. Ramp number one is a cleared jump for me, and ramp number two… “NOOOOO NOT AGAIN!” As the chain scraps my leg skin and flows to the ground. “OUCHH!” Waiting in line trying not to scream about the chain scraping my leg. As I chatter to my friends making me feel better. I think I am about to start a race, I pretend I’m on a motorbike, VROOM VROOM, like I could be a SUPERSTAR flipping through the air. SMACK! I hit the ground. I then go around a cone, bump, bump, crack, on the ladder. Then a little zig zag, and back at the start again. We have now finished and It’s time for Constable Joss to leave. I had so much fun biking and learning things to do when you bike on the road.

Book Review

In room five we have made a book review on the latest book we have read. I haven't finished my book but it is the only book I can put on my book review. My book is "Tom Gates Everything's Awesome" and I might do another one of the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid. We had to include: the author, the title, what it is about, what is the problem and more. I included all of them and didn't have any more space or things to add in. One important thing we had to add in is that we had to describe the main character. If you want to see my first book review click on this link: My Book Review. Here is my book review on Tom Gates.

Global Warming

In room five we have been reading about Global Warming for Infobytes. We had to buddy up and make a Google drawing about it. My buddy Jackson and I have made ours and here it is. After we finished our drawing we had to post it on our blog. My buddy Jackson and I have made ours and here it is.

Autumn Haiku

In room five, we went on a site called Haiku. Haiku is a site where you make poems. It is not a big poem but it is still worth making it. Haiku is also a traditional Japanese poem. We had to count the syllables that were in our sentences in our poems. Before we finished it, we had to count how many syllables we had in our sentences too. We had a limit of syllables that we could put in each line. The numbers went, five, seven, five. Here is my poem.

Swimming Term 1

In room five, we have been writing about our swimming in term one. Our teacher shared out a slideshow and then we put what we had to put in. Here are some questions that we answered. What did you enjoy about swimming? Who helped you improve your swimming? There are some more that we answered. Here is my slide.

Life Education Harold

A few weeks ago we went to Life Education with Harold. This time with Harold we learnt about the body and the foods we eat. We went with Harold twice and the second time we went with Harold, Isabel got picked for an x-ray on her body. After Harold left the school we buddied up and made a Google drawing. My buddy Blake and I made our Google drawing on Harold and here it is.

Hunting and Fishing Competition.

In room five, we have been learning to write a description and use present tense while writing it. This time we wrote about the Hunting and Fishing Competition. We had to describe what was there and what was happening. My goal in this was to hook the reader in. Here is my description.

Hunting and Fishing

Strolling down the track, making my way down to the domain where all the Hunting and Fishing stuff goes down, I notice a huge white marquee with heaps of dead animals around it and huge trucks that are holding different animals that are dead. As soon as I make my way down I already smell the rank goats, dried up blood and death of the animals. I’m here now and I don’t know what to look at first. I gasp at the amount of hares that are in big sacks and trucks. The deer hang down from trucks and it’s not just deer, there are much more on the trucks that are hanging down. I suddenly get a small glimpse of the ripped open stomachs of deer, goats and more. I stare at all of the deer on the back of trucks and magpies with a little bit of fish. Chatter, chatter is all I hear from everyone and I can’t see any more fish.

I amble across the grass to the fish section and check out how many fish there are. I look at the people weighing their fish and other animals on the scales. After a while of staying around the dead animals I kind of feel bad for them and disgusted. I feel kind of left out because this is my first ever time going to a hunting and fishing competition. I start to wonder if there are any eels or something like that around.
I wander around the domain and try to find some eels. I finally find the eels and now I would like to touch them. When I touch one I feel like I am touching a huge pile of slime on a huge rock. I’m not sure what to look at now because there is not much more to see so I go home.

Opinion

I really liked the Hunting and Fishing Competition and seeing all the animals that people caught. I was a little interested when I saw the amount of deer and chamois that were caught that were also hanging down.
